AIR MILES Travel Bonuses

AIR MILES Travel offering up some big bonuses for bookings made during Thanksgiving weekend!

The timing couldn’t be more perfect – as we revealed our updated Guide to Credit Card & Loyalty Programs for the All Inclusive Vacationer, AIR MILES has revealed some big bonuses for booking travel with them this weekend! AIR MILES is one those programs that allow you to use miles towards All Inclusive Vacation Packages and these Flash Offers can be earned or applied to those packages and any other travel booked via AIR MILES Travel.

Both of the following offers require separate opt-in on the AIR MILES website or the AIR MILES app with bookings made between October 11 and 14 for travel completed by March 31, 25. The opt-in is already open.

Earn up 2,500 bonus miles on paid travel bookings

The first bonus is for paid AIR MILES Travel bookings made with a credit card. This is valid for flight, accommodation, car rental, packages, and extras however cruises are excluded.

The bonuses are awarded as follow (must be made in a single transaction)

  • Get 2,500 Bonus Miles when you spend $750 or more — that’s $260 in value with AIR MILES Cash.
  • Get 1,000 Bonus Miles when you spend $500 – $749.99 — that’s $100 in value with AIR MILES Cash.
  • Get 100 Bonus Miles when you spend $100 – $499.99 – that’s $10 in value with AIR MILES Cash.

In addition to the bonus miles that you can earn above you’ll also receive the base AIR MILES on your standalone bookings as follows:

  • Onyx Collectors – 1 Reward Mile for every $5 spent
  • Gold Collectors – 1 Reward Mile for every $10 spent
  • Blue Collectors – 1 Reward Mile for every $15 spent

If you book bundled travel (Flight+Hotel, Flight+Car etc.) the above base mile earn rates are multiplied as follows:

  • Onyx Collectors – 5x the Miles on bundled bookings
  • Gold Collectors – 4x the Miles on bundled bookings
  • Blue Collectors – 3x the Miles on bundled bookings

The earning doesn’t stop there as those collectors paying with a BMO AIR MILES®† MasterCard®* or a BMO AIR MILES®† World Elite®* MasterCard®* will earn 3x miles on AIR MILES Travel Purchases.  That translates to 3 Miles per $12 spent on the World Elite card and 3 Miles per $25 spend on the no fee AIR MILES card.

Redeem miles for paid travel bookings and get up to 2,250 miles back

The second bonus up for grabs is a rebate on using Dream Miles towards travel booked via AIR MILES Travel. This is valid for flight, accommodation, car rental, packages, and extras however cruises are excluded.

The bonus miles are awarded as follows:

  • Redeem 9,000 Dream Miles™  and earn 2,250 Bonus Miles —that’s 25% back in Miles!
  • Redeem 6,000 Dream Miles™ and earn 1,200 Bonus Miles —that’s 20% back in Miles!
  • Redeem 3,000 Dream Miles™ and earn 350 Bonus Miles –that’s almost 12% back in Miles!

The two offers can be combined!

The redemption 0ffer can be combined with other offers including the bonus miles offer for travel paid for with your credit card. So if you do a mixed Cash+Miles booking you can receive the miles back on the amount you redeem (as long as you redeem at least 3,000 miles) and then you can earn the bonus miles on the cash portion (as long as it is $100 before any taxes and fees).

This is confirmed in the T&C’s of the offer:

Collectors can use Dream Miles and a credit card and still earn Bonus Miles on the portion of the booking redeemed with Dream Miles, provided that the Dream Miles redemption portion satisfies the minimum redemption amount outlined in the offer.
