Airmiles Armchair Chatter

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.

For peace of mind I would just bite the bullet and do it,,,March is so busy and you are going to appreciate making those FP+.

Hugs
Mel

whoops just made major mistake. showed my wife that the dyson hair dryer is the same as a 5 day park pass. She has big thick greek hair and only NOW is she going to start taking my AM collecting serious. What have I done.

If you earn optimum points, it’s better to get it from there during big redemption events.

@mort1331, my SIL was able to get miles transferred from her DH's account for free. They didn't charge her one penny. It's definitely worth to ask if they will do it for no charge.

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

Didn't want to you to think I'm ignoring you .. just haven't gotten around to deciding who i should be bugging about this?! We just booked our airport shuttle and charged that to the AMEX and I sure hope that is considered "eligible transit" but not holding out any hope for that!

I'll see if i can find time in my day tomorrow to chase it down before everyone shutters for the year!

LOL...I've had a few days off of work and feel like I need to go back just so that I can stop running around. Since Christmas I've spent 1 day at home relaxing. I appreciate you taking this task on. I wouldn't have a clue who to call and would have to get DH do it anyway as he's the primary on the card. Having him call would get us no where.

Bought a new washer and dryer yesterday from Lowes. It was sort of a spur of the moment purchase. I did about 3 minutes research while I was standing in the store. Made my choice mainly from the advice of the store staff. So let's hope I made a good choice. I think between my Amex and the Lowes 5X miles I will earn 418 AM. I love Lowes.....they are delivering on Friday, setting it up and taking away my old ones for recycling. All being done for FREE! Also, I bought 2 yrs ext warranty which I never do but the salesman told me that I can have them come right before the warranty ends to give the machines a 'tune up' and they will give it the once over and change out belts (or something) AND it covers absolutely everything.

When should we typically see new WDW tickets on the website for 2020 travel? Current ones are only good until today. I'm hoping that they keep the 3-day tickets on there as that is all we will need for our Dec 2020.

If they go up, you might be better off just getting the 5 day Canadian ones. Unless you're planning to upgrade?

Hmm true. Even if we decide to do a couple of half days.

Woohoo excited to see the Cruise package booking on the AM site!! Don’t have a child yet but I like to search with a 5 year old to brace myself for how much this will cost in a few years when we plan to go to WDW or DCL Cruise again!

 

[Donald - my hero]

@dancin Disney style I just did a Facebook chat (prefer this because i can keep doing other things and I'll get a notifcation when they respond unlike their online chat that disconnects if you switch to another tab!) to try and track down those bonus miles that seem to be lost in transit (see what i did there ) and here's the results
First response had me guess i got connected to a by-the-book agent

I pointed out that this has nothing to do with the timeline and my miles are posting quickly, just not correctly. She was gone for a very long time (close to an hour!) so i guess she really did do some serious digging. Not surprised by the answer but like you, hubby's the main card holder so this will wait until next week, he's up to his ears in year-end book keeping!

Don't forget that you have until 11:59:59 EST to snag a copy of your 2019 statement! Try not to pout too much when you look at your Gold/ONYX status tomorrow morning, it will be sad!

Go to your transaction page and toggle to View statements from the last 12 months
Then hit Print this page and save it to a PDF (unless you want to hang onto a massive pile of paper - - mine is 20 pages long!)

 

[bbangel]

Thank you for the reminder, just went in and did that. Mine is only 11 pages lol. I also went ahead and ordered my Disneyland ticket. Have to wait on the Universal ticket until the expiry date is extended. Might have time to save up for the flight at least one way too!

 

[marcyleecorgan]

Thanks for the reminder I will have to get hubby to search for his summary in his email, so I don't have any good stats to compare with y'all.
But I did grab our 16-page statement LOL we made ONYX by a few hundred miles, whew!

from my receipts, it looks like only the shopping done by the 27th was calculated for AM. anybody have their accounts update after that?

They get expensive fast! We’re taking our last trip with “free” airfare in a couple months. I think we’ll get one more in with “free” admission to the parks before our kiddo turns 3.

Then the next jump is 9, when they graduate to disney adult. It’s an expensive family interest!! But such a fun one too.

Me too. We’ve been thinking about a Disney Alaska cruise for a few years but the price is too much (and we don’t even have to fly to get to it)! The option of doing half AM and half cash looks interesting.

YUP! I had a surprise posting yesterday .... our Metro takes FOREVER to submit their totals to AM and while the miles from this actual shopping trip haven't posted yet, this bonus for spending $150 was obviously posted from head office!

Oh, is that what that is for. I couldn't figure out why I had that when I don't shop at metro. The only time I spent $150 at Metro was when I purchased the gift cards. I'll have to remember that for the next time they have this sort of offer. Apparently gc's work.
