A common and well known use of Avios miles is for short flights since the price depends on the distance traveled.
In fact, the majority of sweetspots with British Airways Club Avios miles are on domestic flights in Australia or Japan where flights are very expensive.
However, there is another sweetspot in Oneworld’s multi-partner itineraries on long-haul routes, especially in business and first class.
Multi-partner itinerary with Avios
The usual pricing with Avios miles is per flight segment.
However, for multi-partner Oneworld itineraries, the total distance of the trip will be taken into consideration. So, it allows us to include several flights for a lower cost, especially if we include short-haul flights in our route.

What is the cost in Avios for a Oneworld multipartner ticket?
There is a second fee schedule for Oneworld multi-partner reservations. This chart works when traveling on two or more Oneworld partners, excluding British Airways.
It is still possible to have flight segments with British Airways, but you will have to add two more partners to access these prices.

For example, the following fare schedule (economy class cost) applies if you book a flight from Montreal to Sydney
- with American Airlines for the segment between Montreal and Dallas
- with Qantas for the segment between Dallas and Tokyo

The number of Avios miles required for a Oneworld multi-partner award ticket in premium economy will be 1.5X higher than the amounts above; for business class it will be 2X and first class will be 3X higher.
On British Airways flights, the fare difference between economy and business class is increased by 3X when it is only 2X when using partners!
We can see here that a flight between Montreal and London requires well over three times the Avios miles in business class compared to the cost of economy class.


So using the Oneworld Multi-Partner chart in business or first class is a great way to get the most value out of your Avios miles.

Oneworld multi-partner pricing rules
The rules for using your Avios on Oneworld multi-partner award tickets are not very clear.
In theory, you should limit yourself to 8 flight segments and one overland segment; this leaves a lot of room to build a dream itinerary! In practice, the restriction on the number of flight segments seems very firm, but for land segments, it depends on the agent.
- Two or more different Oneworld partners, excluding British Airways
- Three different Oneworld partners and more if you want to include British Airways
- Taxes and fees must be paid in cash

Conditions for the annual 10,000 Scene+ points bonus:
As a Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Card credit cardholder, you can earn an annual bonus of at least 10,000 Scene+ points (the « annual points bonus ») if you charge at least $40,000 in eligible purchases to your account over the course of one year (12-month period). The annual period begins on the account opening date; a new period starts again every twelve months thereafter. If you replace another Scene+-eligible credit card with the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Card (i.e., it is not a new card or an additional card), the opening date of your original account will be carried over to your new Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Card account and your annual period under this offer will begin on the next anniversary date of your original account opening. For example, if you originally opened a Scotiabank Gold American Express® Card account on January 15, 2022 and you switch to the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Card on July 15, 2025, your annual period under the 10,000 Scene+ points annual bonus offer will begin on January 15, 2026 (your next anniversary date) and a new period will start again on January 15 each year thereafter. You will earn 2,000 bonus Scene+ points for each additional $10,000 in purchases made during the same year once you have reached the $40,000 annual purchase threshold.
Eligible purchases means purchases, less refunds, returns and any other similar credits, and excludes payments, cash advances (including balance transfers and quasi-cash transactions), interest charges, as well as card fees and other fees.
Fulfillment of the annual points bonus: Bonus points will be credited within approximately eight weeks after you become eligible for a bonus, provided the account is open and in good standing. In the case of a joint account with a primary borrower and a co-borrower, bonus points will be credited as follows: (i) the 25,000 bonus points and the annual points bonus will be credited to the Scene+ account linked to the account of the borrower who made the transaction that reached the eligible purchase threshold ($2,000, or $40,000) within the appropriate timeframe (the first three months, or the first 12 months). If an additional cardholder makes the transaction that reaches the eligible purchase threshold for the 25,000 bonus points, or the annual points bonus, the bonus points will be credited to the Scene+ account linked to the primary borrower’s account. It is possible to transfer points between the Scene+ accounts of a primary borrower, a co-borrower or an additional cardholder by contacting Scene+. An account is in good standing if it is not past due, there is no over-limit, and the cardholder(s) have complied with the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement that applies to the account. All other program conditions continue to apply during the offer period.

