Welcome aboard the Executive Club. Now that you're a member, it's time to start reaping the benefits and there is no better place to start than with the RBC British Airways Visa Infinite card.
Apply now and you'll receive 15,000 Avios upon approval and through this exclusive email offer only, get an extra 15,000 Avios if you spend $5,000 in your first two months^. Plus, earn even more Avios with every purchase you make*.
so that's double the bonus signup-points from the usual 15k on the RBC website, but with a somewhat harsh 5k in 2 months spending requirement? It doesn't list an expiry date for the offer, but check your emails! of note, also: This offer is only available to new RBC British Airways Visa Infinite cardholders. Additional cardholders, as well as existing RBC British Airways Visa Infinite cardholders as of the offer eligibility period, are not eligible for this offer.
so that's like 900-1200 (depending on how you value Avios, 0.03-0.04c/M) for a 165 annual fee if you can get the spending. Anyone else get this email? Think it might be highly targeted so I'm a bit wary about posting my personal link haha
Avios is definitely not worth 0.03-0.04cpm. You can buy them from 0.01-0.02cpm on redemption for most awards.
Also, why has no one mentioned the Capital One Delta Skymiles CC?
That's probably one of the best cards right now, even in comparison to the US, since it earns 2 miles per dollar on all spending. With the Canadian dollar at 0.80-0.85, that makes it nearly 2.4 miles per USD.
Even if you don't like Skypesos, even valuing it at 1cpm (which it's not), it would still be the best card for value delivered.
