About a week and a half ago we said you have 5 days left to get this card as the offer was to end on April 30 – that was based on the details we received from RBC – well the good news is RBC reached out to us yesterday to let us know that the offer will run until May 31st now!
This is one of
the best offers that we have seen for the RBC Visa Infinite Avion
card in a while! Even though there was a previous offer of 30,000 points it was not first year free and the bonus was split
between year 1 and year 2. This offer is 25,000 points on approval
(awarded on the first statement) and first year free which we feel is a
much better! Those 25,000 points equate to 25,000 British Airways Avios
at no cost! Or 250 WestJet dollars at no cost and that doesn’t even
take into account the transfer bonuses they run occasionally throughout
the year. And remember BA has household accounts so you and your spouse
could each get the card then convert to BA and combine the Avios into
one account for 50,000 or more Avios. There are just so many options
here….
If you have been tossing around the idea of getting this card and
haven’t really been sure now is the time as it will cost you nothing and
score you some decent rewards! This offer ends on May 31, 2018.