1 This offer only applies to new applications for an RBC Avion Visa Infinite or RBC Avion Visa Platinum credit card (each, an “Eligible Credit Card”) received between “August 13, 2026” and “November 25, 2026” (“Offer Period”) and approved by Royal Bank of Canada (“Royal Bank”) subject to the conditions below. Additional cardholders(s) (co-applicant and authorized user(s)) on the Eligible Credit Card account, as well as existing cardholders on any RBC Royal Bank personal credit card account transferring to an Eligible Credit Card account during the Offer Period, are not eligible for the offer.
35,000 welcome Avion points (“Welcome Points”) will appear on your monthly credit card statement within sixty (60) days after your application has been approved, provided that your Eligible Credit Card account remains open and in good standing at the time the Welcome points are credited to your account, “good standing” meaning that your Eligible Credit Card account must not be past due for more than two (2) consecutive credit card account statement periods, closed, charged off or in credit revoked status.
You will receive 20,000 bonus Avion points (“Bonus Points”) if a total of $5,000 or more (“Qualifying Transaction Amount”) in qualifying net purchases and/or pre-authorized bill payment transactions (“Qualifying Transactions”) are posted to your Eligible Credit Card account within the first six (6) months from your Eligible Credit Card account opening date (“Period”). The Bonus Points will appear on your monthly credit card statement within sixty days (60) after you reach $5,000 in Qualifying Transactions, provided your Eligible Credit Card account remains open and in good standing at the time the Bonus Points are credited to your account.
Qualifying Transactions exclude cash advances (including balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges that you set up with a merchant), interest charges and fees. Credits for returns and adjustments posted to your Eligible Credit Card account during the Period will reduce the amount of your Qualifying Transactions. The Qualifying Transaction Amount is based on the transaction posting date of each Qualifying Transaction, not the transaction date. This means that transactions that take place prior to the last day of the Period will not be considered for the Qualifying Transaction Amount if they have not yet been posted or processed by the merchant, the payment network (Visa) or Royal Bank by the last day of the Period.
15,000 additional Avion points (“Anniversary Points”) will appear on your monthly credit card statement within twelve (12) to sixteen (16) weeks after the one- year anniversary of your account opening, provided that your Eligible Credit Card account remains open and in good standing at the time the Anniversary Points are credited to your account.
If you close or change your Eligible Credit Card Account for another type of RBC Royal Bank credit card before the Welcome Points, the Bonus Points and/or the Anniversary Points have been credited to your account, you may lose the benefit of this offer. This offer may not be combined or used in conjunction with any other offer. Royal Bank reserves the right to cancel, modify or withdraw this offer at any time without notice, even after your application has been approved, including if we suspect that you may be manipulating or abusing it, or engaging in any suspicious or fraudulent activity, as determined by Royal Bank in its sole discretion. For complete terms and conditions that apply to the Avion Rewards Program, please visit www.avionrewards.com or call 1-800-769-2512.

The traveller is responsible for all applicable taxes, administration fees and surcharges.

Also, merchants that are not classified by a “travel” MCC may be located on the premises of merchants that are classified with a “travel” MCC, and purchases made at these locations may not qualify for this added benefit.

Oceania and Asia at a good price
There are plenty of Oneworld partners to go to Australia and Asia.
Indeed, the following companies have a very interesting network from their hub.
- American Airlines
- American Eagle
- Cathay Pacific
- Finnair
- Japan Airlines
- Malaysia Airlines
- Qantas
- Qatar Airways

Travelling to Australia and Japan with Avios
By using Avios on the Oneworld multi-partner grid, it would be possible to make a trip to Japan and Australia on the same ticket!
- in economy class for 120 000 Avios
- in business class for 240 000 Avios
What is interesting in this example is the addition of the short-haul segments between NRT-KIX and SYD-MEL to the long-haul flights to get there.

| ROUTE | COMPANY | |
|---|---|---|
| Segment # 1 | Montreal-Dallas | American Airlines |
| Segment # 2 | Dallas-Tokyo | Japan Airlines |
| Segment # 3 | Tokyo-Osaka | Japan Airlines |
| Segment # 4 | Osaka-Sydney | Qantas |
| Segment # 5 | Sydney-Melbourne | Qantas |
| Segment # 6 | Melbourne-Los Angeles | Qantas |
| Segment # 7 | Los Angeles-Chicago | American Airlines |
| Segment # 8 | Chicago-Montreal | American Airlines |

