I have a Cathay first class flight booked in avios next week
Take ur rbc reward card and upgrade to an infinit Avion
Pay the AF. Get ur bonus points and ur existing points should transfer to Avion points
From there u can transfer ur Avion to avios points but wait for the bonus promo...used to be 50% but only 30% this year due to low dollar
And from there spend ur avios.
I use my amex gold card for all travel grocery and gas...about 30 to 40k spend on that a year yields me 60to 80k points since those cats gores earn at 2x.
Then on my amex plat I spend about 40k a year so that gets me abother 50k MR points. Since everything is 1.25x
So that's 110 to 130k Mr points a year
Convert that to avios or aeroplan. ...wait for a promo where it's 25% bonus. And that's usually enough for a round trip in J every year.
