a combination of Points and a Payment Card (RBC credit
card). In the event that you do not have the required number
of Points for your purchase, you will be required to pay for
the outstanding balance with a Payment Card (RBC credit

You must have the required number of Points in your

price in dollars for an item are displayed in the Program’s
online catalogue. Applicable taxes and any other additional
fees, if any, are not included in the required number of
Points or corresponding basic price in dollars for the item.
Any applicable taxes and/or fees will clearly be displayed in
the checkout process as you work to complete your
transaction.
c. All merchandise appearing in the Program’s online catalogue
are subject to availability. Also, we reserve the right to limit
the quantity of the same item you may want to order in one
transaction. If that is the case, and you wish to order more
than the maximum quantity allowed in one transaction, a
separate order(s) will need to be placed for the additional
item(s).
d. When you order an item through this Program, Royal Bank
relies on the information you provided in your client profile
with Royal Bank to complete your order, including your
registration information (name and email address), which
must be true, accurate, current and complete. If the
shipping information, such as the apartment number or
street address is not correct on your profile, please contact
Royal Bank at the number indicated in the “How to contact
Royal Bank” section of these terms to update your address
before placing your order. You will be solely responsible and
liable to Royal Bank for any and all costs associated with the
loss, damage, and/or additional costs that you, Royal Bank
or any other person may incur as a result of your submission
of any false, incorrect or incomplete information.
e. Items redeemed from the Best Buy catalog are not eligible
for the Best Buy low price guarantee.
3. Ship to Home – Order Policy
Avion Rewards Redemption, Return & Exchange Terms & Conditions for Best Buy Page 2 of 6 (01/2023)
a. Shipping and handling charges may apply to the delivery of
some items and if applicable, those charges will clearly be
displayed to you prior to completing your transaction.
b. If the item(s) you ordered is in stock, Royal Bank will e-mail
you a notice confirming that the item(s) has been shipped
and is en route to you. That notice is Royal Bank’s
acceptance of your order.
c. If an item you ordered becomes unavailable after you place
your order, Royal Bank will notify you via email and you will
be refunded in the original method of payment (Points,
Payment Card or the combination of Points and a Payment
Card) within (5) to eight (8) business days from the time
Royal Bank receives notification.
d. In stock orders (excluding Scheduled Delivery Items) will
normally get delivered within seven (7) business days of
placing your order. How soon you receive the item(s)
depends on the shipping transit time.
e. For Scheduled Delivery Items, if your delivery is local, you’ll
receive an email after your order has been processed
notifying you of a suggested delivery date. If your delivery is
remote, you’ll receive an email after your order has been
processed notifying you that our home delivery carrier will
be contacting you directly to schedule a delivery date.
f. Except for Scheduled Delivery Items, if you have not
received your shipment within seven (7) business days,
please contact Royal Bank at the number indicated in the
“How to contact Royal Banksection of these terms and they
will investigate the matter for you. If the investigation
confirms the item(s) was delivered to you, then you will not
be eligible to receive any refund for the item(s).
g. You may be able to request delivery updates directly from
the carrier’s Website by following the steps below. You’ll be
able to set up similar notifications via the websites of other
carriers as well:
i. Locate your tracking number (provided in Shipping
Confirmation email);
ii. Visit the carrier’s “Track a Package” page and enter your
tracking number;
iii. Select "Request Delivery Updates by email"; and
iv. Complete the request form and press “submit”.
h. If the tracking information indicates that your item(s) is
being returned to sender or has become undeliverable, you
will be refunded in the original method of payment (Points,
Payment Card or the combination of Points and a Payment
Card) and notified by Royal Bank via email in approximately
(5) to eight (8) business days from the time the merchant
receives the item back in their facility. You can track your
refund by reviewing your Loyalty Transaction History on
rbcrewards.com or the Avion Rewards App.
i. If shipping information such as the apartment number or
street address was incorrect when placing your order, your
order may be returned to us without any delivery attempts
being made. To avoid any additional delays, we suggest
tracking your package regularly, or requesting delivery
updates from the carrier through their website.
j. The carrier will not leave a package on your doorstep if you
are not home to receive it. Instead, the carrier will leave you
a note with an address to the closest postal outlet where you
can pick up your package by showing a valid piece of
government ID.
k. When certain items that weigh 30Kg or more are delivered
by a third party carrier (like Purolator or UPS etc.), delivery
personnel may not bring the item all the way into your
residence if the item is considered a potential health and
safety risk or if there is no one available to assist the carrier
driver. In certain cases, especially when delivery access may
be obstructed or otherwise potentially dangerous, items
may be left at the door or taken to a shipping depot for pick
up after a delivery attempt is made.
l. Manufacturers will sometimes provide products that only
contain English. Since this is not in compliance with Quebec
language legislation, these English-only products cannot be
shipped to the province of Quebec. Customers within
Quebec may still purchase this product as long as it is
shipped to a province outside of Quebec. If an order is
placed that falls within these restrictions, we will cancel the
order, notify you via email, and process a refund back to the
original method of payment (Points, Payment Card, or a
combination of Points and a Payment Card).
4. “Quick and Easy Store Pickup” – Order
Policy
a. The merchandise section of the Program’s online catalogue
allows you to search for all items in the catalogue, as well as
identify items that are available for the Quick and Easy Store
Pickup at a local Best Buy store option.
b. If the Quick and Easy Store Pickup option is available, it
means that you can pick up the item at a local Best Buy store.
If the Quick and Easy Store Pickup option is not available,
Avion Rewards Redemption, Return & Exchange Terms & Conditions for Best Buy Page 3 of 6 (01/2023)
that item can only be shipped to you from a distribution
center and cannot be picked up at a local Best Buy store.
c. Once the order is placed through the Quick and Easy Store
Pickup, the delivery option cannot be changed to a “Ship to
Home” order.
d. The availability of an item for the Quick and Easy Store
Pickup option is based upon the postal code or the city and
province provided in your client profile with Royal Bank.
e. Once you are ready to proceed to check out, you will be
required to pay for your order in totality, including any
applicable taxes and/or additional fees, by using your Points
or a combination of Points and a Payment Card.
f. Once you have completed the checkout process, an order
confirmation email will be sent to the email address
specified on the order. This does not mean the item(s) is
ready for pick up, as it is only a confirmation that the order
has been received.
g. If we discover there is an issue with inventory or your
method of payment, another follow-up email will be sent
notifying you that we cannot process your order and you will
be refunded in the original method of payment (Points,
Payment Card or the combination of Points and a Payment
Card).
h. Once the order is ready for pick up, another email will be
sent to the email address specified on the order, which will
notify you that the order is ready for pick up at the selected
store (during the store’s regular business hours). The item(s)
ordered with the Quick and Easy Store Pickup will be listed
on that email.
i. Typically, if you placed your order during business hours, you
should receive an email confirmation within one (1) hour of
the order being placed. For orders placed outside of
business hours, you should receive a confirmation within
one (1) hour of the next store opening on the next business
day. However, some items may take longer to process at the
selected store during high peak periods.
j. Only the person identified on the order, as entered during
the checkout process, may pick up the order. This person
must present the Ready for Pickup email confirmation at
time of pick up. The email confirmation will contain the
order number needed to identify your individual order. To
pick up the order, this person will need to provide the ready
for pickup email confirmation and 2 pieces of valid ID that
matches the name on the order. At least one piece of ID
should be a government-issued photo ID. The second piece
should have the same name, e.g. credit card, debit card. If
you or this person does not have this information, the order
cannot be picked up from the store.
k. Once arriving at the selected store, proceed to the
designated pickup area. Find out which service your local
store is offering by using our store locator -
https://stores.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/search
l. The item(s) that you ordered will be available for pick up at
the selected store for three (3) calendar days after the email
notification is sent to you. If your order has been confirmed
and you don’t pick up your order within three (3) days, it will
automatically be cancelled. Your order will be refunded
through your original method of payment (Points, Payment
Card or the combination of Points and a Payment Card) in
five (5) to eight (8) business days.
5. Return Policy
a. General Rules
i. For all returns , you will need the following:
(1) If you picked up your item(s) in store, the Ready

