Here’s your RWRDS Canada update! Your near daily dose of loyalty program, credit card and travel news, bonuses, deals and more.
The updates to articles and features on Rewards Canada that listed the HSBC cards continues on! The next one to be updated is our “Airline & Hotel loyalty programs that you can earn miles or points with Canadian Credit Cards” feature. This is the feature that shows you which loyalty programs from around the world are accessible with Canadian credit cards. All references to the HSBC card options have now been removed from the listings.
We have also added the RBC ION Visa Card and RBC ION+ Visa Card to the American Airlines, British Airways (and also the other Avios programs) and Cathay Pacific listings as the points from those two cards can be converted to those programs so long as you also hold an Avion card.

Earning cash back with Avion Select’s new Card Linked offers
Late in 2023 we provided details of the expanded Avion Select program from RBC, which is the part of Avion Rewards that any Canadian can join. One of those updates was RBC launching their own card linked offers (I believe these were adapted from their now retired Amplii program) and we wanted to provide details further details as I unknowingly was able to complete my first earning action with those card linked offers.
If you recall from the post I was able to link all of my American Express cards to Avion Select and recently when I used my Cobalt Card (additional card to my wife’s account) for a Doordash purchase, it earned cash back via Avion Select.
I only became aware of actually earning some cash back as I went into the app to check to see if any new offers were available and saw that I had a cash back balance! I was a bit surprised at first as I didn’t recall making purchases for any of the offers but it turns out there was one for Doordash that counted and I had just made a Doordash purchase a few days prior.
So not only did that purchase earn cash back for being an Avion Select member, it also earned the extremely valuable 5 Membership Rewards points per dollar spent with the American Express Cobalt Card.
