The Offer
- Chase is offering Aeroplan cardholders 10x points per $1 spent on up to $1,500 in qualifying international purchases from 07/01/2022 to 09/30/2022
The Fine Print
- That’s an additional 7 points on top of the 3 points you already earn on dining at restaurants, grocery stores, and purchases made directly with Air Canada and an additional 9 points on top of the 1 point you already earn on all other purchases.
Our Verdict
Not entirely clear if this available to all Chase Aeroplan cardholders or only selected cardholders. It’s a great deal if eligible and the cap isn’t too bad either.
Hat tip to FM
Didn’t get this but got an email for 5x grocery
So, if you buy something on a non-US website, would that count as international?
here’s part of the T&C directly from the e-mail.
Qualifying international purchases include purchases made at merchants located outside the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and United States military installations. Merchants who accept Mastercard credit cards are assigned a merchant location determined by the merchant or its processor in accordance with Mastercard procedures. Chase does not determine whether a merchant has been assigned a qualifying location. Certain purchases made with a merchant that appears to be in a qualifying international location, including purchases made online and for some kinds of travel, may not qualify if the merchant has been assigned a different location with Mastercard. Purchases made through third‑party payment accounts, or digital wallets (like Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal), or through third parties are excluded from this offer.
This will get me halfway to the 30K points I need to retain Air Canada status through credit card spend this year.
I wonder if I can just order coins from the Canadian mint and get the 10x to trigger.
Unfortunately the bonus in this offer doesn’t qualify.
Ooooh. Nice thought.
Also, you don’t need to make that spend if you got the card this year. It came with 2 years of status. The year you got the card and the following year.
