Airmiles Armchair Chatter

I wonder if it has something to do with where the package is going as to which carrier Air Miles uses...

Yes it must. My email said it was shipped from Toronto. Since I am considered regional to Toronto if they use Express Post it should be here today so maybe UPS is used to locations where Express Post isn't next day, which would make sense as to why UPS is used out of province.

I ordered mine last Tuesday and just got an email this morning from Air Miles saying "Your Reward has been shipped by regular mail from Canada Post". Odd that they would now send via Canada Post if they usually send UPS with only two working days remaining if there is a postal lockout! Hopefully they are delivering real quick over the next two days!!!

So strange! I got an email yesterday about my tickets and they were shipped UPS, and to arrive today and I live in Ontario too. I wonder how they decide which carrier to sent them with. Well as long as we all get our tickets before the strike, everything is going to be just fine.

Saveland has the Rexall flyer for Ontario available. It's another Spend $50 get 100 airmiles promo. It's time to stock up on toilet paper and shampoo and conditioner. I'll get milk and eggs to put me up to $50.
We are going to the cottage tomorrow so I will talk hubby into stopping on the way back on Sunday. I'm sure he'll be thrilled that we have to stop halfway home on a six hour drive for a Rexall shop.

I was not aware of this promo! Now I have to check it out. I'm in New Brunswick so I hope it's valid here.

I checked the flyers for Lawton's Drugstore as well as Jean Coutou pharmacy and they both have great specials on as well, depending on what you need. There's a brand of sunscreen....Ombrielle.....if you buy 2 it's 25 miles. If you buy 3, it's 75 miles. I'm not sure of the cost per container but considering its summer, everyone buys sunscreen.

I've ordered a lot of gift cards and park passes and they all come Canada Post to where I am in New Brunswick. I wish Airmiles would do as other programs do and email you the Disneyworld ticket number. I'm just going to load the number onto my magic band so I don't need the card.

Ombrelle is very pricey for sun screen

I just received my shipping notification and my pass will be coming via ups.


I have already applied my first pass to MDE and will do the same for this one.

I wouldn't mind paying more for sunscreen if it was not so full of chemicals. Most of the products on the market make me cringe. My neighbor is a chemist and said the all natural sunscreens are just as effective as the chemical laden brands but the price is scary. A small bottle is $21.99+

Ombrelle has a mineral sunscreen that contains titanium dioxide. It's a 50 SPF and labelled as being for kids. It came highly recommended by the Dr. that treated my Uncle's skin cancer. If you use Zweet or Checkout51 there is often a $3 rebate on those apps for Ombrelle. I got it for $15 at Walmart, use the $3 rebate on both apps and ended up paying $9. That was far more tolerable that the regular price! I think Zweet has the $3 back but I don't know if Checkout51 does this week. If you aren't using those cashback apps, look into them.

I do use the Checkout app although not as faithfully as I should. You're a peach!

I just signed up for this Checkout51. How do you use it?

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Nevermind, I have figured it out. But I can't download the app on my iPhone for some reason. Anyone have issues with it just "loading"?

I just spoke to a customer service rep for the "My Offers" on the Sobey's website. I had a personal offer for 35 airmiles if I bought a $100 gift card. Not the greatest offer but I knew I would spend it at FreshCo in the next week so I went and got it. And like ALL of the "My Offers" I've used since the middle of May.. it didn't credit. I used those offers for over a year with no issue and now I have to call every single time. Anyway, the rep I spoke to today actually said it's a technical issue that they are aware of and working on and to call every time I use one and they will credit them. He also said they hope to have it fixed soon.
I just thought I would share in here in case anyone else was having issues with the Sobey's offers.

I just got back from Sobey's. They still haven't fixed the loaded offer issue with the gift card purchase. Called the hotline and they added the AM manually. On the plus side all my other loaded offers worked.
