^This offer only applies to new applications for an RBC Avion Visa Infinite or RBC Avion Visa Platinum credit card (each, an “Eligible Credit Card”) received between “January 21, 2026” and “June 15, 2026” (“Offer Period”) 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 Eligible Credit Card account, as well as existing cardholders on any RBC Royal Bank personal credit card account transferring to an Eligible Credit Card account during the Offer Period, are not eligible for the offer. 35,000 welcome Avion points (“Welcome Points”) will appear on your monthly credit card statement within sixty (60) days after your application has been approved, provided that your Eligible Credit Card account remains open and in good standing at the time the Welcome points are credited to your account, “good standing” meaning that your Eligible 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. You will receive 20,000 bonus Avion points (“Bonus Points”) if a total of $5,000 or more (“Qualifying Transaction Amount”) in qualifying net purchases and/or pre-authorized bill payment transactions (“Qualifying Transactions”) are posted to your Eligible Credit Card account within the first six (6) months from your Eligible Credit Card account opening date (“Period”). The Bonus Points will appear on your monthly credit card statement within sixty days (60) after you reach $5,000 in Qualifying Transactions, provided your Credit Card Account remains open and in good standing at the time the Bonus Points are credited to your account. 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 Eligible Credit Card for another type of RBC Royal Bank credit card before the Welcome Points and/or the Bonus Points have been credited to your account, you may lose the benefit of this offer. This offer may not be combined or used in conjunction with any other offer. Royal Bank reserves the right to cancel, modify or withdraw this offer at any time without notice, even after your application has been approved, including if we suspect that you may be manipulating or abusing it, or engaging in any suspicious or fraudulent activity, as determined by Royal Bank in its sole discretion.

The RBC® Avion Visa Infinite† is RBC®'s flagship product, offering cardholders flexible points that can be leveraged for high-value travel.
| Tier | Amount | Requirement |

VIP Banking clients can waive the fee entirely with qualifying balances, turning this into a no-fee card with Elite redemption access. Even without VIP status, the upfront 35,000 points justify the first-year cost on their own.
The split structure works in your favour – you’ve secured most of the value immediately upon approval, and the moderate spending threshold makes the full bonus accessible through everyday household spending.
| Category | Rate |
|---|---|
| Travel | 1.25× |
| Everything Else | 1× |
Use this for direct travel bookings to earn the bonus rate, but swap to category earners for everyday spending – the base rate isn't competitive. The real value is maintaining Avion Elite access for transfers and fixed-value redemptions, not chasing earn on groceries or gas.
Pair with ION Plus for a two-card RBC setup: that card handles everyday categories at 2x while this one stays in the drawer except for flights and hotels. Business-eligible spenders should consider the Avion Business Infinite instead – same Elite access, better baseline earn, lower fee.
| Partner | Ratio | Transfer Time |
|---|---|---|
| British Airways Avios | 1:1 | Next business day |
| Cathay Pacific Asia Miles | 1:1 | 1-2 business days |
| American Airlines AAdvantage | 10:7 | Up to 1 full week (processed once weekly, Thursday or Saturday) |
| WestJet Rewards | 1:1 | Few days |
The real value lies in transferring to British Airways Avios, Cathay Pacific Asia Miles, or American AAdvantage – all offering access to premium oneworld cabins at far better rates than fixed-point redemptions. Qatar Qsuites and multi-carrier awards through Avios are standout sweet spots.
Transfer bonuses, which appear regularly, can push redemptions well beyond 2 cents per point. Fixed-rate travel bookings at 1 cent per point are fine for domestic economy, but international premium cabin redemptions through partners justify holding this card.

GeneralThe real value here is airline flexibility – Avion Elite unlocks four transfer partners including British Airways Avios for short-haul positioning flights and Cathay Asia Miles for premium cabin redemptions across Asia. This access alone justifies carrying the card, even if you're earning most points elsewhere on the ION Plus.
Use this as your transfer hub, not your daily earner. The Elite tier persists as long as you hold any Avion Infinite card, so you can keep the card for as long as the value makes sense

Primary rental car coverage is the standout benefit here, saving you the hassle and cost of filing through your own auto insurance. The $65,000 vehicle cap covers most rental scenarios, including mid-size SUVs and luxury sedans.
Trip cancellation at $1,500 per person is adequate for economy redemptions but falls short if you're booking business class to Europe or Asia – consider supplemental coverage for high-value trips. The 90-day pre-existing condition window is standard but means you'll need standalone medical insurance if you have recent health changes.
