CIBC has quietly introduced a new Aeroplan affiliated credit card called the CIBC Aerogold Visa Infinite Privilege Card. It has not yet been well advertised. The highlights of the credit card are as follows:
CIBC has four great credit card promotions going on that all expire on March 31, 2014. CIBC Aerogold Visa Infinite Card, CIBC Aerogold Visa Card, CIBC Aventura Visa Infinite Card and CIBC Aventura Visa Card.
American Express recently came out with a new cash back credit card. Below is a comparison with the CIBC cash credit card. The highlights of each respect credit card are as follows:
UPDATE- The Petro-Points 6,000 points promotion mentioned below is only valid for Ontario residents only.
We previously wrote about the Esso Extra program.
Today we will focus on the Petro-Points program since there is currently a very generous promotion. Until May 12, 2014, you can get the Fuel Rewards Savings card for only 6,000 points (normally 12,000 points) and reload for only 5,500 points (normally 11,000 points). If you collect Petro-Points and looking to redeem your points, this is a great time to do so.
In a surprise move by CIBC, they are offering 20,000 Aeroplan points with first year annual fee waived on their two credit cards, the Gold and Infinite versions.
This is one of those too good to be true deals, so I’ve been trying to read through all the fine lines. For now, here are the highlights of the two cards:
CIBC decided to waived its annual fee and raise the sign up bonus. Previously, CIBC had the 30,000 sign up bonus Aventura points promotion, but no annual fee waived. Now they reduced the sign up bonus to 20,000 points, but waived the first year annual fee, which I think is the better deal.
There is a 30,000 Aventura bonus points sign up for the CIBC Aventura Visa Infinite Card that ends on December 31, 2013. If you are still thinking about getting this credit card, this is your last chance. Check out our previously written analysis on this credit card to see if it works for you.
Aeroplan signed a new deal with TD, which comes into effect on January 1st, 2014. CIBC is suppose to be able to retain their Aeroplan credit cards, but it is unclear for now long. Since we do not know how…
There are some Canadian financial institutions that issue United States currency credit cards. Here are a few examples with their highlights:
CIBC U.S. Dollar Visa Card
Until December 4, 2013, you can earn up to 10x the points if you shop online at the Air Miles Shop. Just remember to buy things that are already on sale anyway. I wouldn’t overpay for something for the sake…
