Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[bababear_50]

sooooooooooooooooooooooooo....... I picked up 6 yogurts and was worried what my kids would say when I got home soooooooo....I detoured to visit my sister who was not home........ I called her and they went away to the trailer BUT she gave me here house code and I left a few (six) containers of yogurt for her family.
Now I am thinking I should go back and get a few more,,lol,lol.

St Hubert soup is back at $2.49 a can ---- buy two and get 10 airmiles.
Motts strawberry/applesauce 6 in a pack are ----- buy 2 get 10 airmiles.

I got home and the sons want to go shopping at Rexall.................... oh boy they always drive me crazy at Rexall.

Happy shopping everyone.
Hugs Mel

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

I just wanted to say Hi and say welcome home.
Take alittle time for yourself.

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?

I say ...........................
it's always nice to have an extra special *mine* airmiles card.

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.

Yes, that's the one! I don't know why, but I thought the offer was only valid for a couple of weeks. I received the 1 base mile for Staples but there were no bonus miles attached to the order - just the 150 back-to-school event. Thanks!

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

Thanks!

Sent my husband and daughter for Blue Friday while I'm at work and earned 306 Airmiles. It should have been 350 so I'm not sure if it was Safeway or my family that missed an offer
Both my online Airmilesshops orders airmiles have credited so now I just wait for my 150 from that promo.

Not my best Blue Friday, but spent $143 and got 677 air miles. Made a nice little donation of Chunky Soup and granola bars to the food bank, so I'm happy with that.

Oh my gosh - details! How did you earn 677 air miles on $143?? Inquiring minds NEED to know!

Lol - okay, here are the highlights:

For the food bank
Quaker Granola Bars - $1.99 each, buy 10 get 100AM = bought 20 for 200AM, cost $39.80
Chunky Soup - $2.89, buy 5 get 50AM = bought 5, cost $14.45

For our house
Lysol Wipes - $3.99, buy 4 get 50AM = bought 4, cost $15.96
Purina Cat Food - $6.99, buy 2 get 40AM = bought 2, cost $13.98
Saran Wrap/Zip Lock Bags - $3.29, buy 4 get 50AM = bought 4, cost 13.16
Black Diamond Cheese Shred/Sliced - $4.99, buy 3 get 50AM = bought 3, cost $14.97
Nestle Ice Cream & Novelties - $4.99, buy 4 get 100AM = bought 4, cost $19.96
Smart Water 1L (not on Blue Friday) - $2.19, buy 3 get 15AM = bought 3, cost $6.57
Dasani Water 1L (not on Blue Friday) - $1.65, buy 3 get 15AM = bought 3, cost $4.95

Bonus coupon of spend $100, get 100AM.
So, I spent $144.64 before tax and deposits (I was off on my initial comment of $143 ), 7 base AM earned, grand total of 677 air miles.

I should add - on Blue Fridays I try to donate approx. $50 to the food bank. During the year, the food bank gets our donations, and at Christmas time, we donate to the Humane Society. Works out the about the same amount for each.

Wow, that's great! Looking at your list I figured I could get 500 AM for just over $100 then. I assumed this was for Metro but my flyer says spend $100 get 60 AM, not 100 AM. Then I was going to ask what Blue Friday is but googled it and came up with an 2016 ad for Safeway regarding *yesterday*! Is Safeway where you shopped? I was kicking myself just a few minutes ago but I tried their locator and we don't seem to have a Safeway in the GTA. I ended up looking at the entire list of stores since the postal code/city search didn't seem to work. As far as I can tell the closest is in Thunder Bay. Just over 950 km away... (wry grin)

Sorry, I should have clarified - I'm in Calgary. Unfortunately for those in the east, the Sobey's/Safeway Blue Friday is something they've been doing about every four weeks in the west since last December (I think). I believe they consider Thunder Bay to be a part of their western region.

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

Just want to add that RCSS (Ontario) has 10% off Chapters gcs until Sept 13 as well. You can use them with the airmilesshops.ca 150am promo ending Sept 11.

I have made 5 AirMilesShops transactions this July/August.

1 with Dyson where I am still waiting for the 70AM to post (from end of July!)

2 with Gap - of which one posted right away and the other one didn't (but that's OK as I returned that one)

1 with The Body Shop - which posted right away

1 with Weight Watchers online - which posted about a week after


I'm so frustrated that the Dyson miles (base or bonus, as it was 10x when I ordered) still didn't post! They need a better system.

What is this promo? I've been on vacation so I'm trying to catch up and don't remember seeing anything about this one. Would love to know, thanks.

 

[TheZue]

Any idea when they will release the 2018 Disneyland tickets?

You need to shop twice on-line to earn 150 bonus AM. Each week there have been 4 stores that are offering 10X the miles as well ... i provided the details in this post

A head's up to anyone who does the on-line surveys for AM (and if you don't why not ??? ) I keep an e-mail invite in my inbox and regularly click on it because it tends to open a NEW survey, the miles post fairly quickly as well. Doesn't net many per survey but it does add up, this is just from last week (using a link i got on the 29th)

Than you so much! I actually placed an order from Sephora (a 10X store) yesterday. Now, since I'm aware of the 150 bonus, I just placed an order through Amazon (another 10X store). How much better could it be????
Again, BIG thanks for your help. I just scored a bunch of air miles from it!

 

[kimstang]

Question about the 150 bonus Airmiles shopping twice deal. I just completed a Gap purchase and now I want to do an Old Navy purchase. Do you think that will qualify as 2 different stores? Since they are the same company, even the checkout shopping bag online shows both places.
