Nothing for Safeway this week! Which is too bad - they take AE. Remember to start charging up the $400 for the bonus AM with American Express this month. Our vehicle's in the shop for it's semi annual and putting our winter tires on. I'm pretty sure they will find at least $400 worth of problems...

Rexall has GC for Indigo, Marks and Kobo on this week. Spend $25 on GC get 20AM, spend $50 on GC get 40AM.

Superstore Atlantic has buy $50 gift cards for either Cabelas or Indigo and get $10 PC gift cards back. I'll be getting two for Indigo as they have a 25% sale on toys this weekend AND it's 3x the miles on airmilesshops.

Sobeys doesn't really have much, but I think I can squeeze about 70 miles from My Offers.

We had to take in one of our vehicles yesterday for servicing, I made sure my husband charged the AMEX, I told him we just got our 800 AM on the first day, lol.

On a side note, these AMEX people are pretty clever, I find myself reaching for my AMEX more for payment then my MC as a result of these Soar into More offers.

Safeway/Sobey's out west is a bust for me. Again.

yep, me too. i really like the blue friday promotions, but it feels like the time between them is an air miles wasteland.

Agreed. I hope it's a Blue Friday next week, we're away the Friday after, and I'd hate to miss it.

Real Canadian Superstore and Loblaws in Ontario also have the buy$50 Chapters/Indigo get a $10 PC gift card offer. Chapters/Indigo has their 25% off $50+ friends and family sale this weekend.

I'm thinking this is the better offer than the Rexall one for 40 AM.

And to add another wrinkle (that i can't help fully understand cause i don't use the programme) isn't this weekend when Shoppers has their gift card bonus???
Details on how someone is working this starts at this point in this thread (still mildly confusing for the Duck!)

Are you talking about sobeys Western Canada? I just received my flyer and there's a blue Friday tomorrow.

ugh, thanks for pointing this out! The last 2 times, the blue friday section of the flyer hasn't shown up on the Safeway site. I just checked, and it's there if you look at the flyer through Reebee.

Yes I just noticed too as I'm looking at a hard copy flyer in my office. Seems the online one didn't show it again. That happened last time as well. Ugh.

Head's up gang ... the Blue Friday deals have been in Smart Canucks both times and that's the links I'm using in the first post --- i just haven't gotten around to actually looking at them this week! Sorry .. i also noticed this on the front cover

Time to analyze the Rexall flyer because of the potential for some decent hauls (Ontario right now)

• Sunday Head to Toe Spend $50.00 get 100 AM on ANY skin, hair, mouth, shave, sun products
• Spend $40 of those dollars on Nuetrogenea, Aveeno, Lubriderm or Clean & Clear get another 40 AM
• Any Vichy products buy 1 get 10 AM
• 2 Olay products get 20 AM
• Loreal Hair colour $9.99 buy 2 get 15 AM
• Garnier skin products 25% off buy 2 get 15 AM
• Colgate products $3.99 buy 2 get 5 AM
• Oral B power brushes/heads 25% off buy 1 get 20 AM

I gave up searching because i'm just gonna be typing forever! I just selected items that fall into the Head to Toe category, there are lots more! ALSO the gift cards that someone mentioned and one more kick at the LnG offers -- load & use 1 get 25 AM. Those of us who have NONE loaded... prepare to battle!

The email I received states that the $10 offer is valid from Nov. 3-9 but the flyer states Nov. 3-5. My load and go offer usually starts on Monday. I hope to stack the $10 offer with load and go but I wouldn’t be able to do that if the $10 offer does not extend beyond this Sunday. Sadly I think the flyer info is more accurate due to past practices!

Yeah, the flyer tends to take priority BUT i did an online chat AND a Facebook messenger conversation about my email offer for using cash miles since it didn't show up in this flyer and they said they will honour my email. SO i have written proof when i need to chase it down in 120 days (cause we all know i will need to!)
The only LnG offers that are valid ONLY during the week are *usually* the threshold spends, if you are lucky enough to have others they should be good for the whole 2 week period of time.

I have not been getting any Load n Go offers other than the threshold ones for a long time. I had used them in the past and don’t understand why they stop coming!

Please tell me that I'm not the only one who is excited when Wednesday rolls around because , well .. FLYERS!! SO far the only thing of much interest is a bizzarre offer in the Atlantic Sobeys flyer which will be good if you like to eat a lot (and i mean a LOT) of cereal ... Buy 5 ginormaous boxes of cereal for 6.99 and get 99 miles. Return rate of just under 3 AM/$

If they are selling the 1.2 kg boxes of Mini Wheats for $6.99, that's an awesome deal. I usually buy them at Costco for $9.99, or they go on sale from time to time for $7.99, or very occasionally $6.99. No Air Miles though! I'd be all over this one if I could get to it. We do eat a lot of cereal, and Mini Wheats in particular.

There was a similar deal in Ontario awhile back - maybe not as many points, but the flyers showed the big boxes of Mini Wheats at a decent price. Sadly, the Sobeys stores near me don't appear to stock them, so I missed out.

Yep - just heard that they've posted the Blue Friday pages now. Jeepers!
