Applied for this about 11-12 days ago have not heard a peep back . Any idea how long it usually takes for a decision ?
If it were to be approved, it shouldn’t take more than a few days. Now that it has been so long, it is most likely rejected. Give them a call and say you would like to follow up with the application and inquire if there is any other things you can provide to facilitate the application process
Hello,
Upon clicking the aeroplane chase credit card I only see a 60,000 sign up bonus and not the 100,000 aeroplan points. Am I doing something wrong?
Provided I can get this card if I have a U.S. address, can I get a Canadian Aeroplan card at the same level (TD Aeroplan infinite) at the same time, or should I wait a year between applying, or neither to get both bonus offers?
The 2 cards are from 2 different countries, so it should not matter. If you would like to play it safe, spread out the applications apart by a few months should be fine
Thanks! I was thinking that Aeroplan might not like bonuses going to the same Aeroplan account within a short timeframe, even if the cards are from different countries. Another question: once you receive the 25k status through the Chase card, do you get the eUpgrades immediately?
Hi Ricky,
To maximize the 25k benefit, I guess people should apply on Jan 1 to get 2 yrs’ status, right? Also is the 3x multiplier applicable to Canadian (and overseas) purchases e.g. grocery stores,coffee shops, etc?
Indeed, Jan 1 is the most ideal date to get approved of this card for the 25k purpose. Additionally, the 3x also applied to overseas, since there’s no exclusion clause in the Terms and Conditions. Just be mindful that the 3x, from Canadian perspective, is more like 2.22x because of the currency exchange rate – 1USD=0.74CAD.
Thanks Christopher for the confirmation and reminder. Yes indeed the FX rate make the multiplier less appealing but still good to know for the MSR (better than Canadian AP cards which have 1.5x for groceries).
Not a problem at all!
Now if you are planning to have a card for grocery spending with the best multiplier in getting Aeroplan Points in Canada, then the best one would be The American Express Cobalt Card issued in Canada, as it has 5x for C$1 spend in grocery and F&B, more than double the Chase Aeroplan Card.

If you plan to spend in Costco, just be reminded that costco is not categorized as Grocery store, so it would end up less than 1x if you use the Chase card over there.
However, if you plan to use a Mastercard in Loblaw’s chain of grocery names, then you are covered with the 3x per US$1.
Hope this helps!
Hi- great article! This is an enticing offer. Any guess as to how long the current welcome bonus might last? Thanks!
does it work with PPP?
