If you're looking to up your balance of AAdvantage miles, RBC Avion is the best option. Marriott Bonvoy is a solid backup.
RBC Avion to AAdvantage miles
RBC Avion points transferred from RBC's 'elite' cards can be converted into Marriott Bonvoy points at a 10:7 ratio. Every 1,000 RBC Avion Elite points will give you 700 AAdvantage miles.
If you're a few AAdvantage miles short of a redemption or you're just looking to book award travel with AA, RBC Avion is the best option. Don't forget that you can book travel on AA using their oneworld partners which includes British Airways, Iberia, Qantas, and many more.
Marriott Bonvoy to AAdvantage miles
Marriott Bonvoy points can be transferred to AAdvantage at a 3:1 ratio. This means every 3,000 points you transfer to your AAdvantage account will give you 1,000 miles.
This is a solid earning rate considering that you can earn a high amount of Marriott Bonvoy points per $1 spent at Marriott hotels between base points, elite status points, and point earned using co-branded Marriott credit cards.
So if you fly AAdvantage often and pair that with being loyal to Marriott, you can earn a significant amount of miles.
