Took advantage of Lowe's disappearing from AM in a couple days, and bought a washer yesterday because mine decided to crap out, and received my 39 AM this morning. Bye Lowe's, I'm sad to see you go

Never shopped at lowes for the AM...just the better selection. And still will. 39am for a washer...4$ back in points.

for me, lowe’s leaving mostly makes big events more challenging.

between lowe’s and rexall, it’s going to be extra tough to reach the top level for shop the block and such.

Well, with all of the new travel restrictions announced today, I've finally admitted to myself that travel won't happen for a long time. Vaccinations will take forever. etc etc etc. Therefore, I am starting to cash out my Cash miles to get my house in order. I need new furniture in my living room and rec room badly. Once we can travel, every last flipping air mile is going to travel again.

Rant over.

I switched my AM back to Cash this morning. I cash them out when I shop at Metro (I have GC to use at Sobeys) and put the funds into my travel savings. I feel better having the funds under my control than sitting with AM for a few years. Who knows what they are going to do in the near future.

If Sobeys is having their gift card promo on, can I buy the gift cards with cash miles??

 

[cari12]

Got the early opt in for the BMO Bonus Boom offer. $250 spend at partners for 50 AM. Feb 4 to 17.

 

[marchingstar]

i’m going to keep collecting dream on my account...i would feel better with all my AM in cash, but at this point, i have a decent stockpile. it feels silly to split them. so i’ll let the dream miles build up and put them allllll towards a nice trip sometime in the indeterminate future.

pre-covid, the plan was to use them for a family cruise. now, i’m not so sure. maybe a disney hotel, maybe an all-inclusive...

it feels a bit risky...for all we know, points will be really devalued or all kinds of restrictions...but either way it feels like taking a gamble.

I love Lowe's, they seem to have a better selection and friendlier staff than Rona or Home Depot. But if I need to buy a washer, I'll do it now rather than wait next week when it warms up. AM were just a bonus.

Technically no. I've had luck putting on down on the belt with my order (at Metro) and then paying for the whole order with AM Cash. It really depends on your store and the cashier in question.

I got the Shell offer of 1 AM for every $1 spent up to 100. So just put $100 gas in the car (SUV) so that’ll be a nice 100 AM.

 

[cari12]

I will keep my miles as dream. Eventually we’ll get to take the DL/San Francisco trip cancelled last March due to COVID and may be able to use the miles for hotels and/or car rental. We also have always wanted to do an Alaska cruise so since I believe you can use miles on redtag, can save for that as well.

Does anyone know what happens when you don't opt-in to a Shell offer in time for what the ad says, but the website let's you opt in anyway?

I just realized I had an ad for 1AM per $1, opt in by January 24th, purchase between Jan 27-Feb 17. When I opted in tonight it said "Done! You’ve successfully loaded this offer to your AIR MILES® Card."

I suppose it's possible I opted in before now and just forget as the ad came out on the 21st as there's a ton going on... But if not, do you think it will still work?

Just thinking of some others enjoying some hot pancakes , waffles and muffins makes me happy.

@ElCray I wouldn't count on it working. Just because they haven't shut down the opt in button doesn't mean they don't have a tracker on the date you opted in. I have opted in for multiple offers from Shell at the same time and sometimes they work sometimes they don't. I don't bother to follow up because it's not usually for too many miles and not worth the effort.

For those who use Samsung pay, its doubled to 50am/wk until the end of the year.

Woo! Got 333 AM for $150 at Safeway, those Nature Valley granola bars have been very helpful AM earners this year LOL
