Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 33 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people faced extremely long wait times, often over an hour, when trying to contact support, finding customer service unhelpful and difficult to reach. The website also proved challenging, as users struggled to log in, reset credentials, and navigate slow-loading pages. Beyond service issues, people encountered problems with the rewards program itself. Many reported points not being consistently applied or taking a long time to appear, with some even losing points due to expiration or unauthorized access. Account security was also a concern, as several users experienced flagged or locked accounts, hindering access to their benefits.

Within the past 5 years, the value of Dream Miles has plummeted. Flights I used to book cost between 2,000-4,000 air miles and are now listed in the 9,000-11,000 range. I transferred my miles into... See more

Complete garbage

Complete garbage! Can’t speak with anyone on the phone, no real chat online, you get a “bot” that doesn’t answer anything. Removed Redtag travel company from their so called list of rewards. No more. Moving on!

Couldn't say more than what's already been said about this company

Couldn't say more than what's already been said here. What a terrible experience collecting and using these miles has been. I recently wanted an air fryer but had just had surgery so wasn't home to receive it. I called to ask if I could postpone the delivery date and waited and waited and waited so long that I asked for a callback. That callback never came. The air fryer was on special seemingly till October 31st. It was going to be 3300 dream miles. This was about ten days ago. I finally got home and was able to order it. I paid 4100 dream miles and when I called to try to address the fact that I had never received the promised callback from them all she would credit me was 250 miles. I'm sure I'll never use those miles or do business with this company again.

It's so hard to get anything on this site

It's so hard to find a place to go on here. You have to pick an airport in a country that might have 10 airports. So you go country by coutry. Prepare to send 30 - 50 hours. I think they try to frustrate you so you give up and don't use your points!
At least the old ones you could pick a region or a country.
We have also noticed that we recieve far less points. Our spending has gone up 30-35% and we are getting about the same amount og point.
Shame BMO, time to change banks!

Airmiles Onyx priorty service is a joke...........

How does this company stay in business. If owned by BMO, you should be ashamed. As many others have noted, their phone support system is ridiculous and has been for a long time. No calls back when promised, Airlines can't/won't help so you end up forfeiting points and making your own flight arrangements. I can't understand how this is allowed to continue.

Don't think transactions are being posted to my account. Tried signing into my account but unable to do so despite trying both email and account number. Waited on the phone for over 1.5 hours with no answer. Tried phoning again and requested call back but never received one. I give up on Air Miles!

Very Very Very bad experience with…

Very Very Very bad experience with their phone lines, customer service, online platform, and everything. It’s a terrible platform that everybody avoids phone calls. Airmiles.ca simply does not respect its customers. I tried calling and they always say they are too busy and call you back, but never call back. I tried online, and they say somebody would call me and they never did. I left a request for a callback twice after waiting more than an hour on the phone and still, nobody returned my calls. It is one of the worst company doing business in Canada. They should not be in the business. The government should cancel Airmiles.ca's license.

Horrible experience

Horrible experience with their phone lines, customer service, online platform, and basically everything. It’s a terrible platform that everybody needs to avoid at all cost. Aeroplane is way better. Airmiles.ca simply do not respect their customers. I tried calling and they always say they cannot take my call. I tried online, and they say somebody will call you and they never did. I left a request for a callback twice after waiting more than an hour on the phone and still, nobody returned my calls.

Completely inconsistent info/functionality

Their chatbot, front line staff and FAQs are useless. The documentation clearly says that you can pick a separate address for a merchandise rewards. Yet when you try to send to Quebec it fails because of “security failure”. The chatbot doesn't provide any clarity and waiting on the line first led to one call center member apologizing and say wait a few days and try again. The next one after a week just said “sorry that function doesn't exist, we have to ship to your account address” so now we have to pay on our own to ship a saucepan cross country. Their messages across all platforms should be consistent, not just a frustrating mess

Literally the most expensive and terrible points system I have ever dealt with. Airline canceled my flight and air miles can’t do anything to refund. The customer agent literally hung up on us when we asked a question. Don’t waist your time with these people.

Trying to contact air miles is…

Trying to contact air miles is excruciating. They clearly do not have enough staff to take all the complaints. They keep you waiting 15-20 minutes on the line and then hang up on you. I've just learned that Metro is dropping them. Who else is going to drop them? Can we really count on this company? It's just another example of a poorly run Canadian enterprise?

I would like to use my air miles for… travel

I would like to use my air miles for some travel perks but by 90% Airmiles Travel charges 50% more for the same package compared to all other travel companies. Such as Air Canada, Air Transit, Red Tag etc. It seems like they want your business then when it comes time to cash in, they give you the business! Brutal!

Not worth your time

Not worth your time, they don't pay most of the offers they advertise and when you contact them they do nothing but make excuses, they had a offer for 500 airmiles for making a purchase with Samsung posted on the Samsung page and airmiles, I tired to contact them after a month so I could remember all the info I needed they then tell me I got to wait 3 months before I can submit a missing miles report lol I couldn't find the ad and now they say sorry nothing we can do, we'll there is something I can do, I won't be using this anymore, used it again today and got ripped 50 points that's it for me keep them.

Beware: Will not take back defective merchandise.

I redeemed my points for an Apple product which came to me nonfunctional. As in, dead and it couldn't be recharged. Obviously, I wanted to return a defective product and get my points back. I filled in a merchandise return form in March, no response in two months; so I resent, only to be rejected because the company determined it should be Apple's problem even though AppleCare did not come with this product. Apple was also useless (no return or replacement, bring it to an Apple store and pay to have it fixed since the product isn't under AppleCare). Did I mention the serial number on the product didn't match any on Apple's files?
So after being with Air Miles for years; I am cancelling my account with them (which you can't do online, and you have to call. No convenient "deactivate my account" button online). Horrible and clunky customer service, and no way to return defective merchandise.

I have been saving air Miles for years

I have been saving air Miles for years. Had enough to cover 10 days in Hawaii in Dec. Preferred hotel was 37,000 points when I looked 6 weeks ago. Tuesday it was 51,000 points. When I went to book THE NEXT DAY it had moved to 56,000 points. Useless program

Just an overall pathetic program

Just an overall pathetic program and you are lucky if you live long enough to get any trip covered before you perish. Takes forever to accrue any points and other points programs such as Aeroplan or even Scene give far better incentives ... A/Ms just seems obsolete, and regimented to have to shop where they say or buy certain items someone else wants to push on you ... just lame

Trying to use their website just to reset a password - site doesn't even send a reset repones to my email used for the account - and try to get someone on the phone ... good luck .. and for what .. its bee a f* half hour, even with multitasking I feel like I have wasted time off my life haha
