Two specific updates on the RBC British Airways Visa Infinite Card:
- The 60,000 Avios promotion has been extended with no expiry date.
- Companion Vouchers earned on or after July 4, 2023, are even more valuable and flexible and can now be enjoyed with a companion or solo. You can take a companion with you on the same award flight and cabin at no additional cost, or, if travelling solo, get a 50% Avios discount on one reward seat ticket. Only one Companion Voucher can be earned in any calendar year, valid for 24 months.
British Airways (BA) Avios program opens the door to the entire One World network, and RBC cards are the primary way Canadians earn Avios points. The ability to earn Avios rewards through everyday purchases, and benefits like a 10% discount on BA flights, a Companion voucher, and strong insurance coverage, make this card a strong contender for all wallets. Let’s take a look at the card features;

BA Avios is one of my favourite currencies for premium redemptions, with British Airways or any One World partner airlines (14 to choose from). The RBC British Airways Visa Infinite Card adds a solid option to earn and redeem Avios through everyday purchases in Canada.
