The RBC Avion Visa Platinum card earns Avion Rewards points that can be redeemed against travel purchases or transferred to popular frequent flyer programs.
Rewards Rates
The RBC Avion Visa Platinum card earns Avion Rewards points for all purchases made on the card:
- Earn 1 Avion Rewards point for every dollar spent on all purchases on the card.
Redeeming Avion Rewards Points
Avion Rewards points are a valuable and flexible currency that can be transferred to several frequent flyer programs to maximize their value.
Avion Rewards points can be transferred to frequent flyer programs at the following rates:
- American Airlines AAdvantage at a 1:0.7 ratio
- British Airways Avios at a 1:1 ratio
- Cathay Pacific Asia Miles at a 1:1 ratio
- WestJet Rewards at a 1:1 ratio
Members who are interested in redeeming their Avion Rewards points for flights can utilize the RBC Air Travel Redemption Schedule, where a fixed number of points can be used to cover an airline ticket up to a set dollar value.
RBC Avion points can also be redeemed for gift cards, merchandise, statement credits, and more, but the value of these redemption methods is far less than using these points for travel or transferring them to a partner frequent flyer program.
