My RBCPlatinum Visa is currently doing a BA transfer bonus.

Does the fact that RBC is doing a promotion mean that AMEX is less likely to?

I called into AMEX and asked if BA transfer were still a thing, he said yes. I asked if I should be hopeful for November and the CSR also said yes. He didn't specifically say if there was going to be a transfer but he said there is hope, versus when I called in March they flat out said no.

The image posted by ncncyoo suggests that the offer runs from November 1 to December 31 / 2014.

Love Amex gold but...
The lack of a transfer bonus to Avios combined with the end of the agreement with Costco makes me wonder if I should be looking elsewhere for a premium card.

I know I will be cancelling my AMEX plat and Gold after this year. I can’t find a way to possibly keep these AMEX cards in Canada. I’m much better off with an RBC, however i’m going to miss the amazing customer service.

CS just told me- IF there is a promotion, it would take place 3rd or 4th week of the November (though they made it seem like really the end of November).
Take it with a grain of salt- I dont believe most things CS tells me anyways.
