Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[bababear_50]

Hi
Can anyone who shops Foodland get me a price on the can of Carnation hot chocolate(225g-500g)) and also the bottle of nestle quick (460g-700g)?
I am willing to travel a bit if the price is right,
Thanks
Hugs Mel

a couple possibilities for me
Ice cream novelties-$3.99x2=$7.98=20 airmiles
Pork-chops,lime and mango = 50 airmiles (anyone know how many limes and mangos I have to buy?). The recipe calls for 3 limes and 1 mango?

Multiple previous times I have purchased only one piece of fruit / vegetable with no problem.

Cool thanks all

I have to say that is wrong information. I am not sure what their reasons are. I always get one pass at a time, just don't want to wait and risk AM going up. I am just north of Toronto,GTA, and always comes UPS. I have no idea why?

Agreed. I ordered my park passes separately on Saturday and UPS just delivered them Wednesday. I did receive an email as soon as I ordered stating UPS would be the shipper and that I MUST sign for the package. Wrong! No signature required

That is a really useful website you quoted. I've bookmarked it for future reference. Lots of great info on this site.

Sooooooo..... The pork chops had to be "super sized" so I only did one of these for 50 airmiles.
Some how I must have missed that ( "Super Size" note).
I am the only one in the house that eats pork chops and a super size package will last me a long time.
I skipped the ice cream as it was on sale for 2.00 cheaper at No Frills.
Happy shopping
Hugs Mel

Just wanted to remind everyone when shopping at Rexall on a Friday - Sunday make sure you swipe your Airmiles card. I forgot to swipe my card when picking up two items so I didn't get the spend $30 for 50AM coupon (for the following week) at the bottom of the page. I asked the cashier about the coupon and he told me I had to swipe my AM card to get it. I'll pop in tomorrow and get some milk. I've got to have my coupon!

Good to know. Thanks.

There is a coupon on the airmiles site under the summer bonus offers for Rexall. It's spend $50 get 80AM, I think.

 

[DilEmma]

Just an FYI. It was new to me:

I went to Rexall today with the intent to redeem 190 Airmiles for $20 and getting the 50 bonus Airmiles. (I allocate 10% of all my Airmiles so I can do the cash redemptions for these bonus offers - and sometimes have to shut the cash off.)

I also wanted to receive the spend $30 get the $10 coupon (expires in less than two weeks but stacks with the $5 WUS $25 and the get 50 AM WUS $30).

The gift card didn't initially show up so the cashier read the fine print on the flyer and apparently milk and bread are excluded. I can't find the exclusion in the fine print myself. Rather, that exclusion seems to be for the Senior Discount.

Anyway, this was new for me so I thought I'd let you know so you can shop accordingly.

Anyone still waiting on their march 100 bonus? I am still waiting on a 100 bonus, but not sure if it is my march one or april one from bmo mc.

And, of course, my 40 from nslc who are always forgetting to add the large bonus miles. Grr

 

[ottawamom]

Still patiently waiting for the those AM from March to show up. Only a few more weeks and we can question where they are. I'm really hesitant to do more of their bonus offers if they take forever to show up like this. Anyone else joining this bandwagon?

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I must have received my BMO MC bonus 100 then, if everyone else still hasn't received their March promo 100. I think we can contact Air Miles support at the end of the month (120 days)

There was a month I didn't think I got them for but I could not find the email that pertained to them so I thought I had read it wrong.

I was wondering the same thing....

 

[ottawamom]

I picked up one lime and one mango one package of pork chops. The Offer didn't work as it should have automatically so I went to customer service and they added the AM manually.

That is such a pain. sucks

OK all you brilliant Airmiles experts, I have a question and I am hoping someone can help me out please. I have been a collector for years but not full speed ahead, just here and there when I can and then redeeming for the occasional attraction ticket. This thread has really helped me build up my Airmiles (thanks again to Jaqueline for starting it!)

What I am trying to find out is, can I use Airmiles to purchase e-vouchers or gift cards for Air Canada? I have flights booked for August that I paid out of pocket for and I am would like to try and pay for one bag as well as seat assignments another way. I was hoping I might be able to find a way through Airmiles (like a gift card ) or another reward program. Any ideas folks? If not Airmiles, perhaps some of you are also part of other programs that I could use. I belong to a few but I do not have Aeroplan. Thanks for any advice you have....
