If you’re an RBC credit cardholder, your points are managed through the Avion Rewards program (formerly RBC Rewards). The great news is that you can easily transfer those points to travel partners, gift cards, or even toward everyday purchases — all from the convenience of the Avion Rewards mobile app.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you transfer your RBC credit card points using the app.
Step 1: Download and Sign In to the Avion Rewards App
- Go to the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
- Search for Avion Rewards and download the app.
- Sign in using your RBC Online Banking credentials.
- If you don’t have online banking set up, you’ll need to register first through the RBC website.
Step 2: Check Your Points Balance
- Once logged in, tap on your credit card account linked to Avion Rewards.
- Your available points balance will be displayed on the home screen or under the Rewards tab.
Step 3: Navigate to Transfer Options
- Tap on the Rewards section in the app.
- Select Use Points → Transfer Points.
- Browse the list of eligible transfer partners. Depending on your card and membership, options may include:
- Airline partners (e.g., WestJet, British Airways Executive Club, American Airlines AAdvantage, Cathay Pacific Asia Miles).
- Hotel partners (when available).
Step 4: Choose Your Transfer Partner
- Select the partner program you want to transfer points to.
- Enter your partner account details (e.g., your WestJet Rewards ID).
- Input the number of points you’d like to transfer.
- Be mindful of transfer ratios (e.g., 1:1 or promotional bonuses).
- Confirm the transfer.
Step 5: Confirm and Wait for Processing
- Once you submit, you’ll see a confirmation message in the app.
- Transfers may be instant for some partners, while others can take a few business days.
Tips for Maximizing RBC Avion Rewards Transfers
- Look for transfer bonuses: RBC occasionally offers promotions like “30% more when you transfer to British Airways Avios.”
- Plan travel redemptions in advance: Transferring to airline partners often gives you better value than redeeming for gift cards or merchandise.
- Check minimum transfer amounts: Some partners require a set minimum (e.g., 1,000 points).
