Aug 8 Update: One day left for a CIBC response to Aeroplan/TD, 4x MileagePlus miles with Avis, next Volia Hotel Rewards systemwide bonus

Another day of adding lots of new bonus offers!

News, Tips & Tricks

I am starting to get a few phone calls from the media and other inquiries regarding the potential split of CIBC and Aeroplan as the deadline for CIBC to respond to the Aeroplan and TD agreement is tomorrow. While I don't have a crystal ball as to what is going to happen I am going to wager a guess that the split will happen. CIBC is investing heavily in a new credit card product to come out later this year or early next year and would have to put up even more cash to match the Aeroplan/TD agreement. That is a lot of capital to outlay even though CIBC could afford it but why would they want to further dilute their credit card portfolio by keeping Aeroplan and adding a new card to the mix? That is unless the new card being planned replaced the current Aventura cards. Ultimately we will have to wait until tomorrow or even early next week to see what transpires unless one of our Aimia/Aeroplan contacts/readers wants to share the details sooner. For more on the potential Aeroplan/TD partnership see our post from June 27
