How do I redeem my AIR MILES points?

To use Miles instantly in-store, just show your AIR MILES Card at checkout and let the cashier know that you want to use your Cash Miles. Every 95 Cash Miles gets you $10 towards your purchases at select Partners.



As of 2026, the AIR MILES Rewards Program in Canada has undergone a significant modernization, moving away from the old "Dream" and "Cash" mile silos toward a more unified redemption system. To redeem your points, you should first log in to the official AIR MILES website or mobile app. For "Travel" rewards, you can use your miles to book flights, hotels, and car rentals through their dedicated travel portal; you can choose to pay for the entire booking with miles or use a "Miles + Cash" option. For "Merchandise" or "Life" rewards, you can browse an extensive catalog of electronics, kitchenware, and event tickets. If you prefer immediate value, many partners like Shell, Metro, and Indigo allow you to redeem miles directly at the checkout counter (typically 95 miles for $10 off) by simply scanning your digital card. In 2026, the program has also introduced "Instant Vouchers," where you can convert miles into digital gift cards for brands like Amazon or Starbucks within seconds. To maximize your value, look for "Onyx-only" deals or seasonal redemption sales where the cost of flights or products is significantly reduced for a limited time.
