Top Questions About Avion

What makes Avion different?

Avion is not just a travel rewards card, it's a lifestyle. As an RBC Avion Visa Cardholder, you automatically get access to the best of everything—from best-in-class travel rewards, to exclusive offers and privileges, plus points on everyday purchases. And, unlike some other travel rewards programs, you can use your points to cover airline fees, taxes, hotels, car rentals, excursions, and more. The best part is that your points are not limited to just travel. You can use your points for virtually anything, like saving for the future, shopping for the latest tech, donating to your favourite charity and so much more—giving you more value, more freedom and more rewards.

Do my points ever expire?

No. Unlike other travel credit cards, your points never expire¹ and there's no limit to the points you can earn. This is part of our unwavering commitment to our clients. We want you to use your points where and when it's right for you.

Why is it so easy to redeem travel with Avion?

Travel is our passion too, and we want you to love using your points. We're here to help make your travel easier and more enjoyable. With Avion, there are no blackout periods, seat restrictions, or unnecessary stopovers. That means if there's a seat available, you're flying — even during peak seasons like March break and holidays.

Will I earn points quickly?

You'll earn points every time you make a purchase with your card. Plus, we're always introducing new ways of earning points faster so you can travel further. For example, earn 25% more points per $1 spent³ when using your RBC Avion Visa Infinite credit card for travel related purchases such as rental cars, flights and hotels. That's not all, instantly save 3¢/L on gas when you link your RBC Avion card to your Petro-Points⁷ card and start saving at Petro-Canada every time.
