User reviews

Users appreciate that the extension reminds them to earn Air Miles and shows offers that maximize rewards, making collecting miles easier. However, many reviews criticize its frequent failure to load or function, persistent requirement to sign in upon each browser restart, omission of important stores like Amazon.ca, and annoying startup behavior. Lack of user information retention also frustrates users. Despite potential benefits, technical issues and lack of reliability diminish the overall experience.

Pros

Helps users earn more Air Miles by providing notifications during online shopping.
Offers reminders for extra miles offers on certain shops, aiding users to maximize their rewards.
Acts as a convenient reminder to collect miles, making the process easier for users.

Cons

Frequently does not work or load properly, often stuck on loading spinner or fails to open the panel.
Requires repeated sign-ins every time the browser is closed and reopened, lacking persistent login.
Does not reliably support key stores like Amazon.ca and fails to notify users about earning miles on such sites.
Overrides startup tabs by opening its own "How it Works" page each time Chrome is launched, which annoys users.
Fails to remember user information like Air Miles card number, causing inconvenience.

Garbage rarely works and it is Malware that hijacks your browser. Even though I have it installed, half of the time I launch chrome it opens a web page telling me to install it. I can only imagine what other damage it is doing behind the scenes behind the scenes.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

airmilesshops.ca® Assistant requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