Optimizing internal flights in Australia and Japan with the Oneworld multi-partner grid
Internal flights in Japan and Australia are expensive. Indeed, Avios miles are often optimized when leaning towards this avenue.
If you want to travel to both countries, it can be interesting to build a multi-partner Oneworld itinerary.

| ROUTE | COMPANY | |
|---|---|---|
| Segment # 1 | Tokyo-Fukuoka | Japan Airlines |
| Segment # 2 | Fukuoka-Okinawa | Japan Airlines |
| Segment # 3 | Okinawa-Osaka | Japan Airlines |
| Segment # 4 | Osaka-Sydney | Qantas |
| Segment # 5 | Sydney-Cairns | Qantas |
| Segment # 6 | Cairns-Alice Spring | Qantas |
| Segment # 7 | Alice Spring-Melbourne | Qantas |
Since you must limit yourself to a maximum of 8 flight segments, it can be smart to book multiple short-haul flights with Avios on the Oneworld multi-partner grid.
Then use Aeroplan points, for example, on another ticket to get to Japan and back from Australia!
- 70,000 Avios for internal flights in Japan and Australia + flight between the two countries
- 93,300 Aeroplan points for international flights to and from Montreal
All flights to Japan and Australia would have totaled approximately 78,000 Avios if booked on the standard fare schedule compared to 70,000 Avios on the same ticket with the Oneworld multi-partner fare schedule.


When we search for prices on Google Flights for the domestic Japan portion of the flight only, we can see that they are upwards of $900.

For comparison purposes:
If you use your Membership Rewards points for an account credit, you will need 90,000 American Express Membership Rewards points to apply to your domestic flights within Japan only.
If you use your Membership Rewards points to transfer to Avios for a Oneworld multi-partner flight, you’ll need 70,000 American Express Membership Rewards points to get domestic flights in Japan, domestic flights in Australia and a flight between the two countries.
Travel to Europe, Africa and the Middle East with Avios
Then, you can also discover several very different destinations on the same ticket in Europe, the Middle East and Africa with the Oneworld multi-partner grid!
- in economy class for 100,000 Avios
- in business class for 200,000 Avios

| ROUTE | COMPANY | |
|---|---|---|
| Segment # 1 | Montreal-Casablanca | Royal Air Maroc |
| Segment # 2 | Casablanca-Madrid | Iberia |
| Segment # 3 | Madrid-Copenhagen | Iberia |
| Segment # 4 | Copenhagen-Amman | Royal Jordanian |
| Segment # 5 | Amman-Doha | Qatar Airways |
| Segment # 6 | Doha-Nairobi | Qatar Airways |
| Segment # 7 | Nairobi-London | British Airways |
| Segment # 8 | London-Montreal | British Airways |
Considering that round-trip economy flights between Montreal and Nairobi run between $1,500 and $2,000, it’s worth transferring 200,000 American Express Membership Rewards points in Avios instead of using these points as an account credit (200,000 Membership Rewards points = $2,000 cash back).
This way, not only will you be in business class, but you have the opportunity to visit several other places for the same price!


Oneworld multipartner world tours with Avios
The distances mentioned in the Oneworld multi-partner price list are large enough to allow us to make “round the world” type itineraries!
The following itinerary (19,258 miles) allows us to fly on the wings of four different companies and visit four cities for the cost of:
- 100,000 Avios in economy class
- 200,000 Avios in business class

| ROUTE | COMPANY | |
|---|---|---|
| Segment # 1 | Montreal-Chicago | American Eagle |
| Segment # 2 | Chicago-Tokyo | Japan Airlines |
| Segment # 3 | Tokyo-Hong Kong | Cathay Pacific |
| Segment # 4 | Hong Kong-Doha | Cathay Pacific |
| Segment # 5 | Doha-Montreal | Qatar Airways |
Then, here is another example with a segment by land. Since the total distance is 19,873 miles, the price in Avios is identical to the previous illustration.

| ROUTE | COMPANY | |
|---|---|---|
| Segment # 1 | Montreal-Dallas | American Airlines |
| Segment # 2 | Dallas-Tokyo | Japan Airlines |
| Segment # 3 | Tokyo-Hong Kong | Japan Airlines |
| Land segment | ||
| Segment # 4 | Sydney-Dallas | Qantas |
| Segment # 5 | Dallas-Montreal | Qantas |
This kind of Oneworld multi-partner itinerary is perfect for visiting Japan before going to Southeast Asia.
Then, you can use the numerous low-cost airlines to discover the region at your own pace (Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, etc.) before you go to Australia.
Once in Kangaroo Country, you can drive along the beautiful landscape of the east coast from Cairns to Sydney to catch your flight back to Montreal!

