I was thinking that it would be nice to have A Milesbuzz Canada sub-forum rather than a long and tangled thread. I find it inconvenient having to piece threads together that are interspersed among varying topics.
Anyone else agree?

From your experience, approximately how many days does it take for the Avion - Avios transfer to happen?
If I call Avios to book a reward ticket, do they hold the ticket for 5 days while I transfer my points? I recall AA did that one time for me.

For me,usually within 5 business days.Make sure your name and address matches between RBC and Avios and make sure the RBC rep uses the correct card #( ie primary card # with RBC if using Avios membership registered in the primary's name or co applicant card # if using Avios membership registered in the coapplicants name)

Got a similar email from AmEx regarding the SPG amex. Earn 2 SPG points for every dollar spent at all SPG and Marriott properties , worth six Marriott points per dollar
The SPG amex is now the best card for Marriott and SPG stays within Canada due to the forex fee for international stays.
This starts November 15, so effective immediately.

My plan is SPG Amex for domestic and Marriott Visa for international.
We're going on a one year travel sabbatical in july. So the Marriott Visa changes are pretty significant for us.
