I have flights I want to book and I'll hold out another week to get the bonus, but if it's not coming May 1st, I'll likely transfer now...

Anyone heard if we are having the 50% bonus for RBC Avion to BA Avios anytime soon? It's usually May 1st and I haven't seen anything documented yet, and usually they document it well in advance.

My guess is it will be June 1st this year.
+1 when I applied in December I got FYF +15k for telling them I was a Visa Infinite card holder at another bank. You can chat them online and ask if is still available. As soon as 15k posted I quickly turned it into 22.5k Avios. As soon as a decent RBC BA offer comes along again I will be product switching (no HP).

I just converted the 15K + FYF Avion to a no fee card (AF was coming up)
thanks!!

I would recommend doing this regardless. Its good to see whats going on across the board, especially because Amex always pulls from Transunion.

Is it RBC Avion=RBC reward points? I just find it confused
I'm using a RBC USA issued CC, this year I just find out 2 RBC US rewards points= 1 RBC Canada points
, I thought they may just change the rule, so my RBC US reward point=0.75 Avios with 50% bonus, sounds very low to me.
and I find out RBC is not aggressive in CC business, for the last 5 years I can remember they just run Avios bonus twice with high spending requirement,and they don't have any FYF promo ........... BMO is also not aggressive ............no comparison to the US offer

I can't say forsure but from what I've seen RBC is more aggressive in eliminating churners compared to most other banks. I should have product switched to the BA card back in December when it was 30k for $5k spend $160 AF - buying @ .05cpp is pretty good. I just thought I might actually use the Avion card...

Can you CANCEL an RBC Avion Points Conversion?
I did a points conversion yesterday afternoon (RBC Avion to BA Avios) - even though there's a bonus coming soon, because I needed the points for a flight I want to book. And wouldn't you know it, some other Avios I thought would take a while to post came through this morning, so I don't need the extra points and want to save my Avion points for the conversion bonus.
Can I call to cancel the transfer if it's within 24 hours? I can give it a shot, but I don't want to bother with the call if anyone knows for sure it's not possible. TIA!
