Less time in lineups, airport lounge access and enhanced insurance coverage now available at no extra cost as CIBC Aventura's new card benefits go live TORONTO, Oct. 22, 2018 /CNW/ - CIBC -- (TSX: CM) (NYSE: CM) -- Almost half of all Canadians (49%) are planning to travel for vacation in the next 12 months but many find parts of the experience stressful or are left wanting more, according to a CIBC survey. Nearly all respondents (93%) said they would love to get through security and customs more quickly. And most (74%) would like to have access to airport lounges but (54%) think that is unattainable. "For travellers and vacationers, the journey starts well before they board a plane. We've looked at some of the most common needs and challenges, from beginning of the trip to the end and found ways to help clients put their minds at ease and enjoy the experience," says CIBC's Prashant Sharma, Senior Vice-President of Cards. Other factors weighing on Canadians' travel experience according to the survey include the theft or loss of money and credit cards, which they cite among their top concerns. As for the least enjoyable aspects of vacation planning, respondents point to price shopping or making last minute changes in the event of a cancellation or emergency. Responding to the needs of Canadians who love to travel, CIBC has added new perks and insurance coverage to its premium Aventura® cards at no additional cost. The new and continuing cardholder benefits available now include:
"Canadians want to get the most out of each trip," says Mr. Sharma. "Aventura's enhanced card benefits are meeting this demand and helping give clients a frictionless, memorable travel experience."
