The RBC British Airways companion ticket is on of the perks if you hold the RBC BA Visa card.  I wrote a review of the RBC British Airways Visa Infinite<\/a>.<\/strong> It’s one of Canada’s best travel credit cards if you fly BA a lot. But let’s see how this companion voucher works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s the RBC British Airways companion ticket?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

RBC British Airways Visa card holders who reach an annual spend of $30,000 in a calendar year will receive a Companion ticket. It’s also known as the Royal Bank of Canada Companion Voucher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The companion ticket will post into the member’s British Airways Executive Club account<\/strong><\/a> up to 8 weeks after meeting the spend requirement. The Companion Award eVoucher allows the member to book a companion airfare without having to pay for its required Avios miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an example, the Companion Award eVoucher for a Toronto-Amman one way flight will save a member 23,000 Avios.  The same redemption without an eVoucher would’ve cost the member and their flying partner 46,000 Avios. They still need to pay the taxes and charges for both travelers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This brings up the issue of high fees and constraints on the eVoucher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
