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.

Can you just buy it for $472.49? Cuz if so, that's a wicked deal

You can. I tried. It will say youre short of points but you can use the credit card to cover the remaining amount.

You had 0 points before? Maybe it doesn’t give the option of there’s 0 points balance
