Fair use rationale for Image:Air Miles.png
Image:Air Miles.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 04:50, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Not within scope of Aviation WikiProject
I don't believe this article is within the scope of the project and have removed the tag. Air Miles operates loyalty programs, where the reward can take the form of flights as well as other rewards. The various loyalty programs operated by Air Miles are not frequent flyer programs - you don't generally get points for flying, but rather collect them from general household expenditure. So I believe, despite its name, it has no substantive link to the subject of aviation. Murtoa 01:47, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- OK, but which project tag should be here instead? There's WikiProject Business & Economics, WikiProject Retailing, etc... - Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 02:41, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Merge with loyalty program?
Disagree with this proposal. Air Miles is a significant topic in its own right; has been a leading entity in multi-retailer loyalty programs and its various executions across several countries warrants its own article. Murtoa 01:47, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Strongly Disagree, Air Miles is it's own organization, and needs its own article. To merge this with loyalty program would be very silly! Greenboxed 01:15, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Disagree As stated above Air miles is its own company and is synonymous with reward programs in canada and is worth of its own article.Shadows604 03:36, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Airmilesnewlogo.jpg
Image:Airmilesnewlogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

AIR MILES
According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (trademarks), the Wikipedia style is to use capital and small letters in corproate names, event where the company involved prefers all capital letters. I have adjusted the article in accordance with the Wikipedia style. Ground Zero | t 19:21, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Air Miles logo
On my Dutch Air Miles card, the logo does not feature an airplane. Instead, three birds are visible. The logo can also be viewed on the dutch Air Miles website. Are there other variants of the logo in other countries, and what is the story behind them? May be worth my 2 airmiles. Virtlinkt•c 13:07, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
Terrible Article
This page could really use some help from someone who has the time. The subject is rather important because this program is well known world wide and, as stated above, Air Miles is synonymous with reward programs in Canada. There are no sources for half the article and when I entered the article, it was wrong: Westjet is no longer a partner with the Air Miles program.
Lacking insight
I looked up this page hoping to learn about the Air Miles business model ... how do they make money? Infindebula (talk) 23:49, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Not frequent flyer programs
I've amended the opening paragraph to remove the alternative description of the various Air Miles programs as frequent flyer programs. These programs are not aimed at frequent flyers - rather, the principal method of collecting points (or Airmiles) is from everyday household purchases, such as groceries and fuel, other retail purchases and from credit card use. While flights remain as a reward choice for these programs (albeit not the principal reward as these programs have evolved), generally collecting points (or Airmiles) from flying is not a principal focus for these programs.

pages of useless info
This article doesn't explain the basic question, "what the heck is a air miles". is it a credit card or what? 02:29, 10 June 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.99.131.84 (talk)
