For cardholders whose HSBC World Elite Mastercard was previously converted to the RBC Avion Visa Infinite, they will receive another one-time Avion Rewards Travel Credit of up to $100 on April 8, 2026, and that credit will expire on April 7, 2027. This is already the third year RBC has kept issuing the credit — is RBC planning to keep doing this forever?!
This is really an unexpected bonus. It effectively brings the card’s annual fee down to about $20, and when you also factor in the no foreign transaction fee benefit, it makes perfect sense for most people to keep the card for at least one more year.
