CIBC Aventura® Visa* Card Review
The Bottom Line
The CIBC Aventura® Visa Card* offers a no-fee way to earn travel rewards with flexible redemption options. Its welcome bonus and points on everyday categories make it appealing for budget-conscious users. However, the limited insurance coverage and low base earn rate may not make it the best choice for those looking for higher rewards or comprehensive benefits.
