How to get the most out of your Avion points

Hack #1: Know your points-to-cash value

They best way to make the most of your points is to understand what cash value you are dealing with. So how much is 1 Avion point really worth? It depends on your membership level, and what you’re using your points for. For example, $1 in points could be:

	Select	Premium	Elite
Travel	172 points	100 points	43–100 points
Merchandise	141 points	118–141 points	118–141 points
Gift cards	141 points	141 points	100–141 points

These are the standard redemption rates, varying on what product you hold and what type of purchase you are making. Keeping your finger on the pulse for deals on offers will help you take this value even further. Keep logging in to Avion Rewards to see your personalized offers.

Hack #2: Catch the best transfer bonuses

Ready for a massive value boost? Keep an eye out for transfer bonuses throughout the year. These special promotions typically run for about a month at a time and can add serious value to your points. For instance, there have been previous promotions where you can catch a 30% bonus when converting Avion points to British Airways Avios. At times, we also see fantastic offers like a 15% bonus for Cathay Pacific Asia Miles. Timing your transfers during these windows is a smart member move.

Hack #3: Stay on top of special deals and sales

Some of Avion Rewards’ best points value comes from our special offers and deals. These happen regularly, so if you know what to look out for, you can save even more on shopping, travel and financial rewards.

For example, gift cards and merchandise can have deals of up to 30% off when shopping with points, and Financial Rewards offers deals like 20% off when you Pay with Points. These deals happen all the time, so keep logging into your Avion Rewards account to stay informed on what’s on offer.

Hack #4: Convert your points to other loyalty programs

Another key hack is to be aware that Avion Rewards has partnerships with other leading loyalty programs, such as Triangle Rewards, Moi Rewards, More Rewards, Petro-Canada, and Rexall. Transferring your points to these programs can get you super-charged savings on your everyday shopping. Log in to Avion Rewards and click on the partner banners to link.
