• Link: Doctor of Credit
• Ends: December 31, 2026
• What: Chase is offering some Aeroplan cardholders 10x points on gas, grocery and restaurant purchases from October 1 through December 31, 2026, on up to $1,000 in spend.
• Why it matters: If targeted, this is effectively 10,000 Aeroplan points on routine spending; Aeroplan is also a Chase UR transfer partner, so the points stack into the same program.

Hyatt promo: 3,000 bonus points for every 3 nights stayed (max 36,000)

• Source: Frequent Miler
• Link: Frequent Miler
• Ends: mid-December 2026 (see source)
• What: World of Hyatt registration is open for a global promotion awarding 3,000 bonus points for every three nights stayed, capped at 36,000 bonus points.
• Why it matters: Hyatt remains a Chase UR transfer partner (at a reduced ratio for some cards as of Oct. 1), and stacking this promo on award or cash stays boosts the value of transferred points.

Other Chase UR News

Chase cutting Hyatt transfer ratio to 4:3 for Sapphire Preferred and Ink Business Preferred

• Source: Frequent Miler
• Link: Frequent Miler
• Ends: October 1, 2026 (1:1 ratio ends)
• What: The Chase-to-World of Hyatt transfer ratio drops from 1:1 to 4:3 on October 1 for Chase Sapphire Preferred and Chase Ink Business Preferred cardholders.
• Why it matters: Transfers made before Oct. 1 preserve the 1:1 rate, so any near-term Hyatt award plans are worth funding now rather than later. (TPG and Upgraded Points covered the same change.)

• Source: Doctor of Credit
• Link: Doctor of Credit
• What: An unverified Reddit report claims Chase will add Qantas and Cathay Pacific as 1:1 Ultimate Rewards transfer partners.
• Why it matters: New partners would broaden redemption options, though this is unconfirmed and Doctor of Credit notes neither program offers many standout sweet spots.

Honorable Mentions

• Buy Marriott Bonvoy Points With up to a 55% Bonus [Until November 23] — Targeted bonus on purchased Bonvoy points through Nov. 23, 2026; Marriott is a Chase UR transfer partner, but buying is rarely worth it for most.
• JetBlue Amex Offer: Get $40 back when spending $200+ — Targeted Amex Offer on JetBlue spend; JetBlue is a Chase UR transfer partner even though the offer is Amex-side.
• Targeted Southwest promo: Get 5,000 Rapid Rewards points just for existing — Some Rapid Rewards members are receiving 5,000 points with no action required.
• Wow: A new 5% office supply store card from U.S. Bank hits the market — A competitor to the Ink Business Cash's office supply category, worth knowing if you max out that cap.
