† Offer available only at the time of application. You can qualify for this offer if you apply and are approved beginning March 1, 2023.
A one-time annual fee rebate for you (the primary cardholder). This offer applies for the first year only. If you qualify, the rebate will be awarded to you and will appear as a credit against the applicable annual fee(s) within two statement periods. Your new credit card account must be open and in good standing at the time the rebate is awarded.
If you apply and are approved for a new CIBC Select Visa Card, you can receive 0% interest for up to 10 statement periods from the date of application on any balances transferred if: your account is in good standing at the time the balance transfer is processed AND the balance transfer amount is at least $1. Otherwise, the regular annual interest rate for cash advances will apply to the balance transfer amount. If the balance transfer amounts exceed your approved credit limit determined by CIBC at the point of credit application, it will not be processed. Once you take advantage of this offer, you will have a promotional rate balance on your account. As a result, you will lose your interest-free grace period on new purchases unless you pay your entire balance, including any promotional rate balances, in full each month. While you will enjoy the promotional rate on the balances that you add by using this offer, new purchases will be subject to interest.
If you do not pay your required payment by the payment due date in any month during the promotional period, you will lose the benefit of this promotional interest rate offer and, effective the first day of the next monthly statement period, the regular annual interest rate for cash advances will apply to any remaining balance transfer amounts. Required Payment means $10 plus any interest and fees (not including the annual fee) plus any past due amounts. For non-Quebec resident personal cardholders only, Required Payment means $10 plus any interest (excluding Installment Plan interest) and fees (excluding the annual fee) plus any past due amounts. For all Quebec residents, Required Payment means your Percent of Amount Due (as defined in your CIBC Cardholder Agreement) plus any past due amounts. For all cardholders, if your Balance (excluding Installment Plans, if applicable) is under $10, that amount is your Required Payment.
Balance transfers are processed in Canadian dollars and cannot be converted to other currencies.
The promotional interest rate is charged on balance transfer amounts from the date they are posted to your account until the end of the offer period stated on your Summary of Rates and Fees. Your Summary of Rates and Fees and CIBC Cardholder Agreement will arrive in your welcome package. After the promotional period, any remaining balance transfer amounts will be charged interest at the regular annual interest rate for cash advances, until the amount is repaid in full. During the promotional period, the regular annual interest rate for purchases will apply to purchase transactions and the regular annual interest rate for cash advances will apply to balance transfer(s) that do not qualify for the promotional interest rate. For more information on how interest is calculated, please refer to your CIBC Cardholder Agreement.
A fee of 1% of the balance transfer amount will be charged to your account when the balance transfer amount is posted. If you do not pay off your balance in full by the due date, interest will be charged on the fee at the regular annual interest rate for purchases from the date the fee is posted to your account.
You will not be approved for a balance transfer amount that exceeds your assigned cash limit or is greater than 50% of your assigned credit limit.
If a balance transfer amount plus the balance transfer fee results in you exceeding your available credit or available cash limit, we may not approve the balance transfer, and may charge you a dishonoured balance transfer fee, or we may honour the balance transfer at the regular annual interest rate for cash advances and charge you an applicable overlimit fees. See your Summary of Rates and Fees. No partial balance transfer amount will be applied.
Payments will be applied to your account as set out in the "Application of Payments" section of your CIBC Cardholder Agreement and these terms and conditions. You cannot choose to apply your payments to your regular annual interest rate balances and leave your promotional interest rate balance transfer balances outstanding. For personal cardholders only: If you make a payment greater than your minimum payment, the excess amount is allocated to your regular annual interest rate balances and your promotional interest rate balance transfer balances in the proportion that each represents of the remaining balance. For example, if you have a regular annual interest rate purchase balance of $800 and a promotional interest rate balance transfer of $200, 80% of your payment will be allocated to your regular annual interest purchase balances and 20% will be allocated to your promotional interest rate balance transfer balances. If there are two or more promotional interest rate balance transfers with the same promotional interest rate, the excess amount allocated to your promotional interest rate balance transfers will be allocated to those balance transfer balances based on the expiry date of the promotional offer, starting with the promotional interest rate offer that will expire first. For example, if your account has promotional interest rate balance transfers with the same promotional interest rate that will expire in January, February and March in the same year, then that portion of your excess amount will first be allocated to the balance transfer that will expire in January, then to the balance transfer amount that will expire in February and, lastly, to the balance transfer that will expire in March.
Interest on the balance transfer amount may be charged on both your CIBC account and the non-CIBC account(s) from which you are transferring a balance until the transferred amount is credited to the non-CIBC account(s). You are responsible for any payments due on the non-CIBC account(s) from which you are transferring a balance. Balance transfer(s) do not result in the cancellation of your non-CIBC account(s). Balance transfers cannot be used to make a payment on any other CIBC credit card or loan product and do not qualify to earn loyalty points, rebates or cash back rewards. You cannot dispute balance transfer transactions.
Promotional interest rate offer is available on select credit card accounts and is not transferable.
