The Air Miles rewards program has enhanced its travel platform to offer new earnings opportunities for points collectors and the ability to book trips using the new all-in-one platform.
Air Miles Travel has introduced more ways to earn Miles, giving up to 12.5 per cent in value back to travel-booking collectors. When booking, collectors can select how they want to pay. Pay for travel with a credit card and earn Miles, for example, or use Dream Miles to fund a flight, car, hotel, and more. Or, collectors can choose a combination of both. Soon, collectors will have the option to finance a trip with the launch scheduled later this year.
Air Miles Travel now also offers earn rates for standalone travel bookings (varies by Onyx, Gold, and Blue collectors), and the ability to earn up to 5x the Miles on bundled trips anywhere in the world (example: flight and accommodations or flight and car rentals). Collectors will also earn 3x the Miles on the total credit card spend when paying with a BMO Air Miles Mastercard or a BMO Air Miles World Elite Mastercard.
There are also new travel partners, including leading international and domestic airlines as well as alternative lodging options such as all-inclusive hotels and vacation homes. You can also redeem points for more travel options like tours, excursions, theme park tickets, and more.
Everything, meanwhile, can be booked in one platform, including flights, hotels, and extras. In addition to booking through Air Miles Travel, members can continue to redeem Reward Miles for daily essentials like gas and groceries using Cash Miles, or buy merchandise, experiences, and other travel through Dream Miles.
“The enhancements we’ve made to our travel booking platform are a game changer for collectors, aligned with Air Miles’ reinvigorated commitment to increasingly invest in new ways to earn and redeem” says Shawn Stewart, President, Air Miles Reward Program. “Air Miles Travel has been enhanced to ensure an exceptional and seamless travel-booking experience, showcasing the richest travel earning opportunity in the market, and thus, highlighting the improved value of being an Air Miles collector.”
Air Miles has more than 10 million active collector accounts, which represents more than half of all Canadian households. The Reward Miles can be earned at more than 300 Canadian global and online brands and thousands of retail and service locations across the country.
