More on AMSC

People are ready to make healthier and more sustainable choices. All they need is a smarter incentive.

That’s why we created AIR MILES® for Social Change (AMSC). Now the power of Canada’s most popular loyalty currency can be leveraged for the public good – by harnessing the incredible reach and power of the AIR MILES Reward Program, which has helped leading brands use cost-effective reward miles to drive large-scale shifts in consumer behaviour.

We partner with social change organizations nationwide – from energy utilities and transit authorities to waste diversion and health awareness agencies – inspiring people to make better choices for themselves and their communities. By enabling governments and other public sector organizations to access the program on special commercial terms and use popular reward miles instead of cash, we dramatically improve program ROI while accelerating adoption.

The success of AIR MILES for Social Change is built on a proven loyalty model that has earned the trust of millions of Canadians. Together we can use the program’s marketing strength and unrivalled reach to promote and sustain positive social change.
