Data caveat: CIBC's own page shows the middle tranche as 15,000 points ($6,000/6-month spend), for 50,000 total; some independent trackers currently list it as 10,000 (45,000 total). We follow the issuer and are re-verifying that $6,000-spend tranche.

- Preferred Aeroplan redemption pricing
Where it loses points
- Functionally a twin of the TD Aeroplan VI — differentiation is mostly which bank you already use
- Anniversary bonus tiers require heavy spend
Who it’s for
CIBC clients who fly Air Canada and check bags — same case as the TD version, different bank.
Who should skip it
You bank elsewhere; pick the Aeroplan VI card from your own bank when offers are equal.
