I got mine too. I was just going to ask when they would be coming and poof they appeared.

I always forget to log into airmilesstores before making purchases! I just did a purchase from old navy and thought about about a millisecond after I clicked the confirm purchase button

Got my 150 as well I'm not sure what other bonuses from shopping through airmiles I'm supposed to be getting... who knows! I'm not very good at keeping track of those ones, the ones on receipts are no problem but on line shopping for some reason is hard to keep track of (I think perhaps I do too much of it? )

Does the airmiles 5 day ticket has a expiring date??

Yes the new ones you order now will expire - need to use by Dec. 31, 2018. Even the child tickets that say they are Canadian Resident and don't expire...they don't have them any more. Just regular tickets.

 

[momof2gr8kids]

Update to my AM order - they will refund my points if I return the ticket. They do not have any Canadian Resident Tickets left - so if anyone was hoping to take advantage of the kids ticket with the lower am, do it quickly before they update their website. But keep in mind they really do expire - first use must be by Dec. 31 2018.

i thought about stopping off at rexall tonight. there are a couple things i need, and both the regular coupon and my load and go offer this week are spend 50$/earn 80 miles, which is a decent haul. but then i realized if i just wait until tomorrow i can charge it to my amex and count the 50-ish shop towards the november soar into more offer too. triple dipping? yes please!

happy spending, to those aiming for the november soar into more miles

Was your ticket linked to your MDE account? Mine is and I still have not heard back from Airmiles.

No I didn't link it. I called Disney Ticketing and gave them the number on the card and they verified the expiry date. AM didn't ask if I had linked them or not. Can a linked ticket be un-linked so you can send back? Either way, I'd argue it with them - what they had advertised on their site, and what you ordered, was not what they delivered. Unless you know someone that got a Canadian Voucher that's going before the expiry and wants to trade with you. I may do that myself instead of sending back.

Apparently they will retain their value and you can use towards another ticket, but you can only do that in person at WDW. Which means you most likely won't be able to make FP with them in advance. However this is all kind of new, the expiring tickets, so no one really knows for sure exactly how it will play out with the FPs. But you won't lose the value in them, which is more than the value of the Canadian Tickets, which did expire.

Just wondering how you know that they don't have any Canadian resident tickets left? Did someone at airmiles confirm this? I'd love to take advantage of this right now, but I don't want to get stuck with a Canadian resident ticket.

What the heck is up with that flyer this week??!!?? I've never really looked closely at them this early but dang, it's all scribbled on with fancy happy faces

All that aside, the "big offer" on the back page?? Yeah, not a big deal -- buy 3 yogurt @ $3.49 each get 15 AM the other one is buy 2 girnormous bottles of OJ for $10 and get 20 AM

For about 2 weeks now they have been sending out the actual hard tickets but still charging the lower amount of AM and describing them as "CDN discounted" You won't get a voucher anymore, instead a ticket that doesn't require ID to validate but does carry an expiry date.

Yeah, I've been following the discussion. But do we know for sure that these tickets are non-discounted regular child tickets?

Just now getting around to checking out my receipts from Rexall and discovered that the pharmacist gave us each a booklet filled with coupons when we had our flu shots ---urgh, wish i had noticed while in the store! But they're good till the end of March <phew>
Fairly decent haul : 2 sales of just over $50.00 and snagged a total of 325 AM!!

I still don't have my 150 for the online shopping though

Yes the AM rep told me yesterday. Apparently it was written on my file that they confirmed there are no Canadian resident tickets left and a note to update the website to indicate that tickets do indeed expire. (Now I don't know if the AM reps are like Disney cm's where you get a different answer each time...lol).

They may probably increase the AM for these tickets. What is the expiry date of these hard tickets when linked to MDE? TIA!

I see Disneyland and Disney World are running new Canadian Resident specials (DL = 25% off a 3 or longer day pass and DW = 20% off a 4 day or longer pass). I'm wondering if Air Miles will be discounting passes again. We're going to the World in February and took advantage of the Canadian Resident passes on the last round, and looks like we'll be going Land in July. We'll be getting the passes through Air Miles regardless, but another discount would be nice.
