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.

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.
