In addition to the extra 10,000 points, if you join the waiting list by November 8, you can also get an extra 10 eUpgrade certificates, which can be used to upgrade eligible cabins on Air Canada flights. To receive this extra 10,000 points + 10 eUpgrade certificates welcome bonus, you must apply by February 15 through the application link in the email.

Today, in addition to adding the ability to transfer UR points to AC, Chase also announced its co-branded credit card with Aeroplan. If you join the waiting list now, when the new card launches, you can get an extra 10,000 AC points on top of the standard welcome bonus. In practice, this mostly means signing up to receive marketing emails about the co-branded card, so if you’re interested in this card, go join now. It’s not often that we see a major bank use this kind of early marketing strategy.
