American Express CA and AIR MILES Accelerate Rewards with Every Grocery Purchase

Featuring Miles accelerators on grocery, gas and food, alongside a suite of impressive benefits, the American Express AIR MILES Platinum and American Express AIR MILES Reserve cards help turn every purchase into a step closer to incredible rewards.

At a time when Canadians are feeling the impact of rising food and gas prices, American Express Canada and the AIR MILES^® Reward Program are encouraging Canadians to make the most out of each trip to the grocery store with an American Express^®† AIR MILES® Reserve or American Express^®† AIR MILES^® Platinum credit card. Both cards feature accelerators on grocery and gas purchases that allows collectors to earn Miles quickly and get them closer to a reward with every scan, swipe or tap of the card.

"There's no doubt many Canadians are feeling the squeeze of rising costs on their family budgets," said Anne Parkhill, Vice President, Consumer Products, American Express Canada. "Now more than ever, we understand that our Cardmembers want to realize the full value of their day-to-day purchases with products that allow them to maximize their earning potential while also offering rich and valuable rewards."
