News, Tips & Tricks
I just learned yesterday that RBC Rewards members (including Avion Cardholders)
can now convert their points to WestJet Rewards. I’m hoping this is something
relatively new and that I haven’t dropped the ball in passing this news on to
my readers! Anyways the conversion is so-so, 100 RBC Rewards Points = 1 WestJet
Dollar or basically a 1% return (not including the Infinite Avion 1.25 points
for travel purchases). In many cases you may be better off redeeming those RBC
Rewards points via the Avion Redemption Chart for WestJet flights as you stand
to get a better return on your spending and you will actually earn WestJet Rewards
dollars on the flight(s) since it is a revenue ticket! Nonetheless having the
option to convert is good thing especially if you want to top off your WestJet
Dollars account for a redemption. Overall the best conversion with the Avion
cards is still to British Airways Executive Club, especially when the 50% transfer
bonus rolls around!
