Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[buyerbrad]

today i stopped at rexall for a couple things. i “earned” one of the marvel things, but the cashier said that since the event is technically over she’s giving extras away. i left with like, 2 dozen. so i have tons of extras, and thought i would check if anyone is looking for a specific character. Here’s what i have:
6 hulk, 2 captain america, 2 falcon, 2 red skull, 2 iron man, 1 hawkeye, 1 groot, 1 vision, 1 thor, 1 starlord, 1 was machine, 1 loki. phew!

the only one i haven’t gotten is rocket (the little raccoon) and so if you have an extra of him, i’d be happy to trade

I need 2 Captain Americas (1 for each kid). I have an extra raccoon.

My son is collecting these and missing 1 Hulk, 1 iron man, 1 vision, 1 Thor. I can pay you for shipping! Unfortunately no extra rockets.[/QUOTE]

i messaged you

 

[marchingstar]

I’ve missed getting any of these so I would love to pay for shipping any of these that no one else wants. DS has just gotten really into the MCU and we are two movies away from watching them all with him. Since the new Thor movie comes out next week we have to watch Antman and Civil War before then!

Please send me a pm if you can mail any of your extras to me.

i’ll put a package together and message you the details

So at todays value, that's like 2 adult and one child 5 day pass for WDW.....

Not that I wanted any, but I find it really funny that over the whole Marvel promo I never received a single one. Shell, Sobeys, Metro, and Rexall. Several purchases over $30. Never was given even one or offered any.

Thank you SO much!

I finally remembered to ask today when I was at Rexall and the cashier gave me one (Black Widow I think?)

It's probably because it does not start until tomorrow.

Working now - just tried.

 

[purple hippo]

Yes, I mean the new 3 park 2 day ticket. There was no fee to change to a seasonal AP.

Awesome news!!! Thanks!

Sorry to hear about your park hoppers though.

Here's this week's coupon for Rexall
Spend $50.00 get 80 AM Valid Oct 30th - Nov 2nd

Don't forget you can safely ignore the phrase "Cannot be combined with any other AIR MILES® Bonus Miles store wide coupon or load+go offer" ... they play well with all other offers.

Tomorrow is also the Super Seniors Day -- 20% off PLUS get a $10.00 gift card if you spend more than $50.00. Hubby left me a list of things he needs and how many AM they all have !! (got him well trained )

This has been a frustrating couple of hours.

- I just found out I cannot use the Dream Travel Certificates to book RPR or CBR. Packages only.
- The Air Miles hotel website does not list Loew's hotels to book from and a chat agent confirmed they are not on their list of hotels
- Then Transat in the Oshawa Town Centre is insisting I will not be able to order Dream Travel Certificates from Air Miles as of Jan 1, 2018.
- However, Air Miles chat is saying that is incorrect.

I do recall someone here mentioning trying to save for more DTC before the year end for Punta Cana. So, who is correct?

It would be the Duck who is trying to save for Punta Cana. (but since hubby's website was down for an entire month and that led to next to no income in what is traditionally his busiest month, it might be a pipe dream anyway!)
Yes, you can only use these for package/cruise bookings.
Correct, there are only a select few hotels on the actual website that you can redeem for (honestly find they are often over-priced anyway!)
You can find those hotels on the Airmiles HUB which allows you to earn miles (don't know if the prices are decent though only used it once when there was a huge offer when it started up)

The business about the certificates not being issued come January probably is misinformation based on this statement on the Airmiles site

• In 2018, together with Transat Distribution Canada, we will be introducing a new PVC website, enabling you to use your Miles immediately for PVC bookings online, 24/7 with participating partners.

I seriously doubt they will completely do away with the option of getting certificates when this just started in June but hey, you know the old saying about *assuming*

 

[marchingstar]

**heads up**

@pangyal has posted about a possible Canadian resident discount that we might see soon! Hopefully it's true, and hopefully it means we see the discount on air miles tickets again. If you don't need tickets right away, it might mean holding off to see if the discount really happens, and if it affects air miles costs too.

I’ve received the email offers from sobers since they started. For the last few weeks they’ve come from Safeway (we shopped at one this summer) not Sobeys. I just went to check what offers I had before shopping and the app shows none loaded even though I clicked through the email. It’s so weird. Has anyone had anything like this happen?

ive done that but what is weird is that they are from Safeway not Sobeys and only valid there (says the terms & conditions). I went to Sobeys today and nothing redeemed. They were from Sobeys up until a few weeks ago and didn’t have any issue.

I called Sobey's last week about this. She said it was because I shopped at Safeway and it was the last large amount I had. I noted that I shopped there once in August and that I've shopped at Sobey's about 5 times a week since then and spent more at Sobey's most times I am there. She said she couldn't change anything and I should call airmails. I did that but the automated system was a nightmare so I did the online chat. She said the getmyoffers is all Sobey's and all she could do was make sure I was set up to receive the communication from them (which I was). So now I'm just biding my time until it switches back. I'm also not loading the safeway offers in hopes that it makes the switch happen. Hopefully it will do it soon as I can barely seem to get any airmiles these days from Sobey's!
