The link supplied in post #1 is still active, but it states that the bonus is only available up to October 31st.
Not sure if those who signed up in November will be getting the perks...
Anyone speak to CIBC to confirm ?

I called today. The problem was I had a Visa with CIBC about 2 years ago and used the same email address at that time. They had to reset something in order for me to be able to register. I'm on now and I got my 15k points already!

Seems like a few FTers has reapplied for the CIBC visa.. is it generally pretty easy to cancel, reapply, and get the 15K bonuses?

I had done this many times, but I do it only after 12 months if the old card and the new card is the same card product (i.e. AEROGOLD). If I am changing product, like this time from AEROGOLD to Aventura, I did not care how long it was (in my case only 3 months). From the friend that used to work at CIBC, it is suppose to be 6 months "offically" before you are entitle for the sign up bonus again. I just always play it safe by waiting the full 12 months. Especially I will be using another card anyway. i.e. AEROGOLD to AMEX Gold to AEROGOLD, etc..

Thanks for the heads up.. that the email plays a role whether someone can conveniently apply for the CIBC visa product and get the mileage bonus..

Especially now with an MC with CIBC.. you can switch back and forth.. MC covers vendors as well as Visa almost..
Almost have to check the account regularly..

I might be in the same boat. Tried tonight to create my profile on the Aventura Rewards site and wasn't able to. Kept getting the "Does not match information provided to CIBC Credit Card Services" that others have reported. Pretty annoyed. Of course they are closed so will call tomorrow to hopefully sort it out. I got the card mid October and activated early November so would've expected the info to be ok by now.

Was on the phone with a CIBC agent this morning to transfer my 10K Aventura Points to AEROPLAN for the Convert Promo, and he said that if we ever what to switch to AEROGold, they can convert all the remaining balance to AEROPLAN. The balance can be any amount, i.e. 12,345 will all be convert over. He said this apply to a switch to AEROGold, so not sure if that means you will not get the normal AEROGold sign-up bonus.

I've tried to switch other CIBC products to Aeroplan but told I would not get the bonus. The bonus is for new sign-ups only (i.e., you have to apply and be approved for the card).

I didn't get the 15,000 mile bonus, but I did receive a 5,000 AE point token of appreciation..
I would definitely have preferred the 15,000 mile bonus.. I've been an upstanding member for over 10 years on the card.. They could have at least done that for me..
