Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Dollarama is back in the Card Link offers. It does say expires Dec. 18th though.

Is Costco still a card linked offer? I do not see it listed in my air miles app.

Heads up for those who like to only use carry-on for travel. Air Canada is starting to charge for it AND making you check it starting Jan 3, 2025. They are making changes to their basic and comfort fares.

Honestly, is it surprising. People are doing carry-on to avoid being charged for luggage. Meanwhile- there is limited space for all the carry-on now and it is gate checked anyways. They want to recoup some extra $$$ they are loosing out on. Which is sad.

People with all the carry-on has now made getting onto and off the plane soooooooooooooooooooooooooo painfully slow. It's like following a slow walker in the grocery store when you just want to get to your seat and get settled and set up your little nest for the next few hours. That's my little rant.

I don't think Costco was ever a card linked offer. I think it was just a classification for the grocery store category when you use your BMO MC.

Is it still and would it qualify as a parter for Shop The Block?

Can anyone let me know if they scan their receipt in are you getting it through or encountering problems?
Thanks Mel

I scanned 3 yesterday. One went through no issues. #2 I had to do an inquiry and it has now posted, #3 needed more time and it hadn't posted this morning when I looked.

Edit to add. The 3rd one was rejected even though the receipt said Bagels. I had two of one flavour and 1 of a third. I did an inquiry so hopefully that will post soon.

I highly doubt this would count since the terms don't mention miles earned in connection to simply using your MasterCard for things that are not card-linked offers.

 

[bababear_50]

6 receipts submitted and none went through ,,,all say no matches ,,, Dec 5 and 6th
no submit inquiry page available at all..................................

example:
Food Basics
Eggs
No matches ,, no inquiry available.

I just had to do chat and have them manually add 43 points BUT they will not post under my transactions as Receipt Offer.. They will side note that I did a Partner ,,,,yeah I think I need to do the survey.

Hugs Mel

Thank you that is disappointing.

one of our flights is with Porter so we won't have carry on anyway. but their personal bag size is smaller than any other at 17 by 13 by 6....so they're hard to buy but we had old bags that will do.

I hope Air Canada doesn't follow them on the size too

Check Your Linked Mastercard
My son's got D linked
My purchase yesterday at Dollarama for him won't count for STB.

I had to re link too, so if you notice the app asking you to link a card for the offers you need to as well.

Did my Petsmart order last night and the base AM and the 150 bonus posted already. Love it when it’s that easy.
STB offer 1 done.

I am giving up on this card link thing as I have tried to link upteen thousand times and every time it shows as now the "go reward yourself message" and every time I look at the card link offers it says link your card.
I chatted with AirMiles yesterday and she has reported it to the service department as she had issues linking her card but her co-workers didn't. She said to keep my receipt and to fight for the miles if it doesn't post.

Edited to add that I am still going to do my $30 shop at Dollarama but I will do it next week. Today I am going to shop there but just use my Dollarama gift card that I received as a gift.

Thank you that is disappointing.

Definitely worth a call.

My Michaels purchase, picked up instore, posted under 48 hours. Thought I'd mention it for those that have been having issues with Michaels posting. I will say though, I have never had a problem with this store posting, only another one. Hard to tell if it was a store issue or an airmiles issue but it did post for me today, purchased Dec 4.

 

[Silvermist999]

My Staples order posted today, purchased on Dec4th. I missed out on the 150AM by ordering one day early.

I did the exactly the same thing!

Just want to mention Air Canada's no carryon bag policy is matching what WestJet and Porter have already done, their bottom level tickets do not allow carryons.

Just hope to confirm …
If I redeem 95 cash miles when making an eligible purchase at Pharmasave, I would have gotten 2 STB transactions done, right?
TIA!
