Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Donald - my hero]

I didn't get an ONYX offer (yet) but i did get this oddly specific offer last Thursday (that i had honesty forgotten about ) and i really doubt we'll use it! Almost got new grates for the BBQ but couldn't find any that will fit, also need a cover but i can get one cheaper thru Amazon, possibly Crappy Tire or Home Hardware

No special offers for me yet....

I like not having to track stuff. So have you got the new Dyson yet?

Gawd, I'm falling behind here! YES, i placed my order on July 9th, it shipped on July 14th and arrived at my door on July 15th so 6 days turn around, not bad! They used CanPar and even though it says i would need to sign for it on delivery, THIS is what shows on the delivery confirmation and NO this ain't my signature - luckily i was walking past the front door and heard the thud as it landed against the wall

You reminded me of my Disney stuff stored in our apartment storage room. It’s a great question to ask and hope to find some creative ways to use them.

I have a plastic bin with all my cruise/disney stuff like maps, daily planners for cruises, plastic cards, etc. I would like to do something better with it, some gets tucked into the photobooks I make for each trip.

I also have so many pressed pennies I'd like to be able to display. We love pressed pennies and have a tonne but they are all in my little safe just waiting to be put somewhere

I would get a large shadowbox frame and fit whatever you can in it, then hang it on the wall. That's what I did with various items from a 2015 trip to Europe/Mediterranean cruise. Pinned to the back of the frame, I have tickets to the tours/attractions we visited, a few pictures, our lanyards with our ship cards, some euros, on the bottom I have some coins, a little bear dressing like a Buckingham Palace Guard, a piece of the Berlin Wall and a miniature light up Eiffel Tower. I find it's nicer and easier to look at when it's all in one place and on display.

If you search "pressed penny display ideas" on Pinterest a lot of great ideas come up! There's a few ideas I've save for when/if I ever have enough pressed pennies.

 

[isabellea]

Included some in my photo albums (D ring albums) and I try to toss the rest.

I’ve seen people turn pressed pennies into jewelry. If your skin will tolerate the metal, it’s an option! If not, I bet it could make a cool garland-type decoration in a shadow box?

Last time I tried to do a garage clean out the whole family including my grand daughter helped out.....yeah what a mistake.
She is worst than my sons for OH Nana we have to save this and that!
I love her dearly but I have one big cedar chest of Princess dresses and accessories ,,another Big bin full of Lego sets ,,another Big bin full of old Disney Christmas lights & decorations which we no longer use.
One GIANT box of board games that no one ever uses,,but the top of the Box reads that I am not to get rid of them in red marker.
I swear it's my home ,,, but I have to sneak to the Goodwill to make donations.
I am gifting my sister with a Box of Snow White and the 7 dwarfs garden gnomes and telling her Dad wanted her to have them (little white lie),but at least they will still be in the family.
At the rate I'm going everything should be cleaned out and tidied up by the Fall.

We were cleaning out our garage last night and I found a box of my daughter's stuff that she must have shoved in there, in a bag, when cleaning her room one time. Anyways, it must have been there for a year and it was wet on the bottom, so mouldy in there. I put on masks and gloves and carefully picked through and was sad to have to throw out some of her disney stuff. Yeah, I know the autograph book with the characters' authentic signatures in it isn't a huge thrill, but I can still remember how the kids looked or how excited they were meeting them for the first time. So, yeah I get it. Hard to get rid of. I've got old cards too that I'm saving for when I get back into scrapbooking or something . One day...lol

Nice dyson Jacqueline. But no comment on the name. This house has dirty minds.

Etsy has some cute themed pressed penny albums.
My kids have quite the collection of pressed pennies, we just use the albums we got from WDW and Universal.

Looks like I will be giving up collecting Air Miles. I am extremely disappointed in AMEX's customer service. I have a Platinum Air Miles AMEX and I cannot get a refund of the current credit on my account because I have requested and received 2 cheques for credit balances in the past 6 months (due to 3 cancelled WDW trips and 2 Disney cruises). AMEX is now requiring me to get some documentation from WDW to confirm that the credit that was just processed (AP refund for the closure period) related to a prior purchase and that WDW needs to provide the details of the transactions. Otherwise, I can just use balance to make purchases but I used my AMEX at Rexall and Shell and since Rexall is no longer an AM partner and I am now working from home, there is no way I can use the balance up anytime soon - hence the refund request. I guess I will contact Disney to see if they can provide the requested information. Looks like I will be using my PC Mastercard for my purchases now and when I use my points towards groceries, setting that $$$ aside and use for our WDW tickets when we are able to return to WDW & DL.

Hi Hon
I mean come on AMEX people are having to cancel all sorts of things right now. I am so sorry you are having to go through this. I recently dumped my WestJet card,,,I need no more WestJet dollars right now and am going with PC Mastercard too.
I hope Disney is able to help you out.
