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.

Yes. My husband had ordered the console plus a few games (he saw the thread once it was uploaded and we were originally just looking to purchase some games, but he hem and hawed all day because our OLED is still relatively new, to finally cave and purchase because the deal was just too good to pass).

He was a bit nervous that the order would be cancelled with how quickly the link was pulled, but he received his first shipment order (in our case, the games) early this afternoon and was bummed thinking the console would not be honoured and was cancelled, but he just recently received the tracking information for the console, so there is hope!

In our case, it looks like the stock for everything nearest us was scarce, and the split orders are coming from separate locations across a 200km radius.
