CIBC Aerogold Visa Infinite Card First Year Fee Waived Promotion is Back
With American Express burying itself with all sign up bonus changes, I am glad to see that there are other financial institutions that are stepping up, like CIBC. They are once again offering its first year fee waived promotion with its CIBC Aerogold Visa Infinite Card. It has been a while since we last saw this promotion (March 31, 2014).

Earn 25,000 Aeroplan Miles and First Year fee Waived with CIBC
CIBC really decided to up their game on this one. Last month, we saw the expiry of a 20,000 Aeroplan miles sign up bonus, first year fee waived. They ended that promotion by starting a newer and better one. Now, we are seeing 25,000 bonus Aeroplan miles and first year fee waived with the CIBC Aerogold Visa Card for Business.
Current Aeroplan Bonus Miles for Hotel Stays
For those who are looking to book a hotel that you do not plan to stay with very often, because you are more focused on finding the best price to suit your needs. As a result, you may not feel that it is worth the hassle to sign up for the hotel loyalty program. An alternative to this problem is to set your hotel program to earn Aeroplan miles instead of hotel points. This way, you can pool your points into Aeroplan, so that you can save for a reward flight quicker.

Travelling in the air is definitely one of the most accelerated solutions to earning enough miles to redeem for complimentary travel. Depending the type of frequent flyer program you are affiliated with, you can earn from the distance flown or amount paid for the ticket. Being an elite status member, you can earn these miles at an even impetuous speed.
