AIR MILES Receipts Rolls Out Across Canada

AIR MILES has rolled out AIR MILES Receipts across Canada, and collectors can now indirectly earn AIR MILES at a variety of grocery stores nationwide.

AIR MILES enthusiasts can earn bonus AIR MILES by scanning a receipt from an eligible grocery store into the AIR MILES app. If eligible products are listed on the receipt, the member will earn bonus AIR MILES on the purchase accordingly.
