Question 5

Can I transfer points to someone else's Aeroplan account?

Accepted Answer

No, Ultimate Rewards transfers by a primary cardmember into an authorized user's Aeroplan account or any Aeroplan account other than the primary cardmember's are invalid. You can only transfer to your own matching Aeroplan account.

Question 6

Can I make multiple transfers to maximize different bonus tiers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there's no limit on transfer frequency during the promotion. However, bonuses are calculated per individual transfer, so you can't combine smaller transfers to reach higher bonus tiers. Each transfer must meet the minimum threshold for its respective bonus level.

What are the minimum transfer requirements?

Accepted Answer

The minimum transfer is 1,000 Ultimate Rewards points, transferred in 1,000-point increments at a 1:1 ratio. For the Chase Aeroplan cardmember bonus, you need to transfer at least 50,000 points in a single transaction.

Question 8

Should I transfer points speculatively during this bonus?

Accepted Answer

No, never transfer points without specific redemption plans. While this bonus is attractive, check award availability on Aeroplan.com first and ensure you have concrete travel plans. Points cannot be transferred back to Chase once moved to Aeroplan.

Question 9

How long do Chase to Aeroplan transfers take?

Accepted Answer

Transfers typically complete within minutes to a few hours. The bonus points are awarded by Aeroplan after the transfer completes. Plan accordingly if you need points for immediate booking, though transfers are generally very fast.

What happens if my Aeroplan account is not in good standing?

Accepted Answer

You must be enrolled in the Aeroplan Program with your membership in good standing and your Ultimate Rewards credit card account open and not in default to participate. Ensure both accounts are current before attempting transfers.
