It now takes 190 Air Miles instead of 150 to get a 20$ gift card.
One Air Mile is now worth roughly 10 cents and with each dollar spent, you earn half a cent worth of rewards assuming you need to spend 20$ to get one Air Mile at IGA.
It is the equivalent of a 0.5% cash back with very limited options for redemption.
I never guide my purchases according to Air Miles earned, and everyone in our family has a card for the same account. If not, it would take forever to accumulate enough to redeem if you are a regular guy. Maybe it is different for those with golden accounts and a BMO Air Miles credit card, but I am too lazy to crunch the numbers.
