How to Redeem Faster

1. You can combine Rewards & Cash to get items sooner. See Cash + Miles Offers (You don't get much of a deal though.)You may buy  a limited number of the total reward miles required for any Reward for 30 cents a mile.
   
2. You can also convert points from other rewards programs to Air Miles. For example , HBC Rewards.
   
3. Make a wish list on the site & get a buddy with lots of points to make your wishes come true.
   
4. Persuade your boss to register for AirMiles, become an invaluable Air Miles expert and get transfer bonuses from work.
   
5. Complete Sponsor offers that cost you nothing but time.

The lowest reward level I found was 30 Miles for a BlockBuster rental, so you might have to spend $300 before you can cash in. Unless you use a credit card to pay with your purchases (American express or Bank of Montreal) or score some bonus rewards in a contest.
Protecting Your Rewards From Others: Share your bed, swap your spit, but protect your PIN ! Anyone who knows your Collector Account number and PIN will have full access to your Collector Account, and may change the address associated with your Account and redeem accumulated reward miles Notify them  immediately if your Card is lost or stolen. In case of divorce or relationship breakdown, death, emigration from Canada, duplication error, or with our authorization, you may with their  prior consent and upon proper proof (copy of death certificate etc.), merge your Account with the Account of a family member or member of your household. (Do this within 24 months or the system automatically wipes out your points.)
From Them-Cash in your Points if you are in financial difficulties!! You may have paid cold, hard cash to earn  your rewards, but they can disappear for the following reasons: If no reward miles are recorded in your Account for 24 months, you become bankrupt, commit fraud, misrepresent any information, violate any Terms and Conditions, abuse your Program privileges or act in any other way to the detriment of them , their Sponsors or Suppliers or the Program.
