I sense another devaluation coming up. From here: https://www.airmiles.ca/arrow/CashRewardsFAQBrowse

it says:

Yes. There are still many gift cards you can redeem for under the Dream Rewards tab on airmiles.ca. Use the reward miles in your Dream balance to redeem for these rewards Click here to see them.

Gift Cards and Certificates will be phased out over time and replaced by this new program feature.

Right now a metro gift card nets out a value of $0.1142 a mile. That will be replaced by the new program which has a value of $0.105/mile. I'd be redeeming now if you have enough miles and your intention was to redeem for gift cards.

Thanks for the heads up, travelgeek!

They have devalued the gift cards to the same level as the AM cash program..... 190AM for $20 off at metro. Once again, they did it without prior notice.

I'm glad my aunt told me about her AM account balance and we redeemed all of the miles last month.

Good riddance Air Miles.

Metro, Shell, and Pharma Plus GC's have been phased out. They are now only available with the cash program.

the big p*** off once again is that they keep doing this without any advance warning/notice

more so this time if you have any miles left in your 'dream' balance.

Enough. I just redeemed everything right down to zero, cut up the card and mailed it back to them. Yes, devaluations are a fact of any rewards program, but the majority of them respect their customers enough to give advance notice of any major changes affecting their program.
