Just a flag for anyone chasing Shell Go+. There is 2 cents off a liter and 5 cents off a litre for V-Power fuel when you use your Air Miles Mastercard. Sign up at bmo.com/fuel.

I really like this one, thanks. Shell here is usually a cent or two above our corner station so it annoys DH when I purchase gas there. I only now purchase it when there is an incentive to do so and this is going to help. Love that it is good til the end of Feb.
Again, thanks.

Thanks for the heads up on this!! I don’t drive much these days - but I’m sure I can save a couple bucks.

In the world of no great AM deals I just happened upon this. I was getting Dempsters english muffins anyway at Metro and I noticed the sign for buy 3 get 30AM. They were $2each package so that was as good a scoop as I've had on anything recently.

update on my appliance question:

i emailed the personal shopper service with a request for a stove that retails for 4495 to get a sense of pricing.

i heard back very quickly, both to confirm the item and with the quote. i was quoted 44,850.

so i think that works out to just under 10 cents per mile? which seems close to normal value?

i’m not going to order it right now (not enough miles! not ready for the new kitchen yet either), but it does give me a good idea of what to expect. and maybe it’ll be useful to someone else here

That's great news, super happy to hear that they're sticking pretty close to the cash value of miles for big-ticket items. Makes me wonder though, what on earth are you cooking that you need a stove that costs almost $5,000 and are you taking reservations

We need to have someone request an item from the states so we can get a feel for that as well. I think someone got a quote that worked out to around 14 miles/1 USD and that's what I've been using for my goalpost of an annual pass. That means I need to have just over 19,000 miles --- have to earn around another 2,500 and we're averaging about 1,300 a month.

you must know that 5000 crosses the line from need to want!! my want list is an induction cooktop, double ovens, and a really cool non-stainless steel look. here’s the one i priced out. you’d be welcome for dinner any day of the week, though!!

i think it’s really helpful to have a rough target for saving. but whoa, 1300 a month right now is awesome! i’m hardly earning any these days.

So
I am missing over 300 airmiles or should I say they haven't posted yet.
Purchase date Sept 3 2021
I have always received the Sobeys airmiles the following week after purchase.

Chat with Sara
The wait is 60 days.
Seriously if other rewards points etc can be deposited the day of , why can't airmiles get it together.
For me that would be saving and cross checking up to 8 or more receipts every 60 days.
That's just too much.

Hugs
Mel

Seems like lots of us are missing miles from that period. Maybe they will post this week.

 

[ottawamom]

Impatiently waiting for the dinner hour tomorrow to see if mine post as well. I thought maybe it was just my store but looks like a lot of us are in the same boat.

I suppose it is time for me to take back the reigns ... can't guarantee that I'll update the first page again but I can probably drop the weekly ones here

My BMO offer was another - buy a dream reward, get 150AM. So snapped up a movie ticket + popcorn + drink. With the 150AM “rebate” - works out to 75AM. So less than $10 value for a night out…..and then I’ll likely use for a Disney movie and submit the tix to DMR. I think I’m about 25 tix from the Disney Studios tour (assuming/hoping they bring that back!). I’ve been to the studios a number of times for events, but super want to take my family and a couple of friends! I think they’d love it.

What a brilliant idea!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG...I really hope I get the deal. We LOVE going to the movies. We just went for the first time over the long weekend, and it felt soooooooooo good to do something normal again!!!! I highly recommend the new Marvel movie....it was REALLY good - if your a marvel fan.

I may get it too simply because my DVC payment is the 16th and my kids hockey payment and and . Just a crappy return that if I didn’t have preauth I’d never make
