Depends how you collect your Air Miles.
Since the redemption debacle a couple of years ago I've gone 100% "cash Air Miles" (no travel or merchandise)
and just been looking for the bonus offers at Safeway (i.e. buy 2 of XYZ product get 50 Air Miles) or offers from AMEX Air Miles
(spend $100 in groceries on AMEX get 400 Air Miles) instead of accumulating them by regular spending (on Air Miles credit card,
the regular accrual rate is a really poor return at 1 Air Mile per $20 or $15 in spending).
Since they're largely bonus Air Miles, they're free and the gas ends up being free.
My credit card spending is on cash-back cards now (about 1% back) or PC MasterCard (for PC Optimum points for
No Frills or Real Canadian Superstore).
Also Safeway has a bonus offer on right now til March 8th.
