Safeway is giving me 100 bonus airmiles every time I spend more then $100 right now. Great way for the totals to add up. I've been saving for quite a few years, finally redeemed them for something (new DVD player). For a long time, I didn't go to many Airmiles places.

You definately should have been earning more Airmiles then what you were.

My recommendation, don't use your air miles to pay for flights - because of the fact that you still have to pay for the taxes. You can save much more money by redeeming airmiles on more conventional purchases. If you like going to movies, and usually take someone else along, you can get a two for one pass for 25 Airmiles - basically only costs you 2 airmiles for every dollar you save. You can get gift cards for around 9 airmiles for every dollar you save (which is about the average amount). Because you have to pay the taxes on flights, using airmiles for flights would often cost you 15-20 airmiles for every dollar you save.
