Air Miles Rewards Program Car rental booking through air miles

I have been using both the app and the website for days now trying to book an Avis intermediate car rental at Halifax Stanfield International airport for pickup at 9:30 AM June 12, 2024, returning at 4 PM on June 19, 2024, for a total of 5119 dream miles, which I do have, and I get constantly told that there are technical issues, but when I try to call to talk to a representative I get put on hold until my phone dies. I simply cannot get through to Airmiles any way at all. This is totally infuriating and unacceptable.

Desired outcome: I would like a response by a representative so I can complete this booking.

Air Miles Rewards Program airmiles rewards

I am so disappointed in the air miles rewards level of accessibility as well as the options for 'cash back' partners. I have tried to call air miles during their regular office hours at least 10 times, and was either disconnected, or recieved no call back.

Further, the in store shell partner is impossible to use without a physical card. I ordered a card nearly 1 month ago, and yet to receive it. I have been to 5 shell stores, all either not having any idea what airmiles rewards are, or not being able to process it at the till.

All in all, very disapointed.

Desired outcome: I would like an option to completely cash out my rewards as I do not want to be apart of this service anymore. Please provide any sort of cash out rewards offer.

Air Miles Rewards Program Customer Service

Just called the [protected] about close to 100 dollars of missing miles and was told the math was right. There was no transaction record of the miles being used and me the only card holder did not make a transaction yesterday evening when miles went missing. So after trying to resolve the problem with customer service I was treated rudely and told that the miles were up to date and correct witch is far from the truth. You really should hire intelligent people to interact with the public cause this woman I spoke with around 8:30 am was very ignorant and rude and far from helpful. As far as I'm concerned she should be fired.

Desired outcome: I would like my points I earned that was removed from my card with no transaction history firstly. Secondly I would like your employee that spoke to me disrespectfully be treated the same way. Was of no help and raised her voice with me.

Air Miles Rewards Program Overcharged for a flight from October 2021

Tried calling since after October 2021, can never get through to speak to an Air Miles agent to resolve. Initially booked a trip online with my airlines for October 21, return Oct 28 2021, called Air miles to clarify trip and they offered to cancel both flights booked as better pricing or options when she did this. I noticed upon return of my trip in Oct 2021, I was still charged an extra flight for the return flight Tampa to Ottawa. I called MC, they would not file a dispute ZM9J63W

Desired outcome: Refund on airline reservation not used

Air Miles Rewards Program Missing cash and dream rewards, profile wiped out?

I've been a collector since 04/92.

Yesterday, sep.08/2022 I got my standard email that comes about once a month, sometimes more... And today, sep.09/2022 — I went to log into my my account to get an e-voucher and my name, information and all my points are gone... No transaction history — everything gone. What happened? Has the system been hacked?

Desired outcome: Restore my profile information and all my points in both the Cash and Rewards buckets.

Air Miles Rewards Program Playstation 5 bundle set

On June 28th I logged onto my airmiles account and they had just released a PSS (Playstation bundle) my order was processed and on it's way. I since received 3 emails stating that there was a potential fraud alert on my account. I then placed my phones calls and was unable to get through. Yesterday I received another email stating the same thing and decided to try their chat function after not being able to get through yet again and the agent chatting with me told me that he was unable to help and I should call back in the morning. I did this and after 2 attempts I decided to use the call back feature. Shortly after I hung up the phone I received an email stating I cancelled my order? I did not cancel my order! So I tried to re-order the bundle and attempted to do so 16 times and I was not permitted to place the order. I held on the phone for 1:56:55 to speak to someone and was not able to get through. I received 4 call backs from an automated system saying that there are no agents available to speak right now and I was automatically scheduled for a July 20th call back. I just looked online right now and the bundle is no longer available. Attached is proof of my order and a screen shot of my time on hold. I have spent hours upon hours trying to get ahold of Airmiles and I cannot reach anyone. I would like them to fulfill my original order as this would lead to false advertising. If that is the case I would like to take legal action on the matter if this is not resolved.

