The CIMB Preferred Visa Infinite Credit Card is one card that I don't talk about a lot (or at all). Let's be honest, besides being a conversation starter, the credit card itself does not have any "spectacular" benefits that one would otherwise pay attention to. In fact, amongst all of CIMB's credit card lineup, the CIMB Travel World Elite Mastercard is still the credit card to go for if you're looking to earn airline miles as quickly as possible. However, CIMB has recently ended its 10X Bonus Points Local Spend campaign, meaning that you now only earn 2X Bonus Points for Local Spend on your CIMB Travel World Elite credit card.
The good news is that CIMB has just launched an 8X Bonus Points campaign for its CIMB Preferred Visa Infinite cardholders. This is pretty significant, because on a normal day, the CIMB Preferred Visa Infinite only nets you 1X Bonus Points for Local Spend. With 8X Bonus Points on effectively most of the categories that are part of Local Spend, the CIMB Preferred Visa Infinite is now temporarily head of the CIMB Travel World Elite Credit Card when it comes to accumulating air miles. Remember, in most cases, banks tend to consolidate the points earn across all credit cards, so it's perfectly fine for your to use your CIMB Preferred Visa Infinite in the meantime, and just toss your CIMB Travel World Elite aside until the promotion is over.
Final Thoughts
With CIMB launching its latest promotion for its Preferred Visa Infinite cardholders, I urge all of you high flyers to take full advantage of this and maximize your airline miles by using your CIMB Preferred Visa Infinite Credit Card. As the Year of the Dragon is upon us, this is now the best time to start accumulating those precious airline miles to prepare for perhaps a summer trip or a year-end trip.
