It’s Back – Up to 100,000 bonus with RBC Avion credit cards!

If I had to pick one card that truly lives up to the hype in the points travel community, this would be it. 55,000 Avion points was always the high point, and I always recommend picking it up with that bonus, but now is truly an unprecedented time: the up to 70,000 Avion points on the RBC Avion Visa Infinite card that we saw for the first time in May has returned and with a longer application window!

The RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privilege is also offering an all-time-high bonus of up to 100,000 Avion points in the first year.

There is a (small) catch this time: the initial chunk of 35,000 points will only post 60 days after the application has been approved. The offer is still 35,000 points upon approval, but it won’t immediately post to your RBC account like it has in the past.

This offer is available until November 25 — definitely don’t miss out!

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 $1,500 (Visa Infinite) or $2,375 (Visa Infinite Privilege) (using fixed-rate redemption).

Takeaway

The card’s biggest strength 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 RBC Avion Visa Infinite bonus of 70,000 points worth least $1,500 (using fixed-rate redemption) and the 100,000-point bonus + 6 lounge passes from the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privilege worth $2,375.

The RBC Avion cards offer ultimate redemption flexibility, as both the fixed travel chart and point transfers to partner airlines are fantastic ways to use points.
