From points acceleration to airport lounge access and partnerships with leading airlines, CIMB Visa Infinite Credit Card goes beyond transactions and empowers affluent travellers to travel smarter and more seamlessly–because the upgrade begins long before take off
Luxury travel has entered a more discerning era.
While indulgence still holds its allure, today’s affluent travellers are guided by something far more valuable: seamlessness. Ease, flexibility, and intelligent value have become the defining markers of a well-considered journey, whether you’re flying for business, leisure or both.
This shift has given rise to a new kind of jetsetter—one who approaches travel with the same strategic mindset applied to wealth management and lifestyle decisions. In short? Flights are not simply booked, but optimised. Spending is not incidental, but intentional. Every touchpoint, from departure to arrival, is planned to ensure it unfolds with minimal friction and maximum comfort.
It is this evolution that the CIMB Preferred Visa Infinite Credit Card has been designed to support. Conceived for globally minded individuals who value both sophistication and financial intelligence, the card functions as more than a payment tool. Instead, it acts as a gateway to a more considered way of travelling, where rewards, privileges, and access are seamlessly integrated into the journey itself.
The airline advantage
Central to this experience is its strong airline ecosystem. With privileges and preferred access across leading carriers such as Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways, Cathay Pacific, and Malaysia Airlines, CIMB Preferred Visa Infinite credit cardholders can transform everyday spend into meaningful travel opportunities. Whether it is redeeming points for a Business Class upgrade or enjoying preferential fares, the card introduces a smarter rhythm to flying that rewards you.
This is further elevated through limited-time travel incentives designed for frequent flyers. From now until September 30, eligible cardholders who spend a minimum of RM1,500 on flights with participating airlines can enjoy up to 50 per cent cashback on airfares, with tiered rewards based on foreign spend or maintained account balances.

Rewards that move with you
Beyond flights, CIMB Preferred Visa Infinite’s rewards structure is designed to scale alongside one’s lifestyle. From dining in world-class cities to cross-border spending, cardholders can accelerate points accumulation while enjoying cashback benefits that add tangible value to every transaction. It is a system that works quietly in the background, ensuring that each purchase contributes to the next journey–without requiring constant attention.
The experience extends seamlessly into the airport itself. With access to an extensive network of airport lounges worldwide, your pre-flight ritual becomes elevated: a moment of calm before departure, whether for a long-haul business trip or a spontaneous weekend escape.
A seamless financial ecosystem
Beyond these privileges is the added advantage of maintaining a CIMB CASA account, which enhances the overall travel experience through smoother payments, cross-border convenience and consolidated financial management. The same ecosystem also unlocks higher tiers of travel rewards, whether through higher cashback on flights or accelerated benefits tied to account balances. By bringing spending, rewards and liquidity into a single ecosystem, it allows travellers to focus less on logistics and more on the journey ahead.
As global travel becomes increasingly fluid, the markers of true luxury are shifting from visible indulgence to invisible ease. For the modern traveller, the greatest privilege lies not merely in where one goes, but in how effortlessly the journey unfolds. And it is with this ease and effortlessness that the CIMB Preferred Visa Infinite Credit Card emerges as a natural companion—supporting a way of travelling that is at once elevated, intuitive and intelligently designed.
