ok gang, any idea what the heck the ONYX + bonus is about? Not complaining just wasn't aware it is even a thing!!! Remember my comments about not getting 30 L in our car? It was 30.02 thought there might be little drips on the car when hubby was finished

I used Shell EasyPay yesterday for the first time. When I got home, I had the same. I was just thrilled that I hadn't accidentally driven away without paying I haven't been on the airmiles track for a bit so seeing some go in was exciting.
Today, I went to Foodland....bought a $100 gc (50 BB AM), bought a turkey and some spaghetti sauce (30 BB AM) and used my gc plus redeemed 95 AM (25 BB AM). Bonus boom is done.
It was very strange because I have NO Foodland/Sobeys offers in my account.

Good afternoon friends! We made it safe and sound to Playa Del Carmen. The flight was fantastic. We were on the Dreamliner and the upgrades service was worth every penny. We watched movies, had a meal, several cocktails and snacks. Got through immigration in 15 minutes. Then things slowed down...we arrived in a down pour so luggage took an hour and was soaking wet. Finally made it out to the bus and had to sit there for another 40ish minutes. I swore last time I would book a private transfer and for sure will do it next time without question. After arriving at the resort were taken to the private privilege office for check in. They took our drink order and had us sit in comfy chairs while they did the check in which was rather lengthy. They go over Covid protocols, do a health screening, go over what’s operational and what’s not. The resort is at 50% capacity so a lot is closed or only open on a rotation. After this we met our butler who took us to our room and went through everything there. He made a dinner reservation for us and gave us his phone number. Then it was off to explore a little and we kicked things off with a walk down the beach. After dinner we headed to the other end of the property towards the lobby. I think we found our bartender there...of course he just happens to have a brother living in Toronto. Ya right! Anyway he was fun and kept our drinks coming without being asked.

The wifi here is spotty and seem to block a lot of things. I’ve been trying to post some pics but they won’t load. I’ll keep trying and hopefully get some to y’all.

DS just filled up his car using DH card. DH got an email for 100AM with 30L fill up (max 5 times). Not going to let that go to waste. Shell posted immediately. There are so many offers that stack that we ended up getting 112AM for the fill-up.

DS will do all 5 over the course of the next few weeks for DH so I will do Bonus Boom for him. Off to Sobeys tomorrow to get a GC and the Metro on Thursday to round it out. He already did the gas one.

Pop my balloon of hope with those pins and needles I was sitting on. Great a new flight program. I see flights going through the roof. Oh well. At least we know the date of the next Bonus Boom.

I just read thru the entire press release and found a few things I like! All Onyx card holders are now back into Shell GO + until the end of 2022 which explains my extra miles on Saturday, there will be more stores connected thru Mastercard including subway and Boston Pizza, until the end of Oct if you redeem for merchandise over 1000 you get 100 miles back.

I'm fairly confident that the next promo will have a larger payout since it's running for 6 weeks not just the 2 we're seeing now. Being called Bonus Boom BOOST which to me says, more miles.

Side note, hubby walked behind me while I was scrolling thru Instagram last night squinted at one of the silly Airmiles posts and said "it's all gravy" which to me says, we need to take a step back to see the big picture he was right!

This is good for me as my brother has been getting gas at Esso for the car wash and my nephew has been using Petro Canada so haven't made a dent in the qualification values.

I hope that 6 week bonus boom has a much bigger big payout... and not just 3 times the 95 or something... time will tell I suppose. But since I just used a whole lot of AM buying one Disney ticket (which I thought was supposed to be emailed in 24 hours but hasn't been yet) I need to build it back up.

As for Shell, I get gas once, maybe twice a month now with WFH so it's nice to earn even one or two extra miles when I do get gas. I think for October I had an offer for if I do 2 fill ups I get 50 AM and if I do 3 it's 100 AM, no way I'll be able to do 3 though. I am still hoping to burn some gas so I can refill this week.

 

[ottawamom]

@hdrolfe can you enlist the help of family members to do a fill up every now and then to meet the requirements of the offer. I enlist the aid of my boys as they are the ones who will reap the benefits of the trips we take. These days we are not filling up our vehicles very often but the boys are on the road all the time.

Everyone in the family has their own cards and my parents got a new car in the summer and have yet to put any gas in it !! It's hybrid and apparently very efficient lol.

Good afternoon peeps...I see something is brewing with AM but at the moment the 6 shots and 2 sangrias are impairing my ability to comprehend the details. Possibly just unpairing everything.
