How do I contact AIR MILES?

For AIR MILES hotel and car bookings questions or comments, please click Chat with an Expert for instant support with a Customer Care specialist right through our website, or call us at 1-833-345-7003 (North America) 1-332-600-6638 (International).



To contact the AIR MILES Reward Program in 2026, the most direct method is by calling their Customer Care center at 1-888-AIR-MILES (1-888-247-6453). For collectors in the Toronto area, a local line is available at (416) 226-5171. Beyond phone support, the program has shifted heavily toward digital self-service via their official website, airmiles.ca, and the mobile app. On the website, you can use the "Chat with us" feature for real-time AI assistance or access the "Help" section to submit specific inquiries regarding missing miles, account merges, or reward redemptions. If you are experiencing issues with a specific transaction, the "Contact Us" page includes an email form where you can upload digital receipts. Social media channels, particularly X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook, also serve as active touchpoints for general status updates or quick customer service redirects. Their operating hours generally follow Eastern Standard Time, so it is best to call mid-morning to avoid peak wait times.

Here's the catch. Air Miles themselves do not expire. But, if your account “expires” by being “dormant” (or inactive) for 24 consecutive months, then the points on it will disappear. An account is considered inactive if there are no points transactions within that period.

Your AIR MILES Account will be considered dormant if you have not collected, used, bought or transferred at least one Mile for 24 consecutive months or longer. Once an Account goes dormant, all Miles within the Account will also be cancelled, and you'll no longer receive Program Updates from us by email.
