The everyday story behind the card
Consider a traveller who flies a few times a year but does not always use the same airline. Flexibility may matter more to them than a card that only makes sense with a single travel partner.
Avion points can be used in several ways, but redemption value may depend on the travel booking method and the fare. Instead of assuming every point has a fixed cash value, compare a trip you would really book using points versus paying cash.

How this plays out in a Canadian budget
A person planning visits to family across Canada may prefer flexible travel dates. Someone who rarely books flights might value uncomplicated cash back instead. The annual fee is only worthwhile when you make practical use of the benefits.
The fine print you should not skip
Check the C$60,000 personal or C$100,000 household income requirement, insurance eligibility, covered reasons for trip cancellation, foreign currency fees and any limitations in travel redemption charts.
Three questions to answer before applying
- Are you likely to redeem points for actual travel purchases?
- Do you meet the stated income requirements?
- Do the insurance benefits cover the kind of trips you take?
Before you continue
Read the current cardholder agreement, latest offer, applicable spending caps and any provincial differences on the issuer’s website. Approval depends on the issuer’s assessment; Credys cannot determine your eligibility. Rewards are generally not worth carrying an interest-bearing balance.
