The Aeroplan\u00ae Credit Card<\/a><\/span> (see rates and fees<\/a>) from Chase is a valuable cobranded airline credit card that offers cardholders ongoing value for a low annual fee.<\/p>\n

The card currently offers a high welcome bonus but comes with a caveat, which we’ll explore below.<\/p>\n

Before you assume that the Aeroplan card has nothing to offer if you don’t live in Canada, understand that this loyalty program can be very valuable<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Let’s analyze the current Aeroplan card welcome bonus and its value.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Aeroplan card welcome offer<\/h2>\n

The $95-per-year Aeroplan card<\/a><\/span> is offering new cardholders the opportunity to earn up to 100,000 bonus points. You can earn 75,000 bonus points after spending $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening, plus an additional 25,000 bonus points after spending $20,000 in the first 12 months from account opening.<\/p>\n

The typical offer on this card is 50,000-60,000 points, so anything from 75,000 points and above is worth considering.<\/p>\n

TPG’s September 2025 valuations<\/a> peg Aeroplan points at 1.4 cents apiece, making this welcome offer worth up to $1,400.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that this card is affected by Chase’s 5\/24 rule<\/a>, which means you will likely not be approved if you have been approved for five or more cards in the past 24 months, regardless of which issuer they’re from.<\/p>\n

If you are eligible, check out our ideas for quickly meeting a minimum spending requirement<\/a>, including prepaying insurance, rent or taxes to earn the entire welcome offer.<\/p>\n
