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. BMO had already stopped issuing new AIR MILES cards back in January, and every collector's Miles converted automatically into Blue Points at a rate of roughly 1 Air Mile to 15.79 Blue Points — no action needed, no lost value.

RCMP Cadaver Dog Search Yields No Clues in Hunt for Missing N.S. Siblings

                                    Lilly Sullivan, 6, and Jack Sullivan, 4, have been missing since May 2. 

The search for two missing children in rural Nova Scotia has reached another difficult turn, as RCMP confirm that cadaver dogs brought in to assist have not located any human remains.

Six-year-old Lilly Sullivan and her four-year-old brother Jack were reported missing on May 2 from their home in Lansdowne Station, Pictou County. In late September, two specialized police dogs and their handlers combed through roughly 40 kilometres of terrain, including the family’s property, nearby trails, a pipeline corridor, and the site where a pink blanket had previously been discovered.

Despite the extensive effort, the dogs did not detect the scent of human remains. RCMP officials emphasized that while the results are significant, they do not definitively rule out the presence of remains in the areas searched.

Investigators continue to pursue the case, reviewing more than 860 public tips and thousands of video files. “Each piece of information, including the results from the search teams, helps inform our next steps,” said Staff Sgt. Rob McCamon.

The disappearance of Lilly and Jack has prompted one of the largest search operations in the province’s recent history, with police maintaining that all possibilities remain under consideration.
