RBC GoSmart: Get $100 when you deposit $2,000

 

GoSmart is a mobile investing platform embedded directly inside the RBC Mobile app. It strips away all the complexity of traditional online brokerage platforms and gives you a clean, simple experience focused on the essentials: open an account, add money, and start investing — all in minutes. It is designed specifically for Canadians who want to start their investment journey without needing a finance degree. There are absolutely no account maintenance or administration fees — a common pain point with traditional brokerages.

You can buy or sell any Canadian or U.S.-listed stock or ETF with 50 free trades per year across all your GoSmart accounts. That's more than enough for most buy-and-hold investors who contribute monthly. On top of the 50 free trades, GoSmart offers 53+ ETFs that are always commission-free — including iShares all-in-one ETFs like XEQT, XGRO, XBAL, and XCNS, as well as crypto and gold ETFs. These can be traded as many times as you want without using up your 50-trade quota.

You can also set up automatic recurring contributions into one of four all-in-one ETFs — just choose the amount, frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly), and the RBC bank account to fund from. Want to pause? One click and it's done. This makes dollar-cost averaging completely effortless.

You could receive a cash reward of C$100 when you open your first GoSmart Account with RBC Direct Investing. To qualify, you must:

  • Open your first GoSmart account(s) with RBC Direct Investing before Nov 2, 2026
  • Contribute a minimum of C$2,000 to your new GoSmart account(s) before Feb 2, 2027.
  • Be a Canadian resident and at least the age of majority in your province/territory at the time of opening your first GoSmart account.

You will receive the C$100 cash reward in your first GoSmart account within 7 days of meeting the above qualification criteria.

Transfer RBC Avion Points to British Airways Avios with 30% Bonus

Deal Link: https://www.avionrewards.com/en-ca/lp/british-airways/

Expiry: Jun 19, 2026

If you hold an RBC Avion Visa Card (Only available to holders of the RBC Avion Visa Infinite, Avion Visa Infinite Privilege, or Avion Visa Platinum cards), one of the best moves you can make with your points is to transfer them to British Airways Avios — one of the most versatile airline currencies in the world.

RBC Avion points transfer to The British Airways Executive Club at a 1:1 ratio — meaning 10,000 Avion points becomes 10,000 Avios. Avios is the loyalty currency shared across the Oneworld Avios family, including British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Vueling, Qatar Airways, and Finnair — giving you enormous flexibility when it comes to redeeming for flights.

Once or twice a year, RBC runs a 30% transfer bonus promotion to British Airways Avios, typically in spring and around Black Friday. During this promotion, the transfer rate becomes 1:1.3, meaning 10,000 Avion points yields 13,000 Avios instead of the usual 10,000. The next promotion period is between May 11 and Jun 19, 2026. 

From my point of view, the RBC Avion to British Airways Avios transfer is one of Canada's best points transfer partnerships. The 1:1 base ratio is solid, and the periodic 30% transfer bonus makes it genuinely exceptional. Whether you're dreaming of flying Qatar Qsuites to the Middle East, island-hopping across Europe on the cheap, or saving on a US domestic connection, Avios gives you the tools to make it happen. The key is patience — accumulate your Avion points, wait for the next 30% transfer bonus, and then move your points when the time is right.

Note: The British Airways Executive Club account must be in the same name as the RBC cardholder. A minimum of 10,000 Avion points must be converted to qualify.

RBC Avion Visa Infinite Credit Card: $100 travel credit


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.

Expiry: Feb 4, 2026

To benefit from this offer, your application must be received and approved by Royal Bank of Canada between November 5, 2025 and February 4, 2026 (“Offer Period”). This offer only applies to new applications for a WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard.

You will receive up to 30,000 welcome WestJet points upon your first purchase (“Welcome WestJet Points”) distributed as follows: (i) 25, 000 Welcome WestJet Points up to six (6) weeks after your first purchase transaction date; and (ii) 5,000 Welcome WestJet Points up to twelve (12) weeks after your first purchase transaction date, provided your first purchase gets posted to your WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard credit card account (“Credit Card Account”) within the first three (3) months of your Credit Card Account opening date (“Period”).

Qualifying Transactions exclude cash advances (including balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges that you set up with a merchant), interest charges and fees, and credits for returns and adjustments posted to your Credit Card Account during the Period will reduce the amount of your Qualifying Transactions.

The transaction posting date of each Qualifying Transaction, not the transaction date, will determine whether the transaction will count towards the Qualifying Transaction Amount. This means that Qualifying Transactions that take place prior to the last day of the Period will not count towards the Qualifying Transaction Amount if they have not yet been posted or processed by the merchant, the payment network (Mastercard) or Royal Bank by the last day of the Period. You will receive an additional 10,000 WestJet points (“Anniversary WestJet Points”) up to sixteen (16) weeks after your Credit Card Account has been open for one (1) year.
