Many of you have been asking via email or comments on blog posts for old versions of this offer and as we predicted its back as of today!
This offer is for all of you RBC Avion cardholders (Infinite and
Platinum) and runs from today to July 15th, which is roughly two weeks shorter than we normally see. Now is the time to ramp up
your spending if you have been planning to take advantage of this great
transfer bonus! As always BA Avios are a great option for flights to
Asia (via Cathay Pacific), short to medium haul within North America
(Alaska Airlines, TAM or American Airlines see this post here) and even though huge surcharges are
added to their UK/Europe redemptions they can still be an alright value
because of this bonus transfer based on your spend with the credit card
(see my post about Earn & Burn
for an explanation). As always though with any frequent flyer program
you will have to be flexible in your options when redeeming due to seat
availability issues (ie it may be hard to get tickets to Europe in
Summer etc.) so take this into consideration before transferring.
