I'm not crazy right
others can see this online?

 

[bababear_50]

So I looked up the Metro number and called them
They think it might be a Tech glitch.
They will manually award my account with 150 Airmiles but it will take 1-2 weeks to show up.
Metro number I called
1-844-777-7611

Need to talk to us?

We are available Sunday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Call us at 1-844-777-7611.

This was my first time actually calling Metro ,,lady was very nice.

Those are great offers. Thanks for flagging!

Yeah but the problem is it may just be a Tech Glitch.
I was going to try another Metro with my son's card for the Mayo but not sure yet.

Let me know if it works for you.

Ughhhhhhh I thought you meant the awarding points part, not the entire offer... Ok thanks!

Yeah there are a bunch of offers listed as Buy 1 get 50 bonus Airmiles that are not posting.
I also wanted to pick up a bottle of this for my sister but I'm not sure it would work.

So
it appears that the Online Flyer and the Physical Flyer (yes I picked one up) for Metro state that you have to buy
1 Mayo AND
1 Chicken
AND
1 Knorr's Chicken Bullion
to get 50 Bonus Airmiles.
So total mess up on the Airmiles website.
Hopefully they fix it tomorrow
And the date is different June 2-June 29th in Flyer.
Airmiles says the offer ends June 8th on their website

I must say, the offer did sound a bit to good to be true. Would any of those items be much more than the value of 50 AMs?
BUT, they posted it wrong, they should have to come good for it.

 

[bababear_50]

Airmiles has me so confused today that I am not heading to Foodland until I get confirmation on one of their offers tomorrow.

I won't even post until it all works out.
Have a good night everyone.

Airmiles rep
took notes
screenshots
advised that she will report incorrect info to Head office.
If anyone is thinking of using or already did use these offers keep a screen shot as she seems to think Airmiles will honor it,,I however doubt they will. (Just past experiencein dealing with them).

Foodland is for 6 cases of 6x710 ml of Pop
Not

95 Bonus Miles

Buy 6 PEPSI Soft Drinks 6x710 mL, in-store*

They will be correcting this one too.

Have a great Monday everyone.
Hugs
Mel

Maybe I’m late to the party but Home Depot is back in airmiles shops. I haven’t looked at the exclusions or anything but it’s exciting for me

Oh Oh, will that leave just Metro? How long before it leaves? Oh Oh!

 

[bababear_50]

Oh Oh, will that leave just Metro? How long before it leaves? Oh Oh!

Over the years I personally have found less and less Airmiles at Metro.
I know Metro in Quebec has their own rewards program ,,maybe Metro here will do that.
I know I was crushed when Rona & Rexall left but I have adapted quite well to Be Well points at Rexall.
Who knows what *Scene +* will bring. Many people are also doing PC Points. I will be looking for something of value that gives me travel opportunities.
Life changes.

Ouch! I think Rexall and Sobeys were about 90% of our airmiles.

I haven't shopped at Sobeys since the one near me shut and moved, but this is big news. I haven't done very well with earnings lately, Shell and a few at Metro. I'll need to re-evaluate which plan I use I guess.

That news about Scene+ includes FreshCo. There is one of those nearby and it's (obviously) cheaper groceries so perhaps that will work out.

It's been awhile since I've been to my local Fresh Co but it's only about 4-5 blocks away. Yeah the prices there are pretty good.

I came on to share that news about Sobeys (and related Empire-owned stores) moving to Scene+. I should have guessed someone else shared already!

Husband (bakey manager at a store here in Dartmouth, NS) hasn't heard this internally yet, but doesn't mean much, he'll probably hear it officially from them soon.

This will be very interesting for us, since even in AM drought times we usually spend the lions share at Sobeys, as he is always there. At least we still have my AM credit cards.
