Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ottawamom]

Are you able to hold off a week or two before purchasing? It seems they regularly have an airmiles multiplier deal (2x, 5x). Wait and see what next weeks flyer has for deals at the very least. Use an AM credit card? Should be able to get an extra 80-160AM that way. That's all I've got!

@ottawamom thanks so much, I will wait till I can see what might be offered this weekend, fingers crossed they have some kind of promo

Quick question for my AM buddies...we are about to make a fairly large purchase at Lowes (approx $1600) and I wondering if there is a way to maximize the Air Miles we can get. I know I can go through AirMiles shops online but we are buying in store so that doesnt work. Are there any coupons, loop holes, ways to order that any of you can suggest? Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

I haven't seen anything recently from Lowes ... you will still earn in store, if this is a must have purchase right now ... bite the bullet and get the 1 for $20, if not you can watch the flyer like a hawk and hope they have a bonus i guess? Current flyer says something about scratch and save though...

How long does it usually take to post your Rexall purchases. I shopped on Monday and haven't seen them yet. Mine usually come in the next day. I'm wondering if they have caught up with my triple dipping on the coupons?

Anyone else having trouble figuring out what the heck is going on with your ONYX miles??? I had a really weird jump yesterday but I can't figure out what's been included ..what's missing .. when does that part of the "year" start...
I've tried adding up from the beginning of 2017 and then removing my STB miles and that is a different number ... tried removing just 1/2 of those since they weren't added as a lump. Just a weird amount currently.

@ottawamom my Rexall miles usually post within 24 hours (often less, I think midnight is the push) but mine from yesterday & Monday aren't there yet either.

My Sunday Rexall posted on Monday but I haven't purchased anything since then.

 

[ottawamom]

@Donald - my hero, your ONYX #'s should be all the AM earned in calendar 2017. (This may include AM earned last year but not posted to your account until 2017) Mine still do not reflect the 1900STB cash miles. The cut off for balancing is Sunday. Anything posted Mon, Tues, Wed and maybe Sunday will not be reflected in that total. If find the easiest time to reconcile what's reflected by AM as counting towards ONYX is first thing Monday morning (pre 9:00am)before any Monday posting is done. Make note of the number that's there now so you'll know if it's changed on Sunday.

Glad to hear your Monday purchases haven't posted yet either. Mine are usually really quick. Maybe they're off on March break!

Just checked - the Airmiles from yesterday's Rexall purchase haven't posted for me yet either.

My STB miles aren't reflecting in my Onyx totals either.

Looking forward to the Rexall and Sobey's flyers this week. I'm hoping there will be something good at both .

Anyone else do the Cineplex free flick offer back in February for one free movie ticket? I did, and just got an email with not one, but two free ticket codes. Check your emails!

I ended up getting the pass in the mail, no e-mail.

The Rexall flyer is up on Saveland and it's a Spend $50 for 100 airmiles weekend finally. I'll do my best to combine load and go offers and airmiles offers from the Flyer and hopefully hit 150.

Interesting promotion. It's not bonus miles. But I'd be happy to win one of these 1,300 cruises.

Airmilesshops.ca has a 25x multiplier on until the 22nd...plus the original multiplier on top of that (i.e., Old navy 2x)

Seriously, this is the best thread EVER!

Sorry we didn't get our flyers at all last night. I guess the foot or so of snow deterred the guy who normally delivers them? Or the fact the road wasn't really plowed... I am so ready for winter to be over! But on a positive note I am getting a puppy tomorrow and my kiddo is super excited about it.

That cream cheese things looks so good! I will be looking for that one for sure! Fingers crossed it's in stock

All miles this week from Sobeys are going into DH's Cash account as he has much better My Offers this time around.

And, I will get to use his spend $50 get 100 miles as it ends tonight!
