On Jul 31st we saw the end of the last first year free offer for the RBC Visa Infinite Avion
card, essentially it offered 25,000 points for free. That offer expired
to be replaced by the standard card offer but now we have new bonus to let you know about! This time you can get 20,000 points and
have the first year free but you’ll have to put some spend on the card
this time. When approved you’ll get 15,000 points then when you spend
$1,000 on the card in the first three months you’ll be awarded with 5,000 more points for 20,000 total – and the first year annual fee is
waived. This is the same process as the June/July offer except it is 5,000 points less. Still to get 20,000 points for free is a great deal that is assuming the $1,000 in spending you put on the card is spending
you would do otherwise. This is an easily achievable spend requirement
only only $333.33 per month so if you missed out on the offer that ended
in July this next one is as close as you’ll get to it and is still really
good to take advantage of.
Those 20,000 points will equate to 20,000 British Airways Avios
at no cost (or more when they run their transfer bonuses)! Or 200 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 40,000 or more Avios. Remember that you can get really cheap Avios redemptions to Dublin from Toronto and Montreal on Aer Lingus. There are just so many options
here….
