Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ottawamom]

You saw the Metro redeem 95 Airmiles get 25? You could adjust your earnings for the Sobeys gift card selection and should earn enough Cash in time for that Metro coupon.

Is that a coupon in the booklet or online. I can't see it in my online selection. I will pick up the booklet tomorrow at Rexall when I do my shopping.

I just double checked....
It's there online for Ontario. Nice big print not hidden below the Kraft Dinner (I tried to add a wink here). And in the coupon booklet. It's date specific though (1-4 December).

Ok gang, I need some help here please! I'm currently in Toronto with plans to hit up a Rexall (or 2 maybe ) but only have my Kindle with me & I can't get the website to open.... could someone please tell me what offers are good there today? I obviously need to use my MasterCard, correct?? I'll pick up a coupon booklet when I'm there because it sounds like there is some overlap???? Thanks

That's ACTUALLY perfect! I hate not being able to plan out a trip, make a plan of attack, besides the cashiers in the one Rexall in the PATH loath the Airmiles coupons!!! Make it extremely difficult for me to use them.

I'll just see if I can make a 50 purchase or not. A comment to others who have been pushed to Rexall load and go .... that part of the website is a witch to access if you don't have the link saved mine all expired last night and it took me over an hour to find the new ones this morning

Shopping the Block is a bit of work and will require some keeping track to make sure AM recognizes all the coupons (they won't officially acknowledge them until next year so you'll have to hold onto stuff until then) but it sure can pay off. I used 5 shop the block coupons today. Have almost got another one from M/C and managed to get 826AM for all my trouble. It was mostly gift cards. I will use them to do my Christmas shopping/eating.

I used to joke about Happy Hunting when referring to my AM shopping trips but it is beginning to feel more like it. A bit of work but with huge payoffs. Thanks DilEmma for the great info to get me going.

For anyone in the Ottawa area there is a new Foodland in Winchester. (it just opened today)

 

[ttaylorcan]

My Foodland is small so didn't have either the cheese or the chicken promo, I've ordered in the chicken for Monday decided to pass on cheese. Did Rexall 100 am today and the 70 am at Sobeys for Netflix giftcard. Tomorrow I'll work on Shop the block.

I got the Keg gift cards, but does anyone know if the Cara card is the "Ultimate dining card" that includes East Side Marios and all the other restaurants. I Did not see any any just marked CARA, but would love to get a couple of the Ultimate dining cards.

And I just got rid of my BMO card. That is the easist one if anyone has one. Then after that I might be able to get 3-5 of the offers but cant see the 7. Good luck to all.

There is also a threshold of 3 offers -- get 285 AM
use 5 offers and get 950 AM

I agree this will take a bit of work to get the payout, lots of reading, mapping and tracking required. Can you clarify what you mean by "it was mostly gift cards" ? All of the coupons i looked at say gift cards are excluded?? I would LOVE it if i can figure out how to use that because santa always adds the Cara cards to stockings here

Yes it is the Ultimate Dining Card that is good at Swiss Chalet, Milestones, Harvey's Landing, Montana's, Kelsey's, East Side Marios, Bier Markt and Fionn MacCool's.

I wanted to say thank you to everyone for posting about the Rexall spend $50 get 100 AM and the gift card offer at Sobey's. I had a good Air Miles day...I earned 493 AM today and once these miles all post I will have enough Air Miles to get my second 7 day WDW ticket!!!!!

I also wanted to share something I learned at Sobey's today...my store did not have the $50 Kobo gift cards but did have $25 ones....the manager said that I could get 2 $25 cards and if the register did not award my 70 Air Miles, he would manually enter it....but it worked....the 2 $25 gift cards earned the 70 AM bonus...so I stocked up on Kobo gift cards for my family to give me for Christmas.

Does anyone know if I can do the Spend $50 get 100 airmiles shop at Rexall this weekend AND use the Shop the Block Coupon for Spend $50 on cosmetics or frangrance and get 100 airmiles in the same purchase? I want to grab some make up for stockings anyway. Getting 200 airmiles on a $50 spend would be awesome.

This is from the e-mail i received from Foodland so i think it's reasonable to assume the ones at Sobeys are the same (but you know the true meaning of assume )

Sorry. Most of my AM collected today were as a result of the GC purchases. I bought the cheese, meat and chicken, used the Foodland and Sobey's coupons for those.

Thank you! See this is why I have all of you fine people. So I don't have to read what is right in front of my face.
So I will just do the one Spend $50 get 100 offer tomorrow and concentrate on cosmetics on next weekends shop.

Shop the block question
My printer is out of ink.
Is there a coupon book with all of these at Rexall that I could pick up?
Thanks Hugs Mel

Yes there is!

For the gift cards: If you bought 2 $50 cards would you get 2 lots of 70 bonus airmiles? Or does it have to be put in 2 separate transactions?

Hi
Yes
When I have bought gift cards in the past for $50.00 and bought two of them I just did it in one transaction and received both sets of airmiles on my reciept.
If you are worried about this ask the cashier what they suggest.
