We are draining the UR pts and will rely on other currencies in various loyalty programs for travel needs if we could actually make international trips much later this year or in 2022.
Besides, the current Chase airline partners are pretty much useless because there are other Star Alliance members' programs that are far better than UA and SQ that are AMEX partners - so the Membership Reward points work much better to us than the UR pts.
IIRC late last year Chase and Aeroplan have announced that they would announce partnership in 2nd half of 2021. That was the only official press release on this topic. No any further words since. Hope this partnership would materialize.
