Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[dancin Disney style]

I have also lost track of all these bonus offers. I’ve got a bunch of receipts that are marked for my account or DD’s but no idea how many miles are due. I’ve also just checked my old account and Dollarama had posted there again. Problem is I don’t know if that was something owing from before I did the last unlink/link.

Updating my spreadsheets, seeing what's outstanding on my Airmiles accounts and how the WestJet account is coming along, and dang, I'm impressed with myself. Thanks to this group I somehow managed to earn 12,892 miles so far this year 1280 are from the Black Friday Max Pass I bought for Amazon that didn't post properly until I chased them down. Taking the time to put the details of all of the promos into (what I hope have been) concise posts helped me to maximize my earnings at the same time.

THANKS EVERYONE! Once the miles post from the Dollarama drama and I merge the 2 accounts I will (hopefully) have enough to get an Annual Pass. The clock is ticking here


Side note: OMG it's been a very expensive month - we've almost crested the $5,000 needed for the full WJ rewards as well, poor card is smoking in my purse!

Just wondering Jacqueline
was any other Max Pass besides Amazon offered for Black Friday last year?
I see this article from 2022

Let me look at my notes -- you KNOW I keep everything!

It looks like it was just Amazon, they had some that were worth 40x the miles and some that were worth 20x

At some point in October there was one for just Shell that had us all scratching our heads trying to decide if it was worth spending money to earn miles, 2 people did, most of us said nope!

The OG Max Pass offer was only a passing frustration in the group and I don't think anyone bothered.
ETA - never mind, your sleuthing was much more productive than mine! I didn't pay much attention to them before now because the value wasn't there for me. But this one?? You do realize they paid me to launder my own money, right?!? I spend $180 on gift cards and earned the equivalent of $250 in miles!

I finally broke down and bought the Epson refillable printer and set it up, about a month ago. I have read the the print heads get clogged if not used for a while so I decided that I would print out the AM offers that I use so that will be my record. Didn't do this before as I never knew how much ink I had and didn't want to run out while printing something of importance, never mind the cost of the cartridges.
I think this might work well for me. I can just shred the page as I get the AMs and I have a good record of what my offer was if I ever have to chase any.

Jacqueline, you cracked me up with your comment about money laundering. Laughed so loud DHs head popped up from what he was reading to see what was going on. LOL.

Or another alternative for all that paper is to cut the page into 4 and use the blank side for grocery lists or keeping track of your daily to do list. I've been doing this for years as I like to make my lists. Shred when you're finished with your to do list.

The preceeding comment is been your eco-friendly moment for the day.

Flash offer for AM receipts (where you scan your grocery receipt). If available in your province (provinces listed in terms), just match one item and get 100 AM.
You need to opt in.

These flash offers are tricky to find! I can't seem to easily find them in my offers section using the website, but I can click around on my app and see them. I only saw one for "spend on travel, earn up to 2500 AM" - which might be useful for those spending cash/credit on travel by Oct. 25th instead of redeeming.
Until I clicked on View all 3 offers and then I can see (and opt in to) the shops and receipts one! Thanks for everyone for sharing on there though, to make sure we all go looking for the offers.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Just click on All Offers and scroll through.

That $100/400 miles offers seems pretty good, right?

 

[KandyM]

Has anyone here successfully received miles from the receipts program yet? I've submitted two receipts, both were rejected and I filed inquiries on both as they did have items from the list.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I don't like the new air miles website. Now I can't easily save the T&C conditions of the offers as pdfs! I'm going to have to get crafty with this now.

This happens to me sometimes. One receipt I had three items but the system rejected my receipt. It was a proper grocery store, so that wasn't the issue. And you can't try to resubmit it. It's annoying. I wouldn't rely on it, that's for sure.

At least they have a separate inquiry area for the receipts. Super easy to submit my inquiries. Did you notice that and submit? Honestly I would not have bothered for the 5-10 miles but now I want the 100 miles, lol

I posted this earlier but I have successfully received AM through the receipts...actually got double because I thought you had to submit a separate photo for each item!

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I tried to submit an inquiry but in my activity log, it shows that receipt being invalid. I even did the Live Chat and they weren't helpful or had much knowledge of the program.

I have. It’s usually instant right after submission. Not sure what happens if rejected.
