Aeroplan remains the program of choice for the vast majority of Canadians aiming to redeem their points for high-value international business and First Class redemptions.
Redeeming Aeroplan points follows the Aeroplan Flight Reward Chart, and can cost as little as 55,000 points one-way from Vancouver to Tokyo in business class.
From the East Coast, 60,000 Aeroplan points (or often fewer, thanks to Air Canada's preferred pricing if you hold Elite Status or a credit card) would unlock a transatlantic flight to most parts of Western Europe.
Closer to home, short-haul flights within North America that are under 500 miles only cost 6,000 Aeroplan points one-way.
With a few months of organic spending on top of the signup bonus, points earned would be enough to travel one-way in business class across the continent on routes such as Toronto–Vancouver or Montreal–Los Angeles.
The Essential Guide to Aeroplan

It's worth noting that the extra perks you find on the CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite* Card, such as the Priority Pass benefits and the NEXUS fee waiver, aren’t available on this card.
The CIBC Aeroplan® Visa Infinite* Card includes all the insurance benefits that you'd expect from a premium travel credit card, such as:
Emergency medical insurance of up to $5,000,000 on the first 15 days of an out-of-province trip (three days for 65+)†
Flight/trip delay insurance of $500 for delays of at least four hours, which comes in handy if you need to replace your incidentals due to a delay†
Car rental theft and damage insurance, which can replace the insurance fees that car rental agencies will try to upsell when renting a car†
$500,000 Common Carrier Accident insurance, which protects you in case of a travel-related accident†
Trip cancellation/trip interruption insurance: trip cancellation of up to $1,500 per insured person for a combined $5,000 and Trip Interruption insurance of $2,000 per person†
One thing that's worth noting is that the CIBC Aeroplan credit cards (i.e., this card, plus the Infinite Privilege and the Visa for Business) are among the few cards that will extend their travel insurance benefits to tickets redeemed with Aeroplan points.†
Many credit cards in the marketplace consider award travel to be ineligible for travel insurance – you have to put the full revenue ticket cost on the card in order for it to count. Meanwhile, the CIBC Aeroplan cards only require you to charge the taxes and fees of your Aeroplan booking to the credit card in order for the travel insurance to kick in.†
If you prefer to cover your bases using travel insurance, yet also frequently travel on Aeroplan points, that makes this card worthwhile to keep around.†
