[.dontreco] We don't recommend: Redeeming for gift cards or merch [.dontreco]

You can use your points for gift cards or "stuff" but you'll rarely get more than one cent per point. So, flights are pretty much always the move.

[.sometimesreco] We sometimes recommend: Using Pay Yourself Back [.sometimesreco]

Aeroplan's Pay Yourself Back tool lets you wipe travel, dining, or grocery purchases (even your annual fee) from your statement. It's flexible, but it's generally less valuable than booking flights outright.

[.alwaysreco] We always recommend: Using Aeroplan points for flights [.alwaysreco]

Aeroplan has a crazy good selection of partners. Whether you're flying Lufthansa first class over to Europe or just flying Air Canada more locally, Aeroplan points have some serious sweet spots. Dynamic pricing is something to be aware of, but you can still snag cheap seats for fewer points than you'd think.

1. The International Traveler

If you're idea of a good time involves flights to Japan, Paris, Cape Town, and so on, this card if a great option for you. Aeroplan points can unlock some serious flights with over 45 partners like United, Singapore, and Lufthansa (to name a few). And with no foreign transaction fees, you can swipe on your trips worry-free.

2. The Foodie

My grocery bill only seems to climb these days. But honestly? I eat out a ton, too. 🫠 If you spend big on groceries and dining, the Aeroplan card will pay you back well (in points). Plus, you're looking at an extra 500 bonus points for every $2,000 you spend in a month, so that everyday spending racks up rewards quickly.

3. Families and Group Travelers

Taking the whole crew on a trip? Air Canada flights become way more affordable with this card if your wallet. You and up to eight people on the same reservation will get a free first checked bag, which is a nice little perk. And, with automatic Aeroplan 25k status, you'll be first in line for upgrades and priority check-in.

If you don't have solid credit or you're unlikely to fly Star Alliance or Air Canada, you might not see great value here. And, if you can't commit to paying off your statement in full, we'd recommend skipping travel cards altogether. With great miles and points fun comes great responsibility!

The recommended credit score for the Aeroplan Card is good to excellent. But again, if you’re in a solid place with your credit and feel you are ready for a new card, don’t let the fear of being rejected keep you from applying. It's common to be rejected on your first application. Not to worry — just call Chase and plead your case. It's always worth a shot!
