RBC Avion Visa Infinite vs RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privilege
Two cards, one Standard Score rubric. The RBC Avion Visa Infinite scores higher overall at 7.2/10 — but the right pick depends on which components match your spending.
The verdict
StrongBoth earn the same Avion points against the same redemption chart. The two offers open identically — 35,000 points on approval, then 20,000 more on $5,000 in six months — but the Privilege layers a further 15,000 at your first anniversary, so it pays 70,000 to the Infinite's 55,000. That extra 15,000, plus lounge access, is what more than three times the fee buys. The standard Infinite captures most of the program's value at 30% of the fee.
