RBC VISA Infinite Avion Consumer Reviews

This complaint regarding Avion comes after several attempts to use points and book flights over the past 18 months. In each instance, I chose to purchase my tickets directly from the airline instead of using Avion points. The reasons. Many flights that are available from the airlines are not made available through Avion. As a result, Avion booked flights have less connectivity, longer layover times and inconvenient scheduling. The next biggest issue has been the Surcharges on top of points usage for every flight option. Ironically, the surcharges themselves are often more expensive than booking tickets directly from the airline. That doesn't take into consideration the additional Avion points charged on top of those surcharges. Finally, my recent experience booking through Avions Expedia link has resulted in booking me into a hotel that on arrival had no rooms available. The error itself was frustrating but resolvable. Problem was, connecting with Expedia is impossible and their chatbot has very limited ability to resolve anything. Despite many efforts and long hours attempting to communicate with Expedia, it was necessary to charge back the credit card. Don't get me started on the customer service avoidance process that RBC uses to frustrate complaints. After multiple hours online and at least two hangup by RBC staff after being on hold, I was finally able to implement the charge back to Expedia. They never responded. In my sincere and experienced opinion, I suggest not signing on to RBC AVION. In fact, I suggest ditching them.

I've tried and tried but I wasted 2 days on the phone. On the first day 2 hours on the line and after getting connected an incompetent person as expected transferred me to another department for no reason I was on the line for 3 hours and finally, I gave up. The next day which is today Aug 8, 2022, I've been on the line to talk to someone for 3 hours already. I hate this freaking RBC scam. This is absolutely unacceptable. I will definitely close my RBC bank account and this useless visa with the stupid point promise. Frustrating...

I have been dealing with fraud on my card for almost a year now. I have had multiple transactions (all the same) made on my card and I have called in multiple times to dispute the charges made... But every time they wouldn't have a clue what I was talking about! I decided I was sick of it and cancelled and closed my card back in the summer. It is December now and my card was not closed like they said they were going to do and those same transactions that keep showing up on my card (a card I do not have because I closed it) are on my card again! Customer Service keeps juggling me around and no one still has a damn clue what I am talking about. I have been on the phone put on hold multiple times for over an hour and am still holding!!
