Sommaire

AIR MILES Rewards

Before revealing to you our tactic to earn 4,000 AIR MILES Bonus miles for free, a quick reminder on the 2 types of AIR MILES rewards: CASH Rewards or DREAM Rewards.

CASH Rewards

AIR MILES CASH rewards have the advantage of simplicity: 95 miles = $10, which means that 1 Cash Miles = 10.5 cents.

You can redeem CASH Miles at your IGA grocery store or JEAN COUTU drugstore, for example. A good value is to get Disney gift cards!

Milesopedia’s members know this: the best moment to use CASH Miles is through promotional offers to redeem 75-85 miles for $10.

This increases the value of each CASH Mile (11.8 to 13.3 cents versus 10.5 cents usually).

Thus, the 7,500 Cash Miles you get for free with the technique described below are worth:

$789 (when redeeming 95 miles for $10)
882 $ (when redeeming 85 miles for $10)
$1,000 (when redeeming 75 miles for $10)

DREAM Rewards

DREAM miles are more difficult to use but can provide greater value!

You can redeem DREAM Miles on the AIR MILES travel portal for:

flights
car rentals
Hotels
all-inclusive

Two excellent sweet spots are:

short-haul flights: between 25 and 40 cents per bonus mile in specific situations
car rentals: you can get around 25 cents per mile in specific situations

Thus, the 7,500 Dream Miles you get for free with the technique described below can be worth up to:

$1,875 (when redeeming at a value of 25 cents / mile)
$3,000 (when redeeming at a value of 40 cents/mile)

On a more conservative basis, we would say that those 7,500 Dream miles, if correctly redeemed in Dream Rewards, have a value of $1,400 to $2,000.
