50% Transfer Bonus for RBC Rewards (Avion only) to British Airways Executive Club is back until Dec 17, 16

Many of you ask when this offer will return and as always we are proud to let you know the much loved transfer bonus from RBC Rewards to British Airways Executive Club is back.  And finally we have great news with it, it has moved back to a 50% bonus rather than the 30% we had seen during the last couple times this offer came about!

The offer is for all of you RBC Avion cardholders (Infinite and Platinum) and runs until  December 17th. Despite the BA devaluations this promotion is still a great deal as BA Avios are a great option for flights to Asia (via Cathay Pacific), short to medium haul within North America  (short haul offer is great on Alaska Airlines or American Airlines see this post here) and even though huge surcharges are added to their UK/Europe redemptions they can still be an alright value because of this bonus based on your spend with the credit card (see my post about Earn & Burn for an explanation). As always though with any frequent flyer program you will have to be flexible in your options when redeeming due to seat availability issues (ie it may be hard to get tickets to Europe in Summer etc.) so take this into consideration before transferring.
