Yesterday I posted about Rewards Network, the dining program which gives you extra frequent flier miles.

If you are an Air Canada Aeoplan member you probably noticed that they are not part of the rewards network. Why? Because they have their own program.

It is called Advantex and it is done with CIBC. It is a similar idea to Rewards Network only that it works for restaurants in Canada, gives you less benefits (usually 1 or 2 miles per dollar spent) , and you can’t choose which credit card to use; you have to use specific ones- either the CIBC Aerogold card or the CIBC Aventura card.

However, if you do live in or visit Canada a lot- the selection of restaurants in canadian cities is much better than Rewards Network.

If you have the CIBC Aerogold card, the website you can check to learn more about this is http://www.aerogold-advantex.com/

If you have the CIBC Aventura card, the website you can check to learn more about this is http://en.aventuraadvantex.com/
