We both carry regular Air Miles cards and make much use of them. The principal reason we shop at IGA is to rack up the miles. We haven't used any for travel yet but we did buy some ski lift passes at Mt Tremblant for the Boy and his broad.

We make more use of the Boni-dollars offered by our visa issuer (Caisse Populaire Desjardins). They rack up in the same way as Air Miles but have an actual cash value. If we buy something, such as a train ticket, using visa, we simply tell Desjardins to use the Boni-dollars and stick the balance on our next bill.

I get very regular approaches from Amex, MBNA and others offering me credit. Given that I don't have a credit rating in this country, I find that amusing.
