The annual 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.
Now to earn bonus won’t come cheap if you don’t have any 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 by looking at all the details on the coupons (Alberta region) would be as follows:
Spend $25 on almost anything at Rexall (50 Bonus Miles coupon)
Spend ~$28 on a minimum 25L purchase at Shell (10 Bonus Miles coupon)
Spend $40 at The Children’s Place (10 Bonus Miles Coupon)
Spend $45 at Staples (5x Miles coupon)
Spend $50 at Timbermart or Global Pet Foods (25 Bonus Miles Coupon or 15 Bonus Miles Coupon)
That’s $188 in spending to earn the 1,250 Bonus Mega Miles Miles
but then you have to add in your base amount miles plus the coupon bonuses for an additional ~100
miles or so for 1,350 bonus miles in total. We value AIR MILES Rewards Miles at an
average of 13 cents each, so you are getting back $175.50 on your $188 in spending, that is a great return. If you strictly earn cash rewards, then you are looking at a return of about $140, still pretty decent for spending $188. 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.
