How to Redeem your Air Miles Reward Points

Step by Step Guide

  • If you DO NOT have an online Air Miles account and don’t know your Air Miles collector number, call American Express or BMO (your credit card provider) give them your credit card number and they will give you your 11-digit Air Miles collector number.
  • Once you have your Air Miles collector number you can create an account at airmiles.ca and can login to redeem your miles.
  • If you DO have an online Air Miles account, login at airmiles.ca.
  • To redeem miles for travel go to dream rewards and search for flights under the travel section.
  • To book a flight, select your departing airport, arrival airport and travel dates.
  • Available flights are displayed with the amount of miles required to book. The mileage requirements for flights within North America include fuel surcharges but don’t include other taxes and fees that have to be paid in addition to the required miles.
  • Mileage requirements for flights outside of North America do not include fuel surcharges. Taxes and fees for these flights can be over $500.
  • To redeem miles for a flight you need to have at least 85% of the required miles: the remaining miles can be purchased for 30 cents/mile + tax.