Desired outcome: I would like you to fulfill my original order as promised on June 28th I would like a phone call [protected]

Regards

Normand paquette

Desired outcome: Get 50 miles not 2?

Air Miles Rewards Program Can't reach support ambassador

I want to merge my husband's and my accounts. According to the web site, this can only be done through a live representative.

I've tried several times to call Air Miles and have even given them a call back number. Eventually, I get an automated call saying they can't return my call that day but would I like to schedule later in the week. When I say yes, they give me the option of selecting a time. I put that in and am told it is not available and would I like them to schedule something. I say yes and they come back with "Unknown/Unknown".

I am so frustrated.

Desired outcome: I would like someone to call me to help merge our accounts.

Air Miles Rewards Program Hotel booking

I booked the Double Tree by Hilton Hotel in Regina through Air Miles. I received a Reservation Receipt from Air Miles. Air miles confirmation # am-[protected]. When I went to book in the Double Tree could not find my reservation and after standing at the front desk for an hour, they said that they would have to rebook me and provide my MasterCard # to them in the event that they had to bill me. They were not able to provide me with the double queen room I had been billed for at a rate of $143 + taxes and provided a lesser room 1 queen bed at $130 + taxes per night. I contacted Kelly at Air Miles on March 11, 2022 and was provided with an incident number PM 28439. She advised that if the hotel charged me that air miles would reimburse me in full and because I had booked with them, I would still receive my air miles points. If the hotel did not charge me that I would receive a refund from Air Miles since I received a lesser room. March 28, 2022, I received an email from Points Air Miles as follows -

PointsAirmiles

Mar 28, 2022, 2:00 AM

to me, PointsAirmiles

Good day,

Thank you for your patience while we worked on your case.

We understand this issue was escalated to our team, due to double charges.

As a result of our investigation, we found out that the hotel did not charge the Hotel supplier booking, only a 200 USD incidental deposit was required which has been already released.

Generally, it will be refunded to your credit card account within 5-7 business days after the transaction is completed, however it may appear on your next statement due to your credit card billing cycle.

Please kindly contact the hotel directly if you cannot confirm a refund.

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

Sincerely,

Airmiles Hotels and Cars Customer Service

I replied the same day as follows:

Thank you for your email.

Let me see if I understand it.

(1) The Double Tree is to reimburse me? Would it not be air miles that reimburse me as the hotel gave me a lesser room for a better rate. Air miles has charged me on my Mastercard. Double Tree has not charged me.

(2) Please confirm what my refund will be. I calculate it to be $143-$130 = $13 x 4 x tax of 1.11 = $57.72.

I shall wait to hear back from you.

Thank you.

Kind regards:

Karen Cox

[protected]

On April 4, 2022, I called Air Miles again and talked to Evana. She said that someone from customer service would contact me in 3-5 business days. It is well past this.

Double Tree has never invoiced me and I have again checked my MasterCard statement.

Please finalize this by providing the refund as stated above in the amount of $57.72 to my MasterCard.

Thank you.

Please note that my phone number has changed. My cell number is [protected] if you should need to speak to me. My email address is karen. g.[protected]@gmail.com.

Kind regards:

Karen Cox

Desired outcome: A refund for my hotel room in the amount of $57.72 tax in.

Air Miles Rewards Program Flight Credit

Bronwyn James Air Miles [protected]

Flight credit due to Covid flight cancellation K4N878G

Air Canada Airline information Code NDCCMO

Advised 24 month credit to travel from March 20th, 2020.

Air Canada did not resume flights to Australia until January 2022?

I flew to Australia November 5th, 2020 as my father was dying, I paid for a flight with another airline in order to get to Australia.

I contacted Air Miles to use my flight credit for my return trip. I was advised I had a return trip credit and I had to use the credited flights by April 19th, 2022. As I was already in Australia I asked if I could use the combined credit for an upgrade for the one-way return only flight and was told NO I could only fly economy as that was the original booking and that I will lose the credit for the other leg of the journey.

