Chase Sapphire Reserve® cardholders, listen up. Air Canada Aeroplan is offering you a flight credit worth 5,000 Aeroplan points just for holding the card (see rates and fees).

All you have to do is register here. This promotion applies only to the primary cardmember, not any authorized users.

How to get a 5,000-point Aeroplan reward certificate with your Chase Sapphire Reserve

After entering your name, your Aeroplan loyalty number and the last four digits of your Chase Sapphire Reserve, you’ll earn a 5,000-point Aeroplan flight certificate. That means you can save 5,000 points on your next Aeroplan redemption (though you’ll still have to pay taxes and fees).

You have until Aug. 18 to register for this promotion, and your 5,000-point flight credit will be valid for 365 days after the day it’s deposited into your account. It will only be valid for new bookings, not existing ones, and the value may not be split between multiple passengers.

Likewise, you cannot transfer your certificate to another Aeroplan account. However, you can put it toward the cost of a flight reward you book for another traveler using your own Aeroplan points for another traveler.

On the plus side, there do not seem to be any restrictions about using this reward certificate toward flights only on Air Canada, so it should apply to partner awards as well.

If you use this credit toward an award that costs more than 5,000 Aeroplan points, you can redeem additional points from your Aeroplan account to cover the overage. If you change or cancel your award ticket according to the rules under which you booked it, the certificate can be reinstated to your account with its original expiration date.

Topping up your Aeroplan account

The good news is that you can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Aeroplan (as well as from many other transfer partners) at a 1:1 ratio and redeem them for award flights.

For example, one of our favorite ways to redeem Aeroplan points is for short-haul economy flights less than 500 miles on United Airlines and Air Canada, which can cost as few as 6,000 points — but with this 5,000-point flight certificate, you’d only need 1,000 additional points from your account.

If you don’t yet have the Chase Sapphire Reserve, it’s not too late to apply for the current welcome offer: earn 100,000 bonus points plus a $500 Chase Travel℠ promo credit after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. This is the best offer we’ve seen on this perennial favorite travel card.

If you hold the Chase Sapphire Reserve (or add it to your wallet by Aug. 18), be sure to register for this promotion. Then you’ll have a whole year to redeem your 5,000-point Aeroplan flight credit.

Five thousand Aeroplan points are worth $70 by our August 2025 valuations, and are also enough for you to add a stopover to an Aeroplan award ticket, so having this certificate in your back pocket can save you money and help you maximize a future trip.

We’ve seen several fun promotions recently for earning lots of miles and even sometimes elite status after accomplishing interesting challenges.

For example, a few days ago, we wrote about how you can earn up to 350,000 JetBlue TrueBlue points and Mosaic elite status for 25 years if you fly to 25 JetBlue destinations. Now, Turkish Miles&Smiles is entering the scene with its own promotion.

The terms and conditions make it sound easy at face value: Travel to six continents with Turkish Airlines and win one million miles.

But the devil is in the details. So, here’s a summary of what you should know before diving headfirst into this promotion:

  • You must book and fly between June 27 and Oct. 27, 2025
  • Eligible flights must originate from or transit through Istanbul
  • Only scheduled flights operated by Turkish Airlines count
  • The countries included in each continent are defined in a chart on this page
  • Your frequent-flyer account for each flight must be set as Miles&Smiles before travel (so you can’t enjoy benefits from another Star Alliance status and then credit your flight to Turkish)
  • Only arrival destinations count toward completing the required continents (so New York–Istanbul–Tokyo counts only as Asia, but New York–Istanbul–Tokyo–Istanbul–New York counts as both Asia and North America)
  • Award tickets, corporate agreement tickets, group tickets, staff tickets and special passenger segment tickets (such as seafarer, medical and student fares) aren’t eligible for this promotion
  • Tickets purchased with a promo code aren’t eligible for this promotion
  • You must book through an authorized travel agency or the Turkish Airlines website, mobile app or sales offices

If you successfully visit six continents as defined by the rules of this promotion, Turkish will deposit the miles into your account between Nov. 1 and 15.

That’s a lot of flying to rack up one million miles (and probably a lot more along the way). However, as TPG credit card writer Danyal Ahmed quickly noted, “At the saver level, this is 15 one-way business-class tickets between North America and Istanbul.” So if you think about it in those terms, you could walk away from this promo with a lot of potentially valuable award travel as your prize.

I am personally tempted by this promotion, especially since I travel as a digital nomad and have a lot of open space in my travel schedule later this year. Istanbul is also one of my favorite cities, so I don’t mind originating from the city for several trips if needed. However, it would be a bummer not to be able to use my Star Alliance Gold benefits that I’ve earned as an Asiana Diamond member, since I’d need to attach my Turkish Miles&Smiles number instead of my Asiana number to the flights for this promotion.

As someone who once took 18 flights in 16 days as part of a promotion that got me Oneworld Sapphire status for over two years, let me offer some advice if you’re considering this promotion: Read and fully understand the promotion’s terms and conditions before you plan and book your flights. One small misunderstanding or mistake could mean you spent a lot of money trying to achieve this promotion without reaping the reward.
