How much is the value of 65,000 RBC Avion (Premium) Rewards points?

The RBC ION Visa Card earns cardholders decent Avion points per dollar spent on groceries, gas, rideshare, streaming services and more. Bonus points are also awarded upon account activation and once minimum spending requirements are met (conditions apply).

The coverage on this card is pretty basic, offering only purchase protection insurance and extended warranty insurance.

Benefits include gas discounts, extra Petro and Avion points at the pump, plus bonus Moi points at participating Moi Rewards stores and additional Be Well points on eligible Rexall purchases.

With no annual fee or income requirements, this RBC Avion Premium points earner is an extremely accessible option.

Unlike Avion Elite members, Avion Premium members don't have access to Avion's full airline partner catalogue. That being said, earners can still convert their points at a high cent-per-point value to WestJet.

To make this transfer, simply sign in to the Avion Rewards website and select the "Convert Your Points" tab.
