Beloved offer returns – up to 55,000 bonus with RBC Avion Visa Infinite card

If I had to pick one card that truly lives up to the hype in the points travel community, this would be it.  The beloved (and eagerly awaited) elevated offer on the RBC® Avion Visa Infinite‡ Card has returned, and the card now offers a bonus of up to 55,000 Avion points^ for new cardmembers. Avion points are some of the most flexible and transferable travel points for casual and frequent travellers. I enjoy the simplicity of redeeming Avion points, whether to purchase a flight ticket at a fixed rate, transfer them to another loyalty program, or use them as a statement credit with a simple conversion rate. The current offer is worth up to $1100† (using fixed-rate redemption) – don’t miss out!

Take Away

The biggest strength of the card is the currency it earns, which can be converted into other airline miles that are hard to come by in Canada. Even if you decide to use the points within the Avion ecosystem, a conservative estimate puts the 55,000 bonus at at least $1,100† (using fixed-rate redemption). The RBC Avion Visa Infinite Card offers ultimate redemption flexibility, and I appreciate a card that lets you earn and burn without the mental gymnastics of complex redemptions.
