Has anyone had any luck booking an air miles flight?! I get ZERO results- I know many miles expire soon but this is worse then aeroplan!

I booked flights for feb and June in Sept. but each search I did i got different results. Each day had different results. It is brutal program.

Had no problem booked in Oct to Mexico in Dec. Maybe try one way.. each way

aeroplan is way better than air miles lol

Booking one ways does use more miles.

They are crazy !!! I am ordering stuff I don't need to use them up!

But they are gonna disappear in Dec anyway! Co worker just booked for travel in Jan return to Texas on air miles.

That's why I want to book my flight before they expire, all these years of earning been point I want it to be worth my while!!! Except now I can't book a flight for the life of me. Nothing avail

Krista we used our travel airmails to order whistler lift tickets. I think it 650 for one. It's over 100 to ski there.

As long as you book/redeem before Dec you can use for travel anytime afterwards. Im in same boat. Switching to a west jet MasterCard was the b est decision I made lol. Air miles are so much harder to use now its useless! Bet that is their plan lol

thats what I've been trying to do for over 2 months now! I literally cannot find ONE flight to anywhere at any time and they don't show you availability calendars

Yes we are going to Halifax in January. Did it online. No problem at all.

Halifax in January is available. lol

You could also use it to pay for hotels and buy your air ticket in cash. It is too difficult to find flight itineraries on the airmiles website. So rather than let it go to waste, you can pay for hotels that way since you would probably need to pay for accommodation anyway. That's what I did anyway, airmiles it's a scam

Air miles is a waste of time. I've always had difficulties using them. Last time I tried to get a flight to Cranbrook on a regular ordinary Thursday and apparently none available. I call BS. I think they've completely limited their flights so people can't use their air miles

I just cashed mine in on merchandise and tore up the card

Can you convert dream miles to cash rewards?

Hummm not sure. It it did say on the website

Website says no...I tried

Last time I tried to use them I had to book almost a year in advance to get 4 tickets together. I was told that they only put a few airmails tickets out per flight....waste of time collecting them. I think EVERYBODY should call in an just cash them in and stop using them.

I booked my mom on my airmiles approximately 3 weeks before her flight to Ottawa (week of Remembrance Day). Interestingly, when I searched two weeks before actually booking, the availability was extremely limited. When we booked, there were more options. I don't know if that was the norm as it was the only time I used my miles.

I have used Airmiles for years and we have flown to many destinations both domestic and internationally (Australia 2.5 times even!) The key is to book early, keep trying if you don't see your flights as they add more in as time goes on, and try different routes. I think it is extra busy right now because of this new expiry rule.

I tried with no success, so I bought my tickets

I've never had any issues and I've booked 7 air miles flights this year but I book my flights way in advance to avoid that issue. Sometimes it's easier if you search only one way rather than round trip.

Where are you trying to fly? I've never had an issue given enough advance notice with domestic flights (only thing I find a good value with air miles for the most part), have booked dozens of flights over the years. International flights are definitely limited but why use air miles for those and be stuck with big taxes with airfare so cheap around the world lately?

I think it's hard to get anything right now due to the lack of customer service people even working right now. It's only suddenly that you can't even reach anyone there. I was looking for Vancouver to Palm Springs anytime till April

Weird, YVR to PSP isn't even coming up as an option in the search tool on their website.

i know!! And it did a few days ago-

I just read today that Air Miles is ditching the miles expiry policy.

I know! I saw that today!!! Mixed emotions now, LOL

Air mimes has just cancelled their Dec 30 expiry!

So glad!!!

No kidding. Fortunately I only spent 1200 on a hotel to use some.

i only spent several hours of time I can't get back trying to spend them!! Glad I don't have to think about it for a while now

Just announced today, Air Miles won't expire. It's real.

Good luck getting through if you need to phone for any reason such as a change . Impossible to contact ! Just forfeited a ticket plus the tax and no way to make a complaint . No e mail to any customer service department . Chopped up the card !

I am also boycotting anything to do with air miles,no more Shell, Safeway, etc. Ripoff!!!
