How do I Choose the Right Avion Rewards Credit Card?	There are a few things to consider when choosing a credit card that earns Avion Points: What type of rewards are you interested in? Do you want a card focused on travel rewards and offers? Are you looking to redeem points for merchandise like computers, gaming equipment, kitchen appliances, and everyday essentials? Or maybe you want to use points to pay your bills faster. Consider the types of rewards you want to earn, and which card will help you meet your goals. Is there an annual fee? Some cards have a $0 annual fee and still earn Avion Points. Premium cards tend to earn points faster and offer more benefits, but at a higher annual fee. When considering a card, think about whether the benefits outweigh the annual fee. Is there a minimum income requirement? Premium Avion Rewards credit cards have higher income requirements, but offer a broader suite of benefits like insurance coverage and superior redemption rates for travel. Check whether you meet necessary requirements before applying. You can also enjoy fuel savings at Petro-Canada, bonus Be Well points at Rexall, and purchase security and extended warranty benefits with your RBC credit card. To decide on the best card for your needs, weigh the annual fee, your household income, and the type of rewards the card offers. You can use our credit card comparison tool for extra help.
