What The Card Is

Read off RBC on 6 September 2026, in their words before mine.

The Owners Are Personally On The Hook

RBC’s business credit card agreement states the applicant and each owner are “jointly and severally … liable to us for all Debt charged to the Account, no matter how it is incurred or who has incurred it”. Employee cardholders who are not owners carry no repayment obligation. This is not a no personal guarantee corporate card and it does not pretend to be.

The Qualification Test Is Or, Not And

RBC requires one of: personal income of $60,000, household income of $100,000, business sales revenue of $500,000, assets under management of $250,000, or current annual credit card spend of $30,000. A personal income of $60,000 alone qualifies. There is no hard business revenue floor.

The Cap Resets In January, Not On Your Anniversary

RBC defines the annual period as “the twelve (12) full monthly statement periods each year, starting with your January monthly statement”, and states the count “will automatically reset to zero” on the first day of the January statement. A business approved in October gets a few weeks of accelerated earn before the reset.

It Is One Flat Rate

1.25 points per dollar on everything to $75,000, then one point per dollar uncapped. No bonus for fuel, office supplies, advertising or travel. The only uplift is twenty percent more Avion points at Petro-Canada.

The Arithmetic On $175

Where the points are actually worth something, in RBC’s own numbers.

The Floor Is A Cent A Point

RBC’s baseline for travel booked outside the schedule is 100 points to $1. At 1.25 points per dollar that is 1.25 percent back, which pays the $175 fee at $14,000 of spend.

The Redemption Schedule Is Where The Value Is

A short haul return from 15,000 points against a $350 ticket cap is 2.3 cents a point. Europe from 65,000 points against a $1,300 cap is two cents. The card earns its fee on the schedule, not on the baseline.

Ten Cards Cost $850, Not $175

Nine additional cards at $75 each on top of the $175 base. The first year waiver RBC offers is stated for the primary business owner only, so the supplementary fees appear to stand.

The Welcome Offer Runs In Four Tranches

25,000 on approval, 20,000 on first purchase within three months, 20,000 at $5,000 within three months, 35,000 at $15,000 within six months, plus the first year fee exemption for the primary owner. RBC values the package at up to $2,175.

The Case Against Carrying It

Same standard as every other page here.

The Lounge Access Includes No Visits

RBC states “All lounge visits, for the Cardholder and their accompanying guests, are subject to a fee of $32 USD (subject to change) per person, per visit”. Access to 1,300 lounges is a membership that lets you pay, not lounge access. This site said otherwise on the card stack page until today.

Emergency Medical Runs Fifteen Days, And Three At Sixty Five

The dollar benefit is unlimited, which sounds generous. The window is fifteen consecutive days under 65 and three consecutive days at 65 and over. The duration is the binding constraint, not the limit.

One Flat Rate Means No Category Fits Well

A business with heavy fuel, software or advertising spend earns the same 1.25 as one buying paper. Cards built around business categories will beat it on a category, and lose to it on simplicity.

The Cap Is $75,000 And Businesses Spend More Than That

Above the cap it is a one percent card. For a business running real volume, most of the year may be at the lower rate.

How It Sits In A Stack

Not advice. How this card reads next to the others published here.

It Is The Only Business Card Published Here

Everything else on this list is a personal card. The comparison that matters is against putting business spend on a personal card, which is a bookkeeping problem before it is a rewards one.

Spend Clarity Is The Real Feature

Per employee spending controls, transaction limits and receipt capture across ten cards is worth more to most operators than the difference between 1.25 and two percent.

Do Not Buy It For The Lounges

Buy it for the reporting, the controls and the redemption schedule. The lounge line is a discount programme.

What Could Not Be Confirmed

In circulation, and not on the issuer page. Printed rather than dropped.

Whether Business Avion Points Transfer To Airline Partners

RBC publishes transfer ratios to American Airlines, WestJet, British Airways and Cathay Pacific on its general Avion page, addressed to an RBC Avion Visa Cardholder. No RBC statement was found confirming or denying that points from this business card are transfer eligible. Do not assume they are.

Whether Any Accounting Integration Exists

RBC describes reporting and receipt capture and names no accounting software integration on the product page. No QuickBooks, Xero or Sage connection could be confirmed either way.

Whether The $75,000 Cap Is Per Account Or Per Card

RBC states the cap applies to net purchases per annual period without saying whether it is measured across the primary and up to nine supplementary cards together. Not found.

Whether business Avion points transfer to airline partners could not be confirmed and is published above as unconfirmed. No figure on this page comes from a comparison site. Cody Wise does not hold this card.

Common Questions

$175 a year, with a first year exemption for the primary business owner under the current offer, and $75 for each additional card up to a maximum of nine. Read off RBC on 6 September 2026.

1.25 Avion points per $1 in net purchases up to a maximum of $75,000 per annual period, and one Avion point per $1 above that, uncapped. Twenty percent more Avion points at Petro-Canada.

On the first day of your January monthly statement. RBC defines the annual period as the twelve full monthly statement periods starting with the January statement, not the card anniversary.

No. RBC enrols cardholders in the Visa Airport Companion Program, and states all lounge visits for the cardholder and accompanying guests are subject to a fee of $32 US per person per visit.

RBC states the applicant and each owner are jointly and severally liable for all debt charged to the account, however it is incurred and by whoever incurs it. Cardholders who are not owners are not responsible for repayment.

A Rate Is Not A Return
Until You Spend There.

Every accelerated rate in Canada is a rate on one category. The only question that matters is whether that category is where your money actually goes.
