Aeroplan, NFCU and Hyatt Benefit Updates to Check Today
Chase Aeroplan, Navy Federal Flagship and Hyatt partner benefits all have September 2026 updates worth checking before you change a tracker or renewal decision.
TL;DR
The September 10 card-benefit recheck list is Chase Air Canada Aeroplan, Navy Federal Flagship Premier, and the Hyatt loyalty-partner transition from American Airlines to Delta.
- Chase Air Canada Aeroplan reports point to a $195 annual fee, automatic annual 25K status, up to $100 in Air Canada credits, and a 15% Air Canada award discount, but readers should verify the final Chase or Air Canada terms before changing tracker values.
- Navy Federal now publicly promotes Flagship Premier Visa Signature with 4x travel, a $100 annual flight credit, and up to $120 for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck.
- Hyatt and American Airlines officially say their enhanced relationship is winding down, with November 15, 2026 as the key account-linking deadline.
- Hyatt also announced a Delta SkyMiles collaboration, but enrollment, eligibility, launch timing, and earning details are still pending.
What changed
Three card-benefit and loyalty-program items are worth a September 10 recheck. The most card-specific item is the reported Chase Air Canada Aeroplan refresh: credible points-and-miles coverage says the card now has a higher $195 annual fee, automatic annual Aeroplan 25K status, up to $100 in Air Canada statement credits, a 15% discount on eligible Air Canada award redemptions, and earning-rate changes.
The cleaner official card page today is Navy Federal's Flagship Premier Visa Signature page. Navy Federal promotes 4x points on travel, a $100 annual flight credit, up to $120 for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck, and a GigSky 3GB international data benefit. Reports about existing Flagship Rewards cardholders seeing a $95 annual fee notice are useful, but Perkmon would still treat the old-card change as account-notice evidence until a public Navy Federal notice is easy to verify.
The loyalty-program item is official: Hyatt and American Airlines are winding down their enhanced relationship, while Hyatt and Delta have announced a new collaboration. This is not a direct issuer statement-credit change, but it can affect how cardholders value World of Hyatt, AAdvantage, Delta SkyMiles, and related travel-card setups.
Key details to check
| Category | What is visible now | What to do before acting |
|---|---|---|
| Chase Air Canada Aeroplan | TPG and Upgraded Points report a $195 fee, annual 25K status, up to $100 in Air Canada credits, 15% off eligible Air Canada award redemptions, 3x travel, 2x gas, and dining/grocery moving to 2x on January 1, 2027. | Verify the current Chase or Air Canada terms before updating a tracker. If the $100 credit is split into $50 half-year credits, track January-June and July-December separately. |
| Navy Federal Flagship | Navy Federal publicly promotes Flagship Premier with 4x travel, a $100 annual flight credit, up to $120 for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck, GigSky 3GB data, and no-application switching from Flagship Rewards. | Use the Premier page for new-card tracking. For existing Flagship Rewards fee or Amazon Prime changes, keep a watch note until public terms or an account notice is available. |
| Hyatt, American and Delta | Hyatt says AAdvantage and World of Hyatt members linked by 11:59:59 p.m. CT on November 15, 2026 can keep earning eligible cross-program awards through the current earning year; Delta collaboration details arrive later. | Link AA and Hyatt accounts before the deadline if you still use those benefits, and wait for Hyatt/Delta eligibility rules before changing card-value assumptions. |
Treat the three items differently. Some details are official and ready for a tracker note; others are credible reports that still need current issuer or partner terms before you assign a dollar value.
Who should care
The Aeroplan item matters most if you keep the Chase card for Air Canada travel, Aeroplan redemptions, checked bags, or elite-status shortcuts. A $100 higher annual fee can be offset only if you actually use the new Air Canada-specific credits, status, or award discount.
The Navy Federal item matters if you hold or were considering Flagship Rewards, or if you qualify for Navy Federal membership and want a simple travel card. The Hyatt item matters if you use linked AA/Hyatt benefits, chase AAdvantage Loyalty Point Rewards, or plan to value future Hyatt and Delta dual-earning benefits.
What to do next
Use this as a recheck list, not an automatic value increase.
- For Chase Aeroplan, wait for the current Chase or Air Canada terms before changing annual-fee, credit, or earn-rate rows.
- If the Aeroplan $100 credit is confirmed as two $50 credits, track it by half-year period instead of one annual checkbox.
- For Navy Federal, separate the public Flagship Premier benefits from reported existing Flagship Rewards account notices.
- If you use AA and Hyatt together, link accounts by November 15, 2026 and record the different 2026 and 2027 earning-year cutoffs.
- For Hyatt and Delta, do not assign a dollar value until launch timing, eligibility, enrollment, and earn rates are published.
