Here’s your RWRDS Canada update! Your near daily dose of loyalty program, credit card and travel news, bonuses, deals and more.
RBC ION+ Visa Card will move to an annual fee from monthly fee (No change in actual cost)
RBC has made a slight change to the RBC ION+ Visa Card due to new regulations in Quebec. Quebec no longer allows credit card issuers to charge monthly fees so RBC has got rid of the $4 per month moved and moved to a $48 annual fee. Rather than just making the change for Quebec residents as we saw with the American Express Cobalt Card, RBC has decided to make things easy and apply the $48 annual fee to all cardholders across Canada.
