Visa Infinite vs. Visa Infinite Privilege: What Are the Differences?

When you’re looking to add a new card to your loyalty wallet, and you’re in the market for something a little more premium, you’ve likely looked at the Visa Infinite and Visa Infinite Privilege options that are on offer.
While both types of Visas are available through multiple Canadian banks and have a minimum income requirement, the Visa Infinite Privilege cards set that access barrier all the way up at a six-figure personal income requirement.
Given this, one would assume that these high-end cards offer considerably more than their Visa Infinite relatives, which require a considerably more approachable minimum personal income requirement — but is this actually the case?
In this article, we’ll compare the differences across all relevant areas to see which type of Visa suits you best.

Visa Infinite vs. Visa Infinite Privilege
Here is how Visa Infinite cards and Visa Infinite Privilege cards compare, category by category.
Minimum Income Requirements
As mentioned above, Visa Infinite cards and Visa Infinite Privilege cards both require that you meet a minimum income threshold in order to be eligible.
These minimum income requirements are:
- Visa Infinite: $60,000 personal or $100,000 household
- Visa Infinite Privilege: $150,000 personal or $200,000 household
As you can see, to be eligible the Visa Infinite Privilege tier of cards, you need a whopping 2.5x the personal income requirement requested by the Visa Infinite tier, making these cards inaccessible to most people.
Annual Fees
In terms of annual fees, you can expect the following ranges across all Canadian banks:
- Visa Infinite: $99 to $150 (occasionally waived for the first year)
- Visa Infinite Privilege: $395 to $599
It’s worth noting that some banks offer a partial rebate on the Visa Infinite Privilege annual fee if you’re a member or if you hold a specific type of account.
That said, these are still considerable expenses just to have a credit card, so let’s continue our exploration of these cards to see if these fees are justified and if these are cards you could keep year after year.
Available Card Options
There are over 20 different Visa Infinite cards available through banks and credit unions in Canada, while, comparatively, there are only around 10 Visa Infinite Privilege cards.
From this we can understand that there is more diversity in the Visa Infinite offerings and their characteristics than there is with the Visa Infinite Privilege cards.
Most notably this means that there is more choice in rewards programs at the Visa Infinite tier, including different programs available within the same bank. For example, both CIBC and RBC offer three different Visa Infinite cards for three different rewards programs.
Reward Programs
Across the range of Visa Infinite cards, there are around 15 different rewards programs available.
However, at the Visa Infinite Privilege level, your choices go down to 7 different rewards programs.
The types of rewards that you can earn with either a Visa Infinite card or a Visa Infinite Privilege card include:
- Cash back
- Travel programs (e.g., Aeroplan, British Airways Avios, CIBC’s Aventura, and RBC’s Avion)
- Lifestyle programs (e.g., Scotiabank’s Scene+)
- Bank rewards programs (e.g., BMO Rewards and TD Rewards)
Visa Infinite cards are available in all of these categories, while Visa Infinite Privilege cards are limited to the latter three.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that overall the Visa Infinite Privilege cards are essentially designed with a traveller in mind since the additional perks and benefits that come with Visa Infinite Privileges tend to be travel focused. (More on this below.)
Welcome bonuses
Both Visa Infinite cards and Visa Infinite Privilege cards offer welcome bonuses to new cardholders if they can meet set spending requirements.
These bonuses are often structured in a way so that you earn the full advertised welcome offer in multiple chunks over the course of your first year as a card member. They also typically include an anniversary bonus that requires you keep the card into the second year if you want to earn the full bonus.
As we would expect, the welcome offers tend to be higher for Visa Infinite Privilege cards than for Visa Infinite cards, but unfortunately, the spending requirements attached usually match this increase.
For example, let’s look at two cards from different tiers that both earn Aeroplan points: the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card and the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege Card.
TD® Aeroplan® Visa Infinite* Card: Welcome offer of up to 50,000 Aeroplan points
- Earn 10,000 points when you make your first purchase;
- Earn 15,000 more points when you spend $3,000 within the first 90 days;
- Earn a one-time anniversary bonus of 25,000 points when you spend $12,000 within the first 12 months.
TD® Aeroplan® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card: Welcome offer of up to 100,000 Aeroplan points
- Earn 20,000 points when you make your first purchase;
- Earn 30,000 more points when you spend $12,000 within the first 180 days;
- Earn a one-time anniversary bonus of 50,000 points when you spend $24,000 within the first 12 months.
| Credit card | Annual fee | Welcome offer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual fee$139 $0 | Welcome offer Up to 50,000 points | ||
| Annual fee$599 | Welcome offer Up to 100,000 points |
As you can see, the Visa Infinite Privilege offers twice the points, in exchange for twice the spending: $24,000 in the first year, compared with $12,000 for the Visa Infinite.
Earning rates
In terms of earning rates, Visa Infinite Privilege cards tend to have higher earning rates compared to their same-family Visa Infinite cards.
It’s not really possible to compare earning rates across multiple rewards programs since the value of most currencies is not fixed and can fluctuate considerably depending on how they’re redeemed.
With this in mind, for this category, we’re exclusively comparing the earning rates between the two tiers within the same bank and the same rewards program to demonstrate the incremental differences in earning rates.
Example 1
Let’s compare the earning rates of the BMO eclipse Visa Infinite* Card and the BMO eclipse Visa Infinite Privilege* Card.
| Spend Categories | BMO eclipse Visa Infinite* Card | BMO eclipse Visa Infinite Privilege* Card |
|---|---|---|
| Groceries | 5x | 5x |
| Gas | 5x | 5x |
| Dining out | 5x | 5x |
| Transit | 5x | 1x |
| Beauty/drugstore | 1x | 5x |
| Travel | 1x | 5x |
| Everything else | 1x | 1x |
In this chart, we can see that the Visa Infinite Privilege option offers an extra elevated category and also appears to be focused on higher value categories, like travel, with more earning potential.