The American Express Cobalt® Card is the best credit card from American Express, whether you want points for travel or cash back.
American Express Cobalt® Card welcome offer
The welcome bonus is paid out monthly over your first 12 months. You earn 1,250 Membership Rewards points for each monthly billing period in which you charge $750 in net purchases to your card, in any category (1X, 2X, 3X or 5X). That adds up to 15,000 Membership Rewards points over the year, a welcome offer we value at $255.
Earning the full bonus means $9,000 in net purchases spread across 12 monthly billing periods. This offer rewards steady monthly spending rather than one large purchase.
You can use these points as statement credits on everyday or travel purchases, at the same rate either way: 1,000 points = $10.
You can also transfer them to Aeroplan, Avios (British Airways and Qatar Airways), Flying Blue, Marriott Bonvoy or Hilton Honors. With the full welcome bonus, that is a choice between:
- 15,000 Aeroplan points
- 15,000 Avios points
- 15,000 Flying Blue Miles
- 18,000 Marriott Bonvoy points
If hotel points are what you are after, our ultimate guide to Marriott Bonvoy and our complete map of Marriott Bonvoy hotels by category show what those points can actually buy.
American Express Cobalt® Card benefits
Here is what the card gives you, starting with the benefits cardholders use most.
- 5X points on eligible eats and drinks in Canada: groceries, restaurants and bars, home food delivery and convenience stores. A spend cap applies.
- 3X points on eligible streaming subscriptions in Canada.
- 2X points on eligible gas, public transit and ride sharing purchases in Canada.
- 1 additional point on eligible hotel and car rental bookings made through American Express Travel Online.
- 1X point per dollar on everything else, with no category restrictions.
- Points that hold the same value either way: 1,000 points = $10 as a statement credit, or a 1:1 transfer to several airline and hotel loyalty programs.
- No minimum income requirement, as with every American Express Canada card.
- Additional cards at no extra cost: the first and every other supplementary card is $0.
- The Hotel Collection: a room upgrade when available, 12pm check-in and late check-out when available, and up to $100 USD in hotel credit on amenities charged to the room for a stay of two or more consecutive nights, booked through American Express Travel.
- Front Of The Line® presale and reserved tickets for concerts and theatre performances, plus offers and events curated for cardmembers through Amex Experiences.
- A soft credit check before you apply: you can see whether you will be approved with no impact to your credit score. This applies to American Express personal card applications.
To see how it compares with the rest of the line-up, read our round-up of the best credit cards from American Express in Canada.
The 5X categories and where they apply
The 5X rate is the reason most people carry this card. In Canada it covers four kinds of merchants:
- Groceries: Metro, IGA, Sobeys, Super C, Safeway, Whole Foods.
- Restaurants and bars: sit-down meals, takeout and drinks.
- Home food delivery.
- Convenience stores: Couche-Tard, 7-Eleven.
The 2X rate covers gas stations such as Esso, Shell and Petro-Canada, along with public transit and ride sharing.
With the American Express Cobalt® Card, you earn between 1 and 5 points per dollar:
| Category | Points per dollar |
| Grocery (Metro, IGA, Sobeys, Super C, etc.) | 5 |
| Home food delivery | 5 |
| Restaurants and bars | 5 |
| Convenience stores | 5 |
| Streaming services | 3 |
| Service station | 2 |
| Transport | 2 |
| Travel | 1 |
| Other | 1 |
