All Time High: Up to 70,000 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. 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: a never-before-seen welcome bonus of up to 70,000 Avion points on the RBC Avion Visa Infinite card!

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.

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).

This extremely time-limited offer is only available until July 15 — don’t miss out!

For a full rundown of the best ways to redeem RBC Avion points including the fixed-rate travel chart, check out our Avion guide. Of course, my take is the only place you should be sending them is AAdvantage, because it offers the most compelling sweet spots.

Take Away

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 transferring points to partner airlines represent fantastic ways to use points.
