Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Eveningsong]

My daughter made the three air miles purchases for the STB promo but only one posted. She shopped the last week of November during the Black Friday 15 times promo period. Does anybody know if Ebay or Amazon had a 5 five multiplier like Old Navy during that time period? She also didn't get her 150 airmiles because two shops didn't post.

I've been quietly waiting for this moment to happen -- we've hit 500 pages! Thread has been active since August 2015, has had almost 592,000 views, close to 10,000 replies and who know how many miles have been snagged!!! We've become quite the little community and I'm so happy i started this hunting party, thanks for joining me in the fun. NOW, time to party and because the weather is a tad nasty right now, let's make it a BEACH PARTY!

Don't want you to think I've ignored your question --- just don't have the info on this puter, i'll check in the morning to see what i can find out. I'm waiting on those miles to post on both accounts as well.

Hmm... I did 4x $20+ purchases and got the miles associated for the 3 shops 150 AM yet it hasnt appeared. Also not seeing the 50AM shop bonus but I qualified for that one too... Grrr

Did she make sure when she shopped at Amazon that the items she purchased were NOT in her cart before she logged into airmilesshops.com? I got screwed over with that stipulation once.

Did she shop through ebay.ca or ebay.com?

Amazon did not have a multiplier, don't know about ebay.ca. Agree with Damo, easy to go wrong with Amazon. No items in cart before logging in and there are a number of categories that don't qualify, no books, groceries etc.

I am showing that one of my qualifying shops was Amazon. It posted on November 30th and did not have a multiplier that I can see. My Roots and Chapters shops that posted on the 24th did have the multipliers (15x and 5x).

Luckily I did four shops because I did another Amazon shop just before the promo ended. I not only shopped for it days before it ended, I was also charged for it in full , it had shipped , and I had received it before the end of the promo. Yet good ol’ airmiles posted the miles 2 days AFTER the promo was over. I am sure it’s in the fine print somewhere so their butts are covered but one has to wonder what the point is in a promo that is good until the 15th if ordering,paying for,and receiving the item by the 11th doesn’t qualify. The online shops are always tricky.

Well some more airmiles posted today!

I need to buy my daughter (6) a digital camera for school (aka: not very expensive). Has anyone seen any AM's deals on electronics?

To tell you the truth, I don't think this would be a good use of miles (unless one goes on *sale* BIG time) Here's my reasoning
Current *cheapest* digital camera on the website is 4,200 AM or 3,360 for ONYX collectors. If you use the AM math of 95 miles = $10 that would mean the camera would cost $442 or $353 for ONYX -- same camera on Amazon is $328

OR go to any of several stores thru the Airmilesshop portal and get a decent point & shot for under $100 and collect some miles
OR find someone who has a CAA card and go to the Source and pick up one and get 20% off (currently one on sale for $149)
OR there are several low end point & shoot on Amazon for under $50 -- would i want any of those for myself? Nope Would i buy one of those for a 6 yr old? SURE!

Great thread, Donald! So glad that you started it and I started to follow. It is the reason that I have deliberately collected AM for the past year and a half, and gotten a flight for 2 from Calgary, Disneyworld tickets, Disneyland tickets, and MORE Disneyworld tickets!

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Same! I never knew the Land of Air Miles existed before this page! I was one of those "I just scored 25 air miles at Sobeys!" people, until I started following this thread religiously!

I definitely would not be using my airmiles to buy a camera. I don't find they are much of a deal.

Any particular store through airmilesshops you would recommend? Was hoping there was one that had increased miles this week.

What a great day today!
I worked from home and was able to get so much stuff done!
Someone asked about buying small things they see posted on airmiles and yes I do sometimes buy something if it's a good deal. I just ordered my 5th 100.00 travel voucher----- now come on airmiles and post those STB airmiles PLEASE!!!
Have a great day!

Staples has some nice point and shoot cameras.