Example 2
Looking at the earning rates available with the CIBC Aeroplan® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card and CIBC Aeroplan® Visa Infinite* Card, we can see a similar pattern to above:
| Spend Categories | CIBC Aeroplan® Visa Infinite* Card | CIBC Aeroplan® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card |
|---|---|---|
| Groceries | 1.5 points per $1 | 1.5 points per $1 |
| Gas | 1.5 points per $1 | 1.5 points per $1 |
| EV charging | 1.5 points per $1 | 1.5 points per $1 |
| Dining out | 1 points per $1 | 1.5 points per $1 |

| Air Canada purchases | 1.5 points per $1 | 2 points per $1 |
| Everything else | 1 points per $1 | 1.25 point per $1 |
Once again, we’re seeing slightly elevated earning rates for the Visa Infinite Privilege card, especially focused in more premium areas like dining out and travel.

Insurance Coverage
When it comes to insurance coverage, both card tiers offer fairly comprehensive packages, but Visa Infinite Privilege cards tend to expand and improve on what’s offered by their Visa Infinite counterparts.
To get an idea of how your insurance coverage could improve if you were to select a Visa Infinite Privilege card instead of a Visa Infinite card, let’s look at the coverage offered by the RBC Avion Visa Infinite and the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privilege.
| Coverage | RBC Avion Visa Infinite | rbc avion visa infinite privilege |
|---|---|---|
| Travel medical insurance | up to 15 days | up to 31 days |
| Trip cancellation insurance | $1,500 | $2,500 |
| Trip interruption insurance | $5,000 | $5,000 |
| Common carrier travel accident insurance | $500,000 | $500,000 |
| Flight delay insurance | $500 | $500 |
| Delayed baggage insurance | $500 | $500 |
| Lost/stolen baggage insurance | $500 | $2,500 |
| Auto rental/loss insurance | $65,000 – 48 days | $85,000 – 48 days |
| Hotel/motel burglary insurance | $2,500 | $3,000 |
| Extended warranty | 1 year | 2 years |
| Purchase protection | 90 days | 120 days |
| Mobile device insurance | $1,500 for 1 year | $1,500 for 1 year |
As you can see from the chart above, there are a few coverage areas that receive a boost when you’re a Visa Infinite Privilege cardholder, such as a longer term for your travel medical insurance and higher values for trip cancellation, lost/stolen baggage, and hotel/motel burglary insurance.

