I switched to a basic CIBC Aeroplan card, because I have no need for the benefits of "insurance", as I already have the extensions under my own insurance. Paying the $150 or whatever it was, annoyed me. I also have a cash back CC, which I found more useful since I haven't redeemed for an Aeroplan flight reward since pre covid because I can't find anything in J, and I am chasing 1MM AirCanada status.. If you believe I would be better served with a premium card I would be very grateful for your recommendation. I almost always fly in J so the perks of lounge access, priority etc. are already there. I will most likely barely reach 75k SQM this year.
