RBC has introduced a third membership tier to its Avion Rewards loyalty program. Avion Select joins Avion Premium and Avion Elite as the newest tier in the program, which is now available to anyone and not just RBC cardholders.
While the full details surrounding the Avion Select tier have yet to be confirmed, members will soon be able to earn and redeem Avion Select points for travel.
RBC Debuts Avion Select Membership Tier
RBC’s Avion Rewards loyalty program is now accessible to all Canadians, and not just those who bank with RBC.
Until now, the program was only accessible through RBC’s suite of credit cards that earn Avion points.
Avion Select becomes the third membership tier within the Avion Rewards program. It’s a base-level tier that currently gives members access to cash back and deals at a number of retailers, as well as the Avion Rewards ShopPlus browser extension.
Soon, Avion Select members will be able to earn Avion points, and then redeem them for merchandise, gift cards, and travel. Full details about the utility of Avion Select points will be confirmed in the near future.
As a reminder, the mid-level membership tier, Avion Premium, earns Avion points that can be redeemed for travel, bill payments, merchandise, and gift cards; however, they aren’t as versatile as Avion Elite rewards.
Avion Premium points are earned on the RBC Ion+ Visa or the RBC Ion Visa. They have different redemption rates than the Avion Elite tier, and can only be transferred to WestJet Rewards.
The top-level membership tier, Avion Elite, earns points that can be transferred to WestJet Rewards, British Airways Executive Club, Cathay Pacific Asia Miles, and American Airlines AAdvantage, and can be redeemed at a higher value for travel.
The full details of the differences between the Avion membership tiers can be found on the RBC website.
