AIR MILES Is Gone. Here's What Actually Earns You Travel Now

  If you've been holding onto a Air Miles card waiting to redeem for a flight, the program you signed up for doesn't exist anymore — and the cards that replaced it aren't the best game in town. If you searched "best AIR MILES credit card" and landed here, there's something you need to know first: there is no such thing anymore. AIR MILES, the loyalty program that's been part of Canadian wallets since 1992, officially became BMO Blue Rewards on June 2, 2026.

Ukrainian air defenses intercepted the majority, but nearly 100 buildings were damaged, including a shopping mall, homes, and the European Union’s diplomatic mission.

President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the strikes as proof that Moscow is “choosing ballistics instead of the negotiating table” and urged the international community to respond with stronger sanctions. Emergency crews worked through the morning to rescue survivors from collapsed buildings, while residents cleared shattered glass from streets littered with debris.

The assault marks a rare direct hit on Kyiv’s city center and underscores the escalating intensity of Russia’s long-range attacks, even as global peace efforts struggle to gain traction.
