Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ElCray]

My Sobeys has $200 in gift cards get 100 miles. I still have some left over on this promo from two weeks ago.

I will wait until Wednesday (last day of offer) and buy $400 worth for 200 miles and then I only need another $100 towards my BMO $500/500 miles offer.

I love that I can use my Sobeys gift cards at both Lawton's (MM offer: spend $40/5x) and Shell.

You can use Sobeys giftcards at Lawton's and Shell? I didn't know that!

@ElCray Yup! For Shell, it might be because it is attached to a Sobeys Express store though. If yours doesn't have that, then maybe not.

I was just going through my "Air Miles Owing / Money Owed to Air Miles" documents and remembered I have to start paying myself back for $1,060 in miles I cashed out of my vacation fund! I know I have lots of time, but now I have another large amount of Cash miles I need to start redeeming.

I also have to pay myself back $385 in PC Optimum points cashed out. These points are strictly for WDW gift cards.

You never know when vacation will be calling!!

That's great. I'm advising my step-mom on Megamiles and she lives in NB so this is helpful for me to know to help her strategize. Thank you!

Ohhh, that gift card bonus is awesome for me - I have just about $750 in credit sitting on my Amex from a refund for a Come From Away performance that never happened. I've been debating what to do with it. Now I know I'm turning it into groceries! Does anyone know from previous offers, can I do 5 $150s in a single transaction, or do I need to do 5 separate ones?

A cashier at Foodland once told me it was better to do 1 GC per transaction for those type of offer.

Anyone having trouble logging onto Airmiles at the moment. I can log in on my phone but not on my computer. It keeps sending me to an error page.

12:56 working again now.

Hi all, just a note that there is a promo on for the BMO Air Miles Mastercard (no fee). The signup bonus is 1,150 Air Miles. The highest I'd seen before now was 1,000.

Like the IKEA commercial says "take the deal and start the car!" Sobey is good, those miles will post as is if they are on your receipt.

For those who had the issue of Staples double billing them how did that work out? I placed an order last week, which I received Monday and they still have not put the charge through. I have never had it take this long before. I have received the regular AM's for it but not the bonus which I'm sure may take a bit of time. Would just like to keep my credit card paid off so it would be nice if the charge was taken.

I just checked and they reversed the extra payment they took.
Regular Miles but no Bonus miles for me either.

I took @Donald - my hero advice and looked the orders up in my Staples account. Both orders in question say "Reorder" I can see the AM # the order was attached to but no coupon code or discount of $.01. I'm guessing they didn't know what it was for and didn't bother to add it.

Donald can you post a screen shot of your order (from your staples account) where it shows the coupon so we know where to look. To me Reorder means it's messed up. See if yours order says that too. I know my Airmileshops won't work because they cancelled the first (original) order.

I went to Sobeys and got my 5 gift cards, used up my Amex credit, and got 565AM! I was pleasantly surprised that it used both my spend offers - spend anything get 25AM on the first, and spend $125 get 40AM on the second! And now my groceries are paid for for a while

 

[ottawamom]

I was just coming to post that I had a similar experience. I did several orders of GC and each one generated another (different) loaded spend offer. 3 accounts GC plus the Mega Miles shop 970AM today. It almost feels like old times...

I didn't use the coupon because my order was only $44.98 pretax. Hubby needs a webcame for his new co-op student starting the beginning of September and Staples has been sold out of most of the basic for MONTHS now. All he needs is a very basic one to keep in touch with the student and Staples finally had one that costs $39.99 but only for instore pickup. I took FOREVER finding something that i needed in stock in the store that actually had the webcam to bring my total over the $40 mark so I could get my measly 3 miles (2 for the online transaction and 1 from Staples proper), i seriously tried for hours to come up with something to bring it up to the full amount (didn't remember until last night that i could get some new sewing scissors AND a cutting mat that my daughter has claimed ) Ended up finding some funky paperclip type things that I'm now using instead of pins for my mask sewing!

VERY long way of saying, sorry, i have no idea if/where the code should show on the Staples webpage

I got a Metro spend $125 get 125 AM, I think I'll be doing that instead of Sobeys gift card. I'd only be getting one and this gets me more AM. Either way I can use my BMO card and it goes towards that. We'll see. I may change my mind

 

[ottawamom]

@hdrolfe, Get the gift card. When I got my $150 GC this morning I got the 100AM for the GC and a threshold spend offer spend $150 get 75. When I saw this I broke my GC offers up to be individual orders and did one on DS card and another on DH card. I still had one threshold spend left (apparently they only apply one threshold spend at a time in Barrhaven) so I picked up another one.

Just got back from another Sobeys bonanza. Lol.

Got giftcards with the personalized spend offers appearing on the first ones I bought on both Air Miles cards I used. Then I bought some groceries and took advantage of the cereal, yogurt, and Crispy Minis offers.

Finished the BMO $500 spend on both credit cards. Finished another partner offer on my husband's card too.

Heads up that the signage at my Sobeys for the Blue Bonus cereal says buy 4, get 95 Air Miles. The flyer (which says you need to buy 6) may be a misprint!

We've got enough cereal now to last us til spring 2021.

I was able to do 3 gift cards of $250 each and I received 500 airmiles. I’m in Alberta and did this at Sobeys. I did this on 2 cards and it worked for both
