For several years now we have featured a series on the Rewards Canada blog called Redemption Stories Similar to our Earning Stories series which focuses on the other of the reward spectrum, these Redemption Stories show real world use of miles and points for travel and other redemptions. Not only does it feature Rewards Canada's redemptions but also those of our readers in "The Good The Bad and The Ugly" portion. If you are a miles/points rookie be sure to keep an eye on these stories as they are another great way to learn on how to use your miles and points and to help fulfill our mission of being Canada's Gateway to more Miles more Points and more Rewards.