If Air Canada only resumed flights to Australia in January how are your clients expected to book a return trip by April 19th? I think his is unfair. Why can I not use the flight credit to upgrade my flight rather than lose points for a one-way flight? Why can I not at least be refunded the points for the unused portion of my original booking or have the flight credit extended for a more practical period of time?

I am now booked on Air Canada April 13th one-way Economy Sydney to Vancouver flight AC34 via Air Miles booking. Reservation Code SJWJTY Airline reservation 34ZBA7.

Thank you,

Bronwyn

Desired outcome: Use of the full flight credit for either an upgrade or future flight credit or be refund the equivalent points back to my airmiles account.

Air Miles Comments

11 May 2022 Agreed. Absolutely horrendous service. They have you where they want you and they do not care. Waited 4 hours today. First 2-hour call got cut off. Second 1 1/2-hour call answered but said they needed to transfer to another department. STILL on hold for 45 minutes or more. I asked if there was a complaint process. Rep told me to call same number. I told her that was funny. I did make it clear I was not mad at her but the overall organisation. Worst company I have had to deal with. But as mentioned, they have you over a barrel and they do not care.

Air Miles Rewards Program Flights rebooking

During the very beginning of Covid 19 I booked 2 return flights from YQR Regina to Halifax for 1 one week vacation. I used Airmiles card 8000264xxxx. Because of Covid 19 became extreme the flights were cancelled. I was given instruction to fallow up at a later date. I spoke to a very helpful person by the name of Ann. I was then instructed that I must rebook flights before Dec 19 2021 so I do not loose my Airmiles as well as the taxes and Fees paid by my CC. Now for several weeks I have been trying to get through to Airmiles. After several hours on hold over various days I have given up. As far as AirMiles and WestJet go I will no longer remain a loyal customer if and when this Covid situation is resolved. With new air carriers being brought on line I feel the as a Canadian and loyal WestJet customer I have other choices. I realize that a small savings account drained of it travel miles is nothing to big corporations but to my wife and I, after years of saving airmiles, we feel robbed. Now if someone could please rectify this, you will still have a customer but I seriously doubt any action to take place.
Good Bye both of you!

Air Miles Rewards Program your call center front line person

I have made my point about e-vouchers and all the difficutlies I had with the lack of knowledge that these vendors had with understanding what they were.
This has happened several times already and I am sick and tired of losing time each and every-time. Losing 20 minutes each time while the personnel runs around with a piece of worthless paper when they insisted that I have to pay with real money, not a sheet of paper. The call center person was less than helpful, putting me on hold each time because she herself did not know what to tell me she refused to let me speak to a supervisor. Do I need this stupidity, certainly not. I was promised 10 miles, are they joking. She was the most unhelpful person, she should be fired for not knowing her job. She is a failure. Imagine 10 air miles WOW!

the above mentioned companies have the most useless personnel that I have ever experienced.. The most miserable people, belligerent, thoughtless, impolite, arrogant, pompous, cynical, narrow-minded, tactless and confrontational subject. Therefore our group of 58 families are boycotting all of the above mentioned products and stores, never to purchase again!

Air Miles Rewards Program air miles collection of points error-one of cards isn't registered when both cards were supposed to be registered for point collection

