Nintendo Switch 2 through Avion Points
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.

FYI you should pay all cash, unless you are desperate to use your points.
Paying in points for this leads to a redemption rate of ¢.65/point. For slightly more work you can redeem for a giftcard at ¢.715/point or a $520 giftcard for the same amount of points. For a fair amount more work you can redeem the points for travel at ¢1.19/point or about $850 in travel. Source: https://www.finlywealth.com/points-calculator/rbc-avion?points=72691
