The strategy is straightforward: always use the CIBC Rewards Centre for travel, never use points for merchandise or statement credits. Redemption #1: Flights via CIBC Rewards Centre (Best Value) Rate: Up to 1.0¢/pt (Aventura VI Privilege) or ~0.5¢/pt (standard cards) Book any available flight through the CIBC Rewards Centre portal and pay with Aventura points at the cash price.https://cardnorth.ca/rewards-credit-cards/cibc-aventura/aventura-points-value/Tue, 02 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://cardnorth.ca/rewards-credit-cards/cibc-aventura/aventura-points-value/CIBC Aventura points are worth approximately 1 cent each when redeemed for flights through the CIBC Rewards Centre.

Aventura points are earned on eligible CIBC credit card purchases and redeemed through the CIBC Rewards Centre for travel bookings. Unlike Aeroplan (which offers 40+ airline transfer partners and dynamic partner bookings) or Amex MR (which transfers to Aeroplan, Avios, and Flying Blue), Aventura is a closed ecosystem — points are used in the CIBC travel portal or for non-travel redemptions.
