It is incredible what is happening with Air Miles Canada at the moment.

This week, JSS Barristers, a Calgary law firm, filed a class action lawsuit against LoyaltyOne, the company that owns and operates the Air Miles rewards program in Canada.

The proposed class includes persons, resident anywhere in Canada, with a positive Dream Rewards Miles balance at any time on or after December 28, 2011.

You do not need to take any positive steps to join the lawsuit. If you fall within the proposed class, you are automatically a member of the class, unless you expressly choose to opt out.

I personally collect Air Miles when I get a good offer or with regular shopping but I don’t go out of my way to collect them.

Here is my Transactions to show where I use my miles. I would avoid Dream Miles like the plague as it take so long to collect.

Full Disclosure: I redeem my Dream Miles for anything but travel because I am not a fan of their award chart. I am also not a fan of their redemption catalog (fluctuating prices) and not enough discounts for elite members (I am Oynx). 

Here is a link to the class action.
