How do I Redeem my Airmiles?

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

  1. Determine the item (or trip) that you want and determine the number of airmiles
  2. 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.
