Our take

Why we like it

Why we like it

One of the strongest cash back cards for Canadian businesses. You get 5% on gas and EV charging, 4% on recurring bills and 3% on shipping, insurance, office supplies and telecom, each on up to $1,000 of spending per statement cycle, plus a solid 1.25% on everything else with no annual limit. The welcome offer pays up to 15% for your first three billing cycles (up to $900) and the $175 annual fee is waived in year one, which makes the first year hard to beat. The catches: you need $80,000 personal income, $150,000 household income or $250,000 in business revenue; employee cards cost $75 each; and busy businesses will hit the per-cycle caps quickly. Travel insurance is fine for short trips, but medical cover only lasts 8 days.

If your business flies Air Canada regularly, this card pays for itself quickly. You get 2x Aeroplan points across a broad set of categories — travel, dining, shipping, telecom — plus tangible perks like free checked bags and Maple Leaf Lounge guest passes. The welcome offer of up to 75,000 points is generous, and the first-year fee is rebated. The catch: bonus earning is capped at $80,000 in annual purchases across the entire account, and the card’s value drops sharply if you don’t redeem through Aeroplan. Not the right pick for businesses that want cashback simplicity or fly with multiple airlines.

Pros

Pros

  • Up to 5% cash back on gas and EV charging
  • 4% on recurring bills and 3% on everyday business costs
  • 1.25% on everything else, with no annual limit
  • Up to $900 welcome offer and first-year fee waived
  • Five free virtual care visits a year with Maple
  • Redeem from $1, and cash back never expires
  • First-year annual fee rebate
  • Welcome offer up to 75,000 Aeroplan points
  • Free first checked bag for the cardholder + companions
  • Up to 4 Maple Leaf Lounge one-time guest passes per year (earned via spend)

Cons

Cons

  • Bonus rates stop after $1,000 per category each statement cycle
  • High income or business revenue requirement
  • $75 for each employee card
  • Travel medical covers only 8 days
  • Lounge visits cost US$32 each
  • High purchase interest rate
  • $180 annual fee
  • Best value is for Air Canada / Aeroplan loyalists
  • Bonus earning capped at $80,000 annual spend
  • Welcome bonus requires significant spend to maximize ($40,000 in year one)
  • Not a simple “cash back” style card for businesses that want easy redemption

  • The 15% bonus cash back offer is limited to new BMO CashBack World Elite Business Mastercard accounts and will not be awarded to current or former cardholders who reinstate a closed account, product transfer, or who open a new account.

2 Ongoing interest rates, interest-free grace period, annual fees and all other applicable fees are subject to change. Cash advances include balance transfers, cash-like transactions and Mastercard cheques. Visit bmo.com/yourbiz for current rates and fees; call the Customer Contact Centre at 1-844-385-5055 or visit your branch.


3 Earn 5% cash back on Gas and EV charging purchases made at merchant locations in Canada up to a maximum of $1,000 spent per statement cycle period. The 5% cash back includes the base earn rate of 1.25% cash back for card purchases (“Base Rewards”) and the bonus of 3.75% cash back for Gas and EV charging purchases (“Bonus Rewards”).

4 Earn 4% cash back on recurring bill payments made at merchant locations in Canada up to a maximum of $1,000 spent per statement cycle period. The 4% cash back includes the base earn rate of 1.25% cash back for card purchases (“Base Rewards”) and the bonus of 2.75% cash back for recurring bill payments made at merchant locations in Canada (“Bonus Rewards”). Recurring bill payments are defined as payments on a monthly or regular basis, and which are automatically billed by the merchant to your BMO CashBack World Elite Business Mastercard. Not all merchants offer recurring payments, and not all ongoing payments will be considered “recurring bill payments” and therefore may not earn Bonus Rewards. To earn Bonus Rewards, purchases must be made through merchant locations in Canada classified by Mastercard’s “Merchant Category Code” within one of the following MCC codes: 5968, 4900, 7997, 6300 & 5969. BMO (“Bank of Montreal”) cannot guarantee that any merchant offering recurring payments is classified under the applicable MCC codes and in no event will BMO be liable or responsible for any claims with respect to a recurring bill payment made at a merchant that is not classified under the applicable MCC codes. Please check with your merchant to see if your recurring payment qualifies.


5 Earn 3% cash back on shipping, insurances, office supplies, and telecommunication purchases made at merchant locations in Canada up to a maximum of $1,000 spent per statement cycle period. The 3% cash back includes the base earn rate of 1.25% cash back for card purchases (“Base Rewards”) and the bonus of 1.75% cash back for shipping, insurances, office supplies, and telecommunication purchases (“Bonus Rewards”). To earn Bonus Rewards, purchases must be made through merchant locations in Canada classified by Mastercard’s “Merchant Category Code” within one of the following MCC codes: 4214, 4215, 9402, 6300, 9399, 7339, 5111, 5943, 4812, 4814 & 4816.


