I just got a targeted offer from British Airways Avios, 30k instead of regular 15k Avios for sign up.... but problem is the rbc card doesnt waive the $165 fee in any shape or form.... and 30k for $165... especially since unlike TD you cant get annual fee waived with a $5k chequing account... any input guys?
edit: someone needs to edit wiki, add sony card as above, and delete the choice, promo ended on 10th

wow just saw this, i got a personal email from British airways directly, but im going to dig deeper to see if i can get 30k + 15k extra.. for 45k avios maybe $165 annual fee is worth it?
edit: nvm its the exact same thing british airways sent me, so 30k after $5k spend in 2 months with fixated $165 annual fee is not worth it in my personal opinion (especially since you can get amex MR or rbc rewards and convert to avios during 50% bonus)
also dont bother with airmiles, presumably the program sucks but if youre really interested, amex has FYF and offers 1500 airmiles
