Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ottawamom]

I just had two things post to my account. One is 50AM for a redemption event. I'm thinking it's for the redemption offer they had earlier in July as it's too soon for the StB offer. Hoping someone else did the earlier in July redemption but not the StB redemption and can confirm. Otherwise time will tell.

Other item posted was cardlinked bonus that I stacked with my StB purchase 25AM.

Ok
just wondering what your thoughts are?
Is anyone else finding they are saving more on another rewards
program.
I have tracked the last 6 months with Airmiles and I collected
5, 591 Airmiles , this was with a bigger Shop The Block (Jan 2025) and initially a super amount of Receipt --- not possible now.

I have actually had to make over 10 or more phone calls for missing miles.
Sorry just evaluating my commitment/ interest in this rewards program going
forward.

Thoughts?
Hugs Mel

So far this year I have only earned 3635 so unless some super duper bonus promos come up I won't be Onyx next year.

I've only earned 3200 so far this month, I still hope I'll get to Onyx but it's harder than in the past. I do a lot of my grocery shopping as delivery which I can't use for receipt offers. I miss all the old places like Rexall, Sobeys, Metro, and even Dollarama. Shell is my primary source lately, and I don't need gas that often. My shell gas offer this month is 40 AM for 3 fill ups and another 40 for a 4th, I fill up once a month lol, that's not worth it. But I also don't earn anything on my groceries which seems to be my biggest expense.

Looking back at my earnings since Jan 1st, ~3500) my main source of AM was my BMO mastercard, AMshops (walmart and amazon) and receipts.
Occasionally Kent building supplies, Shell (if I'm away from my gas station on the Native reserve), Global pets (we buy our food at a different local company), and I think 2x in 6 months we bought at the NSLC.

Mostly I treat AM as a bonus earn, and not a focus. We focus on Scene+ (as a Sobeys household), AM are background, I put more effort in earning during "events" (can we even call them that anymore!) and I barely earn PC points.

I do think it's nice we have several points programs, so I can shift my focus as the earning potentials change from feast to famine.

Same. Although I am only at 2700 AM this year.

I feel that I could have written this 100% Bring back Dollarama!

I am of this mindset. I'm not going out of my way to get a few AM. I do use the PC points with my groceries, but most of my shopping will go on my Tangerine cash back credit card. I rarely use my BMO AM card.

Yes, I had the same post, and I have not done the redemption (yet) this time. (or does the evoucher redemption count as that??) It posted at the same time as my 200AM for the dream redemption. This I believe was my Ninja processor that I got earlier in July.

I just logged in to see how many miles I've earned this year. I have moved so many back and forth between Cash and Dream and DH and DS transferred their miles to me. It is going to take some semi-serious math to figure out how many I've earn myself this year. I wasn't too concerned about how many I earn as my CC keeps me ONYX.

I think that is a lot!!!!
