We couldn't pass up such a great deal so we pulled up Google map, found the closest Foodland to our hotel ... bought the last 2 jars of relish --- spent $3.98 and snagged the 75 AM

I have a question about the Hudson's Bay coupon. I see it expires on the 30th, but does anyone know the date it took effect? DH and I were at the bay last weekend, he bought two suits and I bought a couple of blouses. I forgot my HBC Rewards card, so they said to keep the receipt and bring it back with the card to get credited for the purchases. I wonder if they'd allow the current coupon too. Might be worth a try.

Before the Canadian discount a 7 day base ticket was 3775AM (adult)

Not that it's news to most of you here but I think I may need and intervention. I am thinking of going back to Foodland and picking up more of those relishes next week. I think I may be seriously addicted to AM collecting

@mort1331 , the relish deal is one for you. They are paying you to pick it up. 1.99x2 get 75AM

First time poster here - did you know that some Foodlands are open today? I know that the Whitby store is open as well as the store in Haliburton

80 jars of relish for a 5 day ticket = $159.20 for a 5 day ticket. Canadian. $119.70 USD.
The west gets Blue Friday, we get pickles.

Couldn't resist posting this lol.

I popped into Rexall after picking the boy up at school. Spent $65, got 217AM including both the coupon and load and go offer.

Awesome. Mine are posted from yesterday, got to love Rexall!

Not so crazy....IMO. I was considering paying OOP for a park ticket for my DD for a trip she might be taking in the summer with a friend. I might need the AM that I currently have for our Xmas trip. If I could find 80 jars of relish I get the ticket for my DD for VERY cheap and the relish would go to the food bank. Sounds like a win win.

I ventured out to RExall last night and spent $80.70 and earned 235 AM. Which have already posted. I could have had another 15 or 20 but a couple of items I bought scanned at a lower price than I expected which was bellow a spend X get X miles on those items. It was a long day at work and I just couldn't be bothered dealing with it.

I have no answer for this question other than the date on my e-mail which is April 12th. Now will they actually let us USE it? That will depend on the clerk you get but i wouldn't get my hopes up because i know that all of the promotions for the Bay (directly from the Bay) usually have some sticky conditions about retroactive use. Worse they can say is no, so why not just try?

Woo-hoo! I just checked my AM account and I got a 1000 point bonus from Foodland from a few weeks ago. Moved me from 831 to 1865 Love those jumps!
DH was reading the Foodland ad and asked about sweet pickles. I only like dill so that's what I bought. Apparently my arm is being twisted to go back and buy sweet pickles.

I'm so jealous of all these amazing air miles offers! We could only wish to get half of these on the East Coast!

 

[watsonslte]

Thanks for the welcome and reply! I guess I should've asked how long it takes for the Foodland points to load. I've kind of jumped on this pickle train and don't want to get caught with not being able to use them on the Discounted Canadian tickets!!

 

[disneybound08]

I understand the advice about cashing in miles for tickets as soon as you have enough for one ticket (in case number of miles required increases) but do the tickets have an expiry date? I had heard that newer tickets will need to be used within a certain time frame.

I used it yesterday with my purchase. I will let everyone know if it shows up. The normal points transferred...not sure how long it will take for the 100 points. I never trust those things.

thanks for the information about the pickles AM deal at Foodland...I had never heard of a Foodland before so I searched and found one near me....online it said it would be open today so I drove over and there is a big sign on the door that said they are closed. There were a lot of people going to the door...so I wonder if they had planned to be open but were forced to close due to it being a stat holiday....I will try tomorrow morning to see if they have any pickles left...I also like the idea of buying and donating to the local food bank.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I have found in the past, The Bay posts the bonus miles within reasonable times.

Pickles purchased before the close of business Saturday the 15th should be posted to your account by Thursday/Friday the 20/21. Depending on where your store is it might be an additional week. Mine are always the Thursday after the week I buy them. Sobey's and Foodland collect all AM Sunday-Saturday and post them the following week (usually)

 

[marchingstar]

aw shucks, I love pickles! I wish we had Foodland out here in AB--I'd happily bring home a nice little pile of pickled goodness.

(of course not complaining too much, because Blue Friday's are a nice haul for miles too) Happy hunting, ON friends!

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

My Sobeys miles haven't posted from last weekend yet. They are typically every Thursday as well.

My wife has already threatened me if I bring home a skid, I will be sleeping on the skid. But yes I plan on picking up a few and making donations to the food bank with them.
