You have inspired me to go back and pick up a few other things. I had my DS shopping with me so I went through the store quickly but I will go back and walk the aisles and get some more (non perishable) stuff. Still waiting for my fridge to arrive. Living out of a bar fridge sucks.

Random question...if I "buy" the Universal 2-day ticket with air miles now, will it still b good to use in 2018? Or is there an expert ion date? Sorry if this is in the wrong thread.

And there shall be dancing in the streets! I just received a coupon from Rexall that i can PRINT out and use more than once!! I made 2 purchases using my "load and go" offers last week and neither posted yet, once it *might* have shown up on the receipt the other? Who knows??

Here's the link
Spend $40.00 get 60 AM valid Nov 14 - 17

 

[Mollygirl21]

150 AM were added to my account last night from the Airmiles Shops...must be from the promotion iN AUG/SEPT when you shopped at 3 AM shops...hopefully the other miles from the Prize Pool promo will come this week! I'm 300 from my final 5 day park pass

 

[Pumpkin1172]

I wish we had a Rexall near us. And when we do hit the big city...I don't have the time to pick up things there.
I also wish we could buy gift cards and get airmiles. I would be all over that!

I did a Safeway shop ( I'm western Canada ) and I did 163 airmiles this week...which was good. Their airmiles have sucked here too. But this week. with the items that were on sale and airmiles, I shopped there. We have the spend 95 dollars get 95 Airmiles...then the other score I got was the International coffee creamers...we buy 2 get 20 miles. We did already have one extra in the fridge, but for 20 airmiles, I'll take another 2 lol. I usually only shop Safeway if there items are on sale, otherwise I find their prices higher than No frills, which is just up the road, not even 2 km's away.
The daughter did laugh at me asking why we have much coffee creamer, she laughed at me for buying them because of airmiles.

My son used to ask why alot. That is until he saw how much Airmiles could save him on his flights out west to go skiing this year. Now he sees the light and regularly adds his one or two Aimiles from the LCBO (liquor store) to my account.

 

[Sailormoon2]

Apologies if I am writing this in the wrong thread but are the regular Air Mile WDW tickets "bridge able" to an Annual Pass. Thanks

Not the wrong thread at all! If you're asking about tickets that you already have received from Airmiles -- the actual hard credit-card size tickets, then yes, you can upgrade them at the gate, add days, or hoppers or to an annual pass.

If you're asking about the new exchange certificate things they are now sending out, no one has actually tried to upgrade them. I've posted this question in several places, sent an e-mail, done on-line chatting AND even called ... the answer i get is either dead-air space or the basic "try at the guest services"

I think the heads up we got about the Gift Card offers at Rexall were due to a glitch in the saveland site that had the next month's worth for a couple of hours. I have it written down saying those offers are in the flyer starting Friday.

The fine print about gift cards has always been there ... you can't use those to get up to the threshold required for the bonus. So if you want to toss some into your sale, you need to have other items to reach the $40.00 mark.

Thanks for the clarification Hon,,
I just found out a co worker is going on early mat leave so I have to pick up some diapers and wipes. I am sure I can reach the required min now.
Thanks for taking the time to post.

I was asking about these

 

[Donald - my hero]

Perfect! Just go to any guest services and let them know what you want to do and they'll help you out. Before you go make sure you know what you should be paying to do that BTW. The ticket you have .. take the current gate price for the same ticket and subtract that from the current gate price of the Annual Pass, if they quote you a different price ask why (or go to a different guest services!) Some will say you need to activate the ticket by entering a park once before you can upgrade, not true, you could even do it at let's say, Disney Springs the night before you hit your first park.

Have a blast, I wish i could convince hubby to upgrade one of our 5 day tickets to an AP so we could have the dining & store discounts -- he always says "We can't afford to save that much"

 

[bababear_50]

Costa Tea was
But I did get 10 airmiles.
Jiffy Lube oil change, I got 24 airmiles.
I got all the way to Rexall and forgot my phone so I have to go back tonight.

[Sailormoon2]

@Donald - my hero Thanks for the advice!! I'm so excited to do this. I was able to convince DH that we CAN afford to save that much. Lol.

Nice! I have to wait out the 120 days (January) as one of my purchases still hasn't shown up yet, UGH!

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I will have a good Sobeys run this weekend!

I have a voucher for 100 miles / spend $150; 70 miles / buy a $50 gift card to various vendors; 50 miles / spend $20 on General Mills products; plus my targeted Sobeys offers through the mailer. I should have at least 284 miles Oh, happy day!

 

[Shad0w]

Apologies in advance if I posted this in the wrong place. If so, please direct me at to where I should be posting this.

The impending expiry of a large portion of my air miles started me on a quest to figure out how best to redeem them...which eventually led me here.

I have enough air miles to purchase 4 of the WDW 7-day Magic Your Way Base Tickets that are currently 25% off on the air miles site.
Before I pull the trigger I have a few things that I am hoping to get clarified...

- Are these tickets eligible to be added to your My Disney Experience App and utilize the Fast Pass system?
- Are these tickets eligible to be upgraded to Park Hopper or Water Park passes prior to attending WDW? (and possibly get 25% off the upgrade?)
- Are these tickets the same as what some people have posted as getting from CAA? (the green Canadian Exchange certificates)

Thanks in advance!
