☝ Increased Offer
Earn 200,000 bonus points after you spend $30,000 on purchases in your first 6 months from account opening and with more than $2,500 in annual value, there's no competition.
This is a sort of odd one in my opinion… the bonus is 65% until June 30. Starting July 1 through August 15, the bonus drops to 50%.
Get 65% bonus Marriott Bonvoy points when you transfer Ultimate Rewards points between 12:00 AM ET on June 15, 2025 and 11:59 PM ET on June 30, 2025. When the early bird offer ends, get 50% bonus Marriott Bonvoy points when you transfer Ultimate Rewards points between 12:00 AM ET on July 1, 2025 and 11:59 PM ET on August 15, 2025. Bonus points will be awarded by Marriott Bonvoy in your Marriott Bonvoy account up to 7 days after your transfer is complete.
Here is a link to historical transfer bonuses to Marriott Bonvoy.
And here is a link to historical transfer bonuses specifically from Chase Ultimate Rewards to Marriott Bonvoy. We did see 70% last summer, but other than that 65% is pretty much h as high as it gets while the second tier 50% offer is average.
That said, this is almost never a good transfer unless you are topping off for an award you are ready to book. Keep in mind that we value a Chase point at roughly 3X the value of a Marriott Bonvoy point.
However, there are always exceptions and you might find a 5 night stay (5th night free) where the transfer makes sense so do the math – but you likely do not want to transfer speculatively unless you are a Bonvoy pro and believe you will exceed value you can get via other Ultimate Rewards partners.
Get 20% Bonus Aeroplan® points when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards®points between 12:00 AM ET on June 5, 2025 and 11:59 PM ET on July 17, 2025. Bonus points will be awarded by Aeroplan in your Aeroplan account after your transfer is complete. Promotional offer terms and conditions apply.
Note that if you have the Aeroplan® Credit Card you can get up to 30% bonus Aeroplan points (20% from the limited time offer and an extra 10% for being a Cardmember). To get the additional 10% bonus, Chase Aeroplan Cardmembers need to transfer a minimum of 50,000 points or more from Chase Ultimate Rewards® to Aeroplan, up to a maximum of 25,000 bonus Aeroplan points per calendar year. Bonus points will be awarded by Aeroplan in your Aeroplan account after your transfer is complete.
Here is a list of historical transfer bonuses to Aeroplan. They are generally from 20-30%, but the last few have been 20%.
Aeroplan sweet spots: No fuel surcharges; just a $39CAD booking fee. Lap infant just $25CAD. Can book Etihad and Emirates (although Emirates F is priced at unbookable price levels) as well as Star Alliance flights. Add a stopover for just 5,000 miles!

- With a $300 annual travel credit and 10,000 miles (worth $100) each year at renewal, the credits you receive are actually worth more than the annual fee.
- Free authorized user cards
- No Preset Spending Limit; Earns Capital One Miles
Pros
- The annual fee is more than covered by annual credits
- Comes with access to Capital One lounges and Priority Pass lounges
- No Preset Spending Limit
Cons
- The annual fee, while effectively negative $5 after credits, can feel like a lot.
- Aside from bonus points for booking through Capital One travel, there are no bonus categories. Still, all eligible purchases do earn 2X miles per dollar spent which is great.
- Points don't transfer to any domestic airlines, although you can use other partners to book domestic award tickets on domestic airlines.
It's worth noting that some Capital One cards earn 2 miles per dollar on everything, making the 1.6 cent per mile value an understatement as you'd be earning a 3.2% yield on every day spend. However, this assumes you will learn how to utilize the Capital One airline and hotel transfer partners, most of which transfer 1:1. The minimum value is 1 cent when used to book travel in their portal or to cover previously paid for travel, however, our calculator assumes you will use Capital One's air and hotel transfer partners when calculating a 1.6 cent per point value. We also have a Guide to Capital One Miles.

They have a similar network to AA in terms of reach via the Star Alliance and also (unlike Delta) allow for booking First Class international awards in the Star Alliance network, but they charge noticeably more for Partner Awards and the rates keep (stealthily) rising. United partner Lufthansa tends to have good availability to Europe making it somewhat easier to use to Europe than American, which relies heavily on British Airways and BA charges incredibly steep surcharges on those awards.

- With a $300 annual travel credit and 10,000 miles (worth $100) each year at renewal, the credits you receive are actually worth more than the annual fee.
- Free authorized user cards
- Capital One Miles are extremely flexible, with the option to redeem for travel at a value of one cent per point, or transfer to a wide range of excellent air and hotel partners.
Pros
- The annual fee is more than covered by annual credits
- Comes with access to Capital One lounges and Priority Pass lounges
- Free authorized users also get the upgraded Hertz status like the primary card holder
Cons
- The annual fee, while effectively negative $5 after credits, can feel like a lot.
- Aside from bonus points for booking through Capital One travel, there are no bonus categories. Still, all eligible purchases do earn 2X miles per dollar spent which is great.
- Points don't transfer to any domestic airlines, although you can use other partners to book domestic award tickets on domestic airlines.
It's worth noting that some Capital One cards earn 2 miles per dollar on everything, making the 1.6 cent per mile value an understatement as you'd be earning a 3.2% yield on every day spend. However, this assumes you will learn how to utilize the Capital One airline and hotel transfer partners, most of which transfer 1:1. The minimum value is 1 cent when used to book travel in their portal or to cover previously paid for travel, however, our calculator assumes you will use Capital One's air and hotel transfer partners when calculating a 1.6 cent per point value. We also have a Guide to Capital One Miles.
