Don't say that too loudly. That's usually when they increase prices.

3 day park to park.. before we hard to Disney .. I think 4 are 15,800 and one in my sons card ..

I think you guys are right like everything else once demand goes up #of miles will go up.. we will be vaccinated by then and I’m ok with quarantine ( tho I can’t see by then )so we may take the chance this week

@TammyLynn33 are they 3-day Park to Park for 2 parks or 3 parks?

 

[tinkerone]

Placed an order through AM Shops at Bed Bath and Beyond yesterday and the AM's for the purchase plus the Bonus Boom miles are already posted, dated yesterday as well.
Wow!
Meanwhile I'm still waiting on a purchase made through AM Shops from last Bonus Boom of which I have never received the extra Bonus Boom miles either. There's never rhyme or reason.

4- 3 day park to park for 2 parks.. ( dec is so unpredictable with weather .. if it’s warm enough they can swim at the hotel ) the last time we went on dev we froze at discovery cove .. ( and we are trying that again )

stopped in at Shell on my way home after getting a treatment to pick up treats for my hubby and daughter and was getting concerned that the miles hadn't posted yet. It all fell into the category of things we don't really need but I knew they'd like what I picked up and I carefully only bought stuff with miles. Spent just over 13 and snagged 12 miles, plus part of the Mastercard threshold. Posted this morning but still missing 10 for the Pepsi products, not fighting for those though

 

[ottawamom]

Shell has been really bad/slow posting these last few months. I haven't been willing to chance anything but gas there for a while now. You got your bonus boom at least so that's a good thing.

Those shell offers are good. I got my 5 bonus airmiles for gas but all the attached stores here are privately owned and not shell so I never get those..
I can’t stop laughing I did foodland shopping and metro and airmiles shops and I know they are all coming as well as my MC miles and I’m sitting here now 2 miles away ha ha

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Our attached store for Shell is a Sobeys Express so I get to use my Sobeys gift cards there to buy gas, which is nice. But, then I don't get any of those Shell in-store offers.

 

[ottawamom]

Shell is getting tricky. I just received an email saying there were offers I still had time to use. Fill up "once" and get 50AM. We did this offer on May 5th and received the AM. If I just went on what the email said I might be tempted to do it again but would I get the 50AM a second time. They don't seem to know I was already awarded the 50AM this month.

I got that email this morning as well. I think it's just a standard roll out email. I have also received my bonus 50AM about a week ago.

 

[ottawamom]

Some, who don't keep detailed records, might think they haven't done it and do it again thinking they are going to get 50AM. A little deceptive, buyer beware.

 

[bababear_50]

Guilty of not keeping good records here.
I always get those emails after I just shopped at Shell and I used to think I didn't do them but know better now.
Thanks for the heads up Ottawamom.

My old steam mops (2) both died, and I just got a new one using AM on Wednesday. I used it yesterday, and I am pleased.

I usually buy something for my grandson's summer birthday from AM, but the only 'events and attractions' is movie vouchers, and I'm not sure that that is what I want to give him.

I did, however, find a bread baking kit that would be great for DD for Christmas. It 'costs' almost double what I would pay in the store, but 1) I probably wouldn't buy it in the store at that price and 2) no cash outlay. Since I'm not really thinking about flights/tickets right now, I'm good to spend my points.

I still have all the cineplex vouchers I redeemed in late February 2020 for my daughter's birthday party. Her and her friends were going to see Mulan on what was supposed to be opening weekend. The theatres here closed the week before, opened briefly a few weeks later and have been closed for nearly a year. Fortunately they have no expiry date on them, I'm still holding out hope we can use them before she ages out of the kids pricing.

Just finished my Bonus Boom. Shell gas, BOM spend $250, AM Shops spend $80. That should net me 5 AM's for Shell, 100 AM for BMO, 40 AM's for AM Shops and 95 AM for Bonus Boom. So 240 bonus AM's for this round. Not to bad. Add to that the regular AM's I would get on those purchases and that's about another 30.

Most of my BMO was the purchase of a $210 Disney GC. I don't do a lot of shopping at AM food stores so this is the best way to get in the spend threshold for BMO. I don't love having Disney GC's but since we are paying for WDW and the cruise for three families it is going to be a ton of US $$'s so why not get some bonus AM's while I'm at it. Hopefully I don't get stuck with thousands in Disney cards, lol.

I am done mine -BMO Foodland and Shell and DS -airmilesshops foodland shell
His miles at airmiles shops staples already posted ..
None of mine posted bc I’m waiting for those 2 miles ha ha

Once again I am out of the loop, for the Bonus Boom it is possible to do more than one coupon for the same place, correct? For example, I could do all 3 Shell promotions and be done?
