Redeeming CIBC Aventura Points for Business Class Flights

If you’re looking to squeeze the most value out of your CIBC Aventura Points, your best bet has long been to leverage the CIBC Aventura Airline Rewards Chart. By redeeming your points this way, you can get up to 2.29 cents per point, which is a nice jump from the otherwise standard value of 1 cent per point.

However, one of the lesser known uses of CIBC Aventura Points can boost that value all the way up to 2.5 cents per point, and get you at the front of the plane to boot.

In this guide, we’ll explore how to redeem CIBC Aventura Points for business class flights, providing you with a comfortable flight and the most valuable way to use Aventura Points.

Who’s Eligible to Redeem CIBC Aventura Points for Business Class Flights?

To begin, it’s important to note that only cardholders of the CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card are eligible to redeem Aventura Points for business class flights.
