Redeeming points for flights using the Aventura Airline Rewards Chart

The Aventura Airline Rewards Chart lets you know how far your points can take you based on destination. You can use the chart to book any airline, every flight, and every seat through the CIBC Rewards Centre meaning that you'll have a lot of flexibility when it comes to using your Aventura points.

The value that you can get out of the Aventura Airline Rewards Chart will vary. The tables below lays out the range of points you will need for each destination with the starting point being Canada or the United States.

If you have the CIBC Aventura Visa Infinite Privilege Card, you'll receive exclusive access to Business Class bookings via the Aventura Airline Rewards Chart.

Based on the max ticket price, you can get up to a value of 2.28 cents each on Economy tickets and up to 2.5 cents on Business class tickets using the Aventura Airlines Reward Chart. This values are based on if you can find a ticket for exactly the max ticket price which is possible, but not a common occurrence.

The best estimated range of value for Aventura points when used for flights through the Aventura Airline Rewards Chart is about 1.5 to 2.28 cents for economy and about 1.8 to 2.5 for business class.

This is a big range of value, but it's better than any other Aventura point redemption and better than many travel rewards programs. Especially since you can easily earn a lot of points with through signup bonuses and everyday spending with Aventura credit cards.

If you want to know the exact value of your Aventura Airline Rewards Chart redemption, you can use the point value calculator if you know the cost in cash and the cost in Aventura points.

Short-Haul Redemptions

Short-haul flights are flights within a province, territory or U.S. state to an adjoining province, territory or U.S. state.

These will cost you 10,000 to 20,000 Aventura points for up to a max ticket price of $400 in economy. This is a value of up to 2 cents per point based on that price.

For Business class, short-haul flights will cost you 40,000 points for up to a ticket price of $1,000. This gives your points up to 2.5 cents each in value.

Long-Haul Redemptions

Long-haul is consider to be flights from any location in Canada or U.S. to any location in Canada or U.S. (except Hawaii and Alaska).

Long-haul redemptions will cost you between 25,000 and 35,000 Aventura Points for up to a max ticket price of $800 on economy. This redemption options gives the best value of 2.28 cents each based on the max ticket price at 35,000 points.

For Business class, long-haul will cost you 70,000 points up to a maximum ticket price of $1,750 which is a value of 2.5 cents per point. This is the same max ticket price value offered on short-haul redemptions.

North/Central America, Caribbean

Flights from any location in Canada or U.S. to Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska, Bermuda, Central America, or Caribbean will cost you between 40,000 to 60,000 Aventura Points for an economy ticket for up to a max ticket price of $1,000 which is the same as short-haul redemptions.

Business class tickets with the same parameters will cost you 80,000 Aventura points up to a max ticket price of $2,000. This gives a value of 2.5 cents per point based on that price.

Even through you have to book through CIBC Rewards Centre, you can use Google Maps to get estimate flights costs for multiple destinations.

Europe

Flights from a major gateway in Canada or U.S. to select destinations in Europe will cost you between 50,000 to 70,000 Aventura Points for up to a max ticket price of $1,300 for economy.

Business class tickets to Europe will cost you a flat 150,000 points up to a maximum ticket price of $3,000 which gives you a slightly lower value of 2 cents per point.

Rest of the World

Flying from a major gateway in Canada or U.S. to select destinations in Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, South Pacific, Middle East, or South America will cost you between 75,000 to 125,000 Aventura Points for up to a max ticket price of $2,000 for economy.

Business tickets to these locations will cost you a whopping 250,000 points for up to a $5,000 maximum ticket price. This gives the same 2 cents per point in value as flights to Europe.

Short On Points?

If you're short on points, you can use your Aventura Card to handle the rest. $1 is equal to 100 Aventura Points when booking your award flight.

So if you were 1,000 points shy of your redemption, you could dish out $10 to make up for the shortage. This is equal to buying Aventura Points at the rate of 1 cent each which is a solid deal if you need to top off your account.

Redeeming points for other forms of travel

Aventura Points can be redeemed for car rentals, hotels, vacation packages, and cruises for 1 cent in value. This is the next best redemption option for Aventura Points when you're not using the Aventura Airline Rewards Chart.

When possible, I recommend sticking to using Aventura points for flights as you'll lose out on a lot of value when redeeming points towards other forms of travel.

40,000 points redeemed using the Aventura Airline Rewards Chart will be worth $800 to $1,000 while redeeming 40,000 points for other forms of travel will be worth a flat $400. That's a big difference in value.
