From August 1 to August 31, 2025, you can get a 15% bonus for converting your RBC Avion points to AAdvantage. While we’re used to seeing this kind of promotion for WestJet Rewards or British Airways Club, it only happens once a year for American Airlines’ AAdvantage program.
You must convert a minimum of 5,000 Avion points into AAdvantage miles.
For every 10,000 RBC Avion points, you’ll earn 8,050 AAdvantage miles. The regular conversion rate is 100 Avion points for 70 AAdvantage miles. With this promotion, you’ll earn 80.5 AAdvantage miles for every 100 Avion points. This is a great conversion promotion between RBC Avion Rewards and American Airlines AAdvantage.
For example, by redeeming 35,000 points earned with the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Card, you can earn 28,175 AAdvantage miles.
Here’s a complete guide to transferring your RBC Avion points to other airline programs:
This points transfer bonus can be useful if you want to book an award flight on American Airlines or any of its airline partners. The airline is part of the oneworld alliance, and you can see its full list of airline partners here.
As a reminder, RBC Avion points can be transferred to a number of programs: British Airways Club (Avios that can also be used with Qatar Airways Privilege Club), WestJet Rewards, and Cathay Pacific Asia Miles.
The only other way to earn points transferable to AAdvantage in Canada with credit cards and everyday purchases is with Marriott Bonvoy credit cards. Points earned on your Marriott Bonvoy account can be transferred at a 3:1 ratio to American Airlines AAdvantage. It is therefore possible to combine your accumulation of Avion points with your Marriott Bonvoy points in a strategy aimed at gathering a large quantity of AAdvantage miles for a specific trip.
This conversion bonus can therefore be useful if you have specific flights to book with American Airlines, or if you travel frequently with this airline.
When it comes to flying with airline partners, it’s worth researching and simulating award flights before converting your points, to see if it’s more advantageous to transfer them to AAdvantage from American Airlines or Avios from British Airways Club, for example, since both airlines operate under the oneworld alliance.
Depending on your travel plans and goals, it’s up to you to decide whether this transfer bonus is worthwhile. Don’t forget that the conversion is irreversible; once the points have been transferred to one of these programs, they will remain there until they are used!
If you have RBC Avion points and are planning to travel with American Airlines, now is the time to transfer your points! Combined with the welcome offer of the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privilege Card, this can help you reach your goals for ultra-low-cost flights.
On the other hand, if you have no travel plans, it would be wiser to keep your points in the RBC Avion Rewards program.
