[PROMOTION] 30% Transfer Bonus to British Airways Avios (Last Chance)
RBC is one again offering a 30% transfer bonus to British Airways’ Executive Club, which is the same 30% offer exactly 6 months ago (between October 3, 2022 and November 16, 2022). Conversion bonuses are an amazing way to boost account balances without any extra cost or effort (aside from having the transferable points readily available).
Promotional period
The promotion began on April 3, 2023 and run until next week on May 15, 2023. During the pandemic, we rarely saw transfer bonuses. Now it seems like the trend is to go back to before when there was a bonus offer every 6 months. So it is nice to see this bonus opportunity again!
Keep in mind that the most recent Avion points that are pending only posts after the monthly closing statement, not before. So if your next statement does not close on time, you will want convert before the May 15 deadline.
Minimum transfer requirement
There is a 10,000 Avion points minimum transfer requirement, with increments of 1 point thereafter. With a 1 to 1 transfer ratio, normally 10,000 Avion points equates to 10,000 Avios. Now with the 30% additional bonus, the minimum 10,000 Avion transfer now nets 13,000 Avios. The transfer bonuses can really add it with large conversions (e.g. 50,000 Avion comes out to 65,000 Avios, and so on).
RBC Avion
Note that you do need to have a valid RBC Avion co-branded card to qualify for the transfer bonus. The cards are as follows:
