Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[dancin Disney style]

HI all...so I’m im out on the balcony at WL watching trucks get unloaded and the garbage dumped while I sip my morning tea and see what you have been up to. Yes, we have a lovely view of the service area. On the plus side we can see the castle in the distance and have a good view of the evening fireworks. We had a nice morning at the pool yesterday and then had a blast at MNSSHP last night. The park actually felt a little quiet even at 4pm when we got in but it had rained really heavily from about 1-2:30 so I’ll assume that a lot of people left early. Today we have no plans so probably back to the pool.

On an even higher note we are now trying to figure out how we are getting home....thank you Dorian. Disney has sent out notifications of closures starting tomorrow and the airline emailed me suggesting that we change out flight to either leave today or Thursday. UGGGG! I’m having a hard time getting info on what could potentially happen. There is a flight at 7:50pm Monday night and that would be so bad as we are scheduled to fly Tuesday morning at 8am but I don’t know if that’s early enough.

Good grief it just started to POUR rain. Maybe today is going to be a shopping day

Unfortunately the airport closes at 2:00am on Monday. Looks like it's a Sunday flight at the latest. Stay safe. Let us know how it goes.

Ugh missed Blue Friday after a 12hr shift... oops! Still have to do the back to school shopping.

If you book Air Canada flights with Expedia.ca, can you still get Aeroplan miles on the booked flights? TIA!

Just read the latest report, Hurricane now tracking just below a 5. But looking like the storm is not going to make landfall in Florida. So they say, or a least not the eye..
Stay safe, Disney is made to withstand a 5+, own water and power, so really one of the safest places, and happiest place to be.
I vote stay till thurs.

I'd stay too! Worst case, you're hanging out in Wilderness Lodge for a few days. Sounds like you are in the main building, what a beautiful place to be.

Airmilesshops is still on 10x until Monday if you don't need items for Tuesday.

 

[FLVacationGirl]

Bubly obtained. 350 air miles for 28 cases. Plus 85 for a threshold spend. I forgot to ask them to scan the 100 coupon so they did that after plus 5 base miles. So 540 air miles plus I used a gift card that I got 100 miles for purchasing. Great air miles week between this and Rexall! Can’t wait for my Dec Disney trip.

I have a question about the Onyx personal shopper. Is this something that I could use to get Disney After Hours tickets?

Is there a minimum amount? I thought it’s $100 but can’t see it in terms and conditions on the website.

I've been doing airmiles for years (to help with the cost of my DL trips) but basically only do IGA (groceries and love blue fridays) and shell gas. What am I missing and how do I get the coupons? I've been scanning this thread but am having a hard time figuring out stuff.

Start with the first page of this thread @Donald - my hero has done a wonderful job summarizing a lot of the needed information there. Still have questions? ask away.

 

[pigletto]

@dancin Disney style , if it were me I would find a way to stay. TBH, I don’t know if you will have a choice to get out before the airport closes on Monday. I would book the Thursday flight and a room at one of the values maybe. I just took a peak and all of the values have availability from Tuesday to Thursday. Good luck with your decision.

I did a Rexall shop today and it just says “NA” where my airmiles totals should be. I went back in and the manager said they should post anyway and if not to come back in a few days and they would manually adjust. Anyone else have a Rexall issue today ?

YES! I've booked WestJet numerous times thru Expedia Uuhm, hello, triple dipping -- AM, Expedia points AND Westjet Rewards) You'll get to the final page where you're adding names etc and this little drop down menu appears

YES, so long as it is a specific item that can be ordered thru a website accessible in Canada and can be paid for with a Canadian credit card then you can order it. Just tell them exactly what you want: age of person wanting ticket, date & park and they'll get you a quote. HAVE FUN!

Is there a minimum amount? I thought it’s $100 but can’t see it in terms and conditions on the website.

NO minimum purchase for this offer, that was the first coupon that you had to spend $100. You will get the 10X on ANY purchases made thru the portal until midnight Sept 2nd

Did your miles that you earned appear on the receipt or is it just the miles that are already in your account that didn't print? If it's just your current miles, that is a common Rexall issue for me .. never figured out if there is any reason to it or not. If it's today's earned miles, just keep a copy of the flyer to refer to but I'd be surprised if they don't post to your account in the morning!

I am oddly busy today (yes, I'm both odd and busy ) But i didn't want you to think I'm ignoring your important question! Hubby has no patience for me using social media when he's around sooo I'll get back to this after he goes to bed tonight!
