Reward points only cover base fare. Ticket price $1,300 = $800 Base fare, $500 taxes.
Need to redeem 65,000 points which is valued at $1,300. BUT only for base fare.
So I have to redeem 65,000 points valued $1,300 AND pay $500 out of pocket.
Why the distinction between taxes and base fare? No explanation.
When it all sinks in, you can't change your mind after 10 minutes. "Redemptions are final even if you won't receive the moeny for 5 more days."
ADVICE: Redeem only when the base is $1,300 or ask for $ to points redemption.
Both my wife and I have this credit card. We appreciate how quickly we accumulate rewards. We typically spend reward points for hotels and not for flights - it is the better use of our points. If we spend around $3,000 monthly, it gives us enough points at least once a year to stay for a few days in a good hotel in New York or in Europe. This credit card is not cheap but it comes with a good travel insurance protection so we typically do not buy a travel medical coverage. The RBC customer service is always top - very friendly and helpful.

I enjoy the card. They could increase their points though to two. Annual rate is high but other than that an effective card.
Excellent customer service. Always a pleasure to speak with on the phone when booking any trips. Very helpful and gets the best price
RBC visa infinite avion card is great because it gives awesome rewards for travel with their 1 mie for 1 dollar perk. I also have the option to pay back my outstanding balances with these points.

Dealing with billing issues is the only time I've had challenges with this card.
Again no issues here. We switched to this card 4 or 5 years ago and its been a great card. Easy to collect points and redeem.
The rewards system is flexible and easy to use

This card has been used for many years. Interest rate is reasonable. cash back value is good. we use it during international travel
The first experience for points redemption was terrible. First hard time trying to find the proper site to log in. My wife had to re-submit user name and password a time consuming process.
Wife tried to book on line and it came up with a ridiculous amount of fees and taxes. She opted out of the transaction at that point to discuss. When we tried to log in a few days later it took forever to get in... even using my card number and postal code, (kept telling me something was not accurate to log in. Somehow i finally broke into the redemption screen to try and book a flight and took so long to download available flights to point i kept thinking my computer was locked up. No contact available on Sunday. Waited to call on Monday and speak to an rewards agent. The whole process still took the better part of an hour and the screen was taking forever to download for her as well. To book a flight for two in Canada still took over an hour and all i have is a reference number
but no flight confirmation.
Also not insured under the card for flight cancellation by my understanding which is surprising as i thought this card came with trip interruption insurance built in.
Probably going to cancel my card and save the 120 annual fee.
