How do I Redeem my Airmiles?
BE SURE TO CHECK THE DATE OF THE COUPON/POST - Old posts are NOT removed as they must remain in-order for you to find this site and the most recent deals.So you've spent a little time collecting airmiles, finding the best deals, etc... Now how do you redeem the air miles? I get this question a lot. Here's how you go about spending your airmiles!
The first step is to go onto the airmiles.ca website and do some research. This has two main steps
- Determine the item (or trip) that you want and determine the number of airmiles
- Determine the price if you were to purchase it elsewhere ( Expedia.ca
, Westjet, Air Canada, Travelocity.ca
, etc...)
Now determine if using your airmiles is worth it. How do you do this? Good question. It's different for every person, however, I usually calculate based on a dollar value. If the airmiles that I'm spending are around $7.00 I'll purchase. Why $7? Because this is the lower value of airmiles gift cards.
That's the hard part. To actually book your airmiles trip or item you need to call airmiles at 1800airmiles. Warning, that it often takes a long time to get through so be ready to wait for a while.
Don't forget that you can collect airmiles WAY FASTER by simply following this website and having an airmiles credit card. Those two tips will have you not only redeeming faster but also flying further!

How do I know how many airmiles I have? I want to purchase a BBBQ, & would like to know how to go about it by using my airmiles. I would greatly appreciate some information please.

Hi,
So we’ve booked a trip to Hawaii- can we apply our airmiles to the trip? If so, how?
Thanks

If I am booking a trip to Taiwan in November 2009 can I use my air miles towards the flight? Thankyou in advance Szu
I’ve been fiddling around on your web for an hour trying to redeem my miles for shell gas coupons — keep going on to airmiles.ca then redeem and getting a bunch of horse poop.
Whats going on?
I tried to go on the site and get the apple iphone 16 gig and it came up out of stock. Does this mean it will be on a waiting list for when this item is available? Please help me with this issue so I can just recieve it as soon as possible.
Have looked through the entire catalogue and cannot find a phone number for air miles. The site to redeem air mils is totally useless. I guess airmiles is all about spending to get air miles. They certainly don’t want to be bothered with easy redemtion proccedures.
What is their phone number?
Ihave had my card XXXXXX since 08/92 I have never
rec. a statement from you . Why?
Adress is XXXXX. Wpg, M B. XXXX

Evertried phoning about your Air miles? What a joke . Impossible to get anyone to answer . I hung on for 30 mins. then gave up.
I can hear the frustration of all those above. I echo their sentimnets. Your websites are designed to frustrate and confuse. Two hours and I still haven’t found out HOW to redeem my miles. Everyone knows how to collect airmiles but redeeeming them is a huge secret. No wonder the Toronto Star has wriiten articles to expose this! Shame on you for your incompetence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I what to know how to redeem my air miles. Could you send me a catalogue with different machandise.
Regards
Ihave had my airmiles card since August 2006 the # is XXXXXX What is my balance now ? I have used any of them to date. Can they be used for Westjet flight to western Canada> Thank you Gayle Seymour
I can not figure out which site to go to with no trouble to redeem my air miles for two items that are in the latest book. which are item #1330170277 and # 1330180504 . How do I order these on line. I am new at this and find it very difficult, as I am 71 yrs. of age.Thank you,
Anita Berlin
I tried to order on the phone this morning only to be told that they no longer do this that you must go on line. Waited over half an hour,
I am having trouble finding out how many air miles I have accumulated since 2000. Always comes up invalid # . Perhaps I am not doing it right. so would appreciate some help
If you think Air Miles program is bad, try Aeroplan. After saving points for years and paying CIBC hundreds of $’s in annual fees, Aeroplan just decided one day to confiscate all my airmiles points. *Admin edited the rest of the comment for content*
I was booking a flight and tried to find out how can i redeem my points. I went to Airmiles online, but did not find any information. So i booked my flight at Expedia.ca without airmiles. I can’t understand how it works. Before payment they should ask if we want to spend airmiles points. Am i right?
I have also been trying to redeem my airmiles. got as far as filling out my e-mail address, password and username, then I was supposed to type numbers and letters EXACTLY as shown, did this about 10 times and gave up. I’m sure you must do this to confuse and frustrate us illiterate computer users
I did manage to find out how many miles I had, yeah!
I have had my airmails card since 2002,can’t seem to find out how many points i have-# is 8400-363-4260

What do you mean by “If the airmiles that I’m spending are around $7.00 I’ll purchase” – ?
