Credit card welcome offers change frequently and RBC has launched a new welcome offer on two of their credit cards: the RBC Avion Visa Infinite card and the WestJet RBC® World Elite Mastercard.
Let’s dive into the new RBC credit card offers launched in August 2024.
RBC Avion Visa Infinite Card
The RBC Avion Visa Infinite card now has a welcome bonus of up to 55,000 Avion points earned through a segmented rewards structure. This offer has an expiry date of Nov 25, 2024.
The RBC Avion Visa Infinite card earns Avion Elite points and gives cardholders the opportunity to earn 1.25x Avion Elite points on all travel purchases. In 2024, we awarded this card as the Best Flexible Points Travel Credit Card.

The new welcome bonus is structured as follows:
- Earn 35,000 Avion points upon approval
- Earn 20,000 bonus points when you spend $5,000 in your first 6 months*
This is consistent with the highest welcome offer we have seen on this card, making this a great time to add one of the best travel credit cards in Canada to your wallet.
Avion points can be redeemed for travel via RBC’s Air Travel Redemption Schedule, or transferred to other miles and points programs including British Airways Avios, Cathay Asia Miles, WestJet Rewards, and American Airlines AAdvantage.
If you redeem points through the RBC Air Travel Redemption Schedule, 55,000 Avion points (which equates to $1,100) are enough for a round-trip flight to anywhere in North America, Mexico, Bermuda, Central America, or the Caribbean†. Taxes and fees are extra.
WestJet RBC® World Elite Mastercard
The WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard now has a welcome bonus of up to 700 WestJet dollars. This offer has an expiry date of Oct 30, 2024.
The WestJet RBC® World Elite Mastercard earns WestJet dollars and offers cardholders benefits on WestJet flights including an annual companion fare and a first free checked bag.

- Earn 100 WestJet dollars as a one-time anniversary bonus1
The WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard also provides cardholders with a complimentary WestJet Companion Voucher upon approval and every anniversary year thereafter. This companion voucher gives the cardholder the opportunity to book a companion fare at a reduced rate when paying full price for their own flight on the same itinerary. WestJet Rewards dollars can also be redeemed in conjunction with a companion voucher to save even more.
The cardholder will receive one free checked bag for themselves and up to 8 guests on WestJet flights, provided they are all booked on the same itinerary. This makes the card a great way to save on WestJet baggage fees.

Can you hold more than one of the same card? I have an Avion Visa Infinite with a shared user (additional card fee) and I am interested in 1. removing my partner as the additional card holder 2. having the ex-additional-card-holder apply for their own AVI. 3. If I can product switch my AVI to something else, can I then apply for a new AVI of my own?
Would any #2 or #3 result in the 55,000 bonus for either my partner or myself?
Thanks!
Hi. I’m wondering if you’ve had experience or known someone to get the SUB on these cards more than once in a short period (as long as you follow the 90 day application rule)? I got the plat and infinite in spring last year, but canceled them in October and I’m hoping to signup for them again soon.
