Two new RBC Offers for Petro-Canada and Saxx

There were two new RBC Offers added recently and many more offers have been extended for 2024 – too many to list here but you can see them all here!

Petro-Canada
Spend $500 or more at Petro-Canada on fuel, car washes, or convenience store purchases in January and you will earn 5,000 bonus Petro-Points when you pay with your linked RBC debit or credit card*.

Saxx
From now until April 1, 2024, get a 15% statement credit at SAXX online when you pay with your eligible RBC credit card(s).* Simply load this offer before you shop. Limit of 1 offer per client.

Be sure to login to your RBC account right away to load these offers or get the promo codes if required. These offers have also been added to our official Guide to RBC Royal Bank ‘RBC Offers’

Personally I received these offers on the WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard. Most if not all should also be available for RBC’s most popular card the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Card and other RBC cards.