6 Purchases made in all categories listed in footnotes 3, 4 and 5 after the first $1,000 per cycle will earn at the base rate of 1.25%. All other purchases made outside these categories will earn a 1.25% base rate of CashBack rewards, without limit. CashBack rewards earned are cumulative over the statement period. Award of CashBack rewards is made for purchases charged to your account (less refunds and excluding cash advances, cash-like transactions, interest charges, fees, payments, credit or debit adjustments) and is subject to the BMO CashBack Rewards Terms and Conditions for the BMO Business CashBack Mastercard. The number of cash back rewards will be rounded down to the nearest cent.


7 A maximum of 22 additional employee cards can be added to a primary cardholder’s account. Employee cards have an annual fee of $75 for every additional cardholder added to the account. Ongoing interest rates, interest-free grace period, annual fees and all other applicable fees are subject to change.

Offer applies to newly approved Credit Card Accounts; transfers from another CIBC credit card to any CIBC Aventura® Visa* Card for Business (regardless of the annual fee) are excluded.

Credit Card Account must be open and in Good Standing at the time the Aventura Points are awarded. Aventura Points are awarded to the Primary Cardholder within 8 weeks after all qualifying net Purchase(s) are posted to the credit card account. The following do not qualify as Purchases: Cash Advances, Balance Transfers, CIBC Convenience Cheques, interest, fees, payments, and Aventura Points redemptions. It may take up to several business days for purchases to be posted to the Credit Card Account. This offer is non-transferable. This offer may be withdrawn or changed without prior notice at any time. CIBC may approve your application, but you are not eligible to receive this Offer if you have opened, transferred or cancelled another Aventura card within the last 12 months. This offer may be revoked if the Business or any Cardholder appear to be manipulating or abusing it, or are engaged in any suspicious or fraudulent activity, as determined by CIBC in its sole discretion.

This offer does not apply to annual fees for additional Cards that are added after the application is submitted. This offer applies for the first year only. If the Business qualifies for the rebate, it will be awarded to the Credit Card Account and will appear as a credit against the applicable annual fee(s) within 2 statements after the eligible Credit Card Account is opened. The new Credit Card Account must be open and in Good Standing at the time the rebate is awarded.

If the application for an eligible card is not approved, you may be considered for another card (as disclosed in the credit card application). If the application is approved for that card, this annual fee rebate offer will apply in the amount of the annual fee, if any, of the alternate card or Credit Card Account, as applicable.

The over $1,800 value is based on the combined total value of: the maximum redemption value of $1,600 for 70,000 Aventura Points on two long-haul airfares ($800 travel value each), based on the Aventura Airline Rewards Chart, before taxes and other charges, as of March 1, 2023; and an annual fee rebate for the first year (up to $180) for the Primary Cardholder and three additional cards ($150).

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 have the Centre charge an amount to your Card to cover the Points Deficit, excluding Taxes and Other Charges. For a business class flight, you may have the Centre charge an amount to your Card to cover the Points Deficit for an economy class ticket in the same flight segment as the business class ticket you want, excluding Taxes and Other Charges. 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.

11Insurance coverage(s) included with CIBC credit cards are underwritten by Belair Insurance Company Inc. You may contact the insurer at 1-866-363-3338 in Canada and the U.S. or collect from elsewhere at 905-403-3338 or visit cibc.client.insure. Different cards will have different coverage(s). To learn about which coverage(s) are included with a specific card, and important information regarding coverage eligibility requirements, benefits, limitations and exclusions, review the Certificate(s) of Insurance in your card package and CIBC Agreements and Insurance. Some insurance coverage(s) require purchase(s), car rentals, common carrier fares, accommodations and other trip costs to be charged to the card, or be for business purposes, to activate coverage. Other conditions may also apply. Car Rental Collision/Loss Damage Insurance (CLDI) is available for a rental period of up to 48 days for rental vehicles with a MSRP of up to $85,000 CAD and not otherwise excluded from coverage. The full cost of the rental must be charged to the card and the rental agency’s Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) must be declined. CLDI provides coverage up to the actual cash value (ACV) of the rental vehicle as defined in your Certificate of Insurance. Note that some rental agencies may assess their damages at an amount greater than the ACV of the rental vehicle and you may be liable to them for the difference. Before declining the rental agency's CDW or LDW, you should read carefully and compare the terms of the rental agreement, the CLDI Certificate of Insurance in your card package and any other insurance you own to decide which coverage best meets your protection needs. Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption Insurance may not cover certain health/medical conditions that are not stable before your trip. Certain coverages are “excess insurance” (all other sources of insurance and recovery must be exhausted before coverage is available).

12CIBC Travel Insurance is underwritten by member companies of The Co-operators, and is administered by TIC Travel Insurance Coordinators Ltd. No insurance is payable for any pre-existing condition unless you have applied and qualified for pre-existing condition coverage and received a Guarantee of Coverage from the insurer.
