¹ If you apply and are approved for a new card you will receive a Welcome Bonus of 5,000 Aeroplan Miles when you make your first purchase at any time with your card. Purchases do not include cash advances, interest, fees, balance transfers, payments or CIBC Convenience Cheques. Aeroplan Miles are awarded to you within 8 weeks after the qualifying purchase(s) are posted to your account. It may take up to several business days for purchases to be posted to your account. Your new credit card account must be open and in good standing at time the Aeroplan Miles are awarded. This offer is not transferable and cannot be combined with any other offer. This offer does not apply to transfers from another credit card account. This offer may be withdrawn or changed without prior notice at any time. CIBC may, in its sole discretion, disqualify, limit or revoke this offer if you are believed to be abusing or manipulating it, or engaging in any suspicious or fraudulent activity.

² Insurance coverage(s) included with CIBC credit cards is underwritten by Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance Company of Canada (RSA). Different cards may have different coverage(s). To learn about which coverage(s) are included with a specific card, and important information regarding coverage eligibility requirements, benefits, limitations and exclusions, see our Agreements and Insurance page and the insurance certificate(s) in your card package. Some insurance coverage(s) require purchase(s), auto rentals, common carrier fares and other trip costs to be charged to the card to activate coverage (other conditions may also apply). Auto Rental Collision and Loss Damage Insurance (CLDI) is available for automobile rentals of up to 48 days. The full cost of the rental must be charged to the card and the rental agency's Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) must be declined. CLDI provides coverage up to the actual cash value (ACV) of the rental vehicle as defined in your insurance certificate. Note that some rental agencies may assess their damages at an amount greater than the ACV of the rental vehicle and you may be liable to them for the difference. Before declining the rental agency's CDW or LDW, you should read carefully and compare the terms of the rental agreement, the CLDI insurance certificate in your card package and any other insurance you own to decide which coverage best meets your protection needs. Certain RSA coverage(s) are "excess insurance" (all other sources of insurance and recovery must be exhausted before coverage is available). For more information, call RSA toll-free at 1-866-363-3338 in Canada, continental U.S. and Hawaii or collect from elsewhere at 905-403-3338.

³ Interest rates will change from time to time on at least 30 days prior notice to the primary cardholder. "Purchase" means card purchases less returns and does not include: cash advances, interest, fees, balance transfers, payments and CIBC Convenience Cheques. "Cash" means cash advances, balance transfers and CIBC Convenience Cheques.

⁴ Aeroplan Miles are earned on card purchases less returns, and not on cash advances, interest, fees, balance transfers, payments or CIBC Convenience Cheques. Taxes, landing and departure fees and other charges and surcharges may apply to Aeroplan reward travel. Aeroplan partners, rules and regulations are subject to change without notice, please refer to aeroplan.com. Aeroplan Miles will be awarded only if your CIBC Aero Platinum Visa account is in good standing on the monthly statement date (otherwise Aeroplan Miles are cancelled).
