Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[juniorbugman]

Well my card got no Sobeys offers this week and the other 2 cards got items but no spend bonus. Haven't had any of those in weeks so maybe they aren't doing that anymore.

 

[Debbie]

Yeah, this ain't no promo, just a contest that is offering a total of 3,334 prizes across the entire country.

Side note, I can't sign into either or my Sobey's accounts so no idea what my personal offers are which doesn't put me in any better position than last week when they popped up long enough for me to see them and then disappeared before i finished shopping. ANNOYING

ETA: took me over 40 minutes to straighten that all out, not happy with the new app

Thanks for the heads up. It didn't take me 40, but it took long enough. And on a busy day, definitely not what I needed to do

Well a cat tree was on the ordering list from Amazon ,,one scan
Sobeys shop 2nd scan
Two bottles water Shell 3rd scan (15 Airmiles),,no calories!
back to Global pets 4th scan
I'm all scanned out Airmiles

Ok I might get a 5th scan next week at Metro.
Yeah Ho Hum!

Hugs Mel

What are the scans for, Mel-the summer contest? I know that there is something else going on (Mix and Match??), but I can't find it on the website.

Your score on the chicken makes me think that a trip across the city might be warranted. DH and I love those things, and now the DD isn't eating our meat (she's gone kosher) it will last a lot longer for us!

[ilovetotravel1977]

I just did a post over the Scene+ thread from my Sobeys trip this morning outlining the points I earned, etc. Check it out if you are curious.

 

[dancin Disney style]

I did alright at Sobeys....spent $87 and earned 304 miles. I got the prime chicken, rice cakes, frozen scallops and a family sized sushi for dinner.

there was a spend $75 get 75 on my card that I knew nothing about. When I got home I looked it up and I have no idea where it came from as the expiry date on it was 05/02

 

[ottawamom]

I haven't been to Sobeys in forever as it's a bit of a drive. I had listed a few things from this weeks flyer to pick up. I just check DH and DS cards and they each have spend $50 get 75AM for one and 100AM on the other. I just added a few other things to the list so I should be able to do both get the airmiles from the offers and the two bonuses above. Worth the drive this week. (385AM if all goes to plan) Best week I will have had in a long time.

 

[hdrolfe]

Today was very busy at work, wrapping things up as I'm now off until after Labour Day, so about 3 1/2 weeks. Looking forward to some stuff around the area, we have season passes to Calypso (as do a few of kiddos friends) so will probably go there once or twice. Also have back to school shopping to do! Out to Tanger Outlets to hopefully get a few good deals. I am also planning on some online shopping to do the mix-and-match. Best news today, a job I applied on finally had the pool established and I made it! Phew. I've been at the same level for 10 years so this would be a great opportunity, and a little extra money. I do stand a good chance at it, I've already talked to my manager and she's talked to her boss about making a position for me, apparently they are worried I'll leave. So fingers crossed I may have a raise (and more work lol) when I get back from vacation. Happy to have gotten the news about the pool before I left though.

I haven't been earning very many AM, won't be getting Onyx at this rate. Losing Rexall and Sobeys was a big hit to my earnings. Even Metro hasn't been giving me very good offers lately. I am sure I'll do the Mix and Match online, but ya'll know I have terrible luck at those online shops posting properly. I need some more AM though! Next cruises are booked for April and haven't booked flights (what a mess flights are now) and a hotel pre cruise. Trying to be patient and just wait for that trip but I wish we could head back to Disney and try out Universal.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I swore I wasn't going to bother with the M&M promo, but I actually might make the 750 AM. DD and I both need new indoor soccer boots and socks (Nike), DD needed a new lunch box (DSW), my Clinique mascara has been discontinued and well.ca still has it, I have a credit for Linen Chest and sheets are on sale, and amazon has this travel backpack that fits under the airline seats (since I will be going carry on). So I have the five partners figured out, just need to figure out if $500 can be met. I really didn't WANT to spend $500 all at once right now though. This time of year is so expensive with school and sports registrations.

I have my *Prey*

[ilovetotravel1977]

One of my portal purchases ($30) has posted to my account and I have already received the 100 mix and match miles. I thought it had to be two offers over $100/100 miles? I did a nike order as well but that hasn’t shipped yet.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

So not AM related:

I plan on buy gift cards for our trip to cover 90% of our costs. Only bringing enough cash for the transportation ($70 US) and extra ($100 US).

This is my budget for DD14 and I:

$350 (Food - 6 days, 2 meals each = $14.58 per meal)
$50 (Dinner at DS for arrival day)
$85 (Resort Balance owing)
$75 (Souvenirs)
=$560 US = $723+ CDN (Buy $725 Gift card(s))

Does that seem reasonable? Trying to not use my credit card to avoid foreign exchange fees.

I don't want to have ANY leftover on the cards since this will be our last trip for a long time.

I think you have underestimated your food by a fair amount. More realistically you should be $25 per meal per person. Prices have gone up significantly. You would be looking at $15-16 before taxes and no drinks for a low end counter service meal. Then you need to factor in snacks and at least some drinks. Even a Coke is around $4.

$75 for souvies….ummmm…..unless you know for a fact that you are only going to buy a couple of small trinket type things that won’t be enough either. Again, prices are higher. Something like a keychain that you used to get for $10 is now $15-20.

I spent more in January on our 5 days visit than I have ever spent down there. Granted I had to pay for tests but even without that I probably spent $800+ more than in the past.

Since you don’t want any left over funds on a gift card you should perhaps stick with what you have planned and use a credit card for any additional charges.

We are only doing quick service. No table service. I looked at the menus on the website and adult meals are all $11.99-$14.99. Kids are $7.99 which what I ate for lunches last time.

$20 for a key chain? Seriously. That seems a tad over the top. I'm buying park pins, maybe some stationery-type items, etc.

I think perhaps prices have not been updated online. What you mention is low. I was very surprised to see a basic cheeseburger in the Music food court for $18. I have many times had kids meals or we split a larger entre so that we can have a dessert or two. You might be okay with your budget is that is your plan.

I think perhaps prices have not been updated online. What you mention is low. I was very surprised to see a basic cheeseburger in the Music food court for $18. I have many times had kids meals or we split a larger entre so that we can have a dessert or two. You might be okay with your budget is that is your plan.

Maybe so. I just checked the prices at Pop Century food court and the burgers are listed at 11.49-12.99. And that is directly from the WDW website. Perhaps someone can report back with some pricing info.

If you go into the app, you can pretend to put in a mobile order. Cosmic Rays has a burger and side for $12.29. No beverage included. Kids meals are still around $7-8 and include a beverage. Fountain beverage is $3.99, water is $3.50. Just an example.

All this talk about the price increases at Disney /Florida has me think of changing over to Cash Airmiles and picking up a few Starbucks GC, I love their Banana & Strawberry smoothies in the morning.
