The RBC ION Visa card earns 1.5 Avion points on grocery purchases, transportation purchases, digital purchases, and more.
Earning Avion Points
The RBC ION Visa credit card earns Avion points for all purchases made on the card:
- 1.5 Avion points for every dollar spent on:
- Grocery purchases
- Gas, rideshare, daily public transit, and electric vehicle charging purchases
- Streaming, gaming, eligible digital subscriptions, eligible digital downloads, and in-game purchases
- 1 Avion point for every dollar spent on all other eligible purchases
Redeeming Avion Points
Avion points that are earned on the RBC ION Visa credit card are a slightly different currency than the Avion points that are earned on Premium Avion credit cards, and thus, they have different and more restrictive redemption options.
Avion points can be transferred to the WestJet Rewards loyalty program at a 1:1 ratio (meaning 100 Avion points will equal 100 WestJet points).
RBC Avion points can also be redeemed for travel, 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.
