AIR MILES frequently posts offers with the AIR MILES “multiplier”. I might as well warn you, this system is far from being easy to understand! Explanations.
Recently, on the AIRMILESSHOPS portal, there was the 5x AIR MILES offer for the Family & Friends event.
And right now, you can get up to 7X AIR MILES during AIR MILES “shopping week”.
All these offers are based on a base offer, a premium offer and a multiplier.
Each AIRMILESSHOPS affiliated merchant first offers a “basic package”. This is 1 AIR MILE for every $20 in purchases.
Let’s take the example of the Apple Store.
In addition to the basic offer, there is an AIR MILES “bonus offer” that each merchant can customize. This usually applies to a specific amount: “get 10 AIR MILES for every $50 in our store”.
This is a special limited-time offer that allows you to earn two, five, seven or even ten times the AIR MILES. This offer is in addition to the offers described above. This is a great opportunity to earn multiple AIR MILES for a single purchase.
However, there is a nuance: you cannot get the basic offer when the multiplier is in effect.
What does this mean? To simplify the calculation, subtract one digit from each of the multiplier quotients! The current 7X AIR MILES offer… is actually only 6X. Like a “bonus offer” of 2X AIR MILES… is actually only 1X.
Explanation with a $1,000 purchase on the Apple Store right now.
So your purchase, which usually earns 1 AIR MILES per $20, will earn you 8 AIR MILES per $20 during this promotion!

If you’re an AIR MILES fan, a credit card is your ticket to earning even more AIR MILES on your purchases. Only BMO and American Express offer AIR MILES credit cards.
