Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Donald - my hero]

Don't worry - it hasn't started yet! I thought the same thing too when I saw the page as it says the promo has ended, but actually it hasn't started yet. It starts August 1.

Figured out why i didn't get the heads up for this offer ....

Just back from Safeway - I put through 3 orders for a total of $336 and 1115 air miles, and my daughter put through 3 orders totaling $350 and 1070 airmiles!

Happy Blue Friday indeed!

 

[Pumpkin1172]

I did a Blue Friday shop also...I spent 115 and got 496 AM. I will probably go back and snag more ice cream treats yet today. I just don't need another 100.00 shop to get the extra 100 AM. We don't use many of the items that were on special this time...so I will happily walk away with the Am I collected today. Working on my Rexall shop for tomorrow when we visit the daughter tonight

I put through 3 orders for a total of $336 and 1115 air miles

That's a great score!!! We just don't use some of the items that were on there. I almost wish we had little ones in diapers again...I would totally get more diapers for AM!!!!

oops, i mean 626 miles.

I have the basic card and I haven't received any email re this promotion yet. Just happened to find it by accident.

I also have the platinum card and didn't get an email on the last promo so I wouldn't expect one for this one either. I did get a card via snail mail about it but someone had already posted here about it at that point. I bookmarked the web page with the sign in and offer details and have been checking it every few days for the last week or so. It has been showing the last offer until I checked this morning. Still nothing to sign up for but it now says coming soon.

As far as where is says eligible to basic card members.....the last one also said that and I got the bonus on June 10th. I purchased another $200 worth of gift cards at Shell on June 4 which was still eligible for the Shell 7X in store offer and used my Amex to pay for them.

Heads Up
My Sobeys pulled the St Huberts soups/broth signs down and said the promotion ended.

I tried scanning 3 cans in and NO airmiles.The price was still coming up the sale price of 1.99 each.
They would not honour the sale even though countless employees told me the sale would be on till Aug 10th.


SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...................................
I went home and got my (flyer and Rain check) and went back,
Spoke with a very nice manager and bought 4 cases of soup.
960 airmiles.
Lesson learned
1. get a raincheck
2. have them indicate the airmiles on rain check
3. go high for quantity of product wanted.
Manager said he is not sure whats going on as they have tons of cases of the soup in the stock room. Alot more driving around than I intended for today but worth it.
Happy Shopping

I am wondering if one of my fellow AM hunters could go on airmiles and check to see if they can see the flight I am hoping to book for next May. It's Orlando to Ottawa (one way) May 12, Air Canada flight 1263, leaves Orlando 12:55pm arrives Ottawa after 4:00pm. I'm not certain if it's not available at this time or if I'm just being prevented from seeing it.

Thanks in advance.

Yes. It was on the second page. I don't have enough points, so the [Onyx] cost for me was 316.04

Interesting enough, I don't see this flight listed. I am Onyx and its not there. I also don't have a second page. The only Air Canada flights that pull up for me are stop overs.

ETA-- The flight is there IF I make it a cash transaction and not use airmiles. it is then, as Debbie posted, for a cost of $316.04 so it looks like it can't be purchased with miles just yet.

For me the flight is not there AT ALL, even if i use cash .. HOWEVER I am seeing a non-stop AC flight that departs Ottawa at 9 am, arriving in Orlando at 12:10 for 1680 Miles

 

[ottawamom]

Thanks guys (gals). I can see it as well if I do a cash purchase. I just can't see it (yet!) using AM to pay for it. I was just afraid (paranoid) that they might be playing games with me because I purchased 5 one way to Orlando using AM a few weeks ago. I can see the AM reward for the flight the week before (May 5). I guess I just need to be a little more patient. I watched a rerun of the Marketplace expose on Airmiles again last night. I know they've changed their ways in many respects perhaps just not all.

 

[hdrolfe]

Checking flights drives me nuts. If I look at paying with AM I see some, different if it's round trip vs one-way. If I want to pay cash for one, or for both, different sets of flights! Crazy... One person vs two... It's hard to keep track!

Stopped at Sobeys. Made the mistake of taking kiddo... came home after spending twice what I wanted! And only got 36 AM for my efforts. May have to go to Rexall this week, but I spent all my money at Sobeys! We do have 3 bags of cookies and 4 bags of chips now though...

 

[momof2gr8kids]

That's what mine is saying as well however we received them already. Hopefully yours will be in todays mail.

Nope. I did get my Disney ticket that I ordered 3 days later... but that was sent ups. Crossing my fingers for Monday.

 

[mkmommy]

I went to a Foodland in Wiarton and they had the St Hubert's chicken stock buy 3 get 60 AM's. Did not show up on the receipt so had to get it manually added.

 

[kuhltiffany]

Another site I'm on reported that it's still on but changed, you now have to buy 6 cans to get the 50 AM...

Heads Up
My Sobeys pulled the St Huberts soups/broth signs down and said the promotion ended.

I tried scanning 3 cans in and NO airmiles.The price was still coming up the sale price of 1.99 each.

Thanks for posting that Hon.
Hmmm...well its nice that they still are offering it with some airmiles,,, but I am glad I got the ones I did at 3 at 1.99 each = 60 airmiles.
I have officially spent all I can on the Food Drive in my area.
No more soup for me.

[kuhltiffany]

I volunteer at our local Food Bank every week, last sorting day we had so much St. Hubert soup! We sure don't mind!

I had to run out last night and decided that since I was already out and in the area I would stop in at Sobeys and get more soup. I bought 9 cans (all of it going in the food bank box) and I only got 60 AM on the receipt. The sign for buy 3 was still up so I got them added at customer service. Now that I see it looks like the offer is changing I wish I had bought a few more. Oh well....I think in total I have now bought 27 cans. I have to go out today and feed a friends cat maybe I will go back to Sobeys just to see if they changed the signs or not. I did happen to notice that the sign says it's valid until Aug 10.
