The good thing about Aeroplan points is that you can quickly (and easily) transfer them from Amex Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Capital One Miles, and Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Air Canada Aeroplan at a 1:1 rate. You can even transfer from Marriott Bonvoy at a 3:1 ratio if you are in a pinch.

Hot Tip:

Our free transfer partner calculator is an excellent tool for discovering where you can use your points and miles.

Final Thoughts

Jetting off to Switzerland in business class is a dream for many. And with 60,000-point flights, we can help make that dream a reality!
