You can get yourself $10 for free if you haven’t joined Avion Select yet! Any Canadian who is not an Avion Rewards member can sign up for their free account and receive this bonus. Sorry, RBC clients, as most of you are already members this offer will not work for you.
How to earn the $10 welcome bonus
Earning the bonus is very easy! Simply join the program via this link and then link a payment card or cards (from other financial institutions) to the account by June 15, 2024. That’s it. That’s all it takes to get the $10 bonus.
Now that you have done that and your account is set up you will need to earn at least five more dollars as the minimum cash out amount for an e-transfer from Avion Select is $15. That cash back can be earned via card linked offers or shopping online via their portal to earn cash back.
If you are familiar with RBC’s old Ampli program or the AIR MILES Card Linked offers program you’ll be familiar with Avion Select’s card linked offers as they work the same. The advantage that RBC has over AIR MILES is that you can link many different cards, whether Visa, Mastercard or American Express whereas AIR MILES is Mastercard only.
About Avion Select
Avion Select is the newest tier of the Avion Rewards program that launched in 2023 and it allows any Canadian to join the program without having to be an RBC client. The program allows you to earn cash back and Avion Rewards points for shopping online and/or using your linked payment cards at various merchants who are on offer at the time. I won’t go into complete detail here on Avion Select since we have numerous posts about the program which you can read at your leisure:

Wrapping it up
I guess this offer has been around since late January but somehow I missed it until I received an email today from RBC with the offer. “Frishm Grishm Flazhem Flap” or however Fred Flintstone liked to grumble his expletives is what played through my mind when I saw this $10 offer come across in my email. Which in itself surprised me since I am already an Avion Select member but RBC is now going full bore promoting Avion Select with this welcome bonus offer. Of course, I joined right when it launched – with no bonus and based on the terms this offer is for new Avion Rewards members only, so no luck for me!
But if you haven’t joined yet, now’s the time to do so to score a little extra cash.
