This offer only applies to new applications for a RBC British Airways Visa Infinite credit card received and approved by Royal Bank of Canada (“Royal Bank”), subject to the conditions below. Additional cardholders(s) (co-applicant and authorized user(s)) on the RBC British Airways Visa Infinite credit card account are not eligible for this offer. Existing cardholders on any RBC Royal Bank personal credit card account transferring to a RBC British Airways Visa Infinite credit card, are not eligible for the offer.
To receive the offer of 50,000 Avios points (“Bonus”), (i) a total of $6,000 or more (“Qualifying Transaction Amount”) in qualifying net purchases and/or pre-authorized bill payment transactions (“Qualifying Transactions”) must be posted to your Credit Card Account within the first 90 days of your Credit Card Account opening date (“Period”), and (ii) your Credit Card must remain open and in good standing, “good standing” meaning that your Credit Card Account must not be past due for more than two (2) consecutive Credit Card Account statement periods, closed, charged off or in credit revoked status at that time. If you are not currently a member of The British Airways Club, you will be enrolled automatically once you are approved for the RBC British Airways Visa Infinite credit card. Please note that the address your British Airways Club account is registered under must match the one for your RBC British Airways Visa Infinite account at all times for the Avios to be posted to your British Airways Club account. The Bonus will be awarded to your British Airways Club account, approximately 15 weeks after the date you reach $6,000 in Qualifying Transactions within the Period.
Qualifying Transactions exclude cash advances (including balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges that you set up with a merchant), interest charges and fees. Credits for returns and adjustments posted to your Credit Card Account during the Period will reduce the amount of your Qualifying Transactions. The Qualifying Transaction Amount is based on the transaction posting date of each Qualifying Transaction, not the transaction date. This means that transactions that take place prior to the last day of the Period will not be considered for the Qualifying Transaction Amount if they have not yet been posted or processed by the merchant, the payment network (Visa) or Royal Bank by the last day of the Period.
If you close or change your RBC British Airways Visa Infinite credit card for another type of RBC Royal Bank credit card before the Bonus has been credited to your British Airways Club account, you may lose the benefit of this offer. This offer may not be combined or used in conjunction with any other offer, except as otherwise set out. Royal Bank of Canada and British Airways reserve the right to modify, cancel or withdraw this offer at any time. British Airways, not Royal Bank of Canada, is responsible for this offer and The British Airways Club program. For all British Airways Club Terms and Conditions, please visit ba.com/theclub.
Eligible Members who spend a minimum of $30,000 CAD on qualifying purchases on their Card in a calendar year (“calendar year” refers to the time period starting from 1 January through to 31 December) will receive a maximum of one Companion Voucher for that calendar year. As an Eligible Member, you will be able to apply the Companion Voucher towards the purchase of a flight for a companion travelling with you, on the same Reward Flight (“Companion Ticket”).
Alternatively, for all valid Companion Vouchers earned, you can choose to use your Companion Voucher to make a solo Reward Flight booking, which will entitle you to a 50% discount on the Avios fare for your journey. Taxes fees and charges for you will still be payable (if travelling solo) or on your companion’s ticket (if travelling with a companion).
Please note that qualifying purchases exclude cash advances (including balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges that you set up with a merchant), interest charges or fees, and credits for returns and adjustments will reduce or cancel the spend amount by the amounts originally charged.
When booking a Companion Ticket with a Companion Voucher, you can choose to make a full Avios redemption or from other Avios and cash price options (subject to payment of the Taxes, Fees and Charges for each seat).
Only one Companion Voucher can be earned in any calendar year. If an Eligible Member reaches their spend target before the end of the calendar year then further spends, it will not accumulate towards another Companion Voucher. Eligible Members can begin earning towards their next Companion Voucher from 1 January each year. Please allow six (6) to eight (8) weeks for the Companion Voucher to be added to The British Airways Club account after meeting the spending requirement.
The Companion Voucher entitles the Eligible Member to purchase a Companion Ticket at the time of booking a Reward Flight, without having to pay for the price of the companion’s flight. The Companion Voucher will be issued in the name of the primary cardholder, who must travel on any Companion Voucher booking. Reservations and bookings for both the Reward Flight of the Eligible Member and the Companion Ticket of the companion must be made at the same time, for the same flight, on the same date, in the same class and cabin and on the same passenger name record (PNR) for travel on the same itinerary.
Eligible Members will be responsible for paying, without limitation, the taxes, fees and carrier charges, related to the Companion Ticket. Prices shown are Reward Flight redemptions. Reward Flight offers customers great value flights with a low, flat fee to cover taxes, fees and carrier charges and a fixed Avios amount. To be eligible for Reward Flight, you need to have collected at least one Avios in the past 12 months. To find out more about Reward Flights, click here. At the time of publication, a standard Reward Flight booking or a standard Companion ticket booking (non-Reward Flight) would be subject to taxes of approximately $870 return travel from Vancouver to London in economy class and approximately $1,900 per person based on business class travel. To make a booking, (including the Companion Ticket) Eligible Members must visit ba.com and log in using their membership number and PIN/Password. It is not possible to book a Reward Flight or a Companion Ticket by contacting a travel agent, or at the airport.
The Companion Award Voucher may be used for flights operated by British Airways only. Travel on franchise, codeshare or alliance airlines is not permitted. Return flights must be booked at the same time the outward journey is booked. All travel must originate in and return to Canada. Companion Vouchers can be used on a one way or return flight. Return flights must be booked at the same time the outward journey is booked. All travel must originate in and return to Canada.
A Companion Voucher can only be used if and when an Eligible Member is booking a Reward Flight using Avios and cannot be combined with any other offer, promotion, mileage or frequent flyer programme. Full details of fare rules can be found on ba.com. All Reward Flights and Companion Tickets are subject to availability and there is no guarantee Eligible Members will be able to book a flight for a companion on the Eligible Member’s choice of flight and destination. The Companion Voucher is only valid if it has been acquired in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
A Companion Voucher is valid for twenty-four (24) months from the date it is issued and must be exchanged for a Companion Ticket with travel commencing from Canada before the expiry date on the Companion Voucher. Eligible Members must still have a Card in good standing at the time of travel. British Airways and/or Royal Bank of Canada reserve(s) the right to refuse to issue or to honour any Companion Voucher in the event that the Eligible Member is in breach of either these RBC British Airways Visa Infinite Companion Voucher Terms and Conditions, their RBC Royal Bank Credit Card Agreement or The British Airways Club Terms and Conditions.
A maximum of two Companion Vouchers can be redeemed at any one time on the same booking e.g. [2] Avios reward fares plus [2] Companion Voucher tickets.
The Companion Voucher is not extendable, refundable, transferable, and has no cash or mileage value. At no time may the Companion Voucher be purchased, sold, or bartered but if it is, any such Companion Voucher will become void. Companion Vouchers are applicable to new and future bookings only; they cannot be used to amend or pay for existing bookings.
The Companion Ticket is subject to The British Airways Club Terms and Conditions relating to Companion Vouchers. If the Eligible Member cancels the Companion Ticket booking more than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the scheduled departure of the outbound flight from Canada, British Airways will redeposit the Companion Voucher which will only be valid for the remainder of its original twenty-four (24) month expiry period based on the original date of issue. Reward Flight bookings and Companion Tickets cancelled within twenty-four (24) hours of departure will result in the Companion Voucher and Avios being cancelled without any possibility of being reissued or credited to the Eligible Member.

Also, a merchant that is not classified by an Eligible MCC may be located on the premises of a merchant that is classified by an Eligible MCC, in which case a purchase made at this merchant would not qualify as Food and Delivery purchases.
