RBC has made a small but significant enhancement to the Air Travel Redemption Schedule (Reward chart) for their Avion cards. That enhancement sees the addition of one way reward flight redemptions at 50% of the cost of round trip reward flights.
The HSBC Rewards transfer bonus to British Airways Executive Club is now live! We first gave you advance notice back in May and now a reminder that you can receive a 30% bonus when converting your points! The last few iterations of the bonus have seen it at 35% and 40%, so it is not as high this time but still a very worthy bonus to consider. This could be a prime time for those of you who grabbed the HSBC World Elite Mastercard in Fall of 2020 and missed the offer last July to convert now. Those of you who signed up for the card in Fall of 2021 with the 100K bonus should have a sizeable amount of points as well to consider converting.
A buy points bonus for Marriott Bonvoy has returned and this time it is a mystery bonus that will be revealed after you log in. It appears the bonus can be as high as 55%, personally I only received 45% bonus while my wife received The bonus is awarded on purchases from 2,000 to 100,000 points and that 100,000 is a doubling of the typical 50,000 point annual limit for buying points.
We see the return of an Amex Offers statement credit offer for purchasing tickets with Air France and KLM.

This time they upped the ante significantly as they offering a $250 statement credit when you spend $1,000 or more. Here in the Rewards Canada household we received these offers on The Platinum Card.
Here are Rewards Canada's Top Travel Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of June 2022! This is not a 'best' credit card list like our Top Travel Rewards Credit Card rankings but instead a look at cards that have very good acquisition (welcome/sign up) offers. As always when choosing a card you should always take other factors into account other than the just sign up bonus, but when some of these cards are first year free, they can and do pay off even when you grab them strictly for the sign up rewards.
