Reward Program

Avion Points

Flexible Points Canadian program

RBC's travel points, with transfers to WestJet, British Airways, American, and others.

Typical value

~1.5¢/pt (Elite) or 0.58¢/pt (Select)

Best for

WestJet flights and flexible travel redemptions.

Strategy tip: Two tiers matter a lot: Elite (Avion VI and up) is worth 1.5¢/pt and unlocks airline transfers. Select (ION/ION+) is worth only 0.58¢/pt and cannot transfer to airlines at all. Note: Avion does NOT transfer to Aeroplan. If Air Canada is your main airline, an Aeroplan-earning card is a better fit.
