It appears you're right, thanks! https://www.airmiles.ca/arrow/CashRewardsExpiration

A friend who's an active Air miles collector (vs randomly getting them when offered) had told me they had to be redeemed this year.

So there isn't the pressure to redeem that I thought, but they've still taken away most of the decent awards. Or does anyone think they'll reintroduce any $100/950DM awards? The last of them seen to be disappearing in the next couple of weeks.
