We have collected a substantial amount of Air Miles (mainly through Safeway) and, even after using some of them over the years, there is still a lot in our account. I was alerted to the fact that, due to new rules, these Air Miles will eventually expire (I think Dec 2016).
I did a search to try and come up with the best way to use the Air Miles before expiry and came across BMO investment certificates. A person can redeem Air Miles for a BMO certificate that can in turn be used for a TFSA and other investments. There isn't any charge from BMO's end so that appears to be a great option! I had no idea until now that this was even an option with Air Miles.
...or, you could fly to Alaska ;)
ReplyDeleteha ha...we did fly our family to Whitehorse about 7 years back for a Yukon adventure - best holiday of our lives!!! But it did become pricey because of the van rental etc. Our boys still say is was their best holiday though. We absolutely LOVE the North - I could honestly live in the Yukon (except in the winter :-) As one of our boys said, "The quiet is loud here."
