Chase
Aeroplan
What it is
The Aeroplan is a Chase card earning Aeroplan. It's mainly a sign-up-bonus play: earn the bonus, then keep or close. Air Canada's cobrand — most useful for the automatic Aeroplan status and Star Alliance award access. A niche pickup unless you value Aeroplan miles.
Offer history
Value is the welcome bonus at your valuations. The Year 1 total also counts recurring benefits and subtracts the annual fee. Spend / mo (the dashed line, right axis) is the monthly pace to clear the minimum spend in time — shown on every view so the spend stays in context.
