Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Arg!!! I figure they are upping do to black friday coming. I went from being able to order 3 sets to hit my $100 mark to just 2 now. Hopefully it doesnt go up anymore!

do you have prime? I'm pretty sure psych is available through prime tv

I meant to respond to you, @Donald - my hero , but I made a mistake and I don't know how to fix it!

My current problem with Amazon is that I put together a huge shop (over 200$). No books, so I think that most or all of my purchases will count for miles. But my order is split into 3 or 4 shipments, none of which is over 100$. I have no idea if my shop will qualify now!

Wait, what? Why won't the cards be e-mailed until December? I couldn't get the physical cards either but also had problems with the e-mailed ones.

I actually chose a December date. They are part of my girls' Christmas gifts. If it doesn't work, I'm going to be some upset! What sorts of problems did you have?

Nope, not a prime family (hate paying for the luxury of shopping!) I'll just keep watching for the price to drop again, we don't buy gifts for each other anymore -- since our anniversary & birthdays are so close together and come just before Christmas we tend to decide on one "big item" that does it all- tv one year, lazyboy love seat with cup holders another and more often than not, a get away, even if only a weekend (kinda going big this time!) I was hoping to get the DVDs and stick them in my carryon and just surprise him on the plane!

I've had the stupid "split order" happen with Amazon and most times it's been fine and posted perfectly. During Mega Miles it split my order and the miles were affected but all Airmiles wanted when i did a chat was the total of the order on my email confirmation and they fixed it up for me quickly. So long as you have that total shown in your email, Airmiles won't know, nor will they care, if your order comes in 1 package or 10, they only want the bottom line. You'll be fine!

That's sweet and I really hope the price drops! I love Dulé Hill.

Your advice really helps, but it actually means I'm not holding my breath. My email says "your purchase has been divided into 5 orders," which sounds like a bad sign. It's somehow not just about shipment, but auto divided into completely separate orders. Boo hiss to airmilesshops!

Thanks! I am planning to do a shop and worried about this split shipment thingy. At least now I am prepared if miles are not posted properly.

Alrighty! I dug thru my Amazon orders, emailed receipts, invoices and copies of chats with Airmiles and FINALLY found the order i was referring to -- YES it was split into 2 separate orders like you've mentioned and they did all ship separately and my invoice was weirdly split to show the discount i had spread over both. It didn't post properly BUT i mentioned that it was all charged to my credit card at once -- both *orders* were on the same email confirmation, how on earth would i place 2 orders and have only 1 email confirm both, and the AM chat agent had no problem adjusting my account. I think when i start providing more information than they think is possible to actually have access to they just say "uncle"

NOW -- this could affect your final StB posting but I wouldn't worry too much about it (that's because i went thru this and worried plenty enough for both of us already ) because you will be able to get it adjusted after the fact. SUCKS big time that you might need to chase it down, but I'll be here to help when that happens!!

Thank you so much for tracking down all your past info, Jacqueline! You're always a wealth of information, but sharing this really makes me feel grateful. I anticipate you're right, and I'll be fighting for StB rewards in a few months, but I'm a toughie. And thanks to you, I'll be armed for battle.

Yes, it should be fine. I placed an order with Amazon last week. My original confirmation e-mailed to me showed all the items and the grand total which was just over $100. Then I received e-mails saying my order had been split up and shipped separately. This has happened to me in the past and the times it does not post correctly, Air Miles fixes it.

Amazon pros, here’s a question..

I have in my wishlist a set of LUG packing cubes. The price has been dropping the last few weeks. Just checked it tonight and it shot back up by $20! How/why does the price fluctuate??

Is there a reason you are looking at LUG? Amazon has some well priced packing cubes and they are all pretty similar. Sometimes you just pay for a name and that's the only difference.
Having said that, all ours are HEYS. We have three different colors. One color for DH's clothes, one color for my clothes and a black set for dirty laundry to come home. We can always tell at a glance who's clothes are where.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I have a 5-piece LUG set already and they are awesome. What are the dimensions of the Heys ones? The LUG ones are pretty big compared to some of the cheaper sets I've seen.

OT....anyone have any good remedies for the possible beginning of a cold? I've got that odd little tingle in the back of my throat when you get a cold. I'm going to head over to Shoppers and buy everything I can find to cut this off.

OK time to head into the chats/Facebook messenger to track down those missing Christmas in July miles gang. I just did a chat, connected with Deborah and in less than 8 minutes had all my miles posted to my account. Super easy!
I just let her know EVERYTHING -- date & time of transaction, store, pre-tax/shipping and if the miles had posted or not and POOF got my extra 306 miles!

Not sure of the measurments however this is the set (in different colors) that I have. https://www.tsc.ca/Heys-8Piece-EcoT...productdetails?nav=R:560463&edp=12372935#tab0
Not trying to sell these, no commission for me lol, but just so anyone knows the TSC is in the Airmiles shops.

I just checked out the link and they are on sale for $55 for the 8 pieces, or $99 for the regular price, and all are sold out except one colour. Not sure if they restock them ever. The colours are great!

I got this when I signed into the AM site. It's an opt-in for BMO. But also says there's a 20x shop this weekend.
