Airmiles Armchair Chatter

I'm liking Airmiles at the moment (it could be love/hate again next week). It feels good to have a bunch of AM post and see that account balance go up.

Now we just need to convince BMO to keep things moving in this manner. Lots of bonus opportunities moving forward. I'll play the game.
 

Well crap on a cracker, I'm gonna need to follow up for a ton of miles!
the 20x offer we ordered a gift card for landmark theaters which should have earned us 600 (ok, full amount of 500 would post) but that danged thing never posted. All we got was 19 miles because we needed gas that weekend and Frederick only holds 32 L meaning 1 mile.

Only one of my pizza pizza orders posted so I'm out all those as well. The gift card didn't work I'm guessing, just the actual pizza order.

Glad to see the happy reports from everyone, not thrilled that I'm going to chase these down. Along with miles from A mazon prime days (about another 300 there) I've become lazy about my follow-up!

Just for reference. My Pizza Pizza GC (in store) purchase worked both times I did it. The online aspect might be the hold-up.

Yup, me too and my daughter as well. And it worked easily using it to apply to an online food order. You can only use one gift card for each online pizza order that you make, however.

I hope they continue as a partner but it still just says Oct. 31 on their valid until information on the Air Miles website.
 
Just spent over an hour chasing down some miles. At least 40 of those were spent waiting, signing back into the account and waiting some more - gawd, hire more agents!! At least I had other things to do on the computer while sitting here but it's aggravating that their chat box doesn't become a floating one that is visible in other tabs. I'm never satisfied with a booked reservation and the details of a trip, constantly tweaking it and now that we're back to just a tad more than 3 weeks I've got to get a move on! Neglected to remember that our trip will once again, be over their Thanksgiving week meaning ADR's have booked up and the parks will be busy. Got some gut wrenching news about the trip last week that had us rethinking even going on the trip but we've decided to pick ourselves up and move forward with it as (re)scheduled. The chef I've been working closely with since our trip in March to make this our best trip ever was let go last Wednesday. I do not do well with uncertainty and not knowing IF i will be able to eat safe food left me untethered. Back to needing to pack a suitcase of food, unsure if the information collected will still be accessible by the culinary team and if the ingredients that had been sourced actually made it into the kitchen.

SO we pivot now to attempt to create a trip out of nothing. We're going to use some miles to rent a car to allow us to get to other resorts that have managed my limitations with varying success. There's no way to know who will emerge from the kitchen and how willing (or able) to cook for me, some are amazing but most leave a LOT to desire. I was so looking forward to special food on my birthday (knew a cake was being made), our anniversary (40 years, how are we possible that old?!) and John's as well. We're also looking at maybe doing 2 park days instead of just one but that's complicated without being able to eat inside any of them other than one location in EPCOT. I know, I know, 1st world problems. Sorry for the long-winded, whiny post
 
The 120 air miles from Pizza Pizza from Oct. 20 has posted. It was a spend $25 get 120 airmiles (20 plus the 100 bonus).
I got the same. Still haven't gotten the miles for the first purchase though. Now that everyone has gotten their 20X I guess that means a chat for me. I really love trying to explain that my internet friends got their miles.

Why do we keep getting the Jamaican patties, Tic Tacs, etc?! Like, let's move on from those random items, please!
LOL....I thought the exact same thing. I think I said something along those lines last week too.

We are flying down on the 28th to board the cruise on the 30th. I didn't realize it was thanksgiving until after I booked. From what I've been seeing it doesn't appear to be a crazy weekend this year. There were still lots of rooms available when I last looked which was less than 2 weeks ago. I got ASSp on Priceline for $90/night and it was still there a few days ago. I've looked at dining reservations for the 29th and still lots there.


A little BTW....I discovered yesterday that a verandah on our cruise is now selling for LESS than what I paid for a basic inside. I'm so irritated! I called to see if we could be moved into a verandah and was told no that it would be considered a cancellation and rebook. The penalty is 50%. I really don't get it, I'm not asking for a refund, just move me to an different room.

Not in mine either. Strange though the Dollarama logo was still there across a banner. Maybe they are just late updating the new terms (it has happened before)

Pretty much an AM desert out there at the moment if the offers are an indication of the future. I must remember to be happy about all the AM that just posted although I am slipping downhill towards the hate side of the love/hate relationship. Come on Airmiles push me back to the love side!
