@purple hippo would you mind posting what you find out about upgrading the AM SW ticket here (in case you get your answer form another source)

 

[damo]

So apparently I was wrong.....I could make $100 at Sobeys. Got cookies and sliced meat along with some loaded offers. Spent $102.45 and earned 305 miles but that includes the bonus 150 from the email.

Wish I had gotten that email.

I was just on the AM site about to buy my SW tickets and figured if I can't upgrade to DC I can still upgrade to a Fun Pass more than likely. Well I think I found my answer and I don't like it.

Not sure how to post a screen shot, but if you look under the Terms and Conditions for the Sea World Tickets it says:

No exchanges. No upgrades. Non-refundable. No cash value. Not valid in conjunction with any other discount.


Valid for 9 months from time of purchase.

I get the impression we won't be able to put the ticket value towards a Fun Pass or a Discovery Cove trip.

Now I'm debating as to whether I should buy my SW tickets with AM or risk not going or waiting to see if/what deals they offer on Blue (Black) Friday. My plan is to go on New Years Eve and spend all day and that night at SW. I am expecting it will be busy and since we are staying at a partner hotel over New Year's Eve weekend I just want an option to be able to go for more than one day.

Ugh our local flyer for Safeway is just awful.
Nothing on actual sale, just re-working quantities and measurement units to make it LOOK like a sale...
And hardly any AM products this week.
Maybe next week's specials will be better.

the cashier at Rexall today told me I had to spend $55+ to use the $5 off $25 coupon, and only then would I get the 113 AM! No way. That applies as payment. Unless they are changing the rules, it's always worked when I use it to spend $45+ instead of $50+ to get the AM bonus!

Same here! The cashier told me the same thing and I told her to try and see. She checked my receipt for airmiles and said nothing. The 113 AM was on the receipt with another 20 AM from Tylenol Cold. The $5 is used as cash payment towards the purchase not as a discount off the subtotal. I hope Rexall will never change this!

I don't know for sure for the folks in Ontario, but I'm expecting blue friday in alberta this week. Safeway out here always has "customer appreciation" the first tuesday of the month, and it seems like blue friday is always the friday before. that's how i keep track. now depending on the calendar for the month, that could mean every 4th or 5th friday, but since the spring i'm pretty sure it's always been the friday before the first tuesday of the month.

Sadly I think it was the cashier... he is there every time I go!

Went to Metro yesterday and spent over $80 before tax but the airmiles bonus did not show up on the receipt. (Spend 80 get 40 bonus airmiles) Anyone else had this issue? I've kept my receipt and took a screen shot of the promo.

I think it's the last Friday of the Month. I'm thinking it's this Friday too. They don't usually have great bonus miles on weekends when everyone has to shop anyways, so I don't think it's Thanksgiving weekend.

Those bonuses at Metro never come on the receipt. They are added later.

Rexall's coupon was late this week -- but it's not much to get excited about if you shopped on the weekend. Question for everyone, did you get FEWER LoadnGo offers this week? I usually have 11 and then my targeted threshold spend (which this week is pathetic, spend $10 get 20, not worth my time to go !) this week i only have 5 + my threshold spend.

Spend $50.00 get 80 AM valid Sept 25th - 28th

Yes...I'm thinking it is this weekend as well. As it is usually with the week of customer appreciation days. I hope it's this weekend, when I can stock up...as we are heading to Calgary for the long weekend to visit the daughter and I won't be able to shop like I would for the long weekend. Fingers crossed here

I've got 11 Load and Go offers, one of which is the targeted spend offer (spend $60 get 100am), so combined with the email coupon is a better deal for me than the spend $50 get 113 am. There's a few things I'll pick up from the L&G offers as well, so it should be a decent Rexall haul for me this week. Keeping my fingers crossed for Blue Friday this weekend!

THAT is the offer i expected this week and why i didn't press to hit up Rexall yesterday .. but now? I spend $50.00 and I'll only get 90 AM and NOTHING, not one thing in my targeted offers is anything i have ever bought

 

[Days In the Sun]

I have 7 load and go offers this week, I usually get just the main one, perhaps because I rarely use the others??

I received 11 as well. Also got the spend $50, get 100 AM. I had already decided to wait till Tuesday (seniors day) to get the $10 gift card offer. Plus, it doesn't hurt that you get 20% off regular priced merchandise. Win Win.

Awesome! thanks for that link! Every little bit helps!

Now that the Canadian 'cheap' AM Park Hoppers are done, it went from 3500AM (old regular AM amount) for an adult 5DayPH to 4095!! An extra 500 to scrape up. I'm hoping I'll have enough AM by the time my cut-off arrives (end November). I'm sitting at around 2493AM right now, so with luck I'll get there... it's only an extra 1600 or so... and if I can get 250AM/week.. that's 7 weeks so I should be able to make it. Then I only need to buy one more before we go and we're set.

I received an e-mail from AMEX "Shop & Dine for your chance to win a $20,000 travel voucher". Every eligible purchase made at participating merchant locations between September 25 - November 2, 2017 earns 1 entry.

Link to rules: http://email.americanexpress.com/a/hBZyXxpAQB6DpB9gTPYNtXLH8rW/amex11

It had a link to "register now" and seemed to automatically be linked to/recognized my AMEX card # as it did not ask me to type it in. When I clicked on it a second time, it said I already registered.

Check your e-mails.
