45,000 CIBC Aventura Points† 
$600 First-year value† The CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite* Card is one of the best options for earning Aventura Points, as it often comes with a high welcome bonus that’s paired with a lower minimum spending requirement and an annual fee rebate for the first year.
Bonuses and Fees
The CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite* Card is currently offering an elevated bonus of up to 45,000 Aventura Points,† structured as follows:
- 15,000 Aventura Points when you make your first purchase†
- 30,000 Aventura Points when you spend $3,000 (CAD) or more in the first 4 monthly statement periods†
The $139 annual fee is currently rebated in the first year†; otherwise, if that offer weren’t available, it can be rebated if you have a CIBC Smart Plus Chequing Account.2
Plus, you can enjoy a first-year annual fee rebate for up to three supplementary cardholders as part of the current offer, that values up $189 in savings.†
Earning Rewards
This credit card earns CIBC Aventura Points on daily spending at the following rates:
- Earn 2 Aventura Points per dollar spent on eligible travel booked through the CIBC Rewards Centre†
- Earn 1.5 Aventura Points per dollar spent on eligible gas stations, grocery stores, electric vehicle charging, and drugstore purchases†
- Earn 1 Aventura Point per dollar spent on all other eligible purchases†
Redeeming Rewards
CIBC Aventura Points can be redeemed in a variety of ways. However, the most valuable way to redeem Aventura Points is on travel purchases.
For example, you can redeem Aventura Points for eligible flights booked through the CIBC Rewards Centre at a rate of 1 cent per point.
You can also use CIBC Aventura Points towards an $800 (CAD) airline ticket in the “Canada and U.S. (Long-Haul)” category on the Aventura Flight Rewards Chart, which could increase the value of your points from 1 cent per point (cpp) to 2.28 cents per point.
Generally speaking, it’s recommended to redeem Aventura Points via the Aventura Flight Rewards Chart whenever possible, since it offers the maximum value for your points. It’s worth noting that this must be done through the CIBC Rewards Centre.
However, Aventura Points can also be useful for offsetting the cost of travel that’s otherwise difficult to book with points.
For example, Aventura Points can be used to cover the cost of eligible independent hotels, short-term rentals, car rentals, trains, or flights that can’t be booked with other airline- or hotel-specific loyalty programs.
Perks & Benefits
As the primary cardholder, you’ll enjoy four complimentary lounge visits per membership year for you and any guests, which can be used at 1,200+ lounges globally through the Visa Airport Companion Program.†
Four lounge visits per year can be useful if you don’t tend to travel very often and don’t otherwise have lounge access with another credit card.
Another unique feature is the NEXUS application fee rebate, which provides one rebate of up to $100 (CAD) every four years towards the cost of your NEXUS application.†
NEXUS is a frequent traveller program designed to speed up your travels between Canada and the United States, and you’ll receive a rebate simply by charging the application fee to your CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite* Card.
Cardholders of the CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite* Card can save up to 10¢ per litre at participating Pioneer, Fas Gas, Ultramar, and Chevron gas stations.† To benefit from this discount, you’ll need to link your card with Journie Rewards, and then make qualifying purchases at eligible gas stations.†
Insurance Coverage
The CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite* Card is a flagship travel credit card from CIBC, and therefore comes with all the key insurance policies that a frequent traveller would expect.
This includes out-of-province emergency medical insurance of up to $5,000,000, plus coverage for flight and baggage delays, trip cancellation and interruption, hotel burglary, and car rental loss or damage.†
There’s also Mobile Device Insurance† available to cardholders. By paying for your smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch using your CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite* Card, you’ll get coverage of up to $1,000 in the event your mobile device is lost, stolen, or accidentally damaged, for up to 24 months!
That can be beneficial for many people, and so the next time you’re in the market for a new mobile device, it’s worth considering using the CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite* Card to fund your purchase.
Must spend 1000$ per month for a year to get the 10 000$, so basically only getting 25k now.
The 45K offer is still live.
Where is the promotional link. Apply now just links to 35000 pts
Still showing 45K.
Hi – I got approved for the VI with 45k bonus. Since this offer appears to be over, do you think it’s still worthwhile to get the gold card for 35k?
hi – is the 45k dedicated promotional link expired? i’m only seeing offers for the 35k points in the links listed throughout. thank you!
It looks like the landing page has been changed; however, this application page still seems to show the 45,000 Aventura points.
There’s no telling how long this will last, so I’d recommend applying as soon as possible!
redemptions must be done through the CIBC Travel Rewards Centre, which is CIBC’s in-house travel agency.
can u use 50k areoplan pts and 20k aventura pts to redeem on the same booking thru the cibc travel portal? thx
Nope, they are separate programs.
