Air Canada Flights Through Avion
Hey folks,
Not sure if this is the best forum for this question, maybe it should be under credit cards, but I booked a flight a few weeks back to Australia using my RBC Avion points. Longshot here but I am wondering if I will be able to add my AP# to it when I check in? I traveled using Air Miles a few months back and wasn't able to get miles or segments for that but I have heard conflicting information on whether or not that's the case with an RBC Avion redemption.
Thank you,

Avion and airmiles tickets are treated differently. Avion tickets are actual revenue tickets not reward tickets, so they will earn frequent flyer miles.

whenever I book using my scion points I contact them before hand to get permission to book my own flight directly with the airline and then submit the receipt reimbursement.
It's worked out well where I've been able to book directly into flex or J. It also means i full control over the booking rather than being reliant the avian call centre.

RBC Avion and Air Can
I thought because the tickets were purchased there would be mileage and AQD awarded as well, but so far Air Can is saying no. Never had issues with tickets bought with TD First Class or MBNA cards, but RBC must be buying some lower class of tickets, unless Air Canada just changed something in their system. Any ideas?