1 This offer only applies to new applications for an RBC Avion Visa Infinite or RBC Avion Visa Platinum credit card (each, an “Eligible Credit Card”) received between “August 13, 2026” and “November 25, 2026” (“Offer Period”) and approved by Royal Bank of Canada (“Royal Bank”) subject to the conditions below. Additional cardholders(s) (co-applicant and authorized user(s)) on the Eligible Credit Card account, as well as existing cardholders on any RBC Royal Bank personal credit card account transferring to an Eligible Credit Card account during the Offer Period, are not eligible for the offer.
35,000 welcome Avion points (“Welcome Points”) will appear on your monthly credit card statement within sixty (60) days after your application has been approved, provided that your Eligible Credit Card account remains open and in good standing at the time the Welcome points are credited to your account, “good standing” meaning that your Eligible Credit Card account must not be past due for more than two (2) consecutive credit card account statement periods, closed, charged off or in credit revoked status.
You will receive 20,000 bonus Avion points (“Bonus Points”) if a total of $5,000 or more (“Qualifying Transaction Amount”) in qualifying net purchases and/or pre-authorized bill payment transactions (“Qualifying Transactions”) are posted to your Eligible Credit Card account within the first six (6) months from your Eligible Credit Card account opening date (“Period”). The Bonus Points will appear on your monthly credit card statement within sixty days (60) after you reach $5,000 in Qualifying Transactions, provided your Eligible Credit Card account remains open and in good standing at the time the Bonus Points are credited to your account.
Qualifying Transactions exclude cash advances (including balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges that you set up with a merchant), interest charges and fees. Credits for returns and adjustments posted to your Eligible Credit Card account during the Period will reduce the amount of your Qualifying Transactions. The Qualifying Transaction Amount is based on the transaction posting date of each Qualifying Transaction, not the transaction date. This means that transactions that take place prior to the last day of the Period will not be considered for the Qualifying Transaction Amount if they have not yet been posted or processed by the merchant, the payment network (Visa) or Royal Bank by the last day of the Period.
15,000 additional Avion points (“Anniversary Points”) will appear on your monthly credit card statement within twelve (12) to sixteen (16) weeks after the one- year anniversary of your account opening, provided that your Eligible Credit Card account remains open and in good standing at the time the Anniversary Points are credited to your account.
If you close or change your Eligible Credit Card Account for another type of RBC Royal Bank credit card before the Welcome Points, the Bonus Points and/or the Anniversary Points have been credited to your account, you may lose the benefit of this offer. This offer may not be combined or used in conjunction with any other offer. Royal Bank reserves the right to cancel, modify or withdraw this offer at any time without notice, even after your application has been approved, including if we suspect that you may be manipulating or abusing it, or engaging in any suspicious or fraudulent activity, as determined by Royal Bank in its sole discretion. For complete terms and conditions that apply to the Avion Rewards Program, please visit www.avionrewards.com or call 1-800-769-2512.
^Point redemptions for flights under the Air Travel Redemption Schedule start at 7,500 points for a short-haul one-way Economy Class flight priced at no more than $175 (and start at 15,000 points for a short-haul round-trip Economy Class flight priced at no more than $350). The traveller is responsible for all applicable taxes, administration fees and surcharges. To learn more, including guidelines regarding redeeming points for a Business Class flight, visit www.avionrewards.com/fr/travel/.
2 Avion points are earned on qualifying net purchases only; they are not earned on cash advances (including balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges that you set up with a merchant) interest charges or fees, and credits for returns and adjustments will reduce or cancel the points earned by the amounts originally charged.
4 To participate in this offer, you must have an RBC debit card or a credit card which is issued by Royal Bank of Canada (excluding RBC commercial credit cards) (“RBC Card”).

You must be enrolled in RBC Online Banking or the RBC Mobile app in order to link your RBC Card to your Petro-Points card. Card linking may take up to 2 business days to process before savings and bonus points can be applied to purchases. A linked RBC Card means an RBC Card linked to a Petro-Points Account. Your linked RBC Card acts as your Petro-Points card. You will automatically earn Petro-Points when you pay for qualifying purchases with your linked RBC Card at Petro-Canada locations and you do not need to swipe your Petro-Points card before you pay. You can redeem your Petro-Points at Petro-Canada using your linked RBC Card. Each time you use your linked RBC Card to purchase any grade of gasoline, or diesel, at a Petro-Canada location, you will save three cents ($0.03) per litre at the time of the transaction.

12 You will earn 1.25 Avion points for every dollar spent when you use your RBC Avion Visa Infinite card to pay for travel-related purchases made at merchants classified by Visa’s “Merchant Category Code” (“MCC”) as “travel”, which may include: airlines, accommodations, tour operators, cruise lines, travel agencies and car rental companies. Even though some merchants may sell travel products/services, purchases made at these locations may not necessarily qualify for the 1.25 Avion points per dollar if the merchant is not classified with a “travel” MCC. Also, merchants that are not classified by a “travel” MCC may be located on the premises of merchants that are classified with a “travel” MCC, and purchases made at these locations may not qualify for this added benefit.

1 This offer only applies to new applications for an RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privilege credit card received between “August 13, 2026” and “November 25, 2026” (“Offer Period”) and approved by Royal Bank of Canada (“Royal Bank”) subject to the conditions below. Additional cardholders(s) (co-applicant and authorized user(s)) on the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privilege account, as well as existing cardholders on any RBC Royal Bank personal credit card account transferring to an RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privilege account during the Offer Period, are not eligible for the offer.
35,000 welcome Avion points (“Welcome Points”) will appear on your monthly credit card statement within sixty (60) days after your application has been approved, provided that your RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privilege credit card account (“Credit Card Account”) remains open and in good standing at the time the Welcome points are credited to your account, “good standing” meaning that your Credit Card Account must not be past due for more than two (2) consecutive credit card account statement periods, closed, charged off or in credit revoked status.
You will receive 20,000 bonus Avion points (“Bonus Points”) if a total of $5,000 or more (“Qualifying Transaction Amount”) in qualifying net purchases and/or pre-authorized bill payment transactions (“Qualifying Transactions”) are posted to your Credit Card Account within the first six (6) months from your Credit Card Account opening date (“Period”).

