New sign up bonus for the RBC Visa Infinite Avion – Up to 30,000 RBC Rewards Points
– RewardsCanada.ca
The RBC Visa Infinite Avion is one of the most popular travel points cards in Canada thanks to some heavy advertising on RBC’s part. This popularity had meant the card rarely if ever had a change to its basic sign up bonus. However that seems to be changing now as RBC seems to be feeling the heat from all the competition! For the summer the offered a $100 travel credit on top of the 15,000 point sign up bonus that normally comes with the card but as of today that offer is over to be replaced with a new one.Now when you apply for the RBC Visa Infinite Avion you can earn up to 30,000 Bonus RBC Rewards points. You’ll get 15,000 upon approval and then 15,000 more on your card anniversary date. Smart move on RBC’s part to try to get you to pay the annual fee twice but still a decent offer seeing what you can pull out of 30,000 RBC Rewards points.We have written quite extensively about the card over the years and as you may well know we rank it quite high in our annual Top Credit Card Rankings primarily due to the card being a hybrid card where you can convert those points to airlines such as British Airways…
