Promotion: Up to 550 AIR MILES with the Spring 2026 Shop the Block - AirMiles Generic 2400x1260 V5
To the point 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.

The AIR MILES Shop the Block Promotion

This promotion, much loved by AIR MILES collectors in recent years, is back for Spring 2026. It’s time to plan your strategy to rack up the miles!

Through this Shop the Block promotion, AIR MILES offers bonus miles by using offers from several different partners from April 2 to 15, 2026:

  • Earn at least 1 mile at 2 different partners to get 100 bonus miles
  • Earn at least 1 mile at 3 different partners to get 250 bonus miles
  • Earn at least 1 mile at 4 or more different partners to get 500 bonus miles

Additionally, holders of the BMO AIR MILES World Elite Mastercard or the BMO AIR MILES Mastercard will get an additional 50 bonus miles when they use their card for an eligible purchase. Note that a purchase with one of these cards now counts as a qualifying partner.

Therefore, you can accumulate up to 550 bonus miles as part of Shop the Block.

First, don’t forget to register for the Shop the Block offer, as it’s required to earn your valuable miles. Click the Activate Offer button.

Here are the partners:

Note that electronic vouchers no longer count as an eligible action.

As a reminder, here’s what counts as a partner for this promotion:

  • 1 or more AIR MILES Receipts = 1 partner
  • 1 mile redemption = 1 partner
  • 2 purchases via Airmilesshops.ca at 2 different stores = 2 partners
  • 3 purchases from 3 different partners with Card Linked offers = 3 partners

Note that a mile can be earned as a base mile or a bonus mile. Once these miles are converted to Blue Rewards during the transition in June 2026, you will also be able to combine them with points accumulated via BMO Blue Rewards credit cards, which succeed the BMO AIR MILES credit cards.

Transition from AIR MILES to Blue Rewards

AIR MILES will become Blue Rewards in the summer of 2026. This Spring 2026 Shop the Block is likely one of the last under the AIR MILES brand.
