@pierresgarage2687 6 лет назад

They make it so difficult to redeem, and the products they "Give" you with the fees end up costing them close to nothing ( Direct import from Asia, example a clock valued at $50 cost them $5, and, they charge you points plus maybe $35 to let you have it.... What a deal...!!!!!) and most of the time they even make more money on top of what they got from the merchants. Burned my card and never again those scams...!!!

@timmydirtyrat6015 5 лет назад

+Bill They intentionally don't want you to use your points, they make you pay more than just buying wholesale, they split Dream and Cash into separate sections and won't let you transfer without telling you, they made an expiration date and didn't tell people, etc. Do you need anymore examples?

My points went to the 'Dream' category by default. I talked to Air Miles numerous times to transfer the Dream points back to my Cash category... but they would not budge. I stopped collecting ever since. Much better off with Aeroplan.

When people wanted to redeem their rewards, the most I would suggest is waiting longer after determining if they should due to expiration dates because they could earn more it they had more points. When it came to redeeming the points, all it took was 3 or 4 clicks and a disclosure and a check would be mailed in 8-10 business days or deposited into an account within 1 business day.

I mean no offense, but I would never engage in such a business as I would always expect this level of service from a rewards program.

Also, if you use your points to book a classic flight and use more points to book the same flight via market fare option, you may pay more points but end up pay much less fee & tax. At the same time, getting a flight via market fare option will give you more options with better schedules and more direct flight. I doubt Aeroplan is anywhere better.

Rewards are only good for places wanting to bring people back to buy more stuff at the benefit of saving a few dollars. Places like JCPenney have their rewards program where you spend a certain amount, you gain points, after so many points you get a reward. These rewards go up the higher tiers you go. Pay with the store card you get dollar per point. (Half of that when paying with anything else). The way they get out of paying out those points is to use deals and sales to reduce the amount of points people get. if something is $100, JCP Card- 100pts any other form of payment- 50pts but its now on sale for 15% off; ~$82 jcp card- 82pts other- 41pts Lets say you have a reward for $10 off: $72 jcp- 72pts other- 31pts That is IF the rewards are permanent. You have 30-45 days to use any rewards you earn, after that they expire and are deleted from your account. BUT, there are customer loyalty programs where they give members rewards for things like birthdays and big events

This is why I use Aeroplan. Too bad that Air Canada is pulling out of it in 2020, without AC, Aeroplan won't ever be the same.

I worked there 2008-2010. So many unethical and questionable practices. This was back when people had to call us to book flight/hotel/car and the system was soooo slow that many times people who give up before redeeming, because who can spend 30-40 minutes on the phone with us to book, especially after they've been on hold for an hour! Plus we had a quota (although they were very careful to never use that word... I forget the made-up term that was used) but we had to generate a certain about of revenue per hour, or we were fired, so if you ever got an strong/desperate pitch to buy insurance, that's why! Oh and they still charge the $20 "booking fee" for customers to book their own ticket online!

As an Onyx card holder, I quit the rewards game quite a while ago. Rewards just aren't worth it, when you do some research. Now only redeem cash miles for groceries. Its the better deal.

Cash rewards only here. If the reward program does not have a cashout or gift card option, or the points expire, don't even bother. Points have always seemed like a scam to me.

Can you please have an American version of Market Place?

@jiaweichew3370 5 лет назад

Hmmm... maybe a law saying that if scams or frauds like these happen make them pay a reparation of 2 million to each customer with no parole or settlement agreement(can’t go to court to defend their actions).

I just use Capital One credit card with 2% cashback on all purchases. You can use it on airline tickets or just cash it out to pay off your card. You have to have excellent credit to get this card. You can buy an airline ticket you want, after you pay for it, you logon to your account and tell them you want to use your cashback to pay for the tickets. It's so easy! You even earn 2% on the airline tickets you purchase. I don't think there is any airline miles program that pays better.
