If HSBC sent an Avion card as a replacement, does it come with the 35K welcome bonus?
Unfortunately, it does not. Only the points from HSBC being converted to RBC.
Hi Omer, no, the only “bonus” of sorts was a one-time travel credit to be used through the RBC travel portal: https://princeoftravel.com/news/rbc-to-transition-hsbc-cardholders-by-march-2024/
I have been trying to transfer RBC Anion to BA but didn’t go through as it’s says due to technical issues and promotions date are gone , can anyone help me knowing what it could be and when is best time to try again and also best time to book for South Asia flight from west coast canada thanks !
I transferred approximately 300K Avion points to Avios and they transfer went through a few days later, but no bonus points posted. Has anyone had any luck rectifying this issue? It looks like I’m not the only experiencing it.
And same issue with me; transferred 32,000 points, received 32,000. Guess RBC put on the promotion and forgot to tell BA.
I have not received the 30% bonus Avios. RBC representative said I should talk to BA Avios, because they have no control on Avios points. But BA Executive Club representative sent me back to RBC. Now what?
I had the same issue. No bonus points were credited. What a pain in the ass to have to chase them down.
“Thank you for contacting the Club about earning Avios with Royal Bank of Canada.
I have contacted them about your claim, and I appreciate your patience while we look into this for you.”
That’s RBC, not BA. Even if RBC representative told me they have nothing to do with AVIOS and I should contact BA.
I’m having the same issue. Transferred 61,000 points on April 3 and 61,000 were deposited into my BA account. Any luck sorting this out?
Same with me, I have not received the 30% bonus. I guess as this is BA Avios Promotion, nothing to do with RBC. I emailed BA about it & waiting for their response.

@Mak, the best FFP site to search for Art Lingus’ availability is United.com. They are partners. Make sure you look for “X” fare.
To login to Avions.com, you need either an Aerclub account (Aer Lingus’ FFP) or VUELING’s. I recommend Aerclub. You can transfer your BA Avios to Aerclub. The taxes are lower booking through Aerclub.
Hope this helps.
What would be the best way to apply for both the Platinum and Infinite cards? One in-branch and one online? Or could you apply for both together in-branch/online/on the phone?
I have exactly the same question! Anyone have recent experience with RBC? My credit score is super high, but RBC doesn’t give me instant approval most of the time.
I pooled up quite a bit for redeeming the so call Oneworld Multi-Carrier Awards but due to these uncertain times, i would give it a shot by testing YYZ-DUB first.
Can any one tell why i am not able to signup for AVIOS and the only options are available to sign in using FFP which is my BA account.
Not sure how to search for YYZ-DUB as cannot signup to AVIOS directly and dont have
Expertflyer..
appreciate any insights
U think mine will come through ? I literally transferred Last nignt lol
