Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Donald - my hero]

here's a few pictures of the rest of my family so you can see that we did in fact ALL wear masks. I've added more details to the Christmas thread but pictures are only in here, with my DISfamily

My family is happily enjoying the new Nintendo Switch that Santa brought...

I have to share what my sister made / gave me for Christmas. She made me a knitted Bob Ross doll. He was an artist who used to be on PBS and could crank out a picture in about 1/2hour and added a little tree here to make this picture perfect. I also got a gift card from Michaels in the door.
The door frame is a little fairy door from a place called Practical Art. They are online but also operate a booth at the St Jacobs farmers market in Ontario.
Isn't my sister talented?

Time for one more kick at the online shopping as we toss 2020 into the dumpster to light it on fire!
Lots of the stores have their own multipliers as well so you might be able to get some decent miles while you shop for the things you wanted to get!
Check for codes to save money as well, for example, The Bay has 5X the miles and if you enter the code EXTRA when you check out you'll get an extra 10% off any clearance items.

Oh I LOVE it! This is so creative and it has totally inspired me for my Chipmunk Instagram page, thanks for posting!

This is what I posted on Christmas day, I am having so much fun with this Instagram account.

I think I can work with the Bob Ross idea in the spring...

You have a chipmunk? A real chipmunk? I want a chipmunk! Lol. I love chipmunks, I used to make traps and catch them when I was a child. You know, rope on stick, stick under box, then pull. I was never allowed to keep them though. My family nick named me chipmunk and I still hold that name with some family to this day. We have one that lives under our front step that I feed all summer.
Okay, enough with my obsession with chipmunks. That is very cool.

He lives in our backyard. The kids have trained him to run up and down their arms and legs and he LOVES to sit on my son's head and shoulders.

There is a whole Chipmunk/Squirrel community on Instagram and many people in Japan keep them as pets like we keep hamsters

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

We have a few little families of chipmunks around our yard. Our cats literally lose their minds when the whole gaggle of them scurry across our deck, which is ground level, and venture right in front of our patio doors. The babies are the cutest!

Thanks for the reminder about this offer. I was wondering what I was going to do for AM this week. Not much in any of the flyers. Those items I can always use.

I did this offer one more time yesterday. We needed milk anyways so I bought 2 milk and 3 granola bars. I think I managed to do this offer 4 times while it was on.

I ordered a new duvet cover set for my daughter yesterday from Bed Bath & Beyond. They had 5x and AMS had the 10x AirMiles and I got 20% off for signing up for their emails. 120 AM already posted today!

 

[tinkerone]

My AM's from Metro, the 'use 85 AM's get 50 AM's' just posted. That's 150 AM's to start building up my balance again. I really need it, lol.

Thanks, mine posted, too. Every little bit helps! Fingers crossed that your balance will grow faster than you think.

 

[ottawamom]

Mine did too, nice little bonus at the end of the year.

 

[dancin Disney style]

With tomorrow being the last day of the year....where does everyone stand with their AM totals?

I'm within 150 of my total for last year. I don't think there is anything more to post so not bad. I was probably helped out by the fact that my debit card tap feature stopped working back in March and I didn't go to the bank to fix it until maybe June (and even after that it still didn't work) so I've used my CC for literally every single purchase I've made since then. DD's account is short approx 2000 which is mainly due to the big promos being not as easy as previous years.

 

[ottawamom]

I'm down about 10,000 AM from what I was able to collect in 2019 but I'm happy with my total considering...

Like you @dancin Disney style , I have been putting everything on my CC since the start of all this. I figured I would squeeze out every AM I could.

Just a reminder to those who like to keep track tomorrow is the day to save your "transactions" on Airmiles for the year to a PDF.

 

[mort1331]

I am down 000's , but I have not been trying this year. Not even close to getting Onyx. But I think they are carrying over this year?
I have been getting more and more pcpoints. As I have said, lack of AM, both how to collect and where to redeem, and huge increase redemption, just for me at least. Fading fast.

 

[bababear_50]

I am down about 16,375 airmiles ... however lets see how responsive the Office of Loyalty president is today.
Sometimes I wished I did Facebook or use Twitter then I wouldn't have to wait so long.

I call my case
