Traveling is my absolute favourite thing to do~ I just love discovering new places and having different experiences! My one travel must have? My RBC Visa Infinite Avion card. It rewards me for my travels, which is amazing!
For my trip to L.A, I booked everything with my RBC Visa Infinite Avion card - From my flights to my hotel to my rental card, it was all booked with my Avion card, and by doing so my card gave me premium travel insurance while I was there, plus I got 1.25 points per dollar spent on my flight, hotel and car rental. This card is perfect for someone like me since it gives me the flexibility to redeem my points on anything from gift cards, to merchandise, to most importantly travel without blackout periods or flight restrictions- Which means I can already start planning my next trip with the points I have collected on this one! Such a bonus!
Being an Avioner definitely makes traveling so much easier, I travel when I want how I want - And my RBC Visa Infinite Avion card is accepted pretty much everywhere, which is always a relief when traveling. From my Disneyland tickets to my meals out to shopping on Rodeo Drive, I used it for everything!
I wanted to share a few of my favourite L.A Spots with you that I visited on this trip that I used my RBC Avion card for –
