Our Take

The RBC British Airways Visa Infinite is ideal for frequent international travelers who primarily fly with British Airways or oneworld alliance partners. The welcome bonus, Companion Voucher, and triple Avios earning potential on British Airways purchases make it valuable for high spenders. However, it may not be ideal for those looking for more flexibility in redeeming rewards or those who prioritize domestic travel.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Generous welcome bonus: Up to 60,000 Avios can translate to $1020 in travel value.
Triple Avios on British Airways flights, making it ideal for frequent travelers.
10% discount on British Airways flights.
Companion Award eVoucher: Great value for frequent British Airways flyers.
9 types of insurance included, such as travel accident, flight delay, and rental car insurance.
3 cents per litre savings at Petro-Canada with linked cards.

Cons

High income requirements: Must have either $60,000 personal or $100,000 household income to qualify.
Limited flexibility: Avios can only be used with British Airways and oneworld alliance airlines, limiting options for domestic or non-alliance travel.
Companion Voucher requires $30,000 in annual spending, which may not be accessible for all cardholders.
