Credit card loyalty
CIBC Rewards, often referred to as CIBC Aventura, is CIBC’s travel loyalty program. Although I rank the CIBC Rewards program behind American Express Membership Rewards and RBC Rewards, it’s still an excellent program that deserves your attention.

Have you ever noticed the option to select the WestJet companion voucher on their website? It’s right there on the main page above where you choose your destinations for flights. Some people may have ignored that checkbox since they don’t have a WestJet companion voucher, but I’m sure they still wondered what is the WestJet…

In my opinion, the American Express Membership Rewards program is the best bank travel rewards program in Canada. They’re highly flexible and the points are valuable. While it’s true that not every merchant accepts American Express, you shouldn’t let that deter you from earning points. What many people don’t realize is that with Amex Membership…
