Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Donald - my hero]

I am about to drop about 2500$ CDN on some disneyworld tickets and was wondering if I could buy them through Expedia and with the 10x multiplier earn some air miles. I know they say they don't give air miles for tours and prepackaged vacations do I would love to know if anyone has any input on this plan.

That's a good question! I'm not 100% sure of the answer because i don't recall it ever coming up before. I do have an old screen shot from the last promo and I've highlighted the section i think the tickets fall under. If tickets ARE considered "vacation activities" they probably count. I've always gone with the thought "if something isn't included in the detailed list of exclusions it will earn miles"

As we are almost in November and hopefully Shop the Block is just around the corner (no pun intended) it's time to think about earning some CASH AM to use during that promotion.

I am suggesting switching over to Cash AM now and collect 285-475 Cash AM for use when Shop the Block goes live (if it even does this year). Historically there have been 3 to 5 easy opportunities to earn "partner use". Start early for those who don't rack up a lot of AM each week. I personally find it easier to go 100% Cash until I have enough then switch back to 100% Dream.

Changing over on a Sunday? All your purchases at Sobeys, Foodland and Safeway (from this past week) will post to your old preference this coming week. All AM earned Monday 3am on will go to Cash.

For those with more than one card in the household, don't forget to earn some AM Cash in those cards as well.

Great tip! Thank you!!

My Amazon Wish List is growing while holding out for STB!

Quick visit to Sobeys to get fresh mushrooms and check my BP.(Blood Pressure).
BP is good and I scored 4 boxes of Polysporin for the adult kids stockings,,last year they loved getting this.
15% off so $11.04 each 30 grams tube =buy 2 get 50 airmiles.
I noticed Catelli Pasta sauce on sale for 99 cents--not a bad deal.

Any guesses whether there will be a rexall promo this week?

I was just looking through the flipp app and I see some more expensive products I use are on sale this week. I usually go to Shoppers, but a good air miles return could be worth a trip!

Donald posted an Airmiles coupon for Tuesday a few pages back or you can find it on the Airmiles website. We won't know about about an email coupon until sometime tomorrow. If there's an email coupon that would likely mean Spend $50 get 100AM plus the email amount. Here's hoping

thanks for the reminder. I only have 259 cash miles so I just set mine to 50/50 until I have a bit more to cover possible STB offers.

thanks! it’s been a while since i tried to use coupons at rexall, and i couldn’t remember how much notice we generally get.

fingers crossed!

I'm hoping for a double dip on Tuesday at Rexall.
I am making a M&M list right now.
My *home* Rexall is selling off all of their frozen produce,,I'm hoping they are getting a M&M section.
I am also going to take in all my Zantac and ask if they will refund my money,,or at least dispose of it for me.
I guess it doesn't hurt to ask.
Happy list making.
Hugs

just found the coupon on the Rexall website and can confirm that it is a DIFFERENT barcode. I'll create a post with all the details, direct links and images as soon as I get the chance, most likely before noon.

ONE DAY ONLY Rexall Bonus Offer Tuesday October 29th

To play this game for maximum miles for your buck follow these tips:

1. BOTH bar codes MUST be scanned, neither can be loaded to your card
2. Politely ask the cashier to simply scan all coupons you have, let the system work it out.
3. Coupons can be either printed or shown on a mobile device
4. Since the offers are almost identical, be really careful that you get 2 different codes scanned
5. If a coupon has trouble scanning from your phone try turning up the brightness and zooming in so the bar code is larger You can even try getting them to type in the bar code number, that will also work
6. You can use the coupons multiple times, so if you can make more than 1 $50 transaction, GO FOR IT
7. Depending on the store you might be able to use the survey coupon for $5.00 off when you spend $25.00 I would be careful with this though, is $5 worth the potential $10 the Airmiles represents? Link for that is HERE

Two separate coupons from 2 different sources
Coupon # 1 came from the Airmiles Website (and more than likely in the APP on Tuesday with the SAME barcode) the barcode from this one is 417000052692
Link to the coupon is HERE
Image if you prefer

Just the barcode



Coupon # 2 came from Rexall and the barcode from this one is 4170000525685
Link to this coupon can be found HERE

Image if you prefer




Just the barcode

The StB usually starts mid-November so too late for you to book your hotel HOWEVER it's rare that the online shopping part includes anything travel related. Occasionally they might have a bonus connected to using the hotel hub but now that it's all lumped into one I'm not sure how that will play out either.

Thanks Donald I figured there probably wasn't anything offered with shop the block. I will be researching for a few days...to see what our best bang for the buck will be

OOOH all my fellow Rexall shoppers! If you're over 55 you'll be able to get even more products during your one-day only coupon trips!! Check this out -- for every one of your $50 transaction you'll also be getting a $10 gift card PLUS save 20% off all regular priced items. That brings the *cash return* up to $30 for every $50 transaction - $10 from the gift card AND $20 from the Airmiles (200 AM per $50)

Heads up that this might not work for some. I did the Seniors promo early this year, maybe January and the airmiles and survey coupon both would not go through with the senior's discount. After 30 minutes, the manager reluctantly gave me a goodwill 50 airmiles only because I was asking to refund the purchase and reentering it without the senior's discount and he was refusing to let me refund (said it costs their store). I haven't asked for a seniors discount since then.

YES! It clearly says on the survey coupon that it can't be combined with any other Rexall coupons and that's why I rarely (if ever) even attempt to use that coupon if there are any other promos I'm trying to use. I NEVER use it during the one-day only coupons because my miles are more important than $5.00 -- I would miss out on $20 worth of miles!

Most times i only use that survey coupon if I'm only buying full priced items that never go on sale.

It wasn't there when i was getting ready to post because the images i can share from my laptop are usually TERRIBLE! I will be heading to the surface soon to clean them up and I'll use the one from the APP for the barcode. Thanks for the heads up!!

I'm thinking what I might try tomorrow is tell them I'm a senior when I'm paying and see if they'll give the giftcard without entering the "senior button". Don't really want to be out the 200 airmiles over it. Hopefully someone here will try it, I'm still thinking it through.

Ok this personal shopper service is annoying. On October 15th, I asked for a quote for Discovery Cove Orlando tickets for February 7th. On October 21st, they tell me that DC tickets are only available until the end of October at this time. and that I should contact them later time when tickets for Feb 2020 become available. ??? I can go on expedia dot com and buy them right now, so what gives? Could you imagine if you wanted a ticket for November...I'm sorry, you have to wait until the last second???

Has anyone successfully gotten Discovery Cove tickets through personal shopper???