(2) If your item(s) were delivered to you, the
“Purchase Order Number” that was indicated on
the confirmation email that was sent to you after
you placed your order; and
(3) Original packaging of the item(s) being returned.
For complete details, please read Sub-Sections (ii)
and (iii) below.

returned in their original purchase condition and with
everything that formed part of the original packaging
including blank warranty cards, manuals and any other

item, the free gift included or bonus item must also be
returned to qualify for a refund.
iii. Also, we cannot accept returns of items missing the
serial number or UPC (Universal Product Code), and we
will not issue refunds for such items.
iv. If you purchased an item as part of a bundle package,
you may return that item separately. However, if you
decide to break up that bundle by returning an item, the
price of all items in the bundle reverts to what they
would be if they were purchased individually.
Therefore, you will receive a refund for the returned
Avion Rewards Redemption, Return & Exchange Terms & Conditions for Best Buy Page 4 of 6 (01/2023)
item that is less than the price you paid for it when you
purchased it as part of a bundle.
v. If you were charged an Environmental Handling Fee
with your original purchase, this fee will be refunded,
along with the cost of the item(s).

Buy store to return the item(s), whereupon we will
refund you with a Best Buy gift card.

the purchase price of the original item(s) you ordered,
even if you have paid for your item(s) using Points
and/or a Payment Card. This means that, when
returning an item(s) in a local Best Buy store, we
cannot process a refund to your Payment Card
account, if originally used, and no Points will be
credited back to your Points account.
6. Order Cancellations
a. A request to cancel an order for a full refund can be made at
any time after placing the order. However, since most
orders are processed in less than an hour, cancellation is not
guaranteed. It is important you make your cancellation
request as soon as possible because once an order is
processed and is ready for pick up or being processed to be
shipped, it cannot be cancelled. In that case, you can always
return the item as per the appropriate return policy outlined
in these Terms.
b. A cancellation request must be initiated through Royal Bank

“How to contact Royal Bank” section of these terms during

your Payment Card account, if one was used for the
redemption, within five (5) to eight (8) business days.
7. Errors or Misprints on the Program’s
Online Catalogue
a. How we fix errors depends on the nature of the error. If we
find that a product description on the Program’s online
catalogue is incorrect, for example, we`ll work to correct it.
b. While we take steps to ensure the accuracy and
completeness of product descriptions and information
provided by third-party services, please refer to the
originator of the information (e.g. the manufacturer) for
complete product details. In general, you should know that
the required number of Points for an item, the
corresponding basic price in dollars and availability of the
item are subject to change without notice.

not the order has been confirmed and your Points have been

corresponding basic price in dollars for any item you order
was incorrectly displayed on the Program’s online catalogue.
If this happens, we will provide you with an opportunity to
place an order at the correct price.
