Why Now Is The Time to Switch From AIR MILES Dream To Cash

We’re in an unprecedented time right now with COVID-19. And one of the major disruptions is to travel, where our border is semi-closed, and airlines are cancelling mass amounts of flights.

If you’re a large AIR MILES collector, you may want to switch to collecting cash miles for the time being, and use them to take a bite out of day to day expenses like gas and groceries.

2 ways to change your AIR MILES settings

So, how do you change your earn settings from Dream to Cash?

There are 2 ways to do it – using a standard web browser or using the AIR MILES app for iOS or Android phones.
