RBC Avion Visa Infinite vs TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite
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
StrongThe classic entry-level travel-card question: a flexible points program versus a single airline's currency. Avion's redemption chart can clear 2¢ on short-haul flights and points transfer to Avios and WestJet, giving it more places to go; the TD Aeroplan card answers with a free checked bag on Air Canada and preferred Aeroplan redemption pricing that Avion can't touch. Air Canada regulars take the TD; everyone who wants optionality takes the Avion.
