15% Transfer Bonus from RBC Avion to American Airlines AAdvantage

RBC Avion puts on occasional transfer bonuses to its airline partner programs, which is always the best time to transfer points if you have a redemption in mind.

For the second year in a row, RBC Avion has kicked off the month of August with a transfer bonus to American Airlines AAdvantage.

 This time, you can transfer RBC Avion Rewards points to American Airlines AAdvantage miles and receive 15% more, valid from August 1–31, 2025.

15% Transfer Bonus from RBC Avion to American Airlines AAdvantage

RBC Avion is offering a 15% transfer bonus to American Airlines AAdvantage miles for the entire month of August 2025, so you have lots of time to do your research and take advantage of the offer if you feel it’s right for you.

This is the second time we’ve seen a transfer bonus offered for American Airlines AAdvantage in the last couple of years, and hopefully this means that we’ll see it more often going forward.

Conversion bonuses like these are a great way to boost account balances without any extra cost to you, and in fact, they’re the best time to transfer points out of your account.

This time, for every 10 Avion points which are converted, you’ll receive 8.05 American Airlines AAdvantage miles. That means the conversion rate improves from the standard 1:0.7 transfer ratio to 1:0.805.

Unfortunately, the bonus isn’t coded into the conversion platform on the Avion Rewards website (it was last year), which means that you’ll see the standard 1:0.7 transfer ratio. However, as long as you make a transfer during the promotion, you’ll get the transfer bonus.

To be eligible for the transfer bonus, you’ll need to have an eligible RBC Avion credit card, and make a transfer between August 1 and August 31, 2025.

You need to convert a minimum of 5,000 Avion points, and after that, you can increase the amount in increments of 10 points.

While the rate might not be as lucrative as a 1:1 transfer rate available to other partnered programs available through Avion Rewards, when you add in the 15% bonus, it does make things more exciting than usual, especially given the fact that AAdvantage has some excellent redemption opportunities, as we’ll explore below.

It’s also good to keep in mind that the current welcome bonuses on the lineup of RBC Avion credit cards offer a tidy swath of points upon approval, which means you’d be able to take advantage of a welcome bonus, and…
