Hi Gang
My "Shop The Block" airmiles just posted tonight!
Loyalty one= 1900 airmiles.
YEAH!!!!!

Quick question
I plan on buying 2x 100.00 VISA cards.
Does anyone know if I can just apply two $100 dollar VISA cards to my room charge privileges at my Walt Disney Resort ?
Thanks
Hugs Mel

The duck is home (and is extremely ill -- in case anyone needs to know the process is very smooth if you need to go to an urgent care centre and then need drugs delivered!!) and she is FURIOUS! My Shop The Block posted as well -- but only got 950!!!!!! I know for a fact that we used more of those coupons than we needed to get the full amount credited. The stupid report missing miles doesn't allow me to say STB for sponsor--- I don't have the energy to chase this crap down

Donald I'm so sorry to hear of your misfortune. I hope things turn for the better. I also got my STB miles, but I've never had cash miles before. How would i best put them to use?

 

[kuhltiffany]

Oh no! Sometimes I think they do that on purpose, make it hard to fight for them so they don't have to hand them out. Mine posted and are right, thank goodness. I had done 1 extra of the requirements just in case…

Hope you feel better soon!

My strategy is to save Cash miles for when they have offers like spend $10/95 AM, get 50, or you can go to Shell and use them for Gift Cards...

Mine posted as well. Don't worry Donald you'll be up to the challenge of getting those miles once you are feeling better. They aren't going anywhere.

Got mine too! So funny that I JUST asked about these yesterday LOL

Re: The LCBO GC.
The spend 100 on a LCBO GC and get 30 airmiles just seemed like a not so good deal to me.
Maybe spend 100 get 75 airmiles and I might have considered it,
Hugs Mel

Agree that it's not an amazing deal, but I will probably pick one up anyway, maybe two. We'll go through $100 at LCBO every 2-3 months, so I'm not losing anything except tying up a bit of cash for awhile, and that doesn't bother me.

For any wine drinkers on the thread, I was at LCBO last night and they have quite a few bottles (generally $15 range) at 10 bonus miles, including my very favourite Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc. Also many at lower bonus levels (6-8 points). Until Feb. 25. Again, nothing to get blown away by in terms of points/dollar, but I'd be buying the wine anyway.

Figure 6 bottles of wine at 10 bonus miles each on the $100 gift card with its 30 bonus miles - that's not awful. As long as you want the wine, of course.

Well first things first,,,put the chicken noodle soup on and put up those feet and rest well!
Welcome Home!
You can and will track down those airmiles when you are ready.(You are the Super Duck).

You shall have a "nice" little chat with our airmiles personnel when you are all better.
It is nice to have you home Hon!

Where can you buy the VISA gift cards with Cash miles?

Hi Hon
I use my cash airmiles to buy gift cards at Shell.
Hugs Mel

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Hmmm, I was going to save mine to travel gift certificates, but that might be better if I can buy VISA/MC gift cards. Gives me more booking options.

Only thing is I would have find out if the vendor takes those types of gift cards.

I only go 950 as well, instead of the 1900. I'll wait a couple of days until I yell at them given this response.

Welcome Back. I am sorry to hear you are sick. One of us, and usually more than one, ALWAYS gets sick towards the end or after our trips. There is just no avoiding viruses when you are exposed to so many new germs and all those public spaces. I hope you feel better soon.

Don't bother chasing the miles down until you feel better. They will still be there when you are feeling more like dealing with it all.

I got my miles today so I am now contemplating how best to use them at all. A few pages back I was worried I may not end up with enough miles in time to get our last five day ticket, and that maybe I should take advantage of the 25% off and buy the last one now before the promo ends.
I'm trying to think of how to best use these miles to put $200 towards that ticket. Then I won't have to squeeze the vacation budget too much to account for a ticket I hadn't budgeted for.

 

[Donald - my hero]

Update on the situation: got this message on FB

And this is the result of that chat, so i would recommend starting a chat session yourself @star72232 -- just keep trying the various options till you find the one with the shortest line -- currently under my account or whatever they call it it says #10 in line but using miles is #2 so guess which one i chose

 

[bababear_50]

Jacqueline see I knew you could do it! And you were very polite ,even saying thank-you,,hope you feel better soon!

I decided to apply the STB to my reservation account (Via Gift cards) and booked this with the money we were going to use for a Magic Kingdom breakfast.
Here's the invite I just made my granddaughter.

I think she will enjoy this.
We've done dessert parties at night for fireworks and found everyone is just tired and wanting to chill by the pool at night. So an afternoon dessert party should be fun.
