EARNING POINTS
Why don't you have my favorite online
store?
We are always looking for suggestions for new stores. If there is a
store you frequent online and would like to earn miles for shopping there,
please
contact us with the name of the store and your estimated yearly
purchases there, and we will investigate adding it to our site.
Why hasn't my purchase posted to my
account yet?
It can take several days for your purchase to post. If your points have
not posted within 10 days of your purchase, please fill out the
missing points form
and we will investigate the discrepancy. Please do
not send emails requesting points until at least 10 days have passed since
your purchase.
Can I bookmark a store for easy
reference and still earn points?
You must log into AirMilesMart and click the AirMilesMart link every
time you shop in order to earn points. If you do not click through the
AirMilesMart link your account will not be credited for any purchases you
make.
Why haven't my frequent flier miles
posted to my frequent flier account yet?
Most frequent flier miles redemptions will post within a few days.
Occasionally it may take up to 10 days. If more then 10 days have passed
since your redemption request, please
contact us.

What is the AirMilesMart Helper?
The AirMilesMart Helper is a browser plug-in which alerts you any time
you navigate to an AirMilesMart merchant partner. Your browser will
give you the option to earn AirMilesMart points, and by clicking YES, you
will automatically earn AirMilesMart points on any purchases you make.
How do I get the AirMilesMart Helper?
The AirMilesMart Helper is free and can be downloaded by following the
instructions on the AirMilesMart Helper
download
page.
Do I still need to shop through the AirMilesMart site if I am using the
AirMilesMart helper?
If the AirMilesMart Helper alerts
you to an online partner and you select YES when prompted, your points will
be automatically credited. You must remain on the partner site after
clicking YES without clicking on any other sites or opening up any other
windows until completing your purchase in order to earn AirMilesMart points.

To receive credit for these merchants you must still click through the
appropriate link at AirMilesMart.com
You are welcome to still visit AirMilesMart.com to see our new merchants and

AirMilesMart points on a purchase so that I can credit the purchase to
another web site?
We hope that AirMilesMart always provides you with the best value when
shopping online, but you have the option to click NO and your purchase
will be credited to whichever web portal you used to navigate to the site.
You can also just ignore the banner and click any link on the page and you
will not be credited with AirMilesMart points for that purchase.
Is the AirMilesMart Helper spyware?
No. The AirMilesMart Helper is only used to ensure you receive
AirMilesMart points for your online purchases. No other information
about your computer or your browsing activities are ever passed to
AirMilesMart. The Helper will occasionally check the AirMilesMart
server to ensure it has the latest list of merchant partners, however this
is done without sending any information to AirMilesMart and is only used to
ensure that the AirMilesMart Helper can reliably alert you to our merchant
partners.
Can I remove the AirMilesMart Helper?
Yes, you can remove and reinstall the AirMilesMart Helper as many times
as you like. To remove the plug-in just follow the directions on the
AirMilesMart Helper