That works out to a 1 to 5% return on those purchases. For example, if you spend $1,000 per month across groceries, restaurants and food delivery, you earn $50 back per month, or $600 per year from that category alone. Transfer the points to a program such as Aeroplan instead and the return can be higher.
You can also stack these categories with the hundreds of stores that offer 5x points.
American Express Cobalt® Card insurance coverage
The card comes with a broad insurance package. The amounts below are the coverage limits; conditions, age limits and exclusions are set out in the certificate of insurance linked in the Insurance section above.
Travel insurance
- Emergency medical: up to $5,000,000 for the first 15 days of a trip.
- Travel accident: accidental death and dismemberment of up to $250,000 for you, your spouse and dependent children under age 23 when travelling on a common carrier (plane, train, bus or ship) and the tickets are charged to your card. Supplementary cardholders and their families are covered too.
- Flight delay: up to $500 for necessary hotel, meal and sundry expenses bought within 48 hours when you are delayed or denied boarding for four hours or more and no other transportation is available. This $500 is an aggregate limit per occurrence, shared with missed connection and delayed baggage coverage.
- Delayed baggage: up to $500 for essential clothing and sundries bought within four days when your outbound luggage is delayed six hours or more. This $500 is an aggregate limit per occurrence, shared with missed connection and flight delay coverage.
- Lost or stolen baggage: up to $500 per occurrence for all insured persons combined, for checked or carry-on baggage and personal effects in transit, when the airline tickets are charged to your card. Within that limit, jewellery is capped at $300 per occurrence and golf clubs, including golf bags, at $250 per occurrence.
- Hotel and motel burglary: up to $500 against the loss of most personal items if your hotel or motel is burglarized, when the stay is charged to your card.
Rental car insurance
Theft and damage coverage is included for a rental car with an MSRP, for its model year, of up to $85,000 excluding all taxes, for rentals of up to 48 days. To use it, decline the Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) or any similar option from the rental company and charge the full rental to your card. There is no cost for this coverage, and it replaces the daily insurance the rental company charges, usually $16 to $23 per day.
Mobile device insurance
Your device is covered for up to $1,000 per occurrence when it is charged to the card, for up to two years from the date of purchase. The payout is based on the depreciated value of the device, which falls by 2% of the purchase price for every completed month, less a 10% deductible. Theft and accidental damage coverage starts on the 91st day after purchase, because the first 90 days are covered by purchase protection.
Purchase protection and extended warranty
Eligible items charged to your card are insured against accidental physical damage or theft for 90 days from the purchase date, up to $1,000 per occurrence for all items combined. The card also extends the original manufacturer’s warranty by up to one additional year on eligible items, with indemnification limited to $10,000 per insured item and $25,000 per Cardmember per policy year for all items combined.
American Express Cobalt® Card fees
- Card fee: $15.99 per month, which equals $191.88 per year, for residents outside Quebec. Quebec residents are billed $191.88 per year.
- Additional cards: $0.
- Purchase interest rate: 21.99%.
- Cash advance interest rate: 21.99%.
- Foreign transaction fee: 2.5%.
- Minimum income required: none.
Because the fee is billed monthly rather than in one annual charge, you can stop and restart the cost in step with how much you are actually using the card.

