It will be interesting to see if CIBC can take advantage of the opportunity.
There are a number of us who get the AeroPlat card "fee" as long as we maintain our regular Plat card, and the AeroPlat still has 1.5 points/$ for annuals spends over $25,000. As a result, if you switch your spending to the SeroPlat and spend over $25,000 per year, the change is only going to cost you 6250 MR points per year, although you are stuck with Aeroplan and cannot transfer to CO or Delta.
I'm going to wait until I see the CIBC product to decide whether to switch or downgrade my Amex.
