The thing we love most about our friends and family members are their wonderfully eclectic personalities (minus a few traits at times). The problem we face with these personalities is that they make it hard for us to choose holiday gifts. As always, we’ve got your back. In fact, we did one better. We brought you a gift guide and a way to benefit big time from all this shopping. Enter: airmilesshops.ca!
No one really needs an intro to Air Miles; we’ve all been using the rewards card forever. But just in case, you are that one-off case who does need an intro, Air Miles is a reward program where you accumulate points for purchases at partnering merchants (which is just about every popular brand in the market). You can then use these points or miles as they call it, to buy flight tickets with select airlines.
Now, here’s the twist− starting November 19 and leading up to December 5, Air Miles is offering three consecutive reward deals- Pre-Black Friday, Black Friday and Cyber Week- on online shopping. While the Pre-Black Friday (Nov 19 – 24) and Cyber Week (Nov 30 – Dec 5) offers are letting us earn 15x of the usual miles, the Black Friday offer (Nov 25 – 30) lets us earn 20x miles (WHAT!!).
All you have to do is login at airmilesshops.ca with your AIR MILES Collector Number, select the online store you want to shop at, click ‘Shop’ and complete your transaction at the store you’ve selected.
Given that their inventory of stores is humungous with every article under the sun, from travel items to electronics & gaming to fashion & apparel to home & kitchen essentials, holiday shopping just became a lot less daunting for us. Plus, with the 15 and 20 times the reward points, our holidays are sure to be holly and jolly.
Below is a carefully curated list of 10 of the best gifts you can grab from partnering stores at Air Miles, that’ll make your loved ones very happy and also lay the groundwork for your long-impending travelogue.
