Airline Rewards Chart FAQs
Flexible Travel Reward allows CIBC Aventura® cardholders to obtain travel through the CIBC Rewards Centre with any combination of:
- Aventura® Points;
- Aventura® Points and a charge to your CIBC Aventura® Credit Card; or
- Charging the purchase directly to your CIBC Aventura® Credit Card.
Yes, you can redeem if you have at least 80% of the total number of Aventura Points required to purchase it. If you don’t have enough Aventura Points to purchase an Airline Travel Reward in full (but have at least 80% of the required number of Aventura Points), you may ask the Centre to charge an amount to your Card to cover the Points Deficit.
If the selected flight has a cost that exceeds the maximum allowable Flight Rewards amount, you will be charged the "over maximum" amount necessary to cover the entire base fare of the flight. The "over maximum" portion of your flight can be paid for using any combination of Aventura Points and/or your Aventura credit card.
The flight rewards tab displays the total number of points and cash required for a flight redemption using the Aventura Airline Rewards Chart, subject to a "maximum ticket price" for a round trip economy flight for one person in each travel region category. The maximum ticket price (before Taxes and Other Charges) is the base fare price. If the base fare price before Taxes and Other Charges exceeds the "maximum ticket price," you must either charge the excess to your Aventura credit card or you may redeem Aventura Points to pay the excess. If the base fare price before Taxes and Other Charges is less than the maximum ticket price, no credit (in either Aventura Points or a credit applied to your Aventura credit card) is granted. All taxes, fees, base fare price and maximum ticket prices are in Canadian dollars. The Aventura® Business Class Airline Rewards Chart, open to CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card cardholders, shows a "maximum ticket price" for a round trip business or first class flight for one person in each travel region category. If you don’t have enough Aventura Points to purchase an Airline Travel Reward in full (but have at least 80% of the required number of Aventura Points), you may ask the Centre to charge an amount to your Card to cover the Points Deficit. If you have the Centre charge an amount to your Card to cover the Points Deficit for an Airline Travel Reward and you are advised that the Aventura Travel Reward is refundable, then, in the event of a refund, the amount previously charged to your Card will not be refunded to your Credit Card Account and instead you will receive Aventura Points equal to the Points Deficit.
