AIR MILES is making modest improvements to its program to provide more flexibility for members. These minor changes are designed to make it easier for members to earn and redeem Miles.
The AIR MILES program will transition to the new Blue Rewards program in summer 2026. Members’ Miles will be converted to Blue points at an equivalent value. For full details on these changes, read our article on Blue Rewards.
Transferring Miles between Cash and Dream accounts has been a success. Since this option launched in June 2024, members have transferred 160 million Miles, with over 123 million of those redeemed for rewards. 45% of these rewards were redeemed for highly popular e-vouchers at merchants like Amazon, Walmart, Dollarama, St-Hubert, Air Canada, Reitmans, Airbnb, and more.
At first, only certain members could transfer miles between their Cash and Dream accounts.
From now on, the program extends its Dreams and Cash balance transfer functionality to all members!
You can obtain Onyx status by having the BMO® AIR MILES® World Elite®* Mastercard®*, in particular.
Previously, Dream Miles could be purchased for 30 cents per mile.
As of March 4, members can now purchase miles at a rate of 20 cents per mile, with options to purchase in increments of :
At Milesopedia, we value one AIR MILE at 10.5 cents. So, if one AIR MILE costs more than our valuation of 10.5 cents, it is not a good value. This may only be useful if you are just a few Miles short of redeeming your dream reward.
AIR MILES continues to expand its network with the addition of new partners to collect miles with a linked Mastercard credit card:
The AIR MILES program now has over 9.5 million active accounts in Canada.
The ability to transfer Miles between Dream and Cash balances offers greater flexibility. While the option to purchase Miles is more expensive than traditional earning, it can be useful for topping up your balance when you’re close to redeeming a long-awaited reward.
