- Source: Doctor of Credit
- 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.

- 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.

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.
