Airmiles Armchair Chatter

I ended up going to the physical store. The GC will be the prize for the "find the pickle" on the Christmas tree game we play each year.

So if we did 1x $25 min spend at Pizza Pizza - are we expecting that will also trigger the 15x AM? (But to the max of 500AM per member total for the promo)

I am literally in shock if this really works…! I earned 100AM for the 15x the other day so my max would be 400 bonus for the one $25 gc. $42 Cashback for spending $25?!

I did Pizza Pizza too. I actually like it and haven't had in a very long time. Friday if often pizza night for us, well, for me. DH hates all pizza...yes he's defective. He will have wings. So with DD gone I'm happy to do frozen pizza but I'm ready for some real pizza.

YUP! Now you know why those of us who bought the MaxPass last year for Dollarama were so excited. At that point it was 10 miles for every $30 spent and 30X and it was valid for a week (come to think of it, that was THIS week because I couldn't find one open on Thanksgiving day!) AIrmiles essentially paid for us to legally launder our own money. Ended up with 6 $30 gift cards for Disney that I would already be spending and then got back almost $200 in miles AND still had the money we initially spent, now in the form of gift cards.

In the words of Elmer Fudd "Shhh be berry-berry quiet, we're hunting raskly miles"

For the 20x I did:
Petsmart 6 x 20 = 120 AM
Dollarama 1 x 20 = 20 AM
Pizza Pizza 20 X 20 = 400 AM
So I’ll get the 500 AM total

I wasn’t going to do the Pizza Pizza as we’ve never ordered from there before but since it’s essentially “free” with the $40 AM return, we can try it once.

I also did the pizza pizza, either of my university aged kids can make use of it. So now I’m trying to see what else I can order online to get the remaining 100AM.

Don't forget that today is 40x at Shell.

Looks like it’s only for the fancy gas though. Does paying more make it worth it?

DH has our electric car at a school reunion in the US so I’ve been driving our old one. I’m so out of the loop though, haven’t been to a gas station in months!

If you have a mastercard you get 7 cents off per litre with nitro. It ends up costing the same as regular.

I had to put a bit of gas in yesterday to make it to today, but i put too much. So now i will be volunteering to drive everywhere today to get my tank low enough. I need 30L to also do a fill that counts towards my monthly offer.

I called our local Shell and asked the gas prices, they will not give them out on the phone. Odd. So hubby went online and did some magic trick (just kidding, but it makes him feel good when I call it a magic trick ) and it shows the price of Reg. at 1.42 and the price of Prem. at 1.74.
.32 difference is a lot, the .07 doesn't help much in this instance. Even with a 40Xs offer it's not a good deal. Now, if I were to only purchase prem. then the 40Xs offer is great. My car doesn't need that so I'll wait and maybe it will go back down to the $1.35 price again. One can dream.

Oh wow! At my Shell, nitro is like 1.66 and regular is 1.57!

Is the Shell offer a one time use, or can i use it twice today? We have to use premium gas on both vehicles, I kept the SUV close to empty all week just for this offer, lol.

I interpret it that you can do it as many times as you like to a max of 500 ams.

Maximum 50 Reward Miles from all Base Offers in a 24-hour period. Limit of 500 Bonus Miles per collector account. Any Base Miles earned in connection with eligible purchases made at any participating Shell locations in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Thunder Bay and Yukon (excluding Shell Flying J locations) with the collector number associated with the recipient’s collector account will qualify towards the earn requirement.

plus lots of Airmiles!

Thanks, I think you are right. We went out and filled up 84L (DH decided to add the extra 4L on his car even though I said it wasn’t necessary).

We managed to get 9 base miles so that gives us a nice 360 ams from today (plus our monthly 80 miles for 4 fillups). A nice haul for gas we had to get anyways!

 

[juniorbugman]

I got 4 base miles so should get 160 miles. I think I read that the bonus miles will show up later because I only got the 4 base miles and the 4 bonus Shell plus miles.
Yesterday I spent $40 at Walmart so earned 2 whole miles but they had 5x so got 10 in total. I will wait to see what I got in the 20x bonus miles. I also shopped at Michael's and should earn 1 base mile so with the 20x I will get 20 miles. My last Michaels miles never posted but I didn't need it so didn't fight for it but if this one doesn't post I will fight.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Well I screwed up my 40x Shell offer. I was assuming it was for every 20L of gas...nope. It is for every 30L. Had enough space in the tank for 22L. Oh well.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I just found a dollarama offer that starts Oct 18: spend $30, earn 100 miles. I can't post the exact info as I am getting ready for work.
