Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Sobeys posting cycle is Sunday to Saturday. AM will post on the Wednesday/Thursday (4/5 days after Saturday). If you shopped on Sunday you would be waiting until 10 days after shopping for them to post.

It's normal for the 95 Cash miles to come out of your account immediately. The bonus of 25AM will take 4-8 weeks to post. They are slow but those miles do come through and it's an easy one to prove if needed.

Thank you. That makes sense. And I need to be a little more patient.

Now maybe this is just me but I think the ratios (Buy 5 or buy 6 etc) have gone up past what I am willing to pay for a product.

I think so too. How many people need 6 boxes of cereal or 3 huge packages of bologna?

Yep, not too excited about this one as the quantities are high on things.

 

[ottawamom]

I agree. When I first reviewed the flyers last night I didn't see much worth making the trip for. I went through the Sobeys flyer again and I might be able to get 200AM on items I use in regularly.

Are grocery stores open on the 1st? (Ontario)

No, not just you. I don't have the pantry space I once had, so stockpiling isn't happening much, and I am tired of things going to waste. Bottom line....rarely are those multiple buys worth it for me. Typically, I see the tag, I stand, calculate, and move along. (one of the reasons PC Points has become my goto these days.

If the stores aren't open why didn't they just date the flyers for July 2-7. My mind can't handle the confusion these days.

they're allowed to be open in what's designated as tourist areas. Some areas have passed bylaws that allow certain businesses to be open on all stat holidays, in Toronto several malls are even open! I know most small towns and cities in the traditional cottage country have at least one of each grocery chain open

I think because some stores like my store in cottage country are open so they just used the normal Thursday to Wednesday dates.
Edited to add notes about my store.
Oh and we went up to the cottage yesterday for the first time and stopped off at our local Foodland and boy it looks great. They did a remodel and had a reopening just last week. My sister and I were like tourists in the store (but trying to not look like tourists). Store looks so nice now and more streamlined.

I'd like to suggest that everyone who attempted the current promo, which ends today BTW, makes a post on the Bonus Boom/Bust thread detailing what offers you completed so that when it comes time to chase it down you'll be able to find the info in a hurry

 

[mort1331]

Also all of york region is allowed to be open every day but Christmas. Not sure why they singled that out. Multicultural that York is?

 

[Donald - my hero]

I'm having a decent week with miles finally posting! Had to chase down my Mix & Match online promo and that took maybe 5 minutes, BOOM got 378 miles. I had a few more days before I'd be able to chase some miles from a targeted BMO offer and they just posted now, had a ton of those Samsung Pay offers post AND the Onyx multipliers for my online shopping as well! Account's looking good now, we've earned over 7,000 miles since January, colour me impressed

Ok I need to whine for one minute . And don’t want to on the regular boards.. I lost my job today.
I put the boys into summer daycamp so I can work and the family I work for feel I’m too high risk. There’s three active cases here now so I guess better knowing now than September. .. it’s just so ironic ..

I am so sorry to hear that. Everyone is skittish these days. I think you are in my area (I could be wrong) and the case number is so low, as you mentioned. Maybe the family will have a second thought and back down.
Hugs to you.

Ah, I'm so sorry that that is happening to you. Perhaps if the numbers stay low, and the vaccination rates continue to climb they might change their mind. ((hugs))

With cancelling all my hotel bookings, I suddenly have so many airmiles back... guess I can plan something?

Did you have any issue cancelling and getting your airmiles back? I typically use Expedia for hotels, but with a cruise which may or may not go, and my AM being somewhat high, I might consider using AM for hotels early next year.

I had made sure to book rooms that were able to be cancelled, the AM were back within minutes, the credit card portion took a bit longer but was still pretty quick for a refund.
