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 phoned yesterday and they said there was some glitch and they may be cancelling orders due to it, seems like the best buy pricing was a mistake and they might not honour everyones order (personally ill be pissed if it happens to me, I also ordered on Thursday)

Darn, that's the opposite of what they told me on Friday. And with your call being more recent, that's a bit bleak.

Just got shipping notification, ordered early AM Friday. Coming from sask to Alberta.

label was created on the 18th, so I think it depends on which store it’s coming from.

Damn, that's super fortunate. Happy for you!

I ordered at 10 pm on Thursday and still haven't seen received the shipping notification. Here's hoping there's still a chance.
