25 Bonus Air Miles for taking their educational quiz!

NOTE: I took this and at the end it said I would receive 10 bonus air miles within 90 days, instead of the 25 air miles it first says. I then went to chat to point this out and the AM Rep credited my account with 15 miles right away to make up the difference.

this link leads me to the travel section of the AirMiles web site. Is this where you mean us to go? I don't see any quiz.

 

[Disney Addicted]

Yes. When I click on the link I see it. The photo with someone's feet sticking out over the ocean. It says "Take travel protection on vacation too!". Underneath it says "take part in our education quiz and you can get 25 Bonus Miles"

Thank you, I just did it and got 10 AM's as well. I'm certainly happy to make 10 AM in 30 seconds.

You're welcome!

It's suppose to be 25 miles and then switches to saying 10 air miles. So maybe hit up Air Miles chat and show them the discrepency. I did and they credited me with the difference of 15 air miles right away.

I'm actually on Chat right now and Amanda doesn't seem to want to do anything for me so I'm guessing I will only get the 10. Will wait and see how it ends but I think she is doing about 10 other chats at the same time so mine doesn't seem to important to her. Lol.

ETA--Amanda finally did credit me with the missing 15 AM however she said the offer said 'up to' 25 AM's and it was an offer from the company, not from AM directly. Thanks again Disney Addicted, that was a sweet 25 AM's.

Just updated the first post with the links for the few flyers that go live on Thursdays (Sobeys & Foodland Atlantic & Metro) and changed the title of the thread to reflect the first page of this week's offers. Just wanted to mention that both of the offers mentioned this morning are actually in the first post -- the flu email alert & the travel survey and when i checked the survey and my notes it was 10 AM bonus before so you earned an extra 15, SWEET!

Just a rant, I just want to vent.

RANT ON: I don't normally shop at Rexall since they tend to have ridiculous pricing but if the Airmiles deals are good I will sometimes venture in. I went into Rexall today for the Load and Go/Coupon offer of 100 airmiles (each) for $50 (200 Airmiles total for $50, count me in!)

I purchased enough that I would be very close either over or under to the $50 with the intention that if I was a few cents under I could just add some gum at the counter but when I went up it came to just over $70. I was confused but thought maybe I had just mistaken a price on some of the pills I bought and ignored it until I checked my bill and noticed I was charged for 2 boxes of condoms (lol) that I definitely didn't buy so I went back and had those refunded but then I checked the receipts and I will be .40 cents shy of the $50 needed for the promo. They said I couldn't add anything on now since it would have needed to be done at one time. I said that was fine, they could just refund everything and I would rebuy it and they refused and said they couldn't help me. So annoyed. It's not a waste of money persay as I will use everything I bought but everything was so overpriced I probably could have saved like $20 going elsewhere, and no airmiles!

Boo! No more Rexall for me.

I just finished a love chat with Jasantha and she was so very lovely! Helpful, prompt and polite...and she even credited me 25 for the survey plus she said I would still see the 10!

I would have told them to refund everything and then walked out of the store and gone to another Rexall.

That's exactly what I would have done too. My Rexall is very accommodating. The other week I had a load and go for $60 and a coupon for $50. However, I had forgotten that my load and go was for $60 and only spent just over $50. Unfortunately, I didn't check my receipt until I was in the car. I realized what I had done and went back in the store. They refunded everything and I purchased another $10 of stuff and they rang it all through again. No issues at all.

I agree!

No reason why they cannot do it, unless the store was extremely busy and there was a huge lineup of customers behind you.

@Raimiette - Definitely go back (when it's less busy, if that's the reason) OR head to another Rexall with your coupon and have them refund everything and reprocess to get your air miles.

 

[isabellea]

I just got a very interesting e-mail from AM: Fill twice (minimum 25L) at Shell between Oct 5-15th and get 50AM. On the coupon it says at Shell locations in Quebec but keep your eyes open in case they have it for your part of the country!

OOH yeah, she's one of my FAVOURITE people to get! She was able to credit me with the extra 110 AM for my missed LoadnGo offer. Be sure you go to FB messenger (if you have access to that either thru the app or on your computer) to let them know. The comment will get passed onto her supervisor !

