Airmiles Armchair Chatter

I'm kinda scared to see how many miles I earned this month on my BMO MC World Elite card...so much spending action and then returns, rinse and repeat.

I just can't wait until January kicks in and I go into a spending hiatus for a while.

I earned 1100 on my December statement. . But we had renos, which the supplies went on the MC, and my daughter's 2nd tuition installment. We will be on a spending hiatus as well!

This is me ,, just reviewing my Budget for next year 2020 and making some decisions,,
I cancelled out all but two credit cards,,,,still not sure which one I want to keep or get rid of.
Making TFSA a priority this year!
Holding off painting and re carpeting two bedrooms till next summer.
My townhome Condominium maintenance fee is going up 48% over the next 3 years!!!,,,This was a unforseen budget buster.
2020 will be a challenge but I am up for it..

Well...I was hoping for a Blue Friday this week...sadly, that is not the case. I need around 300 AM to get to onyx for this year...and I just don't think I will be able to hit that with the partners here I'm still waiting for some AM to post from last week at Safeway...but it is still not enough to get me over the threshold. OH well...I'll be able to focus on collecting again all year and I will make it to Onyx again next year I do better with the optimum program...but I was really hoping to be able to hold onto my onyx status. OH well...I'll just keep plugging away at collecting

I was pleasantly surprised at my mastercard balance ( I bravely logged in today to check the damage). I put a large chunk of money on it just days before my statement was going to close, so that obviously helped as I didn't accrue any interest. I still have a nice sum I need to pay off, but it can be done over the next two months. I'll take it as a win! LOL

Wow! 48%! That's insane! You are up for anything, Mel!

I'm curious as to why she quoted you 90 days when the timeline for online shopping is 60 for base and 75 for bonus - direct from the website:

View attachment 460808

She said that certain promos have different timelines, including the Black Friday one... Maybe she was wrong.

I got her to look at the Halloween one by saying it was 60 days for the base miles and the base miles hadn't posted.

OT, Hoping someone on here remembers, because I sure cant.
Picking up 3 adult 5day passes with AM, just submitted for 2 now. Need a few more points for last one. If I link one of my other tickets, so I can book FP. When I have my 3rd, can I switch out the tickets, and not loose my FP. The ticket that would be the place holder is a non expire, so dont really want to use it if I dont have to. I will have the points in time before I travel and time for AM to get it to us.
Hope that is sorta clear.
Thanks

I wouldn’t risk adding a non expire ticket that you do not intending to use to MDE. You can’t remove it once it’s there and then you have to have a CM prioritize the ticket you will actually be using....then cross your fingers that they have done it right.

I know you can add phantom people to your friend/family list and then transfer that ticket to them later but I’m not 100% up on how to go about that. IMO, tickets are too valuable to mess around with that way but people do it.

 

[AngelDisney]

I was able to switch the tickets in 2017, but I am not sure about now as MDE has many changes and updates since then. Maybe you should try to ask your questions in the Theme Park forums.

Uggh so I bought the kid a MacBook through airmiles shops and staples same thing it shows up yesterday as 1/40 not1/20 I call and they tell me I never shipped through airmiles shops all year ?? Wth
Anyways she says she will take my word for it and adds complimentary miles to equal the difference and 25 extra for any inconvenience
My head hurts every time I shop staples

Had the same thing happen with the iPad I ordered for my son. Only got miles for 1:$40. I haven’t called, not sure it’s worth it. I made 4 purchases on AirMiles shops over $100 this STB season and not one has posted correctly!

Hi Cari & TammyLynn
I think I am definitely out for using the Airmiles shop online,,just too many problems with it.
I've given it a try a few times and either the order splits or improper airmiles post.
I haven't found Airmiles Chat helpful at all,,, but I know people that use Facebook get half decent results when making inquiries.
Best wishes to you
Hugs

I'm jealous.....I can't pay my DD's tuition with my CC. Her school only allows bank transfer. I got my AM Mastercard when my oldest started post secondary because they took Visa/MC. This time around I'm paying twice as much (sometimes more) and can't earn a single AM on it

@Donald - my hero did you investigate the Amex--Presto thing? I just paid my bill this morning and reaslized that I forgot all about that.

On the upside of AM....I just did a chat to get some missing miles from an online purchase from that mountain climber game thing. I was only due 15 miles and somehow Linda gave me 70

Did anyone get their miles for that thing? I just went back and checked, and we did three orders with a 5x, and the 5x did not ever show up.

I didn't even get the base miles for our mountain of miles purchase from Indigo, I went on Facebook to get them credited. Last 3 AirMiles shops have not posted.

 

[damo]

I had lots of problems with Chrome and the airmilesshops. I started using Safari for those purchases and they have posted fine.

Wow, you'd think with the Chrome extension it would be working better now -- i like that i can make sure that I've at least remembered to log in first. Doesn't surprise me in the least though they SUCK at this portion of the programme!

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I had to chase after my Mountain of Miles offer as well. Nike never did correct my miles earned once I returned half the order, so I got 7x the miles on $320 versus $160!

Would you like a little wind in your hair, Melanie?
Well, good news! You can now use Miles, your credit card or both to book cruises. Better still, you’ll get Miles on your total eligible booking before taxes and fees.

Get top deals from cruiselines such as:

ok so I am 710am short for my last ticket for march break. With 60days fast approaching, I know they are coming with the |STB, but not in time. Do I bite the bullet and transfer from 2nd acount which will cost me 105 plus hst. I think so small price to pay for 5 day ticket and know its on time.
