For Avion infinite privilege its 1.25 points per dollar spent ( normally 1 points per dollar, 1.25 for travel with the standard card which I have ).Originally posted by sabad66
How are you getting 2.5-2.9% back on Avion? Last time i looked into it, Avion was 1.5-2% max
15,000 points is 350 dollar redemption on adjacent province, which is 2.9% for infinite privilege or 2.3% for regular infinite. This is the tier with the best redemption which is why i use it most for things like flights to Van or Kelowna.
All the other tiers are 2.5% for privilege and 2% for infinite.
Those numbers do assume you go over the max ticket cost for each tier which in my experience is very common for direct flights.
Correct me if my Marth is wrong. Overall I think the privilege, other benefits not considered ( i consider them bonuses, makes sense if you spend more than 60k on the card a year for primary cardholder + secondary scenario.
Also I factor in my VIP banking package with RBC which rebates me the entire cost of the avion or 120+50 for the infinite privilege, I get great use out of that package as well.
Not trying to make the argument that its the best rewards card out there. But it works well for me.
