This is because the purchase category is determined by the retailer&#8217;s Merchant Category Code (MCC). For example, most grocery stores will show up on your credit card statement with the code 5411 for &#8220;grocery store,&#8221; but retailers like Costco and Walmart usually code as &#8220;discounts stores,&#8221; and this falls under the clothing category with the CIBC Adapta Mastercard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can always check your favourite retailers&#8217; merchant codes on your credit card statement.

In some cases, you might even be able to choose a favourite category or two for an elevated earning rate. With this type of credit card earning structure, there&#8217;s no way to account for those months where your spending habits are not so ordinary, like around a special occasion, a trip, or a large project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, with the <a title=\"CIBC Adapta&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;\/sup&gt; Mastercard<sup>&reg;<\/sup>\" href=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/en\/go\/cibc-adapta-mastercard\/\" rel=\"noindex\"><strong>CIBC Adapta Mastercard<\/strong><\/a>, these once-in-awhile purchases can automatically enjoy the card\u2019s higher earning rate when they become one of your three biggest expense categories in a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, to see this adaptive rewards system in action, let\u2019s explore a few examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1566\" height=\"699\" src=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CIBC-Adapta-Mastercard-Earning-rates-EN.png\" alt=\"Review: CIBC Adapta Mastercard - CIBC Adapta Mastercard Earning rates EN\" class=\"wp-image-448015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CIBC-Adapta-Mastercard-Earning-rates-EN.png 1566w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CIBC-Adapta-Mastercard-Earning-rates-EN-450x201.png 450w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CIBC-Adapta-Mastercard-Earning-rates-EN-1024x457.png 1024w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CIBC-Adapta-Mastercard-Earning-rates-EN-200x89.png 200w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CIBC-Adapta-Mastercard-Earning-rates-EN-768x343.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1566px) 100vw, 1566px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-earning-example-vacation\">Earning example: Vacation!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A good example of when the <a title=\"CIBC Adapta&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;\/sup&gt; Mastercard<sup>&reg;<\/sup>\" href=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/en\/go\/cibc-adapta-mastercard\/\" rel=\"noindex\"><strong>CIBC Adapta Mastercard&#8217;s<\/strong><\/a> adaptive earning rates can help out is when you take a trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, let&#8217;s imagine that your regular monthly purchases look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"component component__list\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>$500 groceries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>$200 gas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>$200 parking\/transit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>$150 dining out<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes your top three categories groceries, gas, and parking\/transit, and together they&#8217;d earn 1,350 Adapta points ($900 x 1.5 Adapta points per $1), while the $150 in the dining out category earns you 150 Adapta points ($150 x 1 Adapta point per $1).

You earn 1.5x Adapta points in those three rotating bonus categories and 1x everywhere else. There&#8217;s no annual fee, the welcome bonus is up to 6,000 Adapta points, and the minimum income requirement is just $15,000.

You can also redeem for statement credits, charitable donations or Aventura travel bookings (CIBC&#8217;s portal). For most cardholders, retirement contributions deliver the best return, since you&#8217;re effectively converting everyday spending into long-term tax-advantaged investments.

For households doing $400+ monthly Costco runs, this is a straightforward way to stay in the bonus tier.
