Good news for those who want to redeem those Air Miles before yet another hiccup in the system.  Starting tomorrow, you will be able to redeem Air Miles Cash in stores again, but with a catch.  You are now limited to $50 per day, so no more redeeming for big ticket items if you save up your points.  Plus, they no longer allow redemptions for gift cards.  So if you are like me and redeem for a gift card to spend at lower cost stores, you may have to rethink your shopping plans.

Air Miles has also added a little more security to the cards but you still do not need a PIN to redeem.

• Every AIR MILES Cash transaction prompts an email to inform you of the activity and also provides instructions on what to do if you were not the one who used Cash Miles in-store
• You must log in with your PIN to view your balance and not just transactions
• A new easy card lock page that allows you to earn but not redeem can be found at airmiles.ca/cashlock
