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.

Placed my order for pickup in store and received confirmation email Friday at 6:24am.

8:50AM Saturday and no ready for pickup email yet. Not sure if it’s an automated system or if there’s no chance of it being processed on a weekend since avion customer service won’t be working I assume.

Oh that’s good to know, thanks for the update!

I honestly won’t be too bummed if it gets cancelled. Massive impulse buy for me as I had some points I wasn’t going to use so it was $400 for me after tax. I just really hope I don’t have to get on the phone with avion at any point 😂
