According to reader Chris earlier today the Chase Aeroplan waitlist showed details of the new Chase Aeroplan card. They were as follows:
- Enjoy two Welcome Flight Rewards worth up to 100,000 points.
- Earn two Flight Reward Certificates valued at up to 50,000 Aeroplan points each, when you spend $4,000 in the first three months of account opening! Certificate can be used for partial payment (e.g a flight costing 65,000 miles you can use the certificate + 15,000 miles)
- Card earns at the following rates:
- 3x grocery and dining including delivery services and with air Canada directly.
- 1x on all other purchases.
- 500 point bonus every 2k spend up to 1500 a month.
- Aeroplan 25k status for the remainder of this year and next after that 15k spend per year to maintain the status.
- Free 1st checked bag up to 8 companions on air Canada.
- No annual fee details were shown
The sign up bonus is interesting, doesn’t look like it’s flat miles but two certificates good up to 50,000 points. The earning structure is also very interesting due to the 3x on grocery, you also get the extra 500 points for every $2,000 in spend as well. I have no idea how reliable this is as I didn’t see the page showing these myself Seems reliable based on the screenshots sent. I can’t see 3x grocery being sustainable long term. Remember you can get 10,000 bonus points and some upgrade certificates when you join the waitlist.
