Total screwup to the very end!
Now that the card has finally been discontinued, they have even screwed up the process of refunding of any funds remaining on the card! This card has been a disaster in every possible way. How could CIBC, VISA, and Air Canada have foisted it on us?
Mauvaise application
Je ne recommande pas.
Mauvaise application. Il est difficile de voir quel est notre solde. De plus, difficile de fermer notre compte…

Hazardous to your vacation!
Without any doubt this is the worst app with horrible service from CIBC and AC. As soon as I return from Europe it will be cut in little pieces and displayed at my local CIBC branch.
This is my second year and after similar experiences last year, was assured the problem were corrected. Not so ! Terrible response time from “customer service”.
Shame on you CIBC and Air Canada.

Poorly designed App
Starts to load and then hangs. Website using Firefox appears to work although login is not working properly.
Not good
Everything is good until make payment.
Do not get this card
The exchange rate is the worst ever seen, the app doesn’t work and to load fund your card takes forever
Worst card and app ever
Never works, don’t get it. I regret my decision.
Worst decision by CIBC
CIBC other prepaid visa’s were a lot better but for some reason they replaced those with this garbage. With the other cards you could load finds on the fly and get access to your money right away. This card you have to load funds via bill payment on the CIBC app and then wait several days to get access to your money which beats the purpose of having a travel visa.

Worst prepaid Visa card
Unable to fund CAD instantly,

Everything worked for me
I don’t usually write reviews, but I noticed there were a lot of negative reviews for this app so I figured I would share my positive experience. I had a trip planned through Germany and Belgium and I got this card for that reason. The card was shipped quickly, I loaded funds onto the card twice, and both times the funds were transferred within two days. I also used it at probably 15-20 merchants across both countries and never had an issue. Also, the FX conversion rate that I got through this card was much better than what I could have gotten through my regular credit card, ordering foreign cash from the bank, or exchanging funds directly at the airport. I would definitely, and have recommended it to others.

Frustrating!
I have been abroad for one month and was pleased with this card and app so far. Then I have been unable to load funds for the past week. Communicated with customer service , got the response the feature ‘LOADING FUNDS’ doesn’t work at the moment and app is under maintenance. What use is it if unable to load funds???
They have NO idea when it will be available. WHAT?!? This is a payment card attached to a bank. YOU CANNOT just respond we don’t know when it’s gonna work! It shouldn’t take weeks to fix this. UNACCEPTABLE

Can’t sign into app
Useless. Says I have entered the wrong username/password even though it’s exactly the same one that works on the website.
Doesn’t log in
I can’t log in, password and user name is correct because I just reset it again. 0 stars
Bad conversion rate
Even it says no fee, they get it from the conversion ratr. The USD conversion rate is 0.6935 per 1 CAD, while the market medium price is 0.7255. A 4.5% difference, what a rip off! Never gonna use it.
Lag
Improve app performance, app is buggy and lags and freezes, then crashes.
Not working
This app does not let me login with the sane credential that I use to login on the web page!
Poor testing of this app CIBC on first impression
Adding card to payee and using SMS or phone push did not work as I kept getting logged out waiting for it (2 hours and no sms). Gladly the “call me” feature worked immediately. Once added, I did an immediate bill payment/transfer to add C$ funds to the account which should show up instantly I would think given it is a CIBC to CIBC bill payment / transfer (and the app was developed may CIBC), but still waiting for it to show up 2 hour later and no comment after doing it regarding expected wait time. Face recognition at least works. Will update review after the transfer completes.

Nice idea…if it worked
Support confirmed that the reason it doesn’t let me load funds from my VISA DEBIT card is because their APP doesn’t work!
Do not be tempted!
Too bad that there are no minus stars available. Unfortunately, I didn’t read the reviews before becoming involved: The app is beyond horrible.
The account is worse. Transferred $$ from my CIBC chequing account a week ago, and the prepaid card still shows a nil balance. Total waste of my time.
