Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Sobeys normally post on Thursday morning, or late Wednesday on occasion, but their cut off date seems to have moved to earlier. I used to find that anything I bought by Friday would post the following week, now I have to wait two weeks. It's kind of annoying. I really prefer Rexall and Shell, they post the next day! Metro is hit or miss for me, sometimes they post Thursday like Sobeys, and sometimes I have to wait an extra week, longer if it's one of their special promotions that don't show up on the receipt (which I really don't like!)

Thanks for the information.

Wow I was just coming in here to say the same thing! Since when does airmiles ever LOWER the amount needed!?
I'm still 500 short for the 5 day pass, but I can do that in about two weeks. Well, three weeks I guess because I'll be in Florida next week. I hope this lasts awhile! :)
 


I am soooo upset. If I had only waited to order my tickets I could have saved 2625AM (5 7day tickets). Who would ever have thought that they would lower the amount needed like pigletto said. I suppose it could just as easily have gone the other way. Now if only AM would reduce the # of AM needed for my flights when I need them in 2018 I may be able to get over this:headache:
 
I think we are all in shock, especially after they raised them last year. I would not expect this in other areas. Still go by the theory of grabbing my tickets as soon as I have enough points.
Just like after you buy your plane tickets, dont look back at the sale, if you were not happy with the price the first time then you shouldnt have bought. Lets be happy (little jealous) of those who can take the advantage of this great discount.
 
It must be because of the Cdn resident sale on park passes from Disney right now...it makes sense that AM would pass those savings on to us. Still totally shocking that they did!!

For those who cashed in recently, maybe call AM and see if they will do anything for you? That would eat at me until my pragmatic husband points out that free is still free and your efforts to collect enough AM should be celebrated! :cheer2:
 


As an afterthought. The discounted Canadian tickets will be vouchers that will need to be exchanged at the "gate" for real tickets. At least mine are actual tickets. I was happy with the price I paid the first time. It was a good deal. It's just upsetting when a better deal comes along not long after you've purchased.

And since it hasn't been confirmed if these vouchers can be bridged at the gate I wouldn't be impressed. We're adding hoppers to ours and more than likely extra days since our trip has morphed into almost 3 full weeks!
 
I just chatted with Air Miles and no dice on getting refunded miles of the difference in cost. I kinda figured that would happen, but it never hurts to ask.
 
This has probably already been answered, but I'll ask anyway. If I get a US ticket, can I apply the value of it toward the renewal of an AP? Or does US not do that like DW does?
 
Those discounted tickets are nice, but they no longer have the 3-day tickets (which I realize were not part of the 25% off deal at WDW, and that the 5-day tickets are less than the 3-day were, but I was only planning on a short trip!). And I'm not sure if I can add park hoppers to them? I guess the hopper part isn't going to be 25% off like it is if I order them from Disney either. What to do... my kid wants to go on another cruise instead of a Disney trip! I wanted Disney lol. What kind of 6 (almost 7) year old doesn't want to go to Walt Disney World???
 
I was also only planning to get three day tickets, but honestly, the five day tickets are LESS than the three day passes were.

I have never ordered tickets but have been saving and saving for this reason.

A previous post said that these are vouchers you have to exchange for tickets at the gate - that seems like a pain. Does this mean they don't show up to add your My Disney Experience to get Fast Pass + and such? I am planning WDW, not DL if that makes a difference.

There's been reports of those vouchers "in the wild" yet and several of us have been trying to find out this information. Can these vouchers be bridged/upgraded or not? Not even sure about adding hoppers to them, I've asked several people, lots of different ways and no one knows the answer yet

Normally i hate sending people somewhere else to get information but this question is being discussed in detail in another thread. It's up to 11 pages long now but if you read thru it you will find out all the information that people have discovered up to this point. You can even see a picture of what you will get. Short answer YES you can attached them to your MDE

We introduced our then DD7 to the world of cruising and it's all she talks about. I've been slowly introducing the idea of Walt Disney World to her so by the time our trip rolls around, she will be rearing to go!

I think I made a mistake when I took him on the first cruise :) We spent a couple nights at Disney first and went to Animal Kingdom, which he loved. It seems to be the only park he really wants to go to. I like being able to relax on the cruise. But these deals (free Disney tickets! well using AM any way) is hard to pass up! He wasn't too keen on Magic Kingdom when we went this summer. I may just have to get whatever 5-day passes I can to keep at some for a trip any way (since they don't seem to expire until used).
 
I didn't see anything fabulous in Sobeys this week. If you like Golftown they again have the "buy a $50 golftown gift card and get 60 AM" I really wish they'd have the restaurant ones in on this as I could use that as gifts! No one I know golfs. Usual meal deals. Not sure the 50 AM one is worth it, bacon (for $7.99!) cooking onions (1.99) and organic white navy beans (1.99) the dry ones. So total price I'm sure it's great, but that's expensive bacon when they have the regular stuff on sale for $2.99. Any way!

Rexall is weird, they have a $30 30 AM on cosmetics but also a Get 100 AM when you use 285 Cash Miles for $30 (and for $30 you get a free $10 rexall gift card). But I don't have any cash miles, and even when I do I don't tend to save them up to that many... might be useful to someone though!

Metro has a buy 2 cheese (5.99 each) get 25 AM, we use a lot of cheese so that one might be good for me.

And voila, c'est tout! Is that right? I'm learning French for work... and not very good at it yet :)