 

[Donald - my hero]

I agree with the others @Raimiette you should track this down! Take the stuff back to another store and get your miles --- BTW it was spend $50.00 get 110 AM so that's 220 you missed. THEN, go into a chat session, either thru the Airmiles site or via Facebook and let them know which store (the number will be on the receipt) because they need to know that one of their sponsors isn't willing to work with customers.

I think it really depends on the person you get at the cash. Which sadly is the case anywhere now. Some people are willing to help you out and others are not at all. I've had a similar experience at my Rexall. Was busy chatting with the cashier and didn't pay attention to the screen as she was ringing it all through. When I got out to the car I looked at the receipt and saw that I was 44 cents short of the minimum spend. I went back in, explained and asked how we could fix it. The cashier said to just buy something to put me over the threshold and then she would add the miles. She processed my 88 cent purchase and then put through the miles. It was done the same way they do it at Sobeys...courtesy miles or make it right miles or whatever they call it.

 

[bababear_50]

Oh my goodness you all must be on the airmiles web site cashing in on that survey because I can't get logged in,,lol.
I guess I am fortunate that my Rexall even calls codes on me --(yeah I'm the strange lady with a pen paper,coupons and calculator--),Then someone races to my aisle and says oh it's just the airmiles lady.lol.
They have been great with me .They even keep a stack of Nosh & Co chips by the cashier so I can add a quick bag of chips to the order if needed. Yes I know 10 lbs by Christmas.
Mississauga Location Derry and 10th Line.
Hugs Mel

P.S.
(I have returned a whole order and had it re rung in and they just called another cashier while this was being done). I absolutely would chat with airmiles about this and see what they offer as advise or compensation.

(I have returned a whole order and had it re rung in and they just called another cashier while this was being done)..

I haven't done this at Rexall but have done it twice at Shoppers Drug mart when I thought that I had met my spend $30.00 get 5000 points and after checking the bill I was .80 too less one time and forgot to purchase an item the 2nd time. They just send me to the main cashier and open up another one for the other customers.

ETA--Amanda finally did credit me with the missing 15 AM however she said the offer said 'up to' 25 AM's and it was an offer from the company, not from AM directly. Thanks again Disney Addicted, that was a sweet 25 AM's.

I'm glad she finally gave you the 15 AM. It's definately not "up to 25 air miles". The company made a mistake. They posted 25 bonus miles but when you click on the survey, it changes to 10 bonus miles. That's why I put the link up to the travel page with the offer instead of a direct link to the offer itself. I figure if Air Miles made the mistake of saying 25 when they really meant 10 - they should honor the 25 until they correct the web page. That's why I went to chat for the missing miles.

It probably is suppose to be only 10 AM, but their own website says 25 AM first - so... they should honor the full 25, right? The guy I chatted with agreed no problem.

I just finished a love chat with Jasantha and she was so very lovely! Helpful, prompt and polite...and she even credited me 25 for the survey plus she said I would still see the 10!

Very nice!

I would complain about the Rexall spend. We just had our whole order re-rung in this morning as we only spent $48.84 the first time around. The cashier called in the manager who took us to another register and refunded the entire order and put it back in - from the receipt even so we didn't have to 'unpack' our bags and let us add onto the order - he even pointed out a coupon at the cash but we declined as the $2 would have put us back under the $50! He was quite cheerful about the entire thing so we ended up spending $57 (taxes incl) and got 246 airmiles with the 110 coupon and the load and go for 110.

We also went to Sobey's this morning and the cashier had trouble scanning one of their easy meals. She was just going to put it in as a grocery item but I politely said that it had to be scanned since it was worth 15 airmiles.

She called over another cashier who collects airmiles and realized what the problem was. When another item wouldn't scan she asked if it was an airmiles item (which it was) and went to get another of the same item and it scanned so that we would get our airmiles. They are usually pretty good at our local Sobey's.

Tried to do the survey but the airmiles site is having 'technical difficulties'.
