Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Disney Addicted]

I went to Rexall today and my purchase become a little messed up.

While chatting with the cashier I made sure she knew I had the $50 coupon for 110 air miles. However, I didn't realize she did not scan it until *after* I paid with my AMEX. (groan). I had also purchased a $100 Visa pre-paid CC in that receipt. So, a manager had to come over to somehow void all my purchases that added up to $50, re-enter them and add in my 110 air miles. I'm not quite sure how that was done but it didn't involve refunding some money to my AMEX and than charging it again like I expected.

Anyways... I ended up with 110 from the spend $50; 10 from the $100 Visa CC; 9 bonus miles from purchases, and 2 base = $129.

We need rechargeable batteries in a big way so I will visit Rexall again tomorrow. Maybe Saturday as well.

Hi Hon
Yes you can purchase it from Rexall and get airmiles as it is a specifically offered airmiles deal.
Normally there are no airmiles allowed on gift card purchases.

I edited this post as I was wrong you can get 10 bonus airmiles with a Visa card bought at Rexall,,my apologies.

Here's the report. There is nothing to report. It's a slow week.

That's funny!

I've put off so many purchases and grocery shopping lately so it's helping now with the air miles. Metro tonight netted 162.

My son needs TWO pairs of running shoes for school. One for outdoors and one for indoors. Does anyone know a way I can get air miles on that purchase? I usually purchase them at Sports Chek since he now wears out Wal-marts runners so darn fast.

Similar issue happened to me at Rexall - I was trying to spend $30 to get bonus AM, and the cashier forgot to scan 2 dishsoaps that would have brought me just over $30, while letting me also use the $5 off $25. I didnt think, paid and realized it was only $23 or so and they refunded me, re-scanned everything... took an extra 5 minutes or so but I needed those points

Not a great Blue Friday, IMO. I think this is going to be the first Blue Friday that I'll be struggling to get 500 air miles.

Same here. There are a few things that are decently priced with bonus am but not too much to stock up on. I'm not paying 14.99 for a case of kd either just for bonus am!

 

[momof2gr8kids]

I'm drinking my coffee this morning and popping in to see my friends in the airmiles thread. I happen to be at my resort in Orlando right now. Like I do on every trip.. my thoughts are turning to "when will we be able to come back?"
I'm hoping for December 2018, but realistically it will be March 2019. It's getting much harder to plan a trip with the youngest in high school by then.

Anyway, I'm off to the MK today but I am thinking of you guys, and this thread, and I"ll be back to collecting airmiles for our next set of tickets soon!

Yes always planning the next trip before we leave! Thank goodness for am helps make it affordable. IIRC you got a good sky auction deal for your condo right? How are you liking it?

Yup, as mentioned above SportChek has an on-line presence thru the Airmilesshop portal. Just used it earlier in August to get hubby's shoes ... checked the website to find out when they were on sale, dragged him kicking and screaming into the mall to actually TRY THEM ON and then came home and ordered them! Signed up for the newsletter and that gave me a code for 10% off the purchase as well, to find that click on the "Join Our Community" at the top of the page, the email with the code shows up in about 30 minutes. Also if you've never shopped thru the portal i can refer you and then you'll earn more miles for the first 90 days.

Thank you Mel and Jacqueline. Yes, I'll do that then. I just checked their site and it looks like they have a 25% off and no tax sale going on right now. My son won't be happy at not getting his shoes today when we go out but I'll be happy with the cheaper price and a few more air miles.

At least you're not making him go to the store to try them on and then go home and order online. Not saying I've done that or anything.

I just love how fast Rexall posts their air miles. It's incredible! I wish other companies were that good about it.

Could someone tell me how long airmilesships normally take to post their bonus miles? I already received the miles from the 2 stores (Chapters & Staples), but I'm still waiting for the bonus 150 from Air Miles.

You know, I was really mad about the whole expiration of Air Miles bit and the frustration of trying to book a cruise (with friends), and then for AM to retract the expiration I was finally able to book the cruise. I had 28,113 AM saving up for 4 flights to Hawaii. Frankly I'm still fuming. The cruise should be fun (I hope, I've never been on one and the ship is not my choice). But I also had $2,000 or so saved up from surveys and $1,500 in Disney gift cards. I really wanted that trip to Aulani and just cannot see managing that again.

However, I'd love to visit Universal Studios. After AM had that 1,250 bonus miles event I started regaining interest in collecting. Especially after I did the math and realized (after converting US into CDN) I could possibly save $1,400 on tickets, $1,000+ on hotel and maybe $440 if AM brings back Blue Man Group tickets. Depending on how many AMs I can save up of course. I'm debating pushing the trip to 2019 instead (the cruise is April 2018) and adding on Animal Kingdom and Star Wars as well. I highly doubt I'll get my husband to go back to Orlando after this trip.

I'm still going to be mourning my almost Hawaiian trip for a long long time.

Oh no, you mis-understood me. That's totally my intent! LOL Otherwise I won't know which shoe he likes and fits him.

Yeah, he's not going to be a happy kid this afternoon. Man he can get grumpy and hold a grudge!

Me either. There are a few things I might try to pick up. I'm not sure how much I will purchase. Our funds are a little low with just getting home from my son's week long surgery/hospital stay and some back to school shopping. Hopefully the AM won't dry up too much until the next Blue Friday. Time will tell I guess

 

[ottawamom]

I wasn't out hunting for AM this morning, so instead I ended up going through all my sewing boxes upstairs trying to find some labels. Never did find them but I did find and old Airmiles card I don't remember having.

I thought I may just have hit the lottery so I came downstairs to my computer. Entered the #. No pin set up. This card is from 1993. It's so old it has a sticker with a bar code on the back. Set up the pin and logged in. Absolutetly no airmiles on it . I had a moment of hope but it was all soon dashed.

Now what do I do with it. Start collecting under another # for my own little gettaways, frame it or just toss the darn thing?

1st you are lucky that your Staples miles posted if there were any bonus miles included. I've never had any trouble with the base miles posting quickly but never, not ONCE have any of their bonus multipliers shown up for me without a bunch of work on my part.
If the 150 miles you're waiting for are connected to the current Back to School Event you still have a bit of time to wait -- the offer runs till September 11th and then there's 75 days before you can chase it down if they don't appear on their own (Nov 25th) Here's the fine print connected to this offer:

Offer valid from August 1 - September 11, 2017. Get 150 AIR MILES® Reward Miles on purchases of $20 CDN or more, excluding shipping, duty and taxes made at 2 or more different participating online stores. Collectors must sign in at airmilesshops.ca before purchasing in order to get the Offer. Offer is cumulative on purchases made at all participating online stores. Offer is valid on the purchase of gift cards only at online stores who regularly offer Miles on gift card purchases. Offer does not apply to purchases made at Texture by Next Issue, or made at travel online stores (including travel bookings, car rentals, and hotels). Miles will be posted to your Collector Account within 75 days post offer period.

I'd like to say a big thanks to this community for all the Air Miles related posts. I decided in mid-July to go as hard as I could to start collecting Air Miles for DLR tickets. Your tips have helped me so much! So far, I'm up at just over 1600 miles. Today, I did my first Blue Friday shop. DW needed a bunch of things from there and I ended up getting 557 Air Miles for my $151 shop, so I should be at 2200 once these post. Special thanks to Mel and Jacqueline for all their efforts in keeping me informed and up to date with the most current info...they are very appreciated.

RCSS (Ontario) has 15% sportchek gc btw, you can use them online as long as they have pins (almost all do).
