Bonus 15k points ~ 22.5k BA Avios
Only downside is the delay in converting from RBC Rewards -> BA.
Thanks for the response. Yes I'm aware of this card and may apply in the future. However, I actually prefer cards that allow me to transfer to multiple airlines such as BA and AP as this allows for much better flexibility.
