Why this card stands out

For Canadians who travel a few times per year, the main appeal is control. Avion points can be used toward flights, hotels, car rentals, merchandise, gift cards, statement credits, and other options RBC may support. That flexibility makes the card easier to use than a card that only works well with one airline.

The card also has a premium positioning. It carries an annual fee, but that fee can be reasonable for someone who values travel insurance, Visa Infinite benefits, and the ability to collect rewards on regular purchases before redeeming for a larger trip.

Feature	What to know
Annual fee	$120 annual fee
Best use	Travel rewards and flexible Avion point redemptions
Rewards focus	Avion points on purchases, with elevated earning on eligible travel and everyday spending categories depending on current RBC terms
Main watchout	The annual fee only makes sense if you will use the travel value and benefits.

Who should consider it

• You want travel rewards instead of simple cash back
• You can justify a premium annual fee
• You meet Visa Infinite eligibility expectations
• You want flexible redemption options
• You travel enough to care about insurance and benefits

This is not the cheapest card on the list, and it is not designed for someone who only wants no-fee cash back. It is stronger for applicants who already spend enough on a credit card to build meaningful points and who want those points to be useful for travel.

Before you apply

Before applying, compare the annual fee, current welcome offer, insurance certificate, income requirement, and point redemption rules. If you rarely travel or usually carry a balance, a no-fee cash back card may be simpler.
