A dependable no-fee cash back card anchored by 2% on groceries; fine as a starter or backup card, but heavy spenders will do better paying for the Infinite.

Terms & conditions

Rates and offers change. Every rate, fee, welcome offer and benefit on this page was accurate when last reviewed, but CIBC can change or withdraw any of them at any time — sometimes without notice. Confirm the current terms on CIBC's own website before you apply.

Eligibility is theirs to decide. Approval, credit limits, interest rates and welcome offers depend on your credit history and CIBC's own criteria. Bonuses often exclude anyone who has held the card before, and usually require a minimum spend within a set period.

This is not advice. The reviews and ratings here are our editorial opinion, not financial, tax or legal advice, and not a recommendation for your circumstances. Speak to a qualified professional before making a financial decision.
