About the CIBC Air Canada AConversion Card Visa Prepaid Card

CIBC is offering something called the Air Canada AConversion Visa Prepaid Card. A prepaid card is a card where you can use your credit card to pre-load the card with a specific amount of funds to be used at a later date. You can use this like a credit card (wherever accepted). The main difference between is that instead of a credit limit, where you use the limit first, and then pay off the balance when it is due, you have to preload the card with money, and you can only use what is loaded into the card. There is no credit limit.

This has been a frequently asked questions, which I have answered before, but I thought I’d give an update.

The short answer is yes, so long as you opened your Aventura Rewards account prior to October 1, 2013.
