AIR MILES Bonus Boom is now live - earn bonus miles with participating partners + 95 bonus miles when you collect three different Bonus Boom offers The latest AIR MILES Bonus Boom event kicked off today with a whole bunch of bonus miles offers for shopping or completing actions with various AIR MILES partners. Most of the bonuses are available between today and April 14 and once again if you use three different Bonus Boom offers you’ll get 95 bonus AIR MILES. New this time however is the ability to get the 95 bonus miles all from one retailer so long as they have multiple offers. For example Sobeys has three different offers available so if you meet the criteria for those three offers you’ll get the 95 bonus miles. With Bonus Boom you can earn well over 1,000 bonus miles with all the offers but in reality most serious collectors will be earning upward of several hundred miles. It really depends on what shopping you need to get done – for example you can earn two of three partners simply by redeeming 95 cash miles at Safeway and then doing the same at Sobeys (you need to opt-in for those particular bonus offers) and then you have your usual type of bonus offers from Amex, BMO, AIR MILES Shops, Shell, Staples, Global Pet Foods and more…

Now's the time to grab an Air Canada Aeroplan credit card - get up to 50,000 points at no cost other than card spending! Earlier on the Rewards Canada blog we detailed how you can now convert the Buddy Pass portion of the welcome offer on half a dozen Aeroplan co-brand credits to 30,000 Aeroplan points. This is a huge deal! To be able to get an extra 30,000 points out of a welcome bonus is unprecedented. Yes – the buddy pass can have huge value in its own right but by converting it to points you do take out some uncertainty over shorter term travel (think less than 2 years). Plus the buddy pass is meant for North America travel including Hawaii and only in economy class. By taking the points you can use them to build up your balance for travel to anywhere in the world that you can redeem Aeroplan points for (and that’s a lot of places) in any fare class you like including First Class. Image via Dat N.Now I do say it is time to grab an Aeroplan card and I stand by that. Come May when the next round of offers come out on most of these cards who knows what the bonus will be but there may not be a Buddy Pass, there may not be a first year annual free offer and more than likely the bonus points won’t be near the points you can get right now with the buddy pass…
