RBC^® ION+ Visa: Up to 12,000 Avion Premium Points^†

The new welcome bonus on the RBC® ION+ Visa is for 12,000 Avion Premium points,^† all of which are awarded upon approval.^†

Avion Premium points are different than the Avion Elite points which are earned on the suite of Avion credit cards, which we’ll explore in detail below.

The earning rates on the RBC^® ION+ Visa are as follows:

• Earn 3 Avion Premium points per dollar spent on eligible groceries, dining, food delivery, gas, public transit, electric vehicle charging, rideshares, streaming, digital gaming, and digital subscriptions^†

• Earn 1 Avion Premium point per dollar spent on all other eligible purchases^†

The earning categories are nearly identical to the lower-tier RBC^® ION Visa; however, the ION+ offers up to 3 Avion Premium points per dollar spent^† on many daily essentials, which is double the rate of the ION card. Moreover, the additional elevated earnings categories on the ION+ also encompass dining and food delivery.^†

Between the RBC^® ION Visa and the RBC^® ION+ Visa, you’ll want to pick the ION+ if you spend a lot on groceries, dining, food delivery, gas, transportation, streaming, digital gaming, and digital subscriptions, since you’ll earn 3 Avion Premium points per dollar spent instead of 1.5 on the ION.

For the small $4 monthly fee,† which adds up to $48 per year,† there’s also a basic set of insurance coverage, including mobile device insurance, purchase security, and extended warranty.^†

There is no minimum income requirement to apply for the RBC^® ION+ Visa,^† and the offer expires on November 4, 2024.
