Editor's Review

This is the ultimate card when it comes to privileges and perks. If you qualify for it, meaning you earn more than $200k as a household a year, and you are willing to pay the exorbitant $499 fee a year, you can benefit from a whole range of amazing options.

 

First, the CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card gives you 60,000 Aventura points if you spend over $3,000 during your first 4 months. Translated to cash, that's over $1,000. Next, you have access to over 1,200 airport lounges worldwide, plus 6 complimentary lounge visits each year.

 

With this card, you can also get through customs faster and gain access to exclusive business class bookings at discounted prices. If you travel a lot, then this card is just excellent for you. You also get up to 3 points on all purchases with this card, for each dollar you spend. Let's not forget about the $200 travel credit each year, 120$ annual fee rebate using SmartPlus, and many other benefits.

 

The CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite Privilege* comes with a slightly higher interest rate of 20.99% for purchases and 22.99% for cash.
