Airmiles Armchair Chatter

For those waiting, I just had last weeks Sobey's post overnight last night.

Mine too!
I am at 1501 now. Not bad considering I wiped out my account for a Universal ticket in late April.

I just checked my online AMEX account and see that my I now have my first statement dated June 16. It has the 2000 AM bonus in the summary but they have not been posted to my AM acc't yet. Since the statement date was just yesterday, I am hoping they post in the next couple of days

Me too. I don't have my statement - did you look online? But I know my roll-over is the 15th. Don't see anything yet.
If I do I will call them. I'll let you know if I find anything out.

 

[Duckiedee]

Are you talking about passes or flights?

Flights.

Yes I had looked at my online account this morning. I did get an email notification this afternoon that my statement is available.

Question about Sobeys Loaded offers.....
so I click on the offer and it says at the top of page I have 8 loaded offers,,do i have to do anything else?
Thanks Mel

Right now I think I am going to pick up some Ziploc freezer value pack 28-38 in each pkg
worth 18 airmiles--this will depend on the cost of the baggies.

Once you load your offers they should magically appear on your receipt at checkout (once you present your AM card that is). If for some reason they aren't there call the 1-800 number on the website and they will add them to your account over the phone.

My turn now with a question. Can't find and answer anywhere on the Airmiles website. Can I book a flight for someone else using my airmiles? If I'm not traveling with them. I know I've seen this somewhere before but I can't find an answer to it when I search

Short answer yes. just like booking with cash. you just put in the names of the passengers and pay the tax. all good. but you are the only one that can make changes, which by the way are very very points and cash expensive. so make sure the dates, names and times are not going to change

Does anyone know if gift cards are a bonus at Rexall this week? I'm looking at the dinning gift cards. If I have to take the dad out for fathers day it would be nice to get some airmiles out of it.

No gift cards for food this week. You could check out the airmiles site. They have some dining cards there. Don't know if they are e-cards or if you would have to wait for it to be delivered (ie. no good for your purpose today). Some of them come with airmiles bonus.

Happy Fathers Day!
I went to Sobeys this weekend and I bought some freezer bags and while they were not cheap I still had some money on my last weeks Sobeys Gift Card. I plan to freeze and pack some strawberries.

So $7.49 for 38 freezer bags x 2= 14.98= 38 Airmiles. (not the greatest deal but atleast it's something I needed).

I had a little over $25.00 left on the card so I tried just buying a Cara Food Gift Card and it worked.
(Thanks Mort)
The 38 Airmiles did not show up on my bill so I went to customer service and had them add it in.

I just checked my balance and I'm just over half way to my goal of 3800 airmiles for my trip next March.
Happy collecting everyone.
Hugs Mel

Finally got my miles! Now I will have enough - but they need to post more flights. They did it again - hardly anything available and instead of 3000AM/flight it is up even more to 4600/flight. But now I know this seems to fluctuate, I'll keep looking!

If you have a BMO mastercard there is 25|% off AM for flights, It along with the 2000am was the reason I picked up this card this year, I will dump it after my flight.

 

[Duckiedee]

I have that card too. The lowest you can spend in high season from Hali to MCO is 3000AM

No, that's incorrect. I have the Gold card and I always book flights for 2325 to Florida, whether Orlando or Miami, for that matter. You need to make sure you are logged in with your PIN to see the 25% off fares.

Edited - Sorry, you are talking about high season. I was thinking low season. I never travel in the high season for anything!

 

[jtdl]

Got both my AMEX and BMO bonus miles this morning and ordered one pass today since AM says they will not mail any after June 21 until further word on the looming postal strike. At least I know I will have one pass before our trip Once DD's AMEX miles get deposited, should be in next couple of weeks, we will only need another 300 AM for a second pass. So glad I checked this thread when first planning!!! I have been collecting AM since 1999 (so my card says) and only had 1000 AM and only a couple African Lion Safari ticket redemptions until last month!!!

LOL. I know. We were going in Low Season - but my hubby teaches and they won't give him the time off. Sigh... High Season it is.... at least end August is still quite the low season for Florida/WDW as the kids there are already back in school!

Rexall Airmiles question!

I got an email with an exclusive email coupon for Spend $30, get 50AM. Does anyone know if this kind of coupon is a one time use or can I buy $60, split them into two transactions and get the 50AM on each transaction?

TIA!

I get those every week and always wait till the week to do my shopping because i can get more miles for less effort! YES, i separate the orders out in my basket and tell the clerk to ring in as individual sales and i've never had a problem! I wander up and down the rows with the calculator in hand making sure i have just enough to get the $$ value .. last Thursday i managed to rack up 175 miles in one trip! I just print several coupons and stick them in my pocket (my phone is dumb so i can't flash that!)

Last week i got a ton of targeted coupons from Rexall and I've got a big trip planned that should net me over 250 miles. They still have the offer for buying greeting cards right now BTW so if you have any occasions coming up that you normally buy cards for anyway it's a pretty easy way to get some!
