Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[mort1331]

That's why I have all dream miles, and the bonus cash miles I should be getting will go right to gift cards.

 

[kuhltiffany]

Woo-hoo! Thanks for your help everyone! The miles from buying my stove at Lowe's just posted (520) plus from United Van Lines from moving (567), so not only have I made Onyx, I have enough for our car rental when we go to DL

Anyone have issues with the Ultimate Dining cards that had the 70 bonus Airmiles bought at Sobeys back in November?

I went to use mine today and according to the check on line balance all 3 I bought were redeemed the day after I bought them in Toronto.

I have emailed Cara but I have a feeling I am going to be out the $150, not happy about this at all, so many scams out there.

I hope not because I bought some of them also.
I am dealing with walmart gift cards right now--no where to check online but so far we are out 300.00 dollars.
I plan to go tomorrow morning with my receipt and cards,,I used my new American express for this purchase.
Hugs to you hon

I have to call airmiles about my Costa Coffee airmiles. Only 10 AM are posted for each cup I bought on Dec. 11 Sunday. The receipts each stated "the bonus points will be posted but not available at the moment". I had a bad feeling then and I will have to call tomorrow. I am not getting only 10 AM each for that awful coffee! I had kept the receipts. Should I email them instead?

I was just getting ready to do a PSA about Sears Giftcards and it looks like this is the time to discuss (read complain) about our results!

Sears has "upgraded" (read screwed around with) their website "experience" as they call it and it now flat out SUCKS! Search no longer works, the Outlet Store is GONE, the filters are useless and if you need to look at more products than load initially they re-populate the list and heaven knows where they show up! But the absolute worst??? You can't use giftcards to pay online anymore which means you can't collect Airmiles with the GC you bought specifically for this purpose

We needed a new carry-on to replace the one that got destroyed via Gatechecking last year (didn't discover until a month later) so i snagged giftcards at Rexall with the intent of Boxing Day sales ... NO, fine then let's go into our "new & improved Store" yeah, yeah that was almost more of a hassle --- they have diddly-squat for stock now and one central bank of cash registers. So i have a suitcase i'm not thrilled with, $10.00 left on my Giftcards i doubt I'll use and a really bad taste in my mouth for Sears!

This is how i would tackle it -- for any issue i have with Airmiles
1) try on-line chat, about 70% of the time i have success
2) call the toll-free number (better if you're ONYX they do answer quicker) about 95% success rate here
3) tuck those receipts into my "follow-up after 120 days" envelope. Over the years I've had about 5 problems and every single one resolved itself before i had to submit a formal inquiry.

Good luck!

Thanks for the advice! I will follow through the steps and hope it gets resolved without all the way through!

This has been on a few shows and I am sorry it has happened to you all.
They say that people copy the numbers down, sometimes scratch the pins, then check daily for when the card has been activated. They then use that card right away.
There should be an 800# with the cards, and they are usually good at helping out people if you have receipts or where the card was bought.
Good luck

Thank you for the heads-up. I just checked my cards and fortunately they are good. I would never think to check for something like that. I hope there is something you can do.

I think Loyalty One finally posted the 25AM from that travel insurance survey I took way back in October. Anyone else have theirs come through?

Mine came through as well! That might be enough to push me into Onyx for next year!

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Ours came through as well!

Another 120-day wait'er I can scratch off my spreadsheet!

I got 25 bonus miles added last night.

 

[Donald - my hero]

yesterday was a great day in my account too!
Got the 25 from Loyalty One (travel insurance survey prolly)
100 from Metro (was that the Shop the Block offer for spending the cash miles??)
ALL of my miles from my late afternoon Rexall Shop (the 110 for the one day coupon PLUS the loadngo offer i didn't think would be given!!)
10 bonus from one of my online shopping (not sure which one that is !)
AND a total of 10 from surveys!

 

[ottawamom]

Shop the block for spending 95Cash AM at Metro the beginning of December was a reward of 25AM. Mine posted within 10 days of earning. There was also a 60AM bonus for spending $100. Possibly that with some other bonuses added in. Either way congrats on the big haul for yesterday.

Walmart gift cards are all fixed up.
Next time I buy gift cards I am marking them with a permanent marker to identify the amounts.
The 25.00 were mixed up with the 100.00.
Walmart does have a number you can call to check the balances

Wal-Mart Canada Corp. Balance inquiries: 1-888-537-5503.

Loyalty one posted 25 airmiles to my account.

Hugs Mel

I got a special paper type card from Rexall yesterday while shopping.
Get Miles Again and Again"
Use this card once daily.Till Jan 22.2017
Get 40 airmiles when you spend 25.00
Cashier swiped it yesterday and I got the 40 already posted to my account with the 110 from yesterdays promotion.
