The Chase Aeroplan Credit Card is offering 75,000 Aeroplan points after $4,000 in purchases within the first 3 months of account opening. That is 25% more than the previous 60,000-point offer, for $1,000 more in required spend. No end date has been published , the offer is described as limited time.
If you have been eyeing the Aeroplan card or have Air Canada travel coming up, this is the highest publicly available offer on the card. The elevated bonus went live April 16, 2026.
What 75,000 Aeroplan Points Can Do
Aeroplan is Air Canada’s loyalty program and one of the stronger Star Alliance currencies available. The program books both Air Canada flights and partners across the Star Alliance network, including United, Lufthansa, Swiss, ANA, Singapore Airlines, and about 40 others.
At the 75,000-point level, your options are meaningful:
- North America: Round-trip economy between the U.S. and Canada starts around 15,000-20,000 points. Business class to Canada from major U.S. gateways runs 35,000-55,000 points round-trip. That leaves plenty of points for a second trip or a flight upgrade.
- Transatlantic: Economy to Europe on Air Canada or a Star Alliance partner runs roughly 45,000-60,000 points one-way. Business class one-way ranges from 75,000 to 95,000 points depending on route and carrier.
- Asia-Pacific: Aeroplan’s pricing for ANA, Singapore, or Air Canada routes to Japan and Southeast Asia is competitive. Round-trip economy starts around 55,000-70,000 points; business class starts around 85,000 points.
One feature worth noting: Aeroplan does not add fuel surcharges on most partner award bookings. That is meaningful on transatlantic and transpacific routes where some programs pass through hundreds of dollars in carrier-imposed surcharges.
The Current Stack Opportunity
Chase Ultimate Rewards points currently transfer to Aeroplan with a 20% bonus through April 30, 2026. That means 10,000 Chase points become 12,000 Aeroplan points at the current rate.
If you already hold a Chase Sapphire Preferred or Chase Sapphire Reserve, you can transfer points to Aeroplan now to benefit from the bonus. The new Aeroplan card would sit alongside those cards and earn Aeroplan points directly , while your existing Chase cards continue generating UR points for future transfers.
The two-card approach (Aeroplan card for direct earning, Sapphire card for UR transfer flexibility) gives you more ways to accumulate toward an Aeroplan redemption.
Earning Rates and Card Benefits
The card earns bonus points on Air Canada purchases, dining, and groceries, with 1 point per dollar on everything else. For current earning rates and the complete benefit list , including status credits, lounge access terms, and partner benefits , check the current terms at Chase’s Aeroplan card page. Earning rates for this card are not yet in our verified card database.
The card carries a $95 annual fee, waived in the first year. That means the 75,000-point welcome offer costs you only the $4,000 spend requirement in year one.
Who Should Look at This
This offer makes sense if you:
- Have Air Canada flights coming up in the next 12-24 months, whether direct or via a Star Alliance connection
- Want to book business class to Europe or Asia and have been building toward a redemption
- Already have Chase UR points and want to stack the 20% transfer bonus with direct Aeroplan earning before April 30
- Fly out of a hub with strong Air Canada service (Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, or a connecting city)
This card is probably not the right move if:
- You never fly internationally or on Air Canada routes , the card earns Aeroplan, which has limited domestic U.S. value
- You are optimizing for hotel stays rather than flights , Chase Ultimate Rewards has stronger hotel partners (Hyatt) than Aeroplan does
- You are working toward a specific award redemption outside the Star Alliance network
Context: The Previous Offer and What Changed
The prior offer on the Chase Aeroplan card was 60,000 Aeroplan points after $3,000 in purchases in the first 3 months. The current offer raises both the points (to 75,000) and the spend requirement (to $4,000). Whether the extra $1,000 in spend is worth an extra 15,000 points depends on your situation.
If you can hit $4,000 naturally in 3 months , on groceries, dining, utilities, and everyday purchases , the 75,000-point version is clearly the better offer. If $4,000 in 3 months would require manufactured spending or categories where you would not normally spend, the math changes.
Bottom Line
The Chase Aeroplan card’s 75,000-point offer is the best publicly available welcome bonus the card has carried. Combined with the Chase Ultimate Rewards → Aeroplan 20% transfer bonus running through April 30, this is an unusually good window for anyone building toward an Air Canada or Star Alliance redemption. No end date is published, so act on your timeline , but the combination of these two offers running simultaneously is worth noting.
