The wording is...
Subject to any applicable regulations, any stipulation of or
amendment to the contract providing for an expiry date on the rewards points
obtained by the consumer is prohibited.
I interpret that to mean that miles cannot expire, ever, due to inactivity or anything else, unless the regulations
they make up allow for it.

I think the bill's do not include points expiring with inactivity only that points cannot expire after a fixed time(even if the points membership remained open).

I tried a GCR application ($75 annual fee, $60 rebate) to see what would happen.
Went through the whole process.

DP: Applied for another BW card and was declined as the agent told me the system automatically picked up I have a second card. I have had multiple BW cards in the past so this used to work. Anyone else seeing this problem?

Amazingly enough, this Air Miles offer seems pretty good.
And even if you won't admit that you still have an Air Miles card, you know you know someone who does.
During May 2017, use the special coupons and shop at 5 different Air Miles Partners to get an additional 1,250 Air Miles bonus miles. The offers vary by province. The offers I'll probably use are:
Staples, $45 spend
Rexall, $25 spend
RONA, $60 spend
Shell, 25L purchase
Texture magazine app: Free 1-month subscription... maybe buy a second month at $10/$15.
Even if you use Air Miles for Cash Miles
, I calculate that value to be $131.You also get the bonus miles for each particular offer, too.

most cards give you up to 30 days into the new year to have it refunded. doesn't hurt to call. I've had my AMEX annual charge reversed by just calling in.

It's tricky, because the instruction for the free night has (I think) already been sent to Marriott.
