I need that 92 cash miles for the MM Sobey's coupon. I want to switch back to dream miles for some online purchases. I will do the purchases tomorrow then. Thanks again for the prompt reply!

Your Rexall points should post in the morning then. If you've already got at least 3 Air Miles in your Cash balance your should be good to go!

I need some advice please.

I just went to Shell and am not sure I did it properly.

Because I had to go in-store to scan the MegaMiles coupon, I went in and asked to put $30 of gas (~26L) into my van. He scanned the MM coupon but the receipt just shows Promo 940 with a 0 amount. So it doesn't show my 10AM for MegaMiles bonus. Worried that I did it wrong by prepaying a $ amount instead of pre-authorizing a purchase up to $30.

At the same time, I bought a $100 Sobeys gift card. The 7x the AM doesn't show on the receipt either.

Is your airmiles number (last 4 digits) on the receipt ? It should be if it was scanned.

Nevermind, it probably was, I see the airmiles line.
The promo940 line means the MM was scanned, it's always 0 on my receipts.

Not sure why your Sobey's gift card didn't show points. It should have.

MM was scanned...that's good. But did I meet the condition of purchasing at least 25L of gas? I think Shell only a few days to post, right? I'll keep checking.

I am bummed the 7x the miles are not showing. I was going to go back to buy a lot more Sobeys GCs.

Sobeys shopping report

Purchased 40 boxes of Nature Valley granola bars - 3 for $5 for a total of $75.03 and 3 AM.

Before the cashier rang me up, I asked if it would be OK running all 40 through or if I would need to do them 10 at a time. She said we would try. The 150 AM bonus did not post on the receipt. The manager got involved - I had the flyer with the promo opened to the right page. She checked it and then went to the aisle to double check the signage there. Then, she gave me 600AM through Make It Right. They were so nice about it!

So spent $75 and got $63 worth of AM back. Plus 4% back ($3) on my Scotiabank Amex. Pretty sweet!!

We definitely can't eat all these granola bars though so we will be donating most to our local food bank. I donate anyway so this was well worth it to me.

Went to Sobeys last night. Picked up yogurt, granola bars and cheerios. Of course, the 150 didn't show on the receipt.
When I visited the service desk, the girl gave me the dirtiest look and I immediately got my back up. Ready to fight for my miles.
Turns out, another supervisor took home the ring of Make It Right tags and the only one in the store was a value of one AM. She stood there and scanned then pushed 2 buttons in sequence 150 times.
No wonder she gave me a dirty look! lol

I'm lookin for some opinions please. I am considering ordering a single 5 day WDW pass before the Canadian offer expires. I thought my DD was going this summer with a friend and now she probably is not. We might be going at Christmas but we might opt to go to the islands instead to get the hot weather. So in short no trip is planned but I'm sure we will go at some point (we have gone to WDW at least once a year for the last 13 years) but normally a 3 day pass is what we would use. Should I order a ticket to put away for the future even though it's probably too many days? I can't remember what AM used to charge for a 3 day.

I have plenty of AM.....about 15,000 right now with at least another 1000 coming within the next month.

What are your thoughts?

Hi hon
I just looked up my 3 day pass bought with airmiles in Aug 2016 and it was 3350 airmiles.

Walt Disney World Resort Florida 3-DayMagic Your Way Base Ticket - Adult =3350 airmiles.

I would hate to say wait and see what airmiles does as what if they don't list any tickets but I kind of feel alot of people utilize this reward so i think they will continue to do so.
JMHO
P.S I love they 3 day pass as it is just perfect for my touring needs, I am hoping they bring it back.
Best wishes

promo 940 is the correct air miles promo. No points posted on my receipt for that promo either

I think you just identified the gas problem. The MM is when you pay for 25l of gas in-store. You paid for $30 of gas in-store but the system couldn't check how many litres of gas you are getting. I'm guessing nowhere on the receipt does it show the litres??? Usually the receipt does.

No idea on the gc, either gc no longer works, am wasn't scanned or gas issue threw it off.

I'm out today to get gas and likely gc, I'll post if it doesn't work.

Editing: just bought gas and $50 gc, 46am as usual.

Current price for a Canadian Resident 5-day base ticket is USD 255 (+tax). The price for a 3-day base ticket (not available under the Canadian Resident offer) is USD 289 (+tax).

All regular ticket prices have gone up since Air Miles last offered them. I can't say for sure what they're going to do, but I think it's very likely that if they do offer the 3-day ticket again, it will "cost" more (in Air Miles) than the current 5-day ticket, which is based on the lower-priced Canadian Resident offer. If you know you will use the ticket, even if only for three days, I think you're best to pick it up now. Air Miles aside, even buying a 4-day CDN ticket now at $244 is better than buying a 3-day ticket later at $289 (or higher).

That's what I used for a quick trip in January. I 'bought' 2-3 day WDW tickets for DH and myself, and a Univeral 2 day PH for myself. Sis and I went 1 day to Universal, and we did the 3 days at Disney. It was perfect for that quick trip....and all for "free". My fingers are crossed that they will continue to redeem the discounted tickets until they run out. Too much to ask??

All good points. I suppose my worry is redeeming my hard earned miles for something that right now I have no use for. KWIM?

I just received my (2) 2 day Park to Park Universal tickets. I am decidedly underwhelmed by them. They are just paper tickets that I have to sign and counter sign. I was expecting something more like the Disney tickets. They will be functional but that is about all. Definitely need a ziplock to keep them in.

Is this what everybody else has received from Airmiles?

 

[Spotthecat]

Okay...totally random question...if you bring a Toys R US 50$ gift card that you found at Metro...but did not activate at Metro...can you bring that card to Shell to purchase and activate? Would they let you buy and activate a gift card that's not on their turnstiles???

 

[Mickey&JoshNut]

When does the 7X the AM end at Shell? I need gas and was thinking of buying one of the Sobey's gift cards....I am wondering if I could wait until tomorrow of if I should stop on my way home from work...thanks in advance
