How it started
History
In 1991, entrepreneurs Craig Underwood, Sam Duboc, and Rob Gierkink began planning a coalition loyalty program, involving partners drawn from retail and financial services sectors. This resulted in the March 1992 launch of the Air Miles reward program. In 1998, Alliance Data acquired Loyalty Management Group Canada Inc., parent company of the AIR MILES program, and in 2008 renamed it LoyaltyOne.
