Once you accept the Installment Plan Terms and Conditions and the installment plan is created, you can cancel it at any time but you cannot change it.

¹Insurance coverage(s) included with CIBC credit cards are underwritten by Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance Company of Canada (RSA). Different cards will have different coverage(s). To learn about included insurance(s), and important information regarding coverage eligibility requirements, benefits, limitations and exclusions, go to Agreements and Insurance and review the insurance certificate(s) in your card package. Some insurance(s) require purchases, common carrier fares and other trip costs to be charged to the card to activate coverage (other conditions may also apply). Certain RSA coverages are “excess insurance” (all other sources of insurance and recovery must be exhausted before benefits are available). For more information, call the insurer toll-free at 1-866-363-3338 in Canada, the continental U.S. and Hawaii or collect from elsewhere at 905-403-3338.
