CIBC Aventura® Credit Card Offers: Up to 80,000 Aventura Points

CIBC has great offers available on its family of Aventura credit cards.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s currently on offer, keeping in mind that there’s not an expiry date listed and the offers could change at any time.

CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite* Card: Up to 45,000 Aventura Points†

CIBC’s core in-house rewards product, the CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite* Card, is presently offering up to 45,000 Aventura Points† and an annual fee rebate for the first year.†

The welcome bonus is structured as follows:

• 15,000 Aventura Points upon first purchase†
• 30,000 Aventura Points upon spending $3,000 in the the first four months†

This latest offer is amongst the stronger offers CIBC has put forward on the CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite* Card over the last couple of years.

Plus, with a very reasonable minimum spending requirement and a first-year annual fee rebate,† this offer is certainly worth your attention if you’re eligible for the welcome bonus.

When it comes to daily spending, the card awards modest rewards on everyday purchases:

• Earn 2 Aventura Points per dollar spent on travel booked via the CIBC Travel Rewards Centre†
• Earn 1.5 Aventura Points per dollar spent on gas, groceries, electric vehicle charging, and drugstore purchases†
• Earn 1 Aventura Point per dollar spent on all other purchases†

As a cardholder, you’ll also get a DragonPass membership with four lounge passes for you and your guests, as well as a NEXUS application fee rebate.†

Applicants must have at least $60,000 in annual personal income, or $100,000 in annual household income to be eligible.

CIBC Aventura® Gold Visa* Card: Up to 45,000 Aventura Points†

If you don’t meet the income threshold for the CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite* Card, you could instead apply for the CIBC Aventura® Gold Visa* Card as long as your household income is over $15,000, with an equivalent welcome offer.

With the current offer, you’ll enjoy a first-year annual fee rebate† for the primary cardholder and up to three supplementary cardholders, a savings of up to $189.†

The welcome bonus has the same structure as on the CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite* Card:

• 15,000 Aventura Points upon first purchase†
• 30,000 Aventura Points upon spending $3,000 in the the first four months†

The CIBC Aventura® Gold Visa* Card also has the same earning rates as the CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite* Card:

• Earn 2 Aventura Points per dollar spent on travel booked via the CIBC Travel Rewards Centre†
• Earn 1.5 Aventura Points per dollar spent on gas, groceries, electric vehicle charging, and drugstore purchases†
• Earn 1 Aventura Point per dollar spent on all other purchases†

Plus, you’ll also benefit from four complimentary lounge visits with a DragonPass membership and a NEXUS application fee rebate.†

Aside from the lower minimum income requirement, the only other way the CIBC Aventura® Gold Visa* Card differs from its Visa Infinite counterpart through the insurance offered.

Whereas the CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite* Card offers three days emergency medical insurance for cardholders aged 65 or older, as well as trip cancellation/interruption insurance,† the CIBC Aventura® Gold Visa* Card does not.

However, you’ll still enjoy a relatively strong set of insurance, including mobile device protection, baggage and flight delay coverage, and more.†

CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card: Up to 80,000 Aventura Points†

The premium variant of the Aventura family, the CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card, has a welcome bonus of up to 80,000 Aventura Points, distributed as follows:

• 25,000 Aventura Points upon spending $3,000 in the first four months as a cardholder†
• 25,000 Aventura Points upon spending $6,000 in the first four months as a cardholder†
• 30,000 Aventura Points upon renewing for a second year†

In other words, spend $6,000 in the first four months, and get $500 worth of Aventura Points, and then enjoy another boost of $300 worth of Aventura Points upon renewing for a second year.†

Plus, if you redeem Aventura Points for maximum value with the CIBC Airline Rewards Chart, you can boost the value even further.

The regular earning rates on the Visa Infinite Privilege card are more generous than its lower-tier counterparts:

• Earn 3 Aventura Points per dollar spent on travel booked via the CIBC Rewards Travel Centre
• Earn 2 Aventura Points per dollar spent on dining, entertainment, transportation, gas, and groceries
• Earn 1.25 Aventura Points per dollar spent on all other purchases

The card comes with an annual fee of $499. Luckily, it can be reduced by $139 if you have a CIBC Smart Plus Chequing Account. It can also be partially offset by the card’s $200 annual travel credit, bookable by phone with the CIBC Rewards Travel Centre.

By maximizing these two rebates, you can reduce the net effective annual fee to $160.

The CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card comes with the same travel benefits as the Visa Infinite card, but stronger: six DragonPass lounge visits per year instead of four, and even stronger insurance coverage.

You’ll also have access to the Visa Infinite Privilege Concierge service, which is useful for booking exclusive experiences, such as dining reservations or event tickets, as well as travel arrangements.

Upon renewing the card for a second year, you’ll be given 30,000 Aventura Points, which are worth $300 if redeemed for 1 cent per point. Combined with the $200 annual travel credit, you’ll effectively get to keep this card for a second year and continue enjoying its Visa Infinite Privilege perks for no fee, if you so choose.

You must have at least $200,000 in annual household income to apply for any Visa Infinite Privilege card.
