Thanks for all the answers everyone! I feel like such a newbie! One ore question - some of you seem to have separate cards for you and your spouse - so it is not an issue to have two different cards at the same mailing address? Right now we just have my account and DH has a card on the same account. Debating if I should get him to get his own card for promos
so if I can get flights from Ottawa I am much happier. I am considering going from Wednesday to Wednesday just to get better prices on flights, even though it means using extra vacation days and kiddo missing 3 extra days of school. I may use the points for Universal tickets instead, but that will also depend on when they come out with new ones and how much they are. My next trip I think we are only going to do a night or two at Disney and then switch, so no point in getting Disney tickets through airmiles, we will only need 1 or two days. I have looked at offsite hotels near Universal or Seaworld as well, using airmiles for that. And I am also one who wishes they would have a way to book myself online and pay with airmiles. They say it's coming... we shall see!

Yup, this is correct --and they technically have the right to delete your accounts and claw back all the miles you've earned ... here's the Terms & Conditions from the website (lots of tiny print, this is the stuff related to this conversation)
) it's there for both of them. No notification of this offer anywhere else, no email, no banner on Facebook or the Airmiles site so i would suggest opening the APP to see if you have it as well, looks targeted but like i said, on both accounts. EASY to complete, no minimum purchase just earn 1 mile at 2 different sponsors before Sunday and get 50 AM. Sorry the image is SOOOO BIGGGG but i wanted to include the terms as well. 
Thanks for mentioning this as I have a notification on my phone app but when I click on it I just get a pretty lilac screen but no text so now I know what it is I can complete my 2 shops. I had only made a tiny shop at Sobeys today and not even enough to earn 1 point but I just checked my loaded offers and one of those was redeemed today at Sobeys so I only need 1 more shop.keep forgetting to mention this. This popped up on my phone this afternoon and when i checked with both card numbers (yes i know i just gave a mini-lecture about 2 cards
Apparently it is time for me to add the Airmiles app to my iPad. I have no room on my phone. (need to upgrade, but am waiting for a wee bit longer! )I keep forgetting to mention this. This popped up on my phone this afternoon and when i checked with both card numbers (yes i know i just gave a mini-lecture about 2 cards
side note now i know why my battery drained to 35% before lunch, i left this stupid app loaded on my phone it's a hog!

This first bit makes me chuckle when i think of that one specific facebook group ... some of those people sure think they know what's going on but do they?!?!
These Terms and Conditions may be different from what you know about the Program. These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your participation in the Program, your entitlement to collect and use Miles and your entitlement to any other benefits of the Program, and supercede all previous versions.
And here's the bit about more than one card and what they can do if they think you're working the system ..
You may request additional AIR MILES Cards for other members of your household ("Additional Collectors") for which we may impose a fee in our discretion. You may collect Miles under one Collector Number only. All Miles collected by Additional Collectors for whom you have requested Additional Cards will be recorded under your Collector Number.
If no Miles are recorded in your Accounts for 24 months, you become bankrupt, commit fraud, misrepresent any information, violate any Terms and Conditions, abuse your Program privileges or act in any other way to the detriment of us, our Partners or Suppliers or the Program, we may, without affecting our other rights, disclose such information requested by proper authorities, terminate your enrollment and/or cancel your Miles and Rewards.
We have 2 cards but it's because the first one was technically established as a business account -- the 2nd one makes me nervous if i need to chase down miles, looking over my shoulder for the AM Police to find me
This is how I always interpreted it as well. I wouldn’t have an account for Dh or dd if I thought it wasnt within the rules. Dd is 21 and makes her own purchases with the card, and Dh buys his own things as well. For the larger promos, we maximize our earnings for sure, but we are spending the required amounts three times. If I knew otherwise I wouldn’t bother ... kind of a rule follower that way. I will continue until I’m told otherwise but I think it’s allowed.
