Hey AwardTrailblazers! Got Aeroplan points burning a hole in your virtual pocket? Chase's "Pay Yourself Back" feature is here to potentially give them a serious value boost! Basically, this perk lets you redeem your Aeroplan points to offset certain purchases you've already made on your Aeroplan credit card.
What's the big deal? Well, through "Pay Yourself Back," you can snag up to 1.25 cents per point. This is a fantastic way to use points on purchases other than flights and hotels. Keep an eye on which categories qualify for this redemption rate, as it's not everything. It's definitely worth checking if you've got some points you're not sure how to use for travel.
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
