The Avion Rewards program is offered by the Royal Bank of Canada. The use of Avion points is subject to the Avion Rewards Terms & Conditions. You cannot earn Avion points through RBC Direct Investing (RBC DI). You may only use your points through RBC DI to: (1) pay for trade commissions on your eligible RBC DI accounts; or (2) transfer points to cash contributions to your eligible RBC DI accounts. It is your responsibility to make sure you have sufficient contribution room within your registered plan when transferring points to cash contributions to your registered accounts and/or when you use your Avion points to pay for trade commissions on a registered account. The Canada Revenue Agency may apply tax penalties for over-contributions. RBC Direct Investing is not responsible for any such penalties.
