The elevated 60,000 Aventura Points welcome offer on the CIBC Aventura Visa Infinite has quietly ended. If you were considering this card, here’s what’s still available and how to maximize it.

Current Offers Available

Source Welcome Bonus Value
Direct via CIBC Up to 35,000 points
• 15K first purchase
• 20K after $3K spend in first 4 statement periods
~$560 in travel
Via Affiliates* Up to 45,000 points
• 15K first purchase
• 30K after $3K spend in first 4 statement periods
~$720 in travel

*Affiliate sources include Milesopedia, Great Canadian Rebates, or Google-sponsored search results. Going direct to CIBC’s website shows the lower 35K offer.

The Key Difference

Both offers require the same $3,000 minimum spend and include first year free. The affiliate channel adds an extra 10,000 Aventura Points for the same effort—worth approximately $160 more in travel value.

Is It Worth It?

Good fit if:

  • You value flexibility over airline-specific points (Aventura points work like a travel credit)
  • You have $3,000 in planned spending over 4 months
  • You want a card with lounge access and comprehensive insurance

Consider alternatives if:

  • You prefer Aeroplan points for flight redemptions (check the CIBC Aeroplan Visa Infinite)
  • You want higher points value per dollar—Aventura points typically redeem at ~1.6¢/pt through CIBC Rewards
  • You already held this card recently (CIBC typically requires waiting periods between bonuses)

How to Apply Safely

  • Take screenshots of the offer page showing the 45K threshold before applying
  • Track your spend—the $3,000 must post across your first 4 monthly statement periods, not 4 calendar months
  • Check eligibility—CIBC’s public T&Cs exclude current cardholders and those who cancelled within the last 12 months

Bottom Line

The 60K Aventura Visa Infinite is no longer available, but 45K through affiliate channels is still a solid offer for a first-year-free card—especially if Aventura points fit your travel strategy. If you don’t need the points immediately, CIBC sometimes runs higher offers in Q4.
