Oh wow,
Didn't even see that one when I posted my inside scoop. Oh well, at least now anyone can get 15k bonus and FYF on top of the 50%!

When I got my card a few months back, I applied online (under the impression that it was FYF). Turns out it wasn't FYF at the time, but two phone calls in, the CSR fixed that for me. Just be persistent!

I know I've read some things about avios redemptions to the U.S. being a great deal but I need to look into that a bit further, I'm not sure if I can use them departing from YOW. If not I guess I'll see what else I can do with 15k avion points - I don't plan on using that card much. As far as long haul J, I think the taxes/YQ are really high. Is that correct or are there YQ free options like there are with aeroplan? If there are I'll consider moving a bunch of points to avios. If there's a thread discussing this can someone let me know? Otherwise I'll figure it out eventually.

I think the only direct flights to/from Ottawa on One World are to Charlotte and Philadelphia both on US Airways, no? So you could transfer RBC Avion to BA Avios (especially now given that there's the 1.5x promo), and then use your 22,500 points to do 2 round-trip flights (9,000 each round trip) and still have enough for a one-way to either of those places. Montreal has a few more options (Chicago, NYC), in addition to slightly farther places (Dallas, Miami etc).
