My advice, chuck the visa, get a low fee cibc aeroplan visa with a 1;2 warning ratio for when Amex isn't accepted. The gold also has better purchase protection.
Good advice but I wouldn't 'Cancel' the CIBC, i would "Switch" to a No fee or Low fee card instead. That way you won't get an extra hit (inquiry) to your credit bureau and you'll retain your credit limit.
