New RBC Credit Card Offers (May 2026)

RBC has launched new welcome offers on five cards, including two of its most popular credit cards: the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Card and the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privilege Card.

Let’s dive into the new RBC credit card offers launched in May 2026.

RBC Avion Visa Infinite Card

The RBC Avion Visa Infinite card now has a welcome bonus of up to 70,000 Avion points earned through a segmented rewards structure:

• Get 35,000 Avion points on approval
• Earn 20,000 Avion points when you spend $5,000 in the first six months¹
• Earn 15,000 one-time anniversary bonus Avion points after 12 months of account opening

This is consistent with the highest welcome offer we have seen on this card, making this a great time to add one of the best travel credit cards in Canada to your wallet. 

Avion points can be redeemed for travel via RBC’s Air Travel Redemption Schedule, or transferred to other miles and points programs, including British Airways Avios, Cathay Asia Miles, WestJet Rewards, and American Airlines AAdvantage.

If you redeem points through the RBC Air Travel Redemption Schedule, 70,000 Avion points (which equate to $1,400) are enough for a round-trip flight to anywhere in Europe†. Taxes and fees are extra.

This offer has an expiry date of Jul 15, 2026.

RBC Avion Visa Platinum Card

The RBC Avion Visa Platinum card now has a welcome bonus of up to 70,000 Avion points earned through a segmented rewards structure:

• Get 35,000 Avion points on approval
• Earn 20,000 Avion points when you spend $5,000 in the first six months¹
• Earn 15,000 one-time anniversary bonus Avion points after 12 months of account opening

The RBC Avion Visa Platinum card is quite similar to the Avion Visa Infinite card, with a slightly lower earning rate and fewer benefits. However, it does not have an income requirement, making it a great option for those cardholders who do not have an annual personal income of at least $60,000 or an annual household income of at least $100,000, which is what is required for the RBC Avion Visa Infinite card.

This offer has an expiry date of Jul 15, 2026.
