Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[bababear_50]

Some kitty pooped and peeded in her travel carrier today on the way to the Vet.. (Feline Leukemia Booster shot).
My son insists she hates the carrier so we ordered a new on today from Am azon... Cyber deal 15% off.

Merry Christmas Cocoa.

Pharmasave question
Looking for confirmation that Pharmasave is no longer a cardlink partner and just a regular partner where cash or debit card can be used along with swiping the Airmiles card?
Right?
Thanks
Hugs Mel

Yes you are correct. After re reading their partner page, they are just the same as Shell... get 1AM per $10 and you can use your cash miles there.

The only thing you need to be careful with is that not all locations of Pharmasave participate in the program. Find a good location, you are good to go.

I wasn't going to cyber shop today but then I printed out some pages on our printer for a meeting tomorrow. Black was ok, the colour printing looked awful. It has been that way for a while but I also just ran out of black ink. Time to purchase a new printer.

Airmileshops/Staples to the rescue. I'll pick it up instore tomorrow. 140 quick AM. I'll purchase some ink (backup) for the new printer on Friday and have that count toward STB (or whatever they are calling it)

[Donald - my hero]

dang, no toys or books. Oh well time to let price dictate where those gifts will come from. I try to avoid a-mazon as much as possible but there are times when I can't find what I'm looking for anywhere else.
I did clean up on the mini fridge that one of our granddaughters wanted and we get to be the Kool grandparents

And look at all the miles for Arthur's train set that cost me $8 because I had managed to collect over $90 on bewell points at Rexall FREE GIFT !!

 

[Donald - my hero]

UGH! We've been trying to co-ordinate 3 separate household schedules to make holiday plans to go up to see Arthur and his family - make that 4 since the girls' father needs to be taken into account as well - and it has been like trying to herd kittens. JUST had the final piece of the puzzle fall into place, happy that I can some miles on the hotel bookings and the airmilesstore site is down!

ETA - it came back up long enough for me to book one of the rooms. I'll book the other on Wednesday so it can be one of my StB offers completed!

Since I'm not tired enough to fall asleep yet, I did a thing

I earned over 800 airmiles on the Black Friday promotion!

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

For anyone who did the Irving 20x promo on Nov 29th, check the math. Mine posted incorrectly.

I earned 3 miles, so x20 should be a total of 60 miles. I only got 3+36=39? Not even sure how that math came about LOL
Onto the Live Chat I go to get this fixed.

Staples cancelled my order last night. I called the store I was going to do pickup at and sure enough they had the printer in stock. On hold right now to complain to Staples. That cost me $14 in Airmiles.

edit to add. Staples.ca says it was the store who cancelled the order. When I was in the store the person there said it was Staples.ca who cancelled the order they didn't know why. Both are throwing their hands up in the air so I get to say goodbye to 140AM.

On the plus side they did allow me to return my unopened ink for the now useless old printer.

That’s so annoying!

Wonder if our redeem miles get 30% back will post today or tomorrow… or will we need to claim missing miles? Really could use as much AM cash as I can get to redeem for Walmart gift cards for groceries which are one of our biggest monthly costs now… sigh… I remember being fully stocked on $100 a week 5 years ago!

My Redemption Event just posted

Hugs Mel

 

[Silvermist999]

The same thing happened to me. I ordered a few xmas gifts from Holt Renfrew last week. Wednesday night my order got cancelled. Checked the items, both still in stock at my closest location. And they were there, hanging on the rack when I rushed in Thursday morning to buy them. Cost me alot of air miles. Annoyed.

 

[ottawamom]

I give up and don't undestand anything anymore. After bababear posted I went to check my account. Got the redemption AM and somehow I also had the AM post for the printer (which was cancelled and I purchased instore today). Someone is watching over me.

They may still claw them back.

 

[juniorbugman]

I got the 114 miles as well for the redemption event.
I have received my AirMiles for my Black Friday Walmart purchase which I haven't recevied yet but I haven't received the miles for the Staples purchase that I have received.
My Walmart order shows as shipped but nothing yet and it says you can't track the package. The waiting goes on. Shows as shipped on Sunday.

I am still waiting for Sporting Life to post. Everything else has posted.

Woohoo I made Onyx. I haven’t been Onyx since I used to shop at Sobeys mainly from about 2017-2019 when I earned flights, hotel, and tickets for our 2019 WDW trip. So magical.

No clue when our next trip will be. At this stage of my life I’m just in it to earn AM cash to make daily life less expensive!
