Air Miles Blue Rewards transition has a date and most people have not fully processed it yet. May 31st is the last day the program runs as Air Miles. June 1st it becomes Blue Rewards. Customer service shuts down for the transition. June 2nd you can log back in and your points will still be there, multiplied by roughly 16 because that is how the conversion works.

What does it mean that one Air Mile becomes approximately 16 Blue Points? It means the earn rates are multiplied, the redemption rates are multiplied, and the value stays the same. What does change is that you can now redeem toward 100 percent of your airfare including taxes and fees, something the old program did not allow. The travel agency is gone and Expedia has taken its place, which Patrick Sojka says has made the travel side significantly more flexible.

The ONIX personal shopper program, the one where someone in Edmonton redeemed his points for a car, is being sunsetted by end of 2027. There is a credit card waitlist running right now with 1 million Blue Points on offer for the winner. The program is changing. The points you have are not going anywhere.
