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 drone attacks overnight have struck key Russian energy infrastructure, forcing a 50% capacity cut at the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant and sparking a major fire at Novatek’s Ust-Luga fuel export terminal.

Russian officials said air defences intercepted a drone near the Kursk plant, damaging an auxiliary transformer at reactor No. 3. The resulting fire was quickly extinguished, with no injuries reported and radiation levels remaining normal.

In Russia’s Leningrad region, debris from downed drones ignited a blaze at the Ust-Luga terminal — a major Baltic Sea hub for processing and exporting fuel products. Emergency crews contained the fire, and no casualties were reported.

Moscow claimed its forces destroyed 95 Ukrainian drones across 13 regions overnight, while flights at several airports, including St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo, were temporarily halted due to the attacks.

Kyiv has not commented on the latest strikes but has previously said such operations target infrastructure critical to Russia’s war effort.
