The AIR MILES Mega Miles event launched on May 1st and presents a really nice bonus mile earning opportunity. If you meet the requirement of using Mega Miles coupons at 5 or more sponsors you’ll be awarded with 1,250 Rewards Miles over and above the base miles and coupon bonus miles awarded. You’ll want to get on this promotion sooner than later however as a maximum of 60,000 members (out of ~10 million) will receive the bonus and although the terms and conditions don’t state it we assume they are first come first serve.
Now to earn bonus won’t come cheap if you don’t have an planned shopping this month at the participating sponsors. On the other hand if you do or can move shopping from one retailer to another that is an AIR MILES Sponsor than you can earn those bonus miles for your everyday regular spending.
The cheapest way we found to earn the bonus simply byy looking at all the details on the coupons would be as follows:
Spend $40 on beauty products at Rexall (80 Bonus Miles coupon)
Spend $60 at Michaels (6x Miles Coupon)
Spend $60 at The Children’s Place (20 Bonus Miles Coupon)
Spend $75 at Staples (5x Miles coupon)
Spend $50 at Global Pet Foods (15 Bonus Miles Coupon)
So for $285 in spending you’ll earn the 1,250 Bonus Mega Miles Miles plus your base amount plus the coupon bonuses for an additional 140 miles or 1,390 miles in total. We value AIR MILES Rewards Miles at an average of 13 cents each, so you are getting back $180.70 on your $285 in spending, honestly that’s not a bad return. For some of you it may take more spending but as we mentioned before if this is shopping you are already planning on doing then jump on the Mega Miles event right away so that you can earn this bonus.
