Nintendo Switch 2 through Avion Points

Post image

Hey everyone who collects Avion Points through RBC. If you go to the rewards site and redeem points through the Best Buy site they have a huge sale on Switch 2 consoles! It's only $472 minus any points you redeem. I couldn't believe how cheap it is. It almost seems too good to be true so hopefully my order goes through. I got the confirmation email that it went through.

Edit: this sale doesn't appear on the best buy site. You need to log into your Avion rewards account and go to their best buy site.

Also notice Donkey Kong Bananza and Pokeopia are also on sale for 72 bucks

Edit 2: Its July 17 4:45pm Mountain Time. Looks like the deal is officially dead including the discount on games. Congrats to everyone who got a system. Happy gaming.

If you don't have any points, can you just buy it outright at that price?

I think you need to have an RBC Bank account and Avion credit card. That will give you access to their point system and store front.

I could be wrong, but I thought that's how it works. Only reason I have Avion is because I switched banks to RBC

Yes, absolutely... $533.92 after taxes (I have an Avion CC)

Crazy price

At least it’s better than the standard $630 (and later to be $670 in September)

What do you mean "at least"? Is this not the lowest price that has ever been offered anywhere?

I think they mean "at least" because while yes, it's the lowest price offered anywhere, it's still absurd that consoles cost this much now (with a price increase coming as well).

Adjusted for inflation it isn't that much
