RBC Avion Visa Infinite vs TD First Class Travel 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

Strong

A contest of point quality versus headline size. Avion points are worth ~1.6¢ on the flight chart, while TD Rewards are fixed at 0.5¢ through Expedia for TD — so TD's six-figure bonus shrinks sharply once converted to dollars. Avion wins on point quality and flexibility; the TD wins if you want a large, simple first-year haul with a fee rebate.
