RBC Avion to AAdvantage Transfer Bonus

RBC Avion is giving travellers a little extra mileage out of their points this month.

Until September 3, 2026, eligible Avion Elite members can transfer Avion points to American Airlines AAdvantage and receive a 15% bonus. The minimum transfer is 5,000 Avion points.

Normally, 10 Avion points convert to 7 AAdvantage miles. During the promotion, that improves to 8.05 AAdvantage miles for every 10 Avion points.

So, 50,000 Avion points would normally become 35,000 AAdvantage miles, but with the bonus, you'd receive 40,250 miles instead.

Get the RBC Avion – AAdvantage transfer bonus

RBC Avion Rewards has three membership tiers: Select, Premium, and Elite. This offer is specifically for Avion Elite members, which includes customers with eligible RBC Avion credit cards, like the RBC Avion Visa Infinite and RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privilege.

Elite status unlocks the broadest lineup of airline transfer partners. Avion Elite members can convert points to American Airlines AAdvantage, British Airways Avios, Cathay Pacific Asia Miles, and WestJet Rewards.

Transfers are permanent, so it's smart to have a travel plan in mind before moving points.
