How Shop The Block works

How do you earn your bonus miles?

Most partners have special bonus offers for you to complete. Complete so many offers from different partners, and you’ll earn a big chunk of miles.

How many you earn depends on how many offers you complete:

3 offers – 300 bonus miles
5 offers – 800 bonus miles
7 offers – 1,200 bonus miles

And that’s on top of the bonus miles the partners are offering as well.

How to see your offers and use them

To see the offers for your area, head to the Shop The Block site, and select your region.

You’ll then be able to see the various offers available to you. There’s one of 3 things you need to do to get your bonus offers:

opt-in to the offer online,
print a coupon and scan the bar code at checkout, or
nothing besides showing your collector card when making your purchase.

So there you have it – go complete 7 offers and get your 1,200 plus bonus miles.

Air Miles credit card offers

If you have an Air Miles credit card, there’s an offer for you to take advantage of.

For all BMO Air Miles Mastercards, like the BMO AIR MILES^®^† Mastercard^®^* or BMO AIR MILES^®^† World Elite^®^* Mastercard^®^*, you can complete one offer and earn bonus miles by spending at participating partners (you can see who they are here).

Spend $350, and get 100 bonus miles. Spend $700, and you’ll earn 250 bonus miles.

American Express has an offer as well, but it’s limited to just the You’ll earn 300 bonus miles after spending $300 on qualifying food and drink purchases.

Your turn

It might not be for everyone this year with everything that’s going on, but it’s still nice to see Air Miles running their major promotions.

Haven't seen mine yet. BMO ( spend $350 for 100 airmiles) promised by Jan 31/2021-usually have to phone air miles before BMO pays out air miles promised!

Hey Laura, Our team hasn't had issues in the past getting their miles, including from BMO, but that doesn't appear to be the case for everyone. Hopefully you can get things resolved.

^◊ The creditcardGenius algorithm, based on our Rating Methodology, calculates an estimated dollar value for all rewards and bonuses by combining typical monthly spending with well-researched reward point value estimates. "Annual Rewards" is calculated by combining our default $2,000 in monthly spending ($24,000 annually) spread across 8 different spending categories (gas, groceries, travel, etc) with our point value estimates. "Welcome Bonus" is calculated by combining all one-time bonuses available to new cardholders within the first year with our point value estimates. To qualify for the full bonus you may need to make purchases, meet minimum spending requirements, or complete special actions. "Annual Interest Savings" is based on a credit card balance of $8,000 and a standard credit card interest rate of 19.99%. Annual Rewards, Welcome Bonus, and Annual Interest Savings values will change if the person adjusts their monthly spending away from the $2,000 monthly default or changes their reward preferences.
