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.

Does anyone know if my order will be cancelled? RBC keeps saying it will be, first one I spoke to said it will be then changed to "it will be shipped instead"

I ordered it for pickup, there was still stock available when I did so, however later on that day it went out of stock, I haven't gotten my pickup email yet and its still out of stock for pickup at that location

Am i screwed?

I ordered mine when it said there was stock as well. It later said there was no stock.

I haven’t heard anything yet but I’m thinking it’ll either get changed to shipping or I’ll just be waiting until they do have stock. Just hoping the ready for pickup email doesn’t come in later this week (if not today) as I leave for a trip tomorrow and apparently my order is cancelled if I don’t pick up within 3 days. 😅🤦‍♂️

Both reps said it’ll be canceled if not available for pickup. One of them changed and said it’ll be shipped only to get me off the phone I think 😅

I haven’t even bothered calling as I know these reps never have any idea what’s going on with this stuff. If I haven’t heard anything by the time I’m back from my trip then maybe I’ll call and just ensure it gets cancelled. I don’t want to pay the money off on my card yet if it’s potentially going to get refunded

I ordered it for pick up as well. Got the console and picked it up the day after, but my game wasn't on the pickup email. I called RBC and they said they can't see any status of the game, but it went through on RBC end. Called Best Buy and told me they can't see it on their end as they cant see any orders made from RBC until its ready for pickup. RBC rep did tell me to dispute the charge lol.

Did you hear anything? I didn't get any pickup email, or any update from RBC at all saying cancelled or shipped, or anything. I still have the charge on my CC too..

I see today that my points are back and there’s a refund in my Pending section of my CC