Qualifying Transactions exclude cash advances (including balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges that you set up with a merchant), interest charges and fees, and credits for returns and adjustments posted to your Credit Card account during the Period will reduce the amount of your Qualifying Transactions. The Qualifying Transaction Amount is based on the transaction posting date of each Qualifying Transaction, not the transaction date. This means that transactions that take place prior to the last day of the Period will not be considered for the Qualifying Transaction Amount if they have not yet been posted or processed by the merchant, the payment network (Visa) or Royal Bank by the last day of the Period.

Perks and Benefits
In the perks and benefits category, we see the same trend that we saw across the other categories — namely that the Visa Infinite cards give you some solid offerings from which the Visa Infinite Privilege cards expand.

So Which Card Should You Choose?
If you qualify for a Visa Infinite Privilege card, they’re usually most valuable when chosen thoughtfully with a good understanding of how you’ll use them to earn and redeem points and take advantage of any perks and annual credits.
However, since they command high annual fees, high income requirements, and a considerable spend requirement to earn the welcome offers, these cards are not particularly accessible.
Comparatively, Visa Infinite cards come in with much lower annual fees and income requirements, all while offering fairly similar earning rates and many of the same benefits.
The Visa Infinite level is definitely the sweet spot where you can earn rewards and build your loyalty wallet without having to be too strategic.
This is also the level where benefits really start to be noticeable – especially compared to the Visa Platinum level, which typically offers fewer perks and benefits and lower earning rates.
In the end, we think that the Visa Infinite cards are the more versatile and accessible option; however, a Visa Infinite Privilege card can also be powerful addition to any rewards wallet — just make sure you do your research before applying.
Bottom Line
Visa Infinite cards and Visa Infinite Privilege cards are popular choices thanks to their solid benefits packages, diverse choice of banks and reward programs, and the wide acceptance of Visa around the world.
Luckily, there’s loads of options among this family of cards, so if you’re in the market for a new addition to your wallet, you’re sure to find something that suits your rewards style.

For example, if you originally opened a Scotiabank Gold American Express® Card account on January 15, 2022 and you switch to the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Card on July 15, 2025, your annual period under the 10,000 Scene+ points annual bonus offer will begin on January 15, 2026 (your next anniversary date) and a new period will start again on January 15 each year thereafter. You will earn 2,000 bonus Scene+ points for each additional $10,000 in purchases made during the same year once you have reached the $40,000 annual purchase threshold.
Eligible purchases means purchases, less refunds, returns and any other similar credits, and excludes payments, cash advances (including balance transfers and quasi-cash transactions), interest charges, as well as card fees and other fees.
Fulfillment of the annual points bonus: Bonus points will be credited within approximately eight weeks after you become eligible for a bonus, provided the account is open and in good standing. In the case of a joint account with a primary borrower and a co-borrower, bonus points will be credited as follows: (i) the 25,000 bonus points and the annual points bonus will be credited to the Scene+ account linked to the account of the borrower who made the transaction that reached the eligible purchase threshold ($2,000, or $40,000) within the appropriate timeframe (the first three months, or the first 12 months). If an additional cardholder makes the transaction that reaches the eligible purchase threshold for the 25,000 bonus points, or the annual points bonus, the bonus points will be credited to the Scene+ account linked to the primary borrower’s account. It is possible to transfer points between the Scene+ accounts of a primary borrower, a co-borrower or an additional cardholder by contacting Scene+. An account is in good standing if it is not past due, there is no over-limit, and the cardholder(s) have complied with the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement that applies to the account. All other program conditions continue to apply during the offer period.
Offer eligibility and exclusions: You cannot take advantage of the offer if you are currently a primary or secondary cardholder of a Scotiabank personal credit card or have been one in the past two years, including if you transfer your balance from an existing Scotiabank personal credit card account, and if you are a Scotiabank employee. Subject to the exclusions mentioned above, small business credit cardholders are eligible for this offer.
Rates and fees: The annual fees are $150 for the primary card, $0 for the first additional card and $50 for each additional card thereafter (including those issued to joint account holders and additional cardholders). The preferred annual interest rates applicable to the account are as follows: 20.99% on purchases and 22.99% on cash advances (including balance transfers and quasi-cash transactions). The rates, fees, and features and benefits, which are described in the disclosure statement accompanying the application, may be changed.
