1This offer only applies to new applications for an RBC Avion Visa Infinite or RBC Avion Visa Platinum credit card (each, an “Eligible Credit Card”) approved by Royal Bank of Canada, subject to the conditions below. Additional cardholders(s) (co-applicant and authorized user(s)) on the Eligible Credit Card account, as well as existing cardholders on any RBC Royal Bank personal credit card transferring to an Eligible Credit Card account, are not eligible for this offer.

35,000 welcome Avion points (“Welcome Points”) will appear on your monthly credit card statement within sixty (60) days after your application has been approved, provided that your Eligible Credit Card account remains open and in good standing at the time the Welcome points are credited to your account, “good standing” meaning that your Credit Card Account must not be past due for more than two (2) consecutive credit card account statement periods, closed, charged off or in credit revoked status.


2Avion points are earned on qualifying net purchases only; they are not earned on cash advances (including balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges that you set up with a merchant) interest charges or fees, and credits for returns and adjustments will reduce or cancel the points earned by the amounts originally charged.


14Avion points will be forfeited if they remain unredeemed within twelve (12) months following the termination of the Avion Rewards program or after you voluntarily close your RBC Royal Bank credit card account.


Air Travel Reward redemptions from the Air Travel Redemption Schedule start at 35,000 Avion points for a round trip long-haul flight to almost anywhere in Canada or the United States, exclusive of Hawaii or Alaska, with a maximum ticket price of $750. All applicable taxes, service fees and surcharges are the responsibility of the traveller.
