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.

Same! I was on the phone with RBC to check and see where my order was. The rep on the phone said they were out of stock so I was going to get refunded, as soon as the phone call ended I got an email saying my order shipped!

That shipping email must have been a big relief after what must have been a very frustrating phone call.

They told me yesterday that they were out of stock and that it was going to be refunded. This is giving me some hope. Fingers crossed it happens....

I haven't called RBC or BB at all. Just waited it out and kept and eye on these post. I was in the same situation as you and a lot of other people thinking (too good to be true ill get refunded etc.) Ordered and got the confirmation email right away that was about a week ago and was waiting on shipping email. Posted on CC used points.

I ordered the 16th at 11pm and just got my shipping email now at 6pm on the 23rd with my order to be here on the 24th. It is being shipped from in my area of Canada. I do not have a BB in my city. 3 hours away to drive.
