Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[hdrolfe]

Well they took the AM for my tickets, so hopefully I'll have the tickets soon. Sad to see my 3 AM in dream miles. Hopefully some stuff posts soon!

And my Nexus renewals just went through Even kiddo's with no new interview or picture required, and he was like 7? in his picture? And he's 13 now but I'll take it! Good until end of 2028. Hmm, he'll be an adult at next renewal so perhaps he can do it for himself.

Well, we also just took the plunge and redeemed our AM for the flights to our favourite place in mid-May 2024 =)
I did lots of hemming and hawing over whether this was the best use of our miles, but seeing as WDW hotels haven't been showing up for me, it was flights or park tickets and frankly, they were both nearly even redemption values. So as soon as we had enough for flights, we just booked! Now I only have 73 points, so I really want those Dollarama points to show up so it can look less sad in there!

New Shell offer:

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Gosh you go away for a week...and I had 6 pages to catch up on reading over!!!!

I finally have started seeing some of my dollarstore miles post . Also had a few extra miles from Shell - as we had an unexpected trip to Saskatchewan last week.

I had planned to do the amazon shop - but life happened, and I didn't get to do it.

I'm just waiting for another promo to come so I can get the items I want from Amazon. Good thing I'm not in a rush for those ones (yet).

I'm hoping to hit Dollarama again for another McDicks for my morning tea and muffin!

You could do this one for 100 miles at Amazon:

I have like 3 or 4 metro offers all opted in to right now; all spend a certain amount to receive AMs. Do any of these stack? if I have a large bill should I be separating the purchases (but which offer takes precedent?)

e.g., if I cut off my bill at $125 (which gets the spend $125 for 125AMs), but that purchase is used towards the $10 offer for 100AMs mentioned above instead. Then I spend another $10 and get nothing.

They should stack, I know the spend $10 get 100 AM and the weekly spend $75 get 75 do, says so in the T&C's

Try to look at the terms and conditions .
It usually say if they can be combined with another offer.

I just checked and this is what the spend $10 get 100 Airmiles says
" Offer may be combined with other Bonus Offers. "

I have a spend 100$ get 95 Airmiles personal offer
and it says this.
"Can be combined with other offers, and AIR MILES offers."

New Shell offer:

I see that one and I also have one for Monday, earn 1 AM per litre or $1 spent in store, up to a max 100 AM. I do need gas soon so might do that instead of waiting until Thu/Fri next week. I have both offers but there is no way I'll be able to do both. I'm not sure which is really better, I can't imagine getting more than 30 L.

Plus the 100 miles offer includes in-store purchases, which we don't have here in Nova Scotia.

Yes, I can confirm that all of your metro offers will stack. Go for the biggest one and it will trigger them all! Be aware that most of them will NOT appear on your receipt and will post at random times- some with the date of transaction and others just appear like SURPRISE

doubt we'll do the biggest we have since it's spend $200 get 200. Also I'm sick and sending hubby out on his own and he struggles to keep things straight. I've told him to hit the $75 mark, fingers crossed

And from 1 to lots of dream AM. Dollarama max pass posted and I got everything I was expecting. My 5x for using my BMO card also posted.

 

[cari12]

Just got my 390 AM x 7 for the Dollarama marathon!

And from 1 to lots of dream AM. Dollarama max pass posted and I got everything I was expecting. My 5x for using my BMO card also posted.

I tossed the surface aside to dig out my phone from the folds of my blanket fort to check my account as well. TAA-DAA there they are, I'm thrilled! I submitted the request for an annual pass and got the quote this morning, once the 2 accounts get merged we will have enough to get that with the PhotoPass downloads included.

A data point for those who are interested (and want to gulp when they see how many miles this will set me back)
Annual Pass without pictures currently listed as $1543.19 USD including tax
Quote from the personal shopper is 22,125 miles
Annual Pass with the picture downloads currently listed as $1648.62 USD, including tax
Quote from the personal shopper is 23,650 miles

UPDATE WHILE POSTING:

Just had my call back from Airmiles to merge the 2 accounts and it was less than 6 minutes long including about 3 minutes on hold. I could see the miles INSTANTLY on the main (and now only) card giving me a total of, drumroll please, 473 CASH MILES and 23,948 DREAM MILES -- we are going to DISNEY for our birthdays with an Annual Pass in a month. I am so excited

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I'm glad to see my missing transactions from Pharmasave for both accounts have posted. I was waiting for those with the 3 partners / 300 miles offer from September.

Those maxpass miles are nice! Got mine too, and a couple of other dollarama multipliers I had lost track of. I am hoping to be able to use miles to buy some after hours event tickets next year (IF they come back ). Has anyone done that and can you share a rough number on how many miles per ticket it might end up being?

Yup, did that in January and for reference here's what it *cost*
2 adult tickets to the After Hours at the Studios on March 8th 4,575 miles I looked but can't find my notes about how much they actually cost in USD funds

You can see the quote I got for the Annual Pass - it looks like they are doing a straight conversion from USD to CDN and then using some unknown figure as a service charge. I did a rough calculation based on someone else reporting about a ticket.
