Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[marchingstar]

just checked out the safeway flyer out here in AB--next week looks like a bust to me. the odd, small air miles offers, but nothing at all that stands out as a great value.

if i'm counting right and safeway sticks to its own habit we should see another blue friday promotion soon (next week, if my crossed fingers have anything to say about it!) so i'm going to try to stretch out what we have on hand until then.

I know you will feel my joy...my Metro AM finally posted yesterday to take me over the 5900 I needed to order two of the 5-day Canadian tickets! Very happy about this!!!

I was about to write the same thing! Nothing in the Safeway or Rexall AB flyers is looking great, except maybe the Spend $100 and get 100am. Fingers crossed for Blue Friday next weekend!

I could have probably spent the 100.00 there were a few items in there...but we are heading out of town bright and early and not returning until Tuesday. So crossing my fingers for a blue Friday next week. Hopefully AM will extend their discount tickets past the 20th. Fingers crossed. Then I should be able to squeeze out one more discounted Am Disney ticket.

Good morning all My mom is a big almond milk drinker, so I am contemplating buying a bunch of the below at Thrifty's to get the airmiles. By a bunch I am meaning about $70 worth. i just want to make sure I am reading things correctly - there are no limits per transaction? It seems too easy....

HOKEY DINO! That's a pretty sweet deal, i read it exactly the same way you do -- HOWEVER pay close attention to what I've highlighted --- I've been burned by this -- it does look like you're ok but before you plop that many down on the belt you might want to check if it's gonna give you those miles. ALSO you aware that it's the larger container that's in the cooler and not the "tetra-type box" ?We've had trouble with them being both short-dated AND going bad quicker than they should. BUT yes, if you buy that many you will snag over 400 AM (70.00 is ~~ 18 boxes/2 is ...9 x 50 AM)

Thank you
Yes, I thought it might be the perishable ones! That is okay, I will still figure something out with them Those miles almost get me a flight round trip off Vancouver Island to Prince George or Kelowna to see family...so worth the $70!

Nothing in Sobeys/Foodland for me this week.
Have to check out the Rexall flyer.................Be Right Back........
Ok My sons are ........................(with me supervising)
Doing a super cleanout of my brothers home in the next two weeks and I think I can pick up quite a few cleaning products at Rexall this weekend.
So maybe a a few airmiles here.

O/T off topic
Does anyone have a good cleaning solution for grout cleaning (Kitchen floors).
I cleaned behind the stove and refrigerator a few days ago and realized the grout is white not the black like the rest of the kitchen floor grout.
Has anyone ever tried this

Just wanted to pass on some information I received today at my local Shell...I went to purchase my gift cards at Shell and was advised by the store manager that the Sobeys/Foodland/IGA gift cards are no longer part of the 7X the air miles promotion. The manager did not know why but said that they were advised that they were no longer giving the promotion on these cards...ended up getting Indigo and Best Buy.

Well I think this explains a lot of things we have seen posted. Thank you for posting!!

Another question for the experts. I went to Staples last week and bought a fitbit at $79.95. Stupidly I didn't add a pencil to take the total to $80 however that's a different story. I gave the cashier my MM coupon which she had a hard time getting to scan so she manually keyed it. The code shows correct on my receipt. I see on my airmiles account that I received 1 AM and there is no bonus 5X's showing. Should I be worried or will that come later?
I will add that I used a $50 gift card from redeeming my AM's cash balance to partially pay for the purchase but that shows as part of the payment and not part of the purchase so I don't think that would interfere.
Thanks for any ideas and help.

I scored with the Thrifty's almond milk deal - I bought 20 cartons and cleaned them out. 12 cartons went to two coworkers and a cousin, one carton is staying with me because I want my husband to try it (I think he is lactose intolerant...), the remaining 7 cartons I took to Loaves and Fishes, a really great local food bank - I was a little embarrassed about bringing in that many to them (7 cartons) but they were actually thrilled with it! Also, the coworkers insisted on paying me, even though I was actually totally okay with it

I usually fall into the 'don't buy things I don't need just to get miles boat' but this one was too freaking good to pass up

$79.80 = 503 miles!

Just checked my AM account and the 25AM for using 95 cash AM first week of May finally posted. Now I have confirmation that AM has registered 5 of my coupons so I'm just waiting for the 1250AM to post.

If you want the grout to be black like the rest of the floor you can get grout paint and paint it. I have white grout in the shower and after a while no matter what I do it isn't as white as I want it. I've painted it in the past (seals and covers).

Can I just say that I am THRILLED to have found this thread??? I have never found people who are as Air Miles crazy as I am. Air Miles got us 4 Disneyland park hoppers for our trip last February and it has gotten 5 for this upcoming trip! Next is 4 WDW tickets. I am addicted to collecting Air Miles.

Bonus Air Miles take a couple weeks to show up, and will be a separate transaction.
