I know three people with RBC Rewards cards.
One hasn't been able to make use of her points.
One uses his points to buy gift cards. (Ouch.)
And myself, I signed up for the card just to get the signup bonus, and I haven't found a great redemption for the points, and I'll need to do that before the annual fee comes up.
So I think there are a lot of people not making great use of their RBC Rewards points.
This offer might be good for those folks who should just extract some value from their RBC points and be done with it.
