Thereafter, you will no longer receive the rebate on the annual fee. If, for some reason, the Expected Graduation Year you have provided at the opening of your Eligible Student Bank Account differs from the one you have indicated on your credit card application form, the Expected Graduation Year you have provided at the opening of your Eligible Student Bank Account will prevail and be used for determining the expiry of this offer.

As a sole or joint owner of an RBC Signature No Limit Banking (SNL) account and the primary RBC ION+ Visa cardholder, the $4 monthly fee ($48 annually) of your RBC ION+ Visa card will be fully rebated, every month, as long as your eligible credit card remains in good standing and you remain an SNL account owner. Additional cardholders (co-applicants and authorized users) do not qualify for the annual fee rebate, even if they are also owners of an SNL account.
