You can qualify for this offer if you apply and are approved for a new eligible card beginning on March 14, 2022. Offer applies to newly approved card accounts only; transfers from an existing CIBC credit card to a CIBC Dividend® Visa Infinite* Card and CIBC Dividend Platinum® Visa* Card are excluded. This offer is not transferable. This offer may be withdrawn or changed without prior notice at any time.

This offer does not apply to annual fees for authorized users that are added after you submit your application. If your application for an eligible card is not approved, you may be considered for another card (as disclosed in your credit card application). If you are approved for that card, this annual fee rebate offer will apply in the amount of the annual fee, if any, of the alternate card. If you qualify, the rebate will be awarded to the primary cardholder and will appear as a credit against the applicable annual fee(s) on the anniversary month statement period in which the annual fee is charged for each of the first two years, for a total of 2 annual fee rebates for each cardholder. At the time the rebate is awarded, your new credit card account must be open, in good standing and must be the same credit card product that you were initially approved for.
The cash back is accumulated each month, beginning with the January statement and ending with the December statement. Only Primary Cardholders are permitted to make a cash back redemption.

The minimum cash back redemption amount is $25. Cash back will be credited to the Primary Cardholder’s account within 5 days of the date the redemption request is made. Any cash back amount that is not redeemed by the Primary Cardholder by the last day of the period covered by your December statement will be automatically redeemed, resulting in your cash back balance being reset to zero, and applied as a credit on your next statement, or, in limited circumstances, at such other time as may be permitted by CIBC. CIBC is not required to credit your account with cash back earned during a monthly statement period if your credit card account is not open and in good standing at any time during a monthly statement period.
