Subject to credit approval. If you are a post-secondary student and an owner or co-owner of an RBC Advantage™ Banking Account for students (“Eligible Student Bank Account”) and the primary cardholder of one of the eligible RBC Royal Bank credit cards listed below (each, an “Eligible Credit Card”), the annual fee of your Eligible Credit Card may be fully rebated, every year:

Thereafter, the annual fee will no longer be rebated.
