I have been waiting a month to be reimbursed by RBC for a ticket I purchased using the credit-point option. Was told initially 5 to 7 working days. They do not respond to any email inquiries. And keep getting the run around from the phone representatives. Never again will I use RBC Avion nor do I recommend it to anyone.
Two things I like about this card - that I can access the fast lane at certain airports, and - you get 1/2 price for non-economy seats. I always save my points and use them to buy business seats when I travel.

You get half the price for the business class. Every avion point = $2. This alone satisfies me. If you like to travel with premium seats this is the card!
This card is terrible. I have moved to Scotia Visa - way better. If you want to book your own trip (get cash back) then this is absolute rubbish. Will never return and will always select cash back cards over travel cards
We have been RBC visa infinite clients for years. Generally satisfied. Upgraded to the RBC Infinite Privilege card this past year and it has just been terrible. Cannot reach the Concierge service (gave up after a 30 minute hold on the phone), the travel agent has so many restrictions that it is difficult to use the point (more difficult than in the past). Last fall we wanted to book a Michelin 3 star restaurant in Italy. Called the Visa Concierge. They eventually got back to me that it was impossible. Except for the fact that I thought that I should also try booking it online since I was not hearing back and there were tables readily available. Disappointing. I asked to speak with a manager at Visa about these issues and was told no one was available and that they would have to call me back. Never did hear back. For the $750 fee per year, I don't think it's even close to being worth it.

Overall I like my Avion card and the value of the rewards. I'm a business card holder and this is my only product with RBC. As a result the services I get are very limited - I can't get online statements, I can't go back more than 30 days to see transactions, etc. I've talked to customer service and the only way to enhance my service offering is to add a bank account.
Rewards are good but not as easy to use as my personal Capital One Aspire credit card.
I use the RBC Avion Card on a daily basis for all expenses to collect Avion points for annual travels. Although, I ensure to pay off the card fully each time I utilize the card to avoid high interest fees. I strongly recommend this card to those who travel often!
I had had an Avion visa infinite privilege for many years. If you travel oversea every year, this card is worth the money because it comes with medical insurance and travel insurance lounge access.
