When should you transfer Chase points to Air Canada?
TPG values Chase Ultimate Rewards points at 2.05 cents each and Air Canada Aeroplan points at 1.4 cents each, according to TPG’s January 2026 valuations.
So consider the value you get when you redeem Aeroplan points and compare it to the redemption rate when you use cash or book through the Chase Travel℠ portal.
To maximize your Ultimate Rewards points, here are some great ways to transfer and redeem Aeroplan points:
- Aeroplan is one of the most affordable options to book Lufthansa’s famous first-class product to Europe for just 90,000 points one-way from the East Coast to Europe, or 100,000 points one-way from the West Coast to Europe, plus a minimum tax of about $50 to $70. Seats are limited, however, as Lufthansa does not open first class award seats to partner programs until at least 14 days before departure.
- Taking Singapore Airlines’ fifth freedom route from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Frankfurt Airport (FRA) in Germany, flying in business class only costs 60,000 Aeroplan points, plus about $57 in taxes and fees.
- A little-known but valuable Aeroplan perk is that for just 5,000 extra points, you can add a stopover on the way to your destination. For round-trip redemptions, you can add one stopover on your outbound flight and another stopover on your return flight for 5,000 Aeroplan Points each time.
- If you need to book a last-minute domestic flight on United during a popular holiday period, it may be cheaper to redeem Aeroplan points than United MileagePlus miles.

bottom line
Transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Air Canada Aeroplan at a 1:1 ratio is simple and often instant, helping you maximize your rewards, especially when booking premium class flights to Europe.
Before transferring points, it’s a good idea to check the availability of rewards. Also, we recommend comparing the cash price to booking through a transfer partner, as it may be more profitable to save points to redeem again rather than transfer.
