Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ottawamom]

Just went to Pharmasave for their bonus offer. My receipt showed the regular points but not the bonus but I am not surprised. At Dollarama now getting a gc for my card linked offer then to Shell for something and that should do the 3 minimum shops?

To clarify, I didn't get the bonus points on the offer just the 1AM for having spent $10. That gives me confidence that the offer will work.

,i would love to be proved wrong, I'm glad to hear that bonus miles work as well.

I would appreciate it if people could give an overall amount they've spent. I, as you saw above, had talked myself out of this promo.

Petsmart $25 (saved $6 using a promo code Save20 from Petsmart) I purchased bones I needed to get anyway and 2 cans of dog food.
Pharmasave $12, vitamin D3 (probably overpaid but I need them also)
FreshCo, receipts offer $3 (organic baby carrots)
Dollarama - cardlink, $30 Amazon card, to be used for future purchases
Shell - Powerade $6 (these I didn't need but DS will drink them while he takes care of our dog)

Over spending on things I might have purchased elsewhere, under $10. Payback Pharmasave 100AM, STB 775AM (or about $90)

I didn't get around to finishing my card as I didn't like the flavours of Powerade at Shell and I might go to Global Pet instead of Petsmart for #5.

I went to the Pharmasave at the cottage today but sadly for me they closed early at 4pm instead of 5:30pm so no bonus miles for me. They are closed tomorrow as well for the same reason so guess they are a no go for me.

 

[ottawamom]

It's only $10, and you have a beautiful weekend in cottage country ahead of you.

I got 7 miles today from shopping there. I just assumed that counted as a partner of some sort. Does anyone know? It is listed in my transactions as "Warehouse". I know you get 1 am for every $12 spent or something like that. I'm not sure what category it falls under. That's why I was going to do one extra partner, just in case something else doesn't work out.

This is a good question. I would like to know also.

My Pharmasave 1 AM posted already as well.

I went to the Pharmasave on North Front in Belleville and when I arrived they were having issues with the sale items. When they scanned the air miles card the sale price changed to the regular price. One clerk phoned tech support and spent probably 20 minutes getting the issue resolved. I just keep wandering around the store waiting it out to see if I could purchase a sale item and get the sale price and air miles. Checked out one regular item on one card and one sale item on another card and the air miles worked. Worth the wait.

The pharmasave here did not have anything in it. Mainly a medical clinic and pharmacy. Maybe they had tylenol etc over the counter but I didn't go wait in line to check. Also, there's been some controversy with that clinic as it's private and advertised a paid membership to access their services. So, won't be an AM option for me.

I woke up this morning upset that I forgot to do my online orders to complete my shop the block, then realized it's til the 4th. LOL. I guess I was focused on the 20th because of the pharmasave offer!

Need to order some paper and other supplies for the office. Love getting airmiles spending other people's money. Ha Ha. Actually, your tax dollars... so thanks. lol

 

[momof2gr8kids]

I hope you're miraculously better this morning @Donald - my hero and don't have to cancel your trip. But sounds like you were already making plans to switch the dates. I hope it works out for you! Such a disappointment.

3. Dollarama....Disney gift card to use on the cruise

For my blank one it will be an online shop...there are a few things I've been meaning to get.
For DD's blank ones...I still need to book my hotels and might order something for the dog from Petsmart. Alternatively, there are some t-shirts on Etsy I've been looking at. Is Etsy even still on AM?

 

[bababear_50]

FYI
I think this was a good deal at Staples online ordering
Red Dot Deals

Hugs Mel

Yes Etsy is still on Airmiles

This event I'm going to sit out. I'm way to involved with this credit card fraud. I've been at it for hours.

For those looking for a last ditch offer, would Rewarding Your Opinions work? Not sure but might be worth a try even as a back up in case.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I like that we don't have to wait months for the big bonus to post. 1.5 months is plenty of time to have to wait!

My granny was always telling everyone to look at the bright side of things and I'm sorry, the only bright side at the moment being that we'll be able to take our time and concentrate on finishing the StB promo just doesn't come close to taking the sting away. It's looking more and more like we're going to have to postpone the trip. We keep adding symptoms or ones that we thought were abating get worse again. Hubby's got the GI crap (literally) going on now and my balance is more wonky again. I spent HOURS looking at possible switches and we think we've settled on our plan B trip. Unfortunately it will be after my annual pass expires but it will include both of our birthdays again.

Should I be worried that the $18 I spent (before tax) at Pharmasave yesterday didn't work because I just looked at my receipt and it said Airmiles earned 0 (grrrr!) Also, any ideas why I can never get my receipts to scan, bought pancake mix yesterday and try to submit and I always get a blue screen that say Oops! Looks like something went wrong - this happens almost every time I try it no matter what store I shop at

Your receipt should say 1 AM earned, mine does.

 

[rella's fan]

Your receipt should say 1 AM earned, mine does.

Great, am I still looking at 3-4 hours on hold to fight for them?

Rella
quick question
when everyone was having issues with the APP a few weeks ago were you also?

Rella did you go to Google Play Store and install the update for the Airmiles APP?

I know some people's phones automatically do it but mine didn't and I had to install the new updated APP.

Maybe this might help.
