If you have a Visa / Visa Infinite card, you will have to register directly on this page.

CIBC joins most other issuers in the market that offer between 2 and 6 Priority Pass airport lounge accesses. In the same fee range (= same annual fee level), only the Scotiabank Passport™ Visa Infinite* Card does better by offering 6 annual accesses… and no conversion fees for foreign currency transactions!
