Aeroplan credit card transfer partners

AMEX Membership Rewards credit cards

American Express Membership Rewards points can be transferred to Air Canada Aeroplan at a 1:1 ratio meaning that every 1,000 AMEX points you transfer will give you 1,000 Aeroplan points.

American Express offers a large selection of credit cards that earns bonus points on popular category such as restaurant, supermarket, and travel. These credit cards also offer intro bonuses that push as high as 100,000 points (or more) which can be great if you're looking to earn lots of Aeroplan points.

Here are the Membership Rewards credit cards that you can use to earn Aeroplan points:

Chase Ultimate Rewards credit cards

Chase Ultimate Rewards points can be transferred to Air Canada Aeroplan at a 1:1 ratio. This means that 1,000 Chase points can be converted into 1,000 Aeroplan points.

Chase Ultimate Rewards credit cards are an excellent option for anyone who travel frequently that wants to get a high return on their spending. If you can't find great award options with Aeroplan or any of Chase's partners, Ultimate Rewards points can be redeemed for 1.25 to 1.5 cents per point for travel directly through the Chase Travel℠ portal.

Another big plus is that when you use your Chase credit card to pay for your travel you'll receive top-notch travel insurance. This includes trip cancellation, trip interruption, auto rental collision damage waiver, baggage delay, trip delay, and more. This can save you lots of money in the long run in the case that travel plans don't go as expected.

Here are the Ultimate Rewards credit cards that allow you to transfer points to Aeroplan:

Capital One miles credit cards

Capital One Venture miles and Spark miles can be transferred to Air Canada Aeroplan at a 1:1 ratio. This means that transferring 1,000 Capital One miles will give you 1,000 Aeroplan points.

Capital One Venture Rewards and Spark Rewards credit cards are perfect if you would prefer earning rewards at a flat rate across most purchases rather than worrying about trying to maximize your spend across multiple cards with different bonus categories.

On top of that, you can redeem Capital One miles for 1 cent in value towards any kind of travel booked to a Venture Rewards or Spark Rewards credit card which includes airfare, hotels, transit, parking, tolls, and more! That adds an extra layer of flexibility.

Here are the credit cards you can use to earn Capital One miles transferable to Aeroplan:

Marriott Bonvoy credit cards

Marriott Bonvoy points can be transferred to Air Canada Aeroplan at a 3:1 rate. You will also receive 5,000 bonus Aeroplan points for every 60,000-block of Marriott Bonvoy points you transfer to Aeroplan in a single transaction. This means a 60,000-Marriott Bonvoy point transfer would net you a total of 25,000 Aeroplan points.

Marriott Bonvoy credit cards are a top-notch option if you frequent Marriott brand properties. They offer up to a whopping 6X points when used at participating Marriott properties, annual free night awards, complimentary elite status, and much more.

Other credit card transfer partners

Aeroplan points can also be earned using several other hotel rewards programs. Transfers from these partners will not earn you much and you'll get significantly better value using them for free nights. I'd recommend using these partners only if you really need Aeroplan points.
