The CIBC Dividend Visa Infinite Card is a premium cashback product intended for applicants with strong credit profiles and stable income. It offers higher earn rates on everyday spending categories compared to lower-tier Dividend cards.

Estimated approval range only and not published by CIBC. Approval is subject to full credit underwriting, including income verification, credit history, debt servicing capacity, and existing credit obligations. Meeting minimum income thresholds does not guarantee approval.

Reward limits: The CIBC Dividend Visa Infinite Card does not impose any cap on total cash back earnings. Cashback is earned at the stated category rates on eligible purchases without an annual or lifetime limit.

ClearFin analysis

Our detailed review

A practical reading of where the card earns, what the fee buys, and which limits matter.

💸 No-Fee Cashback

2% cashback on groceries. 1% on gas, EV, transport, dining, bills & travel. 0.5% everything else. No fee.

How the rewards work

Groceries receive the strongest estimated return at 2.0%. Purchases outside the accelerated categories earn an estimated 0.50%.

What the annual cost means

There is no annual fee to recover, which can make the card easier to keep for credit-history length or occasional use. Interest and other transaction fees can still apply.

Who it may suit

This card is most relevant for someone who spends consistently on groceries and dining and prefers to avoid a yearly fee.

What to examine before applying

Compare the purchase interest rate, foreign-transaction fee, approval requirements, reward limits, and insurance certificates. Pay particular attention to merchant-category rules because a store may not receive the reward rate its products appear to suggest.
