When it comes to changing/when the year is near done, would the best way not to lose my RBC rewards point be:

A) Transfer from RBC to AA when there's the transfer promo on
B) Remaining points right before cancellation, transfer to Esso Extra
C) Cancel RBC Avion Platinum
D) Apply for RBC Avion Infinite
E) Re-convert Esso Extra to RBC Rewards at no net loss, since it's 1500=2500 either way (?)

does that sound about right? Or how much time do I have to leave between cancelling the Platinum and applying for the Infinite, does anyone have any experience with this?
I would make sure the credit limit is up to the minimum level required for infinite, and then ask for a product transfer. If that fails, apply while still having the Platinum. If that fails, call in and discuss you want the infinite (or will move business to another credit card, away from RBC). If you have the credit limit and you use it well, there is no reason you'd not get the infinite.
