Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[AngelDisney]

Just got back from Rexall - had the Spend $40 get 60 Airmiles on my Load and Go app, plus received the email for the additional Spend $40 get 60, picked up a few things that were on the app as well. Spent $75.73 and received a total of 168 Airmiles!!

We're going to WDW in February 2018 and have been saving enough Airmiles for five of the 5-day passes - only need 172 more Airmiles!!!! Sooo close!!

 

[kerreyn]

I can't even show them the APP, can't download it my phone is DUMB I do load the offers on my card and for a couple of weeks i could pull them up on my Kindle and save them but a forced update to that device has rendered the website USELESS!!

Crud - that sucks. Good luck tomorrow!!
Ps - just ordered four of the 5-day passes! I'm hoping to get enough Airmiles by the end of this coming weekend to be able to order the 5th (if they post fast enough). I'll still need to save for a 6th pass, but that person is a US citizen, so I can purchase their pass until after the 25% deal ends.

Thank you for all the good wishes everyone. We will definitely be ok but we are fragile right now and desperately want to be home. We all just need our routine and familiar people and places back. We recovered most of our checked luggage. It's just my husbands that is lost right now. The items left behind when we fled are going to take alot more time. I"ll be happy to see any of it again. I'm just trying to chew this elephant one bite at a time.

We had decided before all of this to go back to our plan of a late August Disney trip as my youngest brother and his girlfriend will be going at the same time. So I think I'll will be buying one Disney ticket before the 25% off deal ends. That will leave me about 6 months to earn the final 5 day Disney ticket ( I already have two airmiles tickets).
I think I will sit in the hotel room and look at Rexall and Sobey's flyers online to see if there is anything worth going to get Wednesday.

I don't think the Load N Go you have to show the app, just have them loaded to your card. I got both the loaded and a bonus offer a couple weeks ago, that was a nice shopping day I like the fact I don't have to print stuff, like with Sobeys. Metro is annoying because the coupons don't get loaded, you still have to remember to show them. I keep hoping Metro will end up on the load and go app too.

Back from my Rexall hunt ... did a bang up job thanks to @kerreyn 's comment that the coupon can be combined with the Load n Go offers!

That sale -- $65.98 ---153 AM

Next sale -- needed some cough tablets for hubby -- on sale, had coupon AND bonus miles (plus a Load n Go offer i didn't know i had!)
Hand cream in travel sizes -- on sale and bonus miles

Disney sends me an email saying you can book your FP+
and this is the message I've been getting all evening!
I guess they want me to just "Let It go"!

Whoops!

My neighbourhood Sobeys has been having their "Grand Reopening" the last few weeks, which has included Air Miles deals Two weeks ago it was spend $150, get 100 miles, last week 15x miles over $100, and this week the spend $150 get 100 deal again. Yay! Lawton's Drug has get 95 miles, spend $35 on Our Compliments products! Plus, the My Offers through Sobeys.

I need about 400 miles to get our last US 2-day pass, so with those two deals, I would be 200 miles away.

I think I might change DH's account to a Cash account vs Dream. I get the better deals on flights with my BMO World Elite card and travel certificates in the Cash program are the same for everyone.

I was reading on another thread that others were having similar difficulties. Have you tried clearing your cookies and cache? Failing that try another browser and see if you can get through. (That is if you need to make Fastpass+ selections now and they haven't just sent you that email in error also)

I second the Duck, order what you can now, you never know when they are going up or disappear. Also if your going in Feb, you want to make sure that you get them in time. You will miss out on the 60 days for FP but in Feb you shouldnt need too many. Good luck and welcome aboard the AM roller-coaster.

 

[bababear_50]

Well I followed Ottawamom's advice and was able to book the Fast Passes. Thanks Hon
Airmiles just posted from my Sobeys buy and I was able to get the last Disney Pass I needed.YEAH!!!
Now onto restocking the near empty supply.
Hugs Mel

Thanks! I ordered 4passes, and only need another 310 for the 5th! Woot!!
We're not going until February 2018, so still good on the FP!

Just back and read your posts about your ordeal. Hugs to you all and glad you are ok!

Sad I won't be following this thread for AM for Disney Deals.....lol. But I need to rack up the points for the travel my daughter needs to do for her sports stuff in the upcoming couple of years. So will still be here!

Sobey's flyer is up. They actually have some deals for once in a long time.

Greenfield meat products buy 2 get 40AM
Dare cookies buy 2 @1.99 get 10AM
Bick's pickles 3.99 get 10AM
Various Kraft products buy 3 get 25AM

Not a fabulous selection but better than it has been in Ontario recently.

That does look better than it has been. Between that and the Spend $50 get 100 AM at Rexall, I should be able to get 250 airmiles this weekend with little effort.

Metro flyer is a tad easier to see on their own site now! This week's offer is use 95 cash AM and get 50 AM (not just the weekend this time so if you have some miles sitting in your cash account you can do this several times)
Metro Ontario Flyer Jan 12 - 18

 

[Silvermist999]

Ugh! I just spent $40 at rexall yesterday, now they have the 100AM for $50 starting tomorrow....any ideas what to buy? We made a last minute decision to go back to WDW this year, I'm short one 5day pass!!

What do you all buy there...if only my kids were still in diapers, lol.

So due to our ordeal the other day we've been given Jetblue credits. Between those and the points we have, we can fly to Orlando and back for free. I have Universal AP's that don't expire until October 30th 2017, and I have two of the four 5 day Disney tickets I need. I looked on Skyauction and could get a 2 bedroom at Sheraton Vistana for the week we are looking at for $500 USD. There is also Bonnet Creek for $1100. Both are very close, and we love the amenities and space. We just don't all fit well into a room onsite anymore, and love having a kitchen .We would stay onsite at Universal for 3 nights though. I will soon have enough credit card points for our car rental.
I plan to ask for a 5 day Disney pass for my birthday at the end of the month from my parents.
I could conceivably do this trip for 11 days for about $2800 USD ( 3 nights at Cabana Bay , Volcano Bay tickets (estimating $300) , Vistana and $1500 for food and spending money).
That's pretty amazing. I could probably even get it lower than that with AP hotel rates at Universal.
So I have six months to earn another 5 day Disney ticket. I will keep collecting beyond that to try and pay for an airport hotel as well, if we need one.

I'll make my Sobey's and Rexall lists this afternoon. Let the collecting begin.
