Looks like they got rid of the $400 fee and even the entire fee if you have a VIP access account. Likewise they don't mention the 2% cashback option. WHat about the Out of country/province insurance - is that 15 days per trip or over the entire year? ...

Overall looks like a minimally steroid-pumped normal avion card IMO

Can anyone please at this point still make an arguement for dropping the regular Avion for the Infinite? I'd really appreciate it.

Anyway, here's the current spiel on the RBC Visa Infinite Avion Card (http://www.rbcroyalbank.com/RBC:SJNH...nite.html#fees) :
