Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[hdrolfe]

I'm a little sad about the Sobeys deals for this week. They seem to have done away with the 25 and 50 AM meals!! There is a "get 20AM when you purchase a $100 Visa gift card", and a few other deals. Highest seems to be buy two Cat Chow ($5.99 each) and get 50 AM. Sadly my cats don't eat Cat Chow. It looks like they are really promoting their "everyday" prices, which to be honest do seem to be good prices. Metro looks about the same. Rexall has "3 days only! Get 100AM when you spend $80, 60AM for $60 or 40AM for $40"

I hope the meal deal thing isn't gone forever, I rely on those to boost my weekly total. In a way I'm glad it looks like a slow week as I am now living out of a bar fridge until my new one arrives. No stocking up on perishable items for me for a while.

Here's hoping that we will be bombarded with a plethora of bonus offers leading up to Christmas

I havent seen the flyer yet, but if this is the deal then it could be a good one. This is one of those "FREEMONEY" deals. And if there is no limits, I will be stocking up.
Here is my thoughts when these come up.
GULP never mind, cancel all thoughts. LOL . I thought it was 200 AM for $100GC. But for 20AM doesnt even cover the activation fee.
And back to the baseball game.

Thinking outside the box here.
Will local humane societies take Purina Cat Chow as a donation?
A little xmas present for our furry friends.

If it was 200AM I'd be more excited about it I am still hoping we'll get some good deals before Christmas though! I am about 250 AM from an adult ticket now. I have been slacking.

When I worked at a certain grocery store, we would donate the damaged or returned bags of food to our local SPCA and other private run animal rescues. I don't see why they wouldn't. They are always needing additional supplies.

Quick question. When you use the Rexall bonus coupons, how long in general does it take for them to post the AM's? I've got one that I did end of September that still hasn't been posted.

Rexall Airmiles generally post the following day (including bonus coupon offers). Exceptions would be the bonus redemption miles offers - like last week's 'earn 100 bonus Airmiles when you redeem 285 Airmiles for $30 in store'. Those Airmiles will take a while to post.

No, this was a spend $40 get 60 AM. Thing is, if I go thru the airmiles site, they're probably going to say I have to wait 120 days before I can file missing AM's.

Rexall usually posts within 24 hours for me (even on a Sunday morning once!) Was your Pre-Tax total $40? If not you won't get those miles.

This is not considered a "bonus offer" that you need to wait 120 days to report -- those are ones that come from "Head Office" or Airmiles directly and it will state clearly in the flyer if they won't appear immediately.

Did the 60 AM show up on your receipt? Did you have any other AM amounts on your receipt that did post to your account? IF they are on your receipt and you spent the correct amount you only need to wait 60 days to send in the report for missing miles. Hopefully they will appear soon for you, i just FINALLY had over 500 missing miles post from Metro with the phrase "adjustment" 10 days before i could report them missing.

I did have $40 pre-tax and no, they didn't show on the receipt. The girl at the checkout said that they don't show up on the receipt, but would be credited later. The 1 AM that I did get on the receipt has already posted to my account. OK, so I guess I'll file at the end of November if they don't show up. Thanks for the info.

I have a question for all the WDW ticket Air Miles gurus.....we do not have a WDW trip planned but hope to visit in 2017. Right now, I have enough AM to get two 5 day base tickets....should I get the two 5 day base tickets now and then add PH and possibly some extra days when we go (if we decide to stay for more than a week) or should I buy one 7 day base ticket and continue saving until I have enough for another 7 day? I have about 250 miles that will expire early next year. Thanks in advance

 

[ottawamom]

Since I have tapped out all our miles for my upcoming trip with the DD in 25 days

I don't know why I didn't clue in sooner. Looks like you're going to be in the World the same time I am (Nov 26-Dec 3). I hope we have great weather

I hope so as well. I keep looking to see the forecasted weather. Soon it will show up on the 14 day trend. I'm starting to get excited now!!!

I am more of a bird in the had kind of guy. If your not sure about if you would use the 7 days, then get the 2 5days. Just as they went down in price, they can shoot right back up without notice. Then you could be short a bunch more points.
The downside to the 5 days is if you wanted more days you have to add them there and you cant get advance FPs for those extra days.

The duck is quietly pouting here ... my weekly e-mail from Rexall included the dreaded words
Your handpicked Rexall offers are ready and now they're available
on AIR MILES® Load + Go. No more clipping coupons!
We received notice last week that we are one of the lucky guinea pigs for this wonderful new method of earning AM (notice the sarcasm font there ) and i was hoping i could avoid accepting this, Alas, no such luck. No longer will i be able to print out multiple coupons to use .. not even clear if i can use the Spend $30 get 50 AM more than once (which is this upcoming offer BTW) It also means i won't be able to share the coupon link for that so someone will have to get it me to include in the first post.
