Air Miles drops value of some points
– moneysense.ca
Now you’ll need more Air Miles to redeem vacation or cruise packages in the Dream category, according to CBC News.
The value of miles in that category has been lowered by around 20%, as discovered by some surprised and angry collectors.
Allison Peters told the CBC that the $11,000 worth of Air Miles she had collected for a trip to Mexico was worth $9,000 by the time she called the company to book the reward.
So, if you’d been eyeing a vacation in the rush to book before the Dec. 31 expiry date, that same reward is probably a lot more expensive now.
However, there is a silver living. If you’ve already talked to an Air Miles customer service rep before the pricing change, you can call in again and your previous value quote will be honoured, says Air Miles spokesperson Natasha Lasiuk.
Still, they’re only making this concession until Feb. 11, 2017 so act fast if you want to book a vacation or cruise with your miles.
Some say that loss of revenue is one reason Air Miles are being devalued…
