CIBC will enhance their Dividend Platinum Visa and Visa Infinite Cards

CIBC will enhance their Dividend Platinum Visa and Infinite Visa Credit Cards on Feb 1, 2021.

For CIBC Dividend Platinum Visa Card:


For CIBC Dividend Visa Infinite Card:



BTW, if you have an eligible CIBC Smart Plus Account after February 1, 2021, you'll get a rebate on the $99 annual fee for Dividend Platinum or the new annual fee of $120 for Dividend Visa Infinite. 

As far as I am concerned, I like the new version of the CIBC Dividend Visa Infinite Card. The new 2% cash back categories are better than Tim Hortons & Telus. The new Cash Back On Demand feature is flexible. The new Mobile Device Insurance is very useful. I don't use those travel insurances on this Visa Infinite card anyway.

You can get a bonus of $25 Canadian Tire Gift Card when you buy $300 in Canadian Tire Gift Cards in Shoppers Drug Mart before between Oct 10 to Oct 16, 2020. Limit $500 per customer.

Air Canada Gift Card 10% Off

Expiry: Oct 14, 2020

Between Oct 8 to Oct 14, 2020, you can get 10% off when you buy Air Canada Gift Cards in some grocery stores, such as Sobeys, Safeway etc... I suggest that you can use AmEx Cobalt Card (or other credit card with high return on grocery stores) to get 5X points on the gift card purchase. Totally, it is equal to ~15% off on Air Canada gift cards, which is quite good if you plan to take their flights in the near future.

BTW, at the same time, the Air Miles Bonus Boom event is ongoing (between Oct 1 to Oct 14, 2020). You can earn extra Air Miles when you buy store gift card. One trick: in some stores that you may be able to buy the Air Canada gift card using store gift card. This is totally YMMV.

Air Canada: Making eUpgrades easier

 

Air Canada is improving eUpgrades to make it easier than ever for you and your travel companions to enjoy the comforts of our premium cabins. Here’s what you can look forward to: 

1) Request your eUpgrade any time prior to departure 

Request your eUpgrade any time after you book – you no longer need to wait until your upgrade booking window opens. Beginning October 6, you can request your upgrade any time prior to check-in at aircanada.com or with Air Canada Reservations, and when seats are available, it will clear automatically within your upgrade clearance window. If you prefer, you’ll still have the option to request upgrades at check-in on the day of departure. 

2) Simplified and improved eUpgrade requirements 

Now, all Air Canada fare options are eligible for eUpgrades, with the exception of Economy Basic fares. Plus, you’ll be able to upgrade all Aeroplan flight rewards. We’ve further simplified our eUpgrade requirements across our network, and in many cases reduced the credits and add-ons required for an upgrade. 

3) eUpgrades for your travel companions 

The transformed Aeroplan is built for families, with all-new features like Family Sharing and Status Pass. We heard from many of you about how important it is to be able to share the experience of Business Class with your companions. Beginning November 8, when seats are available, upgrade requests for companions travelling on your reservation will clear with the priority of your Altitude status – including at the airport. This means they’ll be able to join you up front more often.
