How to redeem cash back to reduce your credit card balance
Have you signed up for a CIBC Dividend Credit Card and received a welcome bonus of several hundred dollars?
Here’s how to redeem cash back on a CIBC Dividend Visa Card.
Redeem cash back in 4 clicks
First, log in to your CIBC Online Banking profile.
The exchange can be done at any time during the year and it is not necessary to wait until the statement is issued to do so. The only requirement is a balance of at least $25.
On the Operations tab, click on Redeem Now.

A window will open to enter the amount to be redeemed. Select the desired amount and click on Next.

CIBC then wants confirmation of the amount redeemed, showing the remaining balance. All that remains is to click on Confirm.

Congratulations!
The CIBC Cash Back redemption transaction is confirmed. Thanks to this, I’ll have $150 less to pay on my CIBC credit card balance.
Also, a confirmation email will be sent within minutes.

Your cash back redemption is then credited to your account within five days. But in my experience, it is quite fast with one to two days delay.
It may be slower if there are upcoming holidays.
