Looking for the best CIBC credit card in Canada? You’ve got this.

If earning cash back is important to you, CIBC has a number of cards under the Dividend® Visa brand that fall into this category. The most notable cash back card from this suite is the Dividend® Visa Infinite* Card: cardholders can earn 4% cash back on gas and grocery purchases, one of the highest earn rates of any credit card on the market. Plus, the $120 annual fee is waived for the first year for you and up to three authorized users. CIBC also offers a Platinum version, as well as the more basic CIBC Dividend® Visa* Card. Best of all, when you use a CIBC cash back credit card, there’s no limit on how much cash back you can earn.

CIBC has a solid roster of travel rewards cards that provide extended insurance coverage and enhanced security features, which prevents thieves from accessing your account details while you’re on the road. The CIBC Aerogold® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card features the most robust insurance package of all the CIBC-branded credit cards. Card-membership entitles you to out-of-province emergency medical, trip cancellation and other safeguards. But you’re not limited to collecting Aeroplan points when you apply for a credit card with CIBC — the Aventura program, CIBC’s signature points program, is well-represented in CIBC’s roster of cards. Collecting Aventura Points through the CIBC Aventura® Visa* Infinite* Card will grant you access to luxury travel worldwide and hotel benefits for an annual fee of $139 (which is waived for the first year for you and up to three authorized users). And CIBC’s generous welcome offers for its Aventura cards means there’s ample potential to rack up points quickly. You can check out the latest CIBC credit card offers and promotions on the CIBC website.

You’ll never have to worry about CIBC Aventura Points expiring; they won’t. So go ahead, collect points and redeem them when you’re ready. Aventura Points can be redeemed for more than just flights — you can also redeem your points for hotels, car rentals and weekend getaways.

CIBC was formed in 1961 through the merger of the Canadian Bank of Commerce and the Imperial Bank of Canada. Now the fifth largest national bank by deposits, CIBC has a reputation for being on the cutting-edge. Its track record of deploying new technologies and products into the typically risk-averse Canadian market is sizeable. Case in point: it was the first bank in Canada to introduce 24-hour ATMs. CIBC is also the only Canadian bank to form an alliance with a major grocery chain to create an entirely new bank: the partnership between CIBC and Loblaws resulted in President’s Choice Financial. CIBC has one of the most robust credit card portfolios through its partnerships with Visa and MasterCard offering you both CIBC Mastercard credit cards and CIBC Visa credit cards. CIBC does not currently offer any CIBC Amex credit cards, please visit the CIBC credit card website for more information.
