Jun 2 Update: RBC Avion transfer bonus to BA returns, SCENE adds Milestones as a partner, 20% Bonus for Diners Club transfers to Flying Club

I always love the start of each month as there are tons of new
bonuses, lots of news and more that keeps the travel rewards space
hopping!

News, Tips & Tricks

The big news today is the return of the RBC Avion
transfer bonus to British Airways! This twice yearly 50% bonus has been
much anticipated as it starts a month later than usual. We posted about
it last night and are just reminding you again of the bonus as it is one
of the main reasons the RBC Avion Infinite Visa card ranks high in our
yearly rankings! Think about it, for 12,000 RBC Rewards Points ($12,000
in spending) you’ll get 18,000 Avios which are enough points for two
short haul round trip tickets in North America. Using the Avion
redemption chart you would need 30,000 RBC Rewards Points ($30,000 in
spending) to get the same flights! Find out more about the bonus below
and more about the short haul redemption possibilities here.

Scotiabank has increased the sign up bonus for the Cineplex SCENE Visa.
The regular offer of 2,000 points has been doubled to 4,000 points.
This means you can get four free movies instead of two or $40 of spend
at Sport Chek! This offer runs until October 31st. Find out more or apply for the card here.

Meanwhile still on the topic of SCENE, we mentioned
nearly a year ago to watch this program as they grow out of a student
focused movie going loyatly program to a coalition program like AIR
MILES and Aeroplan. The first step was the addition of Sport Chek as a
partner and now they have added Milestones Restaurants. SCENE members
will now earn 1 point for every $3 spent at Milestones restaurants. Find out more here!

Oh yes and finally, in about two hours stay tuned to the Rewards Canada blog for another exciting announcement that is exclusive to Rewards Canada!
