And that was in error....it was for my hotel stay and not the airmiles shop promotion!

Ah. Too bad. Your report gave me hope.

I’m 1000 AM away from the 5200AM 7 Day Adult Disney World tickets...

When did the 3250AM ones come online this year? I’d rather wait for that and have a pass that is good til 2030. Rather than worry about having to pay surcharge if the tickets say expire 2019.

Does that sound logical? Our next trip won’t be til 2020 probably.

Just came back from Rexall's. $30.85 = 121 air miles
Sobey's $40.06 = 85 miles. Purchased 5 items but only 3 items had air miles on them. I finally caved and bought 1 cake.

I highly doubt there will be another offer like this anytime soon. I don't exactly remember the last time Disney offered a discount to CDNs but it was a long time ago.

So the Shell 5x promo ends on the 28th. How many miles did people rack up?

We have 2 vehicles. Between us, we received 100 air miles (5 air miles x 20 visits).

It should have been 105 miles really but my husband forgot and put $25 in one day instead of 25L.

That's pretty good. I don't think we will be even close with a gas guzzling SUV and sedan. It seemed like every time we needed to get gas urgently, there was no Shell nearby.

Those discounted tickets where due to the poor exchange rate. It's now much better so not likely to see that again this year. Could happen but don't count on it. With all the new stuff that is open and coming within the next year discounts will probably be few and far between.

Not 100% sure but those 2030 expiry tickets were before the ticket rules changed.

Wow, you did well! We were 6 visits, 30 air miles, maybe fit in one more.

Got my child ticket yesterday. Definitely an actual ticket, not a CDN resident voucher. I assume it's current; it has a September 2017 date printed on it. Presumably that's the release date? Interestingly, there is no mention anywhere of expiry. I think it likely does expire, but I'm surprised they don't have to put the expiry date on the ticket itself. Maybe they get around that since the ticket can be exchanged at full value towards the cost of a new ticket?

The other possibility is that it is old stock (non-expiring), but then I don't know what that 09/2017 date is about.

I guess I could link it on MDE and end the suspense! I'd actually prefer a new, expiring ticket, because the upgrade value will be higher than old stock. Either way it's way better than the current AM "cost" of the adult tickets though, so I'm happy. I think you made a good call for your hopper upgrade - hope it arrives in time!

If they are the expiring new tickets, I wouldn’t mind to get two for upgrading later!

Sorry, this slipped past .. there has been a bit of discussion over these in a few places and here's the info that I've gleamed.

• dates on tickets refer to when they were printed
• expiry date will show once you enter into your MDE but doesn't matter when you enter it -- the date is attached to the ticket
• the face value of these tickets will be what is currently showing on the Disney site
• you do not need to show CDN ID to validate these

The big problem is that the whole "expiry date" is a new wrinkle to disneyWORLD and even CMs have no idea how this will play out with the ability to make FP+ when the time rolls around. I don't know how i would feel about getting any of these if i didn't have a trip planned. Until the first set of tickets get to the expiry date it is just a guessing game.

We only got 8 visits at 5X the AM but we don't have a Shell close and the closest one to us was in the middle of road construction so not practical to go to. DH will try to do two 25L transactions with his big work pick-up today or tomorrow.

Our Rexall LGO offers are spend $50 Get 80 airmiles for Mon-Thurs. My daughter who didn't get a main Rexall Mon-Thurs offer two weeks ago is back to not getting it again.

 

[Days In the Sun]

I used it once this week and received credit for it, yes.

It's still shows as available in my Load+Go however, saying it expires today. If I'm able to use it again today then I will make a trip to Rexall's. I'd rather get 110 air miles for $30 then the 100 for $50 that starts tomorrow.

This happened to me yesterday as well. I used it, points showed on receipt but offer I used still showed available in the app. Points posted fine over night.

 

[ottawamom]

My L&G for next week is a spend $50 get 80AM. May pass this one up as there really isn't anything I need at Rexall (unless they discount Halloween candy after the 31st).

I have a spend $50 get a $10 GC promotion for my local Sobeys so I think I'll put that shop off till Monday when I can take advantage of that (seeing as the flyer doesn't have any really great offers for AM this week). This was if I find any good AM promotions in the store it'll be icing on the cake.

I only got 25 AM. We have a bulk fuel card and we get a dividends cheque every year. So we usually do most of our fuel fill ups there. When we traveled over the Thanksgiving weekend, the hubs seemed to always stop at a shell ( by chance ) as he thinks me hunting AM and points is ridiculous. ( That is until I show him what my hunting provided as in tickets and hotel rooms ) The dividend cheque goes into the trip fund I have going lol.

Zilch for us! We drive a FIT and can barely squeeze in 35 L twice a month! Hubby prefers the Petro Can points because they turn into CAA dollars which brings that cost down.

My Friday morning e-mail from Airmiles about the weekend offer at Rexall contains another "OOPS too early, thanks for the head's up" alert! I've looked for info anywhere and it doesn't exist (the link goes to this week's flyer) I glanced thru this tread and discovered they sent me this notice early every other time as well, so let's cross our fingers. If you don't have any cash miles it might be a good idea to get some into that part of your account before next Friday!

 

[ottawamom]

It took 9 weeks for the last one of this kind of promotion from Rexall to actually post. Good deal, just be aware they take their sweet time posting them unlike their usual quick turn around.

Just upgraded Air Miles Universal tickets to Seasonal Annual passes.

The old tickets (2 day) upgraded for $10 each (the girl actually charged us $10 for two since she was a Canadian too!!)

The new Air Miles ticket cost nothing to upgrade to a Seasonal Annual pass.

I think there is another thread somewhere about this but I thought it could go here too.

When you say "new Air Miles ticket" do you mean the 3 park to park 2 day + 2 days free ticket? I got 4 for our trip in January and DH and I were thinking about going back for HHN next year so AP would great. I didn't even think about upgrading to an AP - but if I can for a minimal fee or free then sounds like an easy decision. We are there during a blackout period but I read on anther thread that I just need to upgrade on our last day there which isn't a blackout date anyways but the AP expires a year from the first date my ticket was used. Do I understand all this correctly?

I'm on a 14 day cruise and am then going to spend 10 days in Disney yet I find myself envious of the mile offers everyone else are getting. I need to get my priorities straight! Lol.
