Aug 8 Update: One day left for a CIBC response to Aeroplan/TD, 4x MileagePlus miles with Avis, next Volia Hotel Rewards systemwide bonus

Another day of adding lots of new bonus offers!

News, Tips & Tricks

I am starting to get a few phone calls from the media and other inquiries
regarding the potential split of CIBC and Aeroplan as the deadline for
CIBC to respond to the Aeroplan and TD agreement is tomorrow. While I don’t
have a crystal ball as to what is going to happen I am going to wager a
guess that the split will happen. CIBC is investing heavily in a new
credit card product to come out later this year or early next year and
would have to put up even more cash to match the Aeroplan/TD agreement.
That is a lot of capital to outlay even though CIBC could afford it but
why would they want to further dilute their credit card portfolio by
keeping Aeroplan and adding a new card to the mix? That is unless the new card being planned
replaced the current Aventura cards. Ultimately we will have to wait
until tomorrow or even early next week to see what transpires unless one
of our Aimia/Aeroplan contacts/readers wants to share the details
sooner. For more on the potential Aeroplan/TD partnership see our post from June 27
