The 10% off British Airways flights can be a good offer. But let’s see how it is to be used and let’s check the attached conditions.
In the RBC British Airways Visa card review, I have listed a series of perks that the card provides. Personally, the one I like the most is the 10% discount on British Airways flights. As I travel most of the time with my family, the discount amount can be significant.
10% off what precisely?
The exclusive discount applies to British Airways-operated flights only. Also, just like the companion ticket, flights have to depart from Canada. Therfore, don’t expect a discount if you attempt to book a Canada inbound, oneworld or interline partner flight.
The discount applies :
- To World Traveller, World Traveller Plus, Club World or First;
- Up to 8 travelers in the same booking;
- On multi destination or multi cities bookings;
- On the entire fare, which includes the applied taxes, fees and charges!
How to get the 10% discount
A promo code is necessary to get the discount. Canadians have to type promo code CARDOFFERC. The discount will apply as the booking page refreshes with new rate.
Below is an airfare example of a Montreal to Copenhagen return flight. The original price is $1,113.68.
Type CARDOFFERC in the Promotion code box (above on the left hand side), then click submit.
The 10% discount applies on the total price. The new price is now $1,002.32 after a promotion value of $111.36.
I have used that discount many time to fly to European summer destinations and Dubai with my family. The accumulated amount of savings is significant.
That’s on top of the top-notch service and favorable family policy we’re enjoyed with our 2 small children: generous luguage allowance even for toddler without a seat, free seat selection with access to seats with baby cots and priority boarding.
Conclusion
The 10% off purchased British Airways flights is the best perk of the RBC British Airways Visa card . Although it’s restricted to BA operated flights it can come handy if your future travels are well served by the airliner.
No other credit card offers that discount, not even an Aeroplan branded one, which the dominant travel loyalty program in Canada.

Hi
I have the RBC B.A visa card and its not been accepting CARDOFFERC since beginning of October. Have you heard if its cancelled.
RBC says call B.A and B.A says call RBC and no one can tell me if the promo code is still accepted. Cheers.
Hi! Did you make a booking from Canada? It worked for me. I did YUL-DXB RT and I got the 10% off. Make sur you book from a Canadian ORIGIN ONLY.
