Search RBC. Personal Banking. Contact Us Location. It is important to clarify that "RBC Rewards" and "Points" mean the same thing and will be used interchangeably. There is no easy answer to this question, as the dollar value of your points is determined by what flights you redeem them for.
Here is an RBC Rewards redemption chart summarizing what we found:. There is a large discrepancy in the dollar value of your points when redeeming for flights in different flight regions. The example below will demonstrate how to properly value your points and will show the difference in value when redeeming for a flight to Vancouver compared with a flight to Paris. The RBC Rewards program has a unique system of stratifying flight regions based on ticket prices in that region.
There are 6 separate regions, each with an individual set number of rewards points required for airline travel, up to a maximum ticket price.
The same holds true for airline taxes and fees as they can be paid for either with points or in cash. Find the price of a flight on Kayak we use this flight price because if you did not book through RBC you would have your choice of booking through any provider rather than just Travelocity.
Add the points required for taxes to the general RBC point requirement for a comparable flight RBC allows you to pay for the additional taxes with points. That said, be sure to use up your points before you make any changes. RBC Rewards is one of the best bank travel rewards programs. Barry Choi is a Toronto-based personal finance and travel expert who frequently makes media appearances. You can find him on Twitter: barrychoi. What I mean is you get travel medical, trip accident, trip cancellation, lost luggage, etc.
Barry choi, What about outright flight cancellation by company with no booking possibility? What do you mean by company with no booking possibility? With fight cancellation, it only applies to reasons that are outlined in your insurance policy. When should I pay for a flight as opposed to redeeming points. I want to go to Vancouver — Honolulu -L. Looking to cash out or use these points up somehow with the best value.
You lose all your points if you cancel your card. Your best bet would be to transfer your points to WestJet Dollars or hotels. Do you have any idea who should be awarding the points? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. I live in Vancouver and typically fly to Hawaii in Winter and Europe in summer. Your insight is much appreciated.
As far as I know there are no additional charges or rules, but read the fine print before you commit. That is incorrect. The reference to points expiring after 3 years is old and should have been removed from the website. How is it possible to end up with a negative reward points balance?? I have never even used my rewards and forgot that it was even available. Any help would be appreciated.
Who do you bank with? Do they waive the fee for any cards? I figure the cashback we get each year more than pays for the annual fee. What does RBC Avion offer that justifies its fee? It seems as if it would take a long time to build up any significant number of points. However, that may be redundant since you have the Amex Gold which also has a fixed points program. How would you compared the two fixed points program? I also feel that the Amex Gold has more to offer than the RBC card in terms of travel insurance and flexibility on how to use points.
But I may be wrong…. Both programs have their sweet spots. Amex is arguably better since you have more transfer partners. The Amex Gold has a slightly higher earn rate on travel. Is there anyway I can browse through options for say a vacation package, that would be qualified for if I had points? RBC only offered a few very poor flight options. I have never encountered this before. We ended up buying new flights from the airline after spending over 30 minutes on hold, suffering through a painfully frustrating conversation with an agent and draining the battery on my phone.
Is it instantaneous or do you have to wait weeks? I have around k in avion points. I am trying to figure out the best option for using them as we are moving to Europe for a year. I was wondering if it was best to use them while we are there for short trips. So, what would be the best value?
Points for flights to Europe are typically of low value due to the fees. Alternatively, you could convert your points to WestJet dollars at a ratio. On occasion, there are promos where you can convert to hotels. We also have 90, in Aeroplan. Traveling with a 15 month old so really wanted to optimize for lie-down seats. But they are pricey. Flying from Toronto to Europe is one of the worst redemptions regardless of the program due to high airport taxes.
The best value I can think of right now and this is honestly not the greatest solution is to consider transferring your points to WJD. If you have the WestJet World Elite Mastercard, you can use the companion voucher for premium economy. We have Avion points. With Aur Canada. Just remember, your flights must originate from Canada or the US. Booking has to be done through RBC Rewards travel. Booking online is free.
Booking has to be done 14 days in advance of departure date. Tickets are non-refundable , meaning that you will not get a statement credit or points back if you end up having to cancel your trip. However, you will get the monetary value back if you buy cancellation and interruption insurance, if you want to have that option.
You can change or cancel tickets for a fee. If you wish to purchase points to reach a redemption threshold, you must have at least half the required amount of points for your destination.
There is a minimum of 1, and maximum of 15, for purchasing points. Disclaimer: The responses below are not provided or commissioned by the bank advertiser.
