CIBC Aero Infinite Visa is now publicly available again, as FYF for 15K Aeroplan welcome points. No need to go to YYZ to look for the reps to get the FYF offer anymore!
Update on my recent CIBC Aero Business Visa...signed up at 20K/FYF, a week before they increased it (on Nov 3rd) to the now current 25K/FYF offer. Figured I missed out on the extra points. Well, the bill just cycled and the points just posted and they gave me the extra 5K anyway. All Distinction eligible, which puts me nicely into Diamond territory again! Thank you AeroPants!

Did you call CIBC on it at all? or it just happened automatically?
I have the same situation (applied 10/28) and I'll report back what happens when my 1st statement generates

Nice! For me, I did call CIBC on the day I got the second email after approval, the one that they send when the actual card has been created and shipped out for delivery. The rep said there's nothing she can do about at that point, but because the signup code is still the same for the 20K and 25K promos, she advised me to just wait and see, then call back to discuss if I only got 20K. Well, now there's no need to discuss!

Very nice, although I hate CIBC, their AP card statement is much better than TD's and CIBC has the restaurants and hotels with bonus points.
I think I will apply today and go back

Dealer, that is a YMMV. Prolly only if you're a CIBC banking client, and if you've carried and used an existing card with good and plentiful txns. It's all conjecture on my part because I don't fit either of those criteria, nor have I tried to switch for welcome bonuses with CIBC.

I received 20k points,because I applied(mid-October'ish) before current 25k promo.I phoned up and said that my friend(so many FT friends here ) applied around the same time but received 25k points.The rep told me to call aeroplan....LOL! I said that the promo has nothing to do with them and I referred him to the CIBC website detailing the 25k offer.He put me on hold and after a while came back to say I will see the additional 5k points on my next statement! I asked him to put a note on file to confirm that.
We shall see.....
I applied for the personal Infinite Aerogold on Friday,15k points FYF. Took a while to find the link on-line for the fyf.I had to open up a new browser session and delete all history/cookies first,then I was able to get a current link.Apparently this offr is targeted for brand new CIBC clients(existing clients typically will have a CIBC cookie).Awaiting confirmation of approval for that.....
Cheers CIBC !