How do I make a multi-partner reservation with Avios?
You’ll need to be patient as you search for availability on each of the flight segments in your Oneworld multi-partner itinerary, one by one.
Using the previous example, it will be frustrating to find seats on all flights, on the dates you want and in the fare class you want, and then hit a wall at the last segment.
In the event that you can’t find a seat on a flight, you can always check on partner programs. In fact, if a Cathay Pacific flight appears available on Asia Miles, you will be able to book it with your Avios even if it does not appear on British Airways Club.
For each segment, make sure you have the following information
- origin and destination
- airline company
- flight number
- date
Once you have your detailed itinerary at hand, simply call to make a reservation!
Conclusion
The Oneworld multi-partner grid is an excellent tool to master to optimize Avios miles.
Aeroplan, Asia Miles, Avios… which is the best program (or mix of programs) to book your dream trip? There is no single answer unfortunately; get out your calculator and do some simulations!

1 This offer only applies to new applications for an RBC Avion Visa Infinite or RBC Avion Visa Platinum credit card (each, an “Eligible Credit Card”) received between “August 13, 2026” and “November 25, 2026” (“Offer Period”) and approved by Royal Bank of Canada (“Royal Bank”) subject to the conditions below. Additional cardholders(s) (co-applicant and authorized user(s)) on the Eligible Credit Card account, as well as existing cardholders on any RBC Royal Bank personal credit card account transferring to an Eligible Credit Card account during the Offer Period, are not eligible for the offer.
35,000 welcome Avion points (“Welcome Points”) will appear on your monthly credit card statement within sixty (60) days after your application has been approved, provided that your Eligible Credit Card account remains open and in good standing at the time the Welcome points are credited to your account, “good standing” meaning that your Eligible Credit Card account must not be past due for more than two (2) consecutive credit card account statement periods, closed, charged off or in credit revoked status.
You will receive 20,000 bonus Avion points (“Bonus Points”) if a total of $5,000 or more (“Qualifying Transaction Amount”) in qualifying net purchases and/or pre-authorized bill payment transactions (“Qualifying Transactions”) are posted to your Eligible Credit Card account within the first six (6) months from your Eligible Credit Card account opening date (“Period”). The Bonus Points will appear on your monthly credit card statement within sixty days (60) after you reach $5,000 in Qualifying Transactions, provided your Eligible Credit Card account remains open and in good standing at the time the Bonus Points are credited to your account.
Qualifying Transactions exclude cash advances (including balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges that you set up with a merchant), interest charges and fees. Credits for returns and adjustments posted to your Eligible Credit Card account during the Period will reduce the amount of your Qualifying Transactions. The Qualifying Transaction Amount is based on the transaction posting date of each Qualifying Transaction, not the transaction date. This means that transactions that take place prior to the last day of the Period will not be considered for the Qualifying Transaction Amount if they have not yet been posted or processed by the merchant, the payment network (Visa) or Royal Bank by the last day of the Period.
15,000 additional Avion points (“Anniversary Points”) will appear on your monthly credit card statement within twelve (12) to sixteen (16) weeks after the one- year anniversary of your account opening, provided that your Eligible Credit Card account remains open and in good standing at the time the Anniversary Points are credited to your account.
If you close or change your Eligible Credit Card Account for another type of RBC Royal Bank credit card before the Welcome Points, the Bonus Points and/or the Anniversary Points have been credited to your account, you may lose the benefit of this offer. This offer may not be combined or used in conjunction with any other offer. Royal Bank reserves the right to cancel, modify or withdraw this offer at any time without notice, even after your application has been approved, including if we suspect that you may be manipulating or abusing it, or engaging in any suspicious or fraudulent activity, as determined by Royal Bank in its sole discretion. For complete terms and conditions that apply to the Avion Rewards Program, please visit www.avionrewards.com or call 1-800-769-2512.
^Point redemptions for flights under the Air Travel Redemption Schedule start at 7,500 points for a short-haul one-way Economy Class flight priced at no more than $175 (and start at 15,000 points for a short-haul round-trip Economy Class flight priced at no more than $350). The traveller is responsible for all applicable taxes, administration fees and surcharges. To learn more, including guidelines regarding redeeming points for a Business Class flight, visit www.avionrewards.com/fr/travel/.
2 Avion points are earned on qualifying net purchases only; they are not earned on cash advances (including balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges that you set up with a merchant) interest charges or fees, and credits for returns and adjustments will reduce or cancel the points earned by the amounts originally charged.
4 To participate in this offer, you must have an RBC debit card or a credit card which is issued by Royal Bank of Canada (excluding RBC commercial credit cards) (“RBC Card”). RBC business clients will only be able to link up to two (2) RBC business credit cards and one (1) RBC business debit card to a Petro-Points card.
You must be enrolled in RBC Online Banking or the RBC Mobile app in order to link your RBC Card to your Petro-Points card. Card linking may take up to 2 business days to process before savings and bonus points can be applied to purchases. A linked RBC Card means an RBC Card linked to a Petro-Points Account. Your linked RBC Card acts as your Petro-Points card. You will automatically earn Petro-Points when you pay for qualifying purchases with your linked RBC Card at Petro-Canada locations and you do not need to swipe your Petro-Points card before you pay. You can redeem your Petro-Points at Petro-Canada using your linked RBC Card. Each time you use your linked RBC Card to purchase any grade of gasoline, or diesel, at a Petro-Canada location, you will save three cents ($0.03) per litre at the time of the transaction.
6 Each time you use your linked Eligible Avion Rewards Credit Card to pay for purchases at a Petro-Canada Location, you will earn a bonus of twenty percent (20%) more Avion points than you normally earn for every $1 in purchases in accordance with the Avion Rewards Terms and Conditions.

Even though some merchants may sell travel products/services, purchases made at these locations may not necessarily qualify for the 1.25 Avion points per dollar if the merchant is not classified with a “travel” MCC.

You must redeem a minimum of 25,000 Be Well points at any time, which are worth $10. Be Well points can be redeemed in $10 increments, up to a maximum of $200 (500,000 Be Well points) in a single transaction. A maximum of 500,000 Be Well points can be redeemed within a 24-hour period.
