RBC Avion Credit Cards: A Record-High 55,000 Avion Points! (Extended)

RBC has stepped up the welcome bonuses yet again on their trio of Avion personal cards: the Visa Infinite, Visa Platinum, and Visa Infinite Privilege.

With these offers extended until October 31, 2022, you can earn a staggering total of 55,000 Avion points with each of these three products, which easily surpasses the previous all-time highs.

RBC Avion Visa Infinite: Up to 55,000 Avion Points!

Historically, the standard offer on the RBC Avion Visa Infinite was only 15,000 Avion points upon first purchase.

However, until October 31, 2022, RBC has bumped up the welcome bonus to a total of 55,000 Avion points:

• 35,000 Avion points upon approval
• 20,000 Avion points upon spending $5,000 in the first six months

To earn the first chunk of 35,000 Avion points, there isn’t even a need to make a single purchase. Simply apply for the card, and the 35,000 points should post to your account by the first monthly statement.

Meanwhile, 20,000 Avion points is a healthy return on $5,000 of spending, especially considering that you have a longer six-month period to meet the spending requirement rather than the traditional three months.

We value RBC Avion points at 2 cents apiece given their flexibility and frequent transfer bonuses, making the 55,000 Avion points worth a cool $1,100. Subtract the $120 annual fee from that, and the overall value of the offer is $980, and that’s definitely the highest we’ve ever seen this card go.

Furthermore, even though there’s no First Year Free offer here, you could still leverage the RBC VIP Banking Account to get your annual fee waived on this card.
