That means your reward miles from before 2012 will begin expiring after December 31, 2016 and every five years after you earn them. If you’ve been hoarding your miles, waiting for the perfect reward, well, it might be time to let ’em go and cash ’em in before they’re totally worthless.
Problem is that plenty of people are complaining that there are extremely limited reward options. What’s more, if your Air Miles are expiring in December, you’ll only be able to use them in the Dream Rewards category, which allows you to just redeem merchandise and travel packages. That’s because back in 2012, when Air Miles announced the Cash Rewards category, they made it so that you could only start collecting Air Miles Cash from that point forward, and only if you specified by changing your preferences on the Air Miles website…

One of my readers, Jeff W. asked me a few months ago whether the Scotiabank Gold American Express comes with American Express’ Front of the Line benefit. I knew that when the card launched it did not but double checked with my contacts at Scotia. They confirmed that it did not. Jeff however talked to their customer service reps who stated the card did. I went back to Scotia as was told this was not the case and the rep was mistaken. Definitely some confusion here! Well it looks like the customer service rep was in the know as the Scotiabank website as of this past Wednesday confirms this benefit for their cards.When looking over the Scotia website this benefit is available on all three versions of the Scotia American Express cards. This is great news for those of you who have these cards as Front of the Line and Amex Invites have some great access to concerts and events around the country.Are you excited as a Scotiabank Amex cardholder that this benefit has now been confirmed?Scotiabank®* Gold American Express® Card20,000 Scotia Rewards bonus points,with $500 in net purchases in first three months – worth $200 in travel…
