Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[bababear_50]

So I just finished my Christmas shop 2017 for fellow staff members--I stock pile $125.00 in starbucks cash and then go into a starbucks and get 25 $5.00 gift cards.(I am good to go)
As soon as my Mega Miles posts I will have enough starbucks cash for my March 2018 trip.
Now I need to make a new wish list for my airmiles,,,Hmmmmmm time to scan the airmiles site for rewards.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Hugs Mel

Debbie, can you not just purchase the 8 missing miles from Airmiles. I know you need to do them in blocks of 10? but that might be worth looking into. Would allow you to get your park ticket today.

Thanks. I hadn't checked that. You have to buy in blocks of 100, so I could buy the 5 day for $30 and the 7 day for $120. Since I already have tickets, I am going to ♫ let it go, ♫ let it go ♫. It's a want and not a need, ♫ and I'll be able to use the points for flights, rental cars or even other tickets in the future.

Please enlighten me! How can this be done? Do you use the egiftcard to buy in-store gift cards. This would be wonderful!

I have a hunch the WDW AM tickets will be on sale for awhile... the DL ones haven't sold out yet... unless AMs purchases them differently for WDW (aka at the time of redemption)

Has anyone seen Lowes gift cards at Shell?

 

[ottawamom]

I need another one of those Sobey's/Foodland GC promotions next week. I'm down to my last $150 GC. Let's all put our wishing caps on wish that into reality. We haven't seen one since the end of March.

Hi Hon
I have a starbucks gift card that I got a few years ago from someone.
I just went to the starbucks web site and registered it.
https://www.starbucks.ca/
Each time I get 95 airmiles cash I can redeem it for a Starbucks e-voucher for 10.00 . When the e voucher is sent to my email there is an option to just add it to your existing starbucks card--which is what I do.
I then just take my card and go to my local starbucks and get 25 $5.00 cards.
Hope that explains it better.
So in answer to your comment/question yes I use e-gift card to buy instore gift cards.
I have also been known to send "treats" to my sons and grand daughter by entering their email address . This option is offered on the airmiles web site when you are purchasing your e-voucher.

Hugs Mel

so went to safeway today...

The cashier told me it will be Blue friday next week! WOOT WOOT!


i spent $130 and got 243 airmiles... spend 100 get 100, my load and go was spend 100 get 30, got a bunch on cereal deals (buy 3 get 30) and then some misc stuff in store. Not bad but I have done better. Since spending them all to book our trip I'm already back up to 897 airmiles since Apr 25! I need 3350 for the van rental so I should make it especially with the megamiles bonus and not kidding, we've had some big charges this month (home insurance) hit the cc so I'm excited to see what I'll get on my BMO card this statement cycle lol

Anyone hear if there is going to be a Metro deal? Someone had mentioned it way back in this thread that there might be a MM Metro something or other towards the end of the month.

I've got my 5 deals done but would like to have one extra for insurance!

Thanks Mel! It means I need to get a gift card first. DD has an account. Can I load the evouchers to her account and then use her account to get the in-store gift cards? I just redeemed $200 in Starbucks evouchers. I was planning to use them at WDW. However, it seems to be better use in getting gift cards for Christmas.

Thanks for sharing best practices in effective use of AM!

 

[marchingstar]

well with the eve of the canadian discount expiry looming, i just cashed in a nice pile of air miles for another set of WDW tickets! i thought i was done and just building my miles up, but i talked things over with my partner and we decided that we know we'll use the tickets so it's worth having a few sets around.

I've got to say while it was great to be able to use the Starbucks card at Disney, the line-ups in the store were soooo long. I ended up just walking by them most of the time.

Thanks for the heads up! That's why it's great to find out other ways to use the evouchers.

Are there Blue Friday deals in Ontario?

 

[momof2gr8kids]

When was the Disneyland deal supposed to end? I'm hoping the DW deal sticks around on the AM site for a bit too.

Well, I went to Sobeys this morning to redeem 95 cash miles for $10 (Nothing to load for this to qualify for MM, right? ) The sign at the cash said I would get 25 bonus miles for this too - but none showed up on my receipt. The cashier called someone who told him it will show up in my airmiles account within 18 days.

Does Sobeys offer load&go or other printable coupons?

Those 25 AM will show up in your account "soon-ish" If you showed the coupon from the MM booklet and you haven't used an offer at Sobeys yet then yes, it will count towards your 5 coupons.

Sobyeys/Foodland has what's called "My Offers" You need to sign up for this programme and then every week go in and load them to your card.
