Chase Aeroplan Card 85K welcome offer

There’s a new, 85K offer out on the Chase Aeroplan Card with a very reasonable minimum spend: $4,000 over the first three months. This is 10K better than the standard public offer. This could be appealing to folks looking for Aeroplan points and to those who want to earn Air Canada elite status.

Quick Thoughts

At first glance, this offer might not look terribly strong, given that you can transfer to Aeroplan from all of the major transferable currencies. If you’re after 85,000 Aeroplan points, there are a multitude of ways to get there.

On the other hand, the Aeroplan card certainly has some appeal. The card earns 3x at grocery stores and on dining, plus an additional 500 points after each $2K spend up to $6K per month, so it certainly isn’t an unreasonable card to use for those categories. With $15K spend in a calendar year, you get 25K status.

Additionally, Chase Aeroplan cardholders can currently redeem Aeroplan points to “pay yourself back” for travel purchases at 1.25c per point, up to a maximum of 200,000 points per year. That could certainly have appeal for some and make the bonus categories even more appealing.

However, as noted above, there are lots of other ways to earn Aeroplan points, so unless the card itself has some appeal, it may be worth keeping an eye out for better offers with transferable points from Chase, Amex, or Capital One.
