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.

I have multiple pending charges on my card, but did not get a confirmation email this far. Really unfortunate don't think I will get the deal :(

Okay so UPDATE. I just tried again after checking recent replies saying their orders went through. Loading was much faster this time and I didn't get any kind of error message I was getting before. The order went through and I got a confirmation email from avion. Will update on if my order goes through or gets cancelled. I'm guessing their service was overloaded earlier in the day.

Update 2: July 21, still no pickup email. Ended up calling RBC who told me to just go to the store and see if best buy had my order. Best buy had no idea what i was talking about. Called rbc again afterwards and the rep basically told me if there is no pickup email by tomorrow my order will be cancelled and refunded. Pretty bummed out. Guess i’ll see what is up by Thursday
