Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[momof2gr8kids]

FYI I was chatting to my Shell guy and he said that he's expecting the 10x miles for in-store purchases promotion to be back around the beginning of March (he was estimating the 6th). Planning to stock up on some gift cards when that promo's back!

Also, vistaprint.ca is having a sale right now where you can kids' tshirts printed for $9. I figure I couldn't make any myself for much less than $7 (assuming I didn't screw up and have to do everything twice). Plus they're 5x AM right now through airmileshops.ca, so I'm getting a few of my trip tshirts printed right now. Figure I'll save money and get miles.

I noted on the AM site there's a 10X points at Shell offer when you purchase at least 25L of the Shell V-Power fuel. Do you know if you get the promo on the in store as well (gift cards), as long as you have the min. fuel purchase?

No, unfortunately that 10x points is only on that fuel purchase. I'm waiting for the 10x points on in-store purchases! So close to my Universal ticket!!

 

[momof2gr8kids]

Let us know when you see the in store promo! I'm close to getting another ticket and want to get it soon in case they increase the am required.

I've had the same problems with AM promos at A&P. I also heard this week that Toys R Us and Michaels have dropped Air Miles altogether.

I never got many AM with them but they were my final supplier of airmiles needed to qualify for Gold status. There are plenty of others out there. I'll go get some pencils at Staples.

Did AM increase?
I've been waiting to buy Universal Passes and would have had enough after my Sobey's points from last weekend and now the child pass is 2050 and the adult is 2425 ??

You're lucky you got the extra AM. I find Rexall is hit or miss when it comes to them added the item specific AM when you use a bonus coupon. I was in earlier this week with one from a cash receipt spend $30 get 50 AM. I got the 50 but one of the items I purchased should have had 15AM as well. They didn't show up on the receipt or in my account. I'm not going back to the store over 15AM.

If you shop on a Friday at Rexall you will receive a coupon at the bottom of your receipt for 50AM when you spend $30 (good Mon-Thu the following week).

I always look at the Rexall receipt before i leave the store after a few times of getting burned by not getting an advertised sale price. I also love that your total AM balance shows up at the bottom .. instant gratification

Argh, it does look like it's increased! I'm only about 2 weeks away for my last child's ticket! Luckily that one only seems to have gone up a few miles, but those Sobeys points better post soon so I can put my order in!

Disneyland tickets went up 200 AM from a couple of weeks ago.

Rexall this weekend (Fri-Sun) spend $50 get 110AM. Time to shop for Easter chocolate.

Everyone needs to check the "HUB" on the main Airmiles site right now ....here's lazy me cutting & pasting info

*AIR MILES Bonus : To qualify for the additional 100 Bonus Miles offer, Collectors must earn Bonus reward miles through three or more of the “Offer Hub” Bonus offers in connection with purchases made at participating AIR&MILES Partners between March 10 and March 30, 2016. Limit of one offer per AIR&MILES Collector Number. No coupon required. Transactions will be tracked automatically. Bonus Miles may take up to 120 days to be awarded.​

The offers seem to differ between provinces but easy way to get 100 if you are planning on using any of them.

I am so all over this. I actually shopped at Rexall this morning (1) down, gas at shell, and Rexall middle of the week I'm good to go.

So you have to use 3 of those coupons? Can you use the same one 3 times, I wonder? The Rexall one seems to be the only one that I would use.

Went to Sobeys today and took advantage of the spend $100 get 100 AM per transaction coupon. I split my order up into 2 and received 246 AM with the 2 coupons and bonus miles.

Way to go!

Was that Sobey's in Ontario or elsewhere in the country? I don't remember seeing that in the Ontario flyer.

I was just going to ask that.

 

[ottawamom]

Just looked it up in an online flyer. Looks like it was Sobey's (west). We had the gift cards last week in Ontario. Looks like Sobey's Altantic has an offer as well.

Spend $100 in a single transaction get 100 AM

 

[pigletto]

So this weekend I will do the Rexall offer and get 100 airmiles for $50. Then I'll head to Sobey's and I have to spend about $30 to get another 90 airmiles on various bonus products. I was getting personal spend offers from Sobeys that were pretty good for awhile. The last two weeks it's been "Spend $75 get 30" which isn't worth it for me to shop there where the prices are so much higher. So I'll do the bulk of my shopping at NoFrills this week and hopefully by spending less I start getting better personal offers again.

Was wondering the same thing. We don't have a lot of the places listed, would probably only be able to get the bonus from two places.

I reread it last night and it looks like they will put up new coupons each week.
