Thanks guys, now I'm thinking about adding Cirque du Soleil to my April trip. We have a "no park" day so this would be a perfect addition. Do I want to use the AM though?

I edited my previous comment on that. You probably can't use AM because Cirque is assigned seating. It would be worth asking though if you have the miles.

Hi
I would make a personal shopper request just to see if they can fulfill the request and yes I would book it.

If you need to pay for tickets to Cirque try joining their club on their web page. They often give discounts on tickets to their shows. Worth the time to check it out. Since this is a new show not sure if it will apply but can't hurt to check.

I guess the Disney World CAD discounted tickets are gone from the website (land still available). Someone did a chat and they are not sure they will be bringing any back since the sale is over on Friday.

Just did some math and I'm even more annoyed with Rexall leaving Airmiles and creating their own programme than i was when i first learned about this.

In 2019 we earned an impressive 8584 miles and that represents about 37% of our entire earnings. Once you take into account that also gave us miles from AMEX it comes in at almost 50% of our miles!!!!!!!

We need to completely reevaluate our shopping patterns and consider switching up our credit cards as well. I'm going to need help with the whole WestJet Mastercard thing but it looks like it might be a worthwhile choice. Anyone willing to help the Duck figure this out or should I start a new thread??

I'd be interested in a new thread, just to keep things in one spot. I would love some information on that CC as well. Not that I need another one. It would just keep the information clean, if you know what I mean.

well make sure you head over to the PCpoints thread and get info there. Great program that can get worked and get min 4% back and as much as 30-40% back on your money.

I know it works for a lot of you but we just don't shop at any of the PC stores enough to see the benefits. We just don't find the products we need anywhere other than Metro or Longos

Hi Mel here
I have tried using the search function but can't locate the thread I am looking for.
You mentioned that you were able to get Mickey Very Merry Christmas tickets from Airmiles personal shopper and I was wonder how many airmiles it cost you?
Thanks
Hugs
Mel

***Also does anyone know if personal shopper can get Cirque du Soleil tickets?

My tickets were for MNSSHP and it was 1 adult and 1 child for Aug 30 - 2500 Airmiles. Hope that helps! It was very worth it for us.

As @mort1331 points out overHERE I decided to start my own thread about the WestJet mastercard

 

[Debbie]

Done. Great idea. I emailed them at Rexall Corporate "contact us" rather than the website providing the new program.

Thanks for the link! All done!

For those who spreadsheet Air Miles — what headings do you find useful? What with the mess with the Shop the Block bonus miles, I am starting a spreadsheet to track those pesky AMs. Just what I need, a hobby.

I strongly suspect I’m in exactly the same boat. I am going to try to pick up as many AMs as possible from Rexall while they are still offer AMs, then it’s good-bye to them and back to PC points. There’s a Shoppers about two blocks from me, so it’s an easy shop for me.

I only shop at Rexall during big promotions so I will only miss them then. I save up and buy my vitamins then so I guess I will have to figure out where to buy them now.

Hey Gang I did ok this weekend as we were in Ottawa so I hit Sobeys spent $130 and got 302, our hotel was thru travel hub and the am was 290, and I got Rexall today $59 for 102 I think it was.
Almost had more went to Shell had my 5cents off and normally pay at the pump but I knew I had to pay in store so filled rental car up and NO purse . Omg totally honest mistake but I felt like I was going to jail.. ha ha left my phone with him and ran home grabbed wallet paid but couldn’t use airmiles or coupon but was relieved to not be in jail ha ha
Hope everyone had a great weekend .

Same. I find Rexall terribly overpriced. I did a shop there yesterday, spend $50 or more and get 100 airmiles. I spent just over $60, got my 100 + 3 more + 10 more because I bought bandaids. And I used my RBC rewards + card, loaded an offer the day before that gets me 2x the rewards and 4% cash back as a statement credit. So yeah, I'll miss things like that ;-)

@Gigi22 ,

Here's a sample of my spreadsheet from this year.
