Instant Transfers as well as solid transfer partners. The value would go up if they had any hotel partners with a fair exchange rate. ANA (an exception to instant transfers), Virgin, Air Canada and Avianca are top airline partners for maximizing your points. They can also transfer to Delta if you wish and while the rates aren't ideal, they can transfer to Marriott and Hilton as well. ANA provides almost unbeatable value for booking a Round the World flight all in Business Class. The stated value also assumes you will take advantage of transfer partners rather than book via their booking portal, where they are only worth between 1 and 1.5 cents. We've also created a Guide to American Express Membership Rewards.

Get 20% bonus Aeroplan® points when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards® points between 12:00 AM ET on April 1, 2026 and 11:59 PM ET on April 30, 2026. Bonus Aeroplan points will be awarded by Aeroplan in your Aeroplan account after your transfer is complete. Promotional offer terms and conditions apply. This bonus, unlike the last one, is not tiered by transfer size. That one ranged from 15% – 25% depending on how much you moved over.
Chase Aeroplan cardmembers get an additional 10% bonus – must transfer at least 50,000 points; max bonus from being a cardmember is 25,000 points per year) – which would make this a 30% bonus.
I suggest reviewing historical transfer bonuses from Chase and American Express to Air Canada Aeroplan as you might find that bonuses are more common than you think. 20% is the “standard” offer we see the most, though Chase did offer a flat 30% in late 2022. I’m not counting a one-off Bilt Rewards transfer bonus that went as high as 150% since that is unlikely to repeat.
Aeroplan sweet spots: No fuel surcharges; just a $39CAD booking fee. Lap infant just $25CAD. Can book Star Alliance flights as well as partners like Etihad and Emirates. Add a stopover for just 5,000 miles! Award pricing is not necessarily the best there is, but is consistently fair.
A business class award on a partner (not on Air Canada metal as that is dynamically priced) from the East Coast to Europe would be 70,000 points (as an example), which would be 56,000 Chase points with this promotion.
There have been five transfer bonuses from Chase to IHG One Rewards in 2025 early 2026. One was 100%, two were 80%, and two were 70%. This bonus is on the lowest end of the range.
We value IHG Rewards points at 0.4 cents and Chase Ultimate Rewards at 1.75 cents, so this is far from a slam dunk and we’d advise to only transfer if you’ve already found a great redemption.
You also may be looking to “top up” an existing IHG Rewards balance for a reward stay and this would be an opportune time.
But as a general rule, we find that one Chase Ultimate Rewards point is at least 4 times more valuable than IHG Rewards points, so, again, do your homework before transferring and make sure you have a deal lined up – ideally using the 4th night free benefit from a co-branded credit card.
Transfers take less than a day (most likely less than a few hours, but not instant), although note that IHG is adding the bonus on their side so their could be a delay.
Through 9/30/27
Earn 8X only when booked via Chase Travel; otherwise this card earns 4X on airfare booked directly. Any other booking channel earns 1X.

The Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Preferred, Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business, and Ink Preferred all have the ability to transfer to airline and hotel partners. We use an average value that you can expect to get by utilizing your points for these transfer partners. In the Chase Travel℠ portal, Points Boost allows you to redeem for airfare or hotels with point values ranging from 1.5 - 2 cents depending on cabin class or hotel. Specific flights and hotels that appear in Point Boost vary. If you do not have at least one of these cards, Ultimate Rewards are worth exactly 1 cent per point. You can also read our Guide to Chase Ultimate Rewards points.

150,000 Miles once you spend $30,000 in the first 3 months from account opening
Until April 30, 2026, 1,000 Capital One Miles gets you 975 JAL miles with this 30% transfer bonus. Usually, 1,000 Capital One Miles will get you just 750 JAL miles.
Capital One just added JAL Mileage Bank as a partner last September. The transfer ratio is sub-optimal at 2:1.5, but with this offer it is *almost* to 1:1. This is now their third transfer bonus in that time, making me think that they aren’t getting a lot of uptake on the transfers at 2:1.5. Keep in mind that you can transfer 1:1 to JAL from both Bilt Rewards and from Rove Miles (if you are new and use this link, you’ll get 1,500 Rove Miles just for signing up).
We have a full guide to JAL Mileage Bank. Unfortunately the JetBlue partnership ended yesterday and that was a great one. In almost all cases, you will save substantially when booking a round trip on JAL partners / oneworld.
Importantly, you cannot transfer points into JAL Mileage Bank until your Mileage Bank account has been active for 7 days, so create that account right away whether you have a transfer in mind today or not.
Transfers should be instant.
JAL does offer a Round The World award (appealing now that ANA’s RTW is no more), but note that JAL miles “hard expire” 36 months from the date you earn them.
Need more Capital One Miles? We have 5 cards that earn Capital One Miles here.
Remember that with Capital One cards that earn cash back, you can convert the cash back into transferable miles as long as you have any of the Miles-earning cards.
5X only applies to bookings made via Capital One Business Travel; Earn 2X otherwise.
10X only applies to bookings made via Capital One Business Travel; Earn 2X otherwise.
10X only applies to bookings made via Capital One Business Travel; Earn 2X otherwise.
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.

While Marriott Bonvoy dropped all award charts in favor of a dynamic pricing system, it hasn't gotten out of hand and the 5th night free on awards can still provide outsized value. It's also hard to beat the breadth of Marriott Bonvoy properties all over the world. That said, the prices have gone up and up again, and the ever increasing resort fees are not waived on Bonvoy award nights, which does draw the point value down.

4X applies only at Hyatt family hotels booked directly. 1X on other hotels.
Hyatt award rates range from 3,500 to 45,000 points per night at their regular hotels and resorts. At all-inclusive resorts and Miraval, the prices can reach as high as 58,000 points per night, Almost without fail, during even remotely peak times, we can find roughly 2 cents per point in value. You can even book Suites for incrementally more points (Premium Suite costs twice as much as a room, for example). I tend to find these are one of the best ways to spend Chase Ultimate Rewards points which transfer 1:1. They are the only major hotel program in the US with fixed award charts making it a great program to be able to set goals for your redemptions..
