Chase Aeroplan Card Changes in 2026 — Goodbye Level Up, Hello Milestone Benefits

If you are a cardholder of the Aeroplan Card from Chase, your benefits are changing in 2026. The Level Up benefit, which allowed you to upgrade to one tier higher of elite status after spending $50,000 on your card in a calendar year, is getting removed. In its place is the opportunity to earn up to 25,000 Status Qualifying Credits and Aeroplan 35K Status after spending $75,000 in a calendar year.

You Can Now Use Your Alaska Airlines Companion Fare on Hawaiian Airlines

Alaska’s "Famous Companion Fare" is famous for a reason. This lucrative benefit allows eligible Mileage Plan credit cardholders to purchase a round-trip ticket for a companion for $99 (plus taxes and fees) anywhere Alaska Airlines flies within North America. Traditionally, it’s only been valid on Alaska-operated flights, but now you can take it even further on Hawaiian Airlines.