My name is Kafa K Khattab and I have been an Air Miles member and collector since February 2008 and my card number is [protected] and I have another card with card number [protected]. I have been using both cards on and off at different retailers and shopping centers especially at Metro.
I thought that I would have around 10000 Air Miles points because I often use these cards to swipe for points at checkout. I have never redeemed anything because of my husband and I were never able to travel due to medical issues which restricted us from traveling.
Unfortunately, when I went to redeem some of my Air Miles points at Metro because I purchased a lot of meat because they had it on sale, the cashier was very helpful and advised that the points were not only NOT being registered but that I couldn't redeem any points. She advised to speak with a manager at Air Miles points program because I am a loyal shopper and that all these times that cashiers would swipe my points, they weren't being registered which is what has happened at many other retail and shopping centers.
I spoke to a customer service representative at Air Miles as soon as I got home. I spoke to Gupreet and he was very unprofessional. He was belittling me and trying to tell me that I was lying. I continued to ask to speak to a manager and he would continue to put me on hold to check my account. He wasn't sympathetic to my medical stance and was not helpful to put back my missing air miles points on my cards. He continued to say that one of the cards was registered but the one I was using ending in 1864 wasn't registered when I explained to him that they both should of been registered because when I initially applied for these two cards at different times, they were both supposed to be registered. He made me feel horrible and continued to ask for my receipts and I told him where do I get receipts form all these places for the past 10 years. He was mocking me and this was very hurtful. I advised him that this treatment and misleading information was unacceptable. The representatives did not register my card ending in 1864 and I have been using both cards on and off especially card ending 1864. I need a refund for my Air Miles Points as soon as possible. I continued to ask for a manager and Gupreet told me aggressively that there were no managers now and he would have one call me back in 24 to 48 hours and it have been 9 days now. His actions were unacceptable and very belittling. I told him that I was going to escalate this matter to the Ombudsmen of Ontario, and he was lacking any regard to my feelings and emotions.
I am asking for full resolution and refund of my points as soon as possible.
This is unacceptable and Mr. Gupreet just made matters worse and I believe that he was taking things personal and taking our his frustrations on me that day.
Please respond as soon as possible.

Air Miles Rewards Program my trip dec. 14/2019 toronto - strasbourg france

In April/May this year I booked my 'flight' from Toronto to Strasbourg France for myself & my husband. (Then the flight I was given a FLIGHT to Paris CDG BUT A RAIL to Strasbourg. I thought it VERY odd, but was told THAT WAS MY ONLY OPTION. NO FLIGHTS. Today I received a call from Patricia saying there are issues & she is checking things out. WHAT a mess. (1) I wanted a FLIGHT to Strasbourg, NOT rail, but was TOLD there was NO option. (2) I was given NO INFORMATION about the RAIL PORTION, thinking I would be told closer to the date. NOW - SEVEN MONTHS LATER I find out it is a MESS & THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM! THIS is our big vacation. I am paying a lot of air miles and AIR MILES has made a MESS of this. I NEED ALL THE CORRECT INFORMATION ASAP. I NEED THIS ADVANCED TO A SENIOR PERSON IMMEDIATELY.

Air Miles Rewards Program air miles customer service complaint

I am very disgusted and upset with your reward program and your customer service.
I place an order with my reward miles March 12, 2019 using 1760 of my earned airmiles. I received confirmation #[protected] along with the letter stating it would be approx. 1 month to receive my order.
Two weeks ago I contacted airmiles and spoke with Jemina who informed me that you had no emails/confirmation of any order, she did note the miles had been withdrawn from my account and eventually did find confirmation but nothing about the item being shipped.She informed me she would " have to look into it and this would take approx. 4 days.
I did get a phone message from Jemina saying to phone her ( approx. 4 days after our initial conversation ) I phoned the call was answered by Lisa I asked to speak to Jemina, Lisa told me she was unable to transfer me.
Thus I had to start my whole story again and was told there was no information of an order. I then emailed Lisa my confirmation information I was sent by you and once again told ...she would look into it and follow up with me ASAP. I informed Lisa I would like a follow up ASAP and either have my item expidated to me or my airmile points refunded to my account. Lisa informed me it would be 3-4 days for a follow up.
As of today I had received no follow up and phoned again. Unfortenatly I did not get the name of the person I spoke with today. I did ask to speak to Lisa or Jeimina again and was told it was not possible to transfer me to these people.
I explained the situation again, and the person said my airmiles had been refunded to my account, when I asked why I was not informed she really did not have an answer for me. I then asked X 5 if there was a manager of supervisor that I could speak with regarding this whole situation.
This person at first refused this request and after repeating myself X 5 placed me on hold, came back a few minutes later said I was getting all you Information ready and transfering to a supervisor now...and I sat on hold for the next 20 minutes and finally hung up.
This person also had informed me that the miles were probably refunded because the item I ordered is no longer available. However I looked in the rewards on line cataglog and my item is still available for order.
What is the point of having an awards program if you receive this kind of customer service and treatment
A very unhappy customer
