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!
Most people just don't know what they are talking about! This card is $400 per year. For $400 a YR PLUS I get up to $120 additional rebate dependent on your banking package and your tenure with RBC you just can't beat the Avion privilege! This card is better than ANY OTHER BANKS versions! This card is loaded with fine perks nearly as good as the AMEX PLATINUM for much less!!! The concierge service could be better as most of the time I know more than they do about there portal etc! They need to be more sophisticated etc. They've hired average employees, unfortunately, pretending to be professional with you but they are not...
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

I do not recommend this upgrade. This card is a joke. $399 annually for hardly anything that is of use. First of all, the "concierge" is useless you are put on hold and have to wait "due to current call volumes" thanks! Secondly, did you know that anyone can park in the "Visa Infinite Privilege" parking spots at the airport!? I was told specifically it was complimentary by the "concierge" over the phone the day prior as I had inquired. So that tells me what else is really a "benefit" for $399 a year nothing. Do not waste your money or time getting this card if you are thinking about it. It is highly disappointing, to say the least.
My current Private Banking Visa Infinite visa gives me 2% redemtion towards all inclusive packages including "taxes". The new card cuts the redemtion to 1%, merely depleting my point value to 50% of the original card.
I would go with the TD Travel Visa where you get 1.5% towards ANY travel including third partied like sell-off-vacations and is a fraction of the annual fee.
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 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.
