RBC's travel points, with transfers to WestJet, British Airways, American, and others.
Typical value
~1.5¢/pt (Elite) or ~0.58¢/pt (Premium/Select tiers)
Best for
WestJet flights and flexible travel redemptions.
Strategy tip: RBC now runs three tiers: Elite (Avion VI and up) is worth 1.5¢/pt and unlocks airline transfers. Premium (ION/ION+) is worth only ~0.58¢/pt and cannot transfer to airlines. Select (open enrollment, no RBC card needed) also has no airline transfer access. Note: Avion does NOT transfer to Aeroplan. If Air Canada is your main airline, an Aeroplan-earning card is a better fit.
