      I booked flights using CIBC ** ******* *******. *** ** * ****** ****** ***** ************* I needed to change my flights. My itinerary said there was no change fee beyond paying the fare difference. I went to change the flights and was directed to CIBC's virtual assistant than then directed me to CIBC's flight search platform; I was shown multiple flights with available seats that required zero cost to change. However, when I went to click those flights, it said the flight was not available and to try another flight. I tried multiple flights, including those that would incur a cost and I was still unable to change my flight. At no point was I directed to a travel agent. I went back to the modify my booking page and was again directed to their chatbot. I looked to see if it was possible to cancel my flight. The chatbot said I would be issued a flight credit. When I clicked on the "how flight credits work" button, they noted that "the airline may charge a change fee when you use the credit. Also, expect to pay any fare differences and taxes/fees". I assumed that the fare differences and taxes/fees would relate to the taxes/fees traditionally applied to airfare. I proceeded to cancel my flight and apply a credit valued at $363. I used the "search flight" button below my fare credit and saw the flight I wanted was $371. However, I was unable to apply the credit on their online platform. When I called to book, the travel agent quoted me a fare of over $800. After a discussion, they told me that they would reduce the price to approx $200 over the market fare. To be clear, this isn’t a request based on buyer’s remorse or a change of heart. The website failed to provide full information at the time of cancellation and rebooking. This directly impacted my decision and caused a financial consequence that I couldn't reasonably foresee. That falls within the realm of a customer service failure or system flaw.

      I am reaching out to formally request assistance regarding a promotional issue with my savings account at CIBC.

      According to CIBC’s stated promotion, customers were eligible to receive a $200 reward upon fulfilling the following conditions:

      1. Successfully obtaining the chequing account opening bonus.
      2. Depositing $10,000 into a savings account and maintaining the balance for at least three months (excluding the month of account opening).

      I opened my account in August 2024 and deposited the required amount into my savings account, keeping it there until January 2025 —well beyond the three-month requirement. Earlier this year, I successfully received the $400 chequing account bonus, confirming that I met the eligibility criteria. However, despite fulfilling the stated terms, I have not received the $200 savings account reward.

      After contacting CIBC, I was informed that I did not qualify for the offer, but no clear explanation was provided. Given that I strictly adhered to all requirements and have already received the chequing account bonus, I strongly believe that I should be eligible for the savings account reward as well.

      CIBC seems to have cut off access to my accounts and credit card without warning.
      Every time I call I get bounced from agent to agent trying to find out any information and they tell me nothing. I have wasted hours trying to get an answer. * **** **** ******* ** *** ***** *** ** ****** *** **** **** ***** **** ** ********** ************ ****** *** **** ****

      I had informed CIBC that I will be out of the country from Feb to May. My insurance premiums are pre-authorized debits on my credit card. * **** **** ** ********* ******** *** **** ** ***** ** **** ** ****. These charges were declined by CIBC. I had a very good standing, had informed CIBC re absence. I was charged nsf fees by my insurance co when it was declined. I had to make several calls from overseas. Tried calling them and had to wait a very long time. ******* **** ***** *********. She lied saying she called my long distance no which she never did, called me on ******** when there was no call. **** **** *****
      Then she promises me that my $100/= fee will be reimbursed. She is not returning my calls nor paying the amount as credit. Then one ******* calls promising the dues will be set against mycredit card. Nothing happened.
      Honestly they lie repeatedly with no remote.
      I NEED MY $100/= FROM CIBC AS PROMISED ** ******* ****.

      I was charged monthly fees of $29.95 from May 31, 2023 to present. I spoke to the branch on the phone and setup a personal meeting with the branch representative. I was requesting them to remove these charges as I never received any email from them regarding the change in monthly fees. I explained to them that these charges have been accumulating on my account for several months without any notice to me. I then exchanged email conversations with ***** ****** Financial Service Representative and **** ******, but they did not respond back to me despite my several emails and phone calls ***** **** **** ******** *** *********.

      I am seeking refund for these charges from the first day.

      ********* charged me multiple times for something I did not purchase and despite advising CIBC of this after several times, no proper investigation was completed on CIBCs end, as CIBC continued to allow these charges to get processed through my bank account. After multiple occasions of this occurrence, I closed my account and requested a new bank card, still to no avail as CIBC still permitted these transactions to be processed. ********* issued a refund for five transactions totalling $107.30 on April 4, 2024 (on an old debit card) and I have been promised on multiple occasions by CIBC that the refund would get processed. It has now been two-and-a-half months since ********* issued the refund and I have been very generous in terms of the time I have given CIBC to process this refund. * **** ******** *** ****** ****** ** ***** ********* **** ** ** ***** ** **** *** ***** * ***** ******** *** ***** *** ** *****
