They are usually out by now. Now that I have posted this there will be
one in my inbox momentarily. Donald usually posts them as soon as they're up.

I ordered my card (applied) first week of June. Received the care mid-month, went to the dentist, fulfilled the spend requirements and had the bonus points posted by the 24th of the month. That was incredibly fast but it shows you what is possible.

Thanks - good to know!

Some of us have been "selected" to have our targeted offers from Rexall as offers that we load to our card in the same fashion as the "My Offers" for Sobeys & Foodland. Most have to print out these offers as coupons to use at the cash.

That makes sense now. I tried to sign up for Rexall newsletters again, I'm still not getting anything from them even though my account is set to get any AM mail from sponsors (and I seem to get them from everyone else!).

Sent DH to the LCBO to stock up last night, will hit Rexall and Metro today… Then I have to stop shopping to save for our DL trip in February!

@bababear_50 That is a shocking lack of miles in that flyer. Do they typically have more in store that they don't post?

Hi Sailormoon2
Mel here
Of all the grocery stores located by me,,Metro is the closest one.
BUT the last 6-8 months their offerings on airmiles has diminished (at least for me).
I know Jacqueline shops Metro more than me and she can probably comment further.
I hope Sobeys or Foodland have more airmile deals this week.
Best wishes
Hugs Mel

Why am I feeling that I am going to have to struggle to get the last 700 airmiles I need?
Come Sobeys and Foodland please give us some deals.
Hugs Mel

Ok so just as a followup to my problem with the exchange certificate, I'm posting the solution that worked for me. Recap: I ordered an exchange certificate from Airmiles for the Canadian residents deal. I attempted to link it, but the site would not accept the code. I contacted a CM through chat and he told me to use the "add an older ticket" link and use the tiny codes printed next to the main code (mine started with wts). So I did that and it accepted the ticket (yay!) but then it wouldn't let me match it to my family member (arggh!). So I chatted with a CM this morning and was told to try internet explorer or chrome. I tried with IE and it worked immediately (yay!). So I'm all set . Thought I'd share in case others have the same problem.

Merry Christmas to everyone! Hope you all have a wonderful holiday.

I too have had difficulties. Thanks for the tip about the "add an older ticket"....however I have tried both Chrome and IE and I get to the part about linking the tickets and it just keeps asking who I want to assign the ticket to and when I select a person it asks me to confirm and when I do, it goes back to the who do you want to assign the tickets to. I tried the chat option and they were not helpful and they said I had to call to get the tickets added. Now on the phone waiting....hopefully it won't be the 30 + minutes they said at the beginning of the call.

Just wanted to post an update.....after approximately 30 minutes the CM was finally able to link my tickets to my account...he kept asking me for the last 4 digits of the credit card that purchased the tickets and when I explained I had redeemed Air Miles here in Canada to obtain the tickets he then said, so you didn't pay for them and I said well I sorta paid for them because I redeemed a considerable amount of air miles to obtain the tickets. He then put me on hold for 20 minutes and when he came back he said he was finally able to link the tickets. Not sure why there was a problem but just thought I'd let other know.

WHOA ... that's pitiful this week :O We noticed the last month or so that Metro has taken to following in Sobeys footsteps and some of the bonus offers are good for a month, you'll see things on the shelves that aren't in the flyers but are stupid small amounts ie last week we both laughed at the 1 AM (yup one measly single mile) for a 9.99 ham. Others are decent enough to warrant walking the rows. We have gone from collecting meager amounts (quick scan shows average of 15 per week) to the past 2 months showing totals closer to 200 again. No rhyme or reason it seems

I noticed that the Rexall flyer the last 2 weeks were pretty scarce as well but i will be hitting them up tomorrow to get the 110 bonus (thanks for the heads up Mel!!)

This week's Thrifty Foods is pathetic as well.

 

[Marbel]

it just keeps asking who I want to assign the ticket to and when I select a person it asks me to confirm and when I do, it goes back to the who do you want to assign the tickets to.

Same thing happened to me, but switching to IE worked for me. Glad you got it sorted out!

 

[hdrolfe]

Sobeys is looking sad. I don't recall seeing anything that great, perhaps because it's new years? The offerings lately haven't been that great anywhere really. I think Rexall is my new go to for airmiles!

 

[bababear_50]

Well Sobeys and Foodland don't have anything I need with airmiles so it looks like
Rexall today 12 pkgs of Royale toilet paper x $3.99= $47.88 plus some water=110 airmiles.
