Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[marcyleecorgan]

Oooooh looks like there may be some hope for AM after all, with Blue Friday in the West I see a Campbell's soup case sale in that flyer, too!

Happy AM hunting everyone.

isabellea, I would check out the parking rates at the Rideau Center. I don't know if they have a daily max or not. From there you can do the shopping, pop across the canal and see the ice sculptures, go for a skate on the canal or the rink in front of city hall. See if you can get a time to skate on the rink at Parliament Hill.

Look this up to confirm but I believe there is a free shuttle bus between the venues so you should be able to get a shuttle over to Jacques Cartier park to Snowflake Kingdom and the snow sculpture park they have there.

If you don't mind walking a little further you can park at World Exchange plaza (Metcalfe and Queen) for free on Saturday (again confirm this with their website)

For anyone shopping at Rexall this week. The store I shop at had all kinds of their Xmas chocolate/candies on at deep discounted prices and then the had a BOGO free deal on top of that. I picked up Lindt chocolate balls for .75ea. Check and see if your store as some kind of special deal on their stuff. Valentines day is coming up and my kids don't care about the packaging.

Back from Blue Friday shopping! I spent $$159.26 and earned 708 air miles. My spreadsheet was off by $28 from the Clamato, that line didn't calulate into my total yesterday. All good though - I'm happy with those totals.

If you already have the green vouchers then they do NOT have an expiry date -- well, Dec 31, 2030 i think is the date attached to them. If you have hard credit card type cards with a date POST Feb 12th of this year they expire the end of 2018. The new vouchers (no way of knowing yet if AM will be sending these out or not) will have an expiry date of Dec 31, 2018.

Any date printed on the vouchers or tickets is the issue date.

Hi Jacqueline,

I'm going back on a old post we talked about.
I recently ordered AM 7 day Disney tickets. I received the hard plastic card, same green as the paper voucher.
After linking to mydisneyexperience it said the expiration date was 2030. I'm wondering if this newer ticket expires in 2018 or not? Has anyone posted receiving 2018 expiration tickets from AM?

My plan is to ask the CM to check expiration dates and make sure I am using a 2018 ticket if I have one but I thought I'd ask the question here too since the disboards community can be so knowledgeable!!!

Upcoming in Winter Offer Hub, same offer and dates for Foodland. Personally, I would prefer spend 95, get 20 back since they could then be distributed cash or dream miles and would count towards your status.

 

[Donald - my hero]

The Winter Offer Hub is up now and there are several interesting offers -- like posted just up there ^^^ (personally i LIKE it because i have 76 Cash miles right now and since i don't collect them i can finally get rid of those!!)
Winter Offer Hub

They are accepting new members into the Surveys again -- they don't net many miles and some of the surveys are really, really REALLY long but i have found that if i keep an invite in my inbox, check it every couple of days and it will work. OR if I get the message "no surveys currently available" i click on this symbol at the top left, log back in to my account and find more surveys.

In the last 180 days I've racked up 462 AM If you click on the "how To Use" button on the offer you will find a link that takes you to the sign up page. You will get 15 AM once you complete your 1st survey. These miles usually post within 48 hours.

Just took a closer look at the Offer Hub and found this for using the Travel Hub to reserve a hotel -- only available if you have NEVER used this before, but the miles will be on top of any others you earn. We've used this a couple of times and the miles post AFTER you stay but pretty quickly once that happens. (When you check in the reservation is treated like one a pre-paid one thru Expedia -- FYI, the hotel will not know what you're talking about if you say Airmiles ... just saying )

For those of us who have already used this site we get THIS offer

I got one of the same tix as you, 7 day hard plastic card and mine shows the 2030 expiration date as well.

Mine just posted too! All the AM posted for both DH and my accounts without my having to chase down anything. Colour me surprised!

 

[ottawamom]

My STB posted on my account as being from Airmiles, DH account were listed as Sobeys, DS account were from Airmiles. I have 73 Cash airmiles and am now debating whether or not to do something so I can get the extra two I need to use the Sobeys cash offer.

 

[hdrolfe]

Mine posted too, from Sobeys? I mean I did get most of mine from Sobeys so I guess that's fair Now I need 50 more and flights will be booked! Off to Rexall on my way home I guess... what to get? since I'm hungry it'll be lots of chips and chocolate bars lol.

Sadly, when I try this it still says not currently accepting new members.

ETA--when I go through the link in the Winter Hub it works. Thanks so much.

Ok, here we go again! My StB miles also posted -- the main account got the full 2000 (posted as from Airmiles Bonus) but the new account only got 1000 (Posted from Sobeys). I have yet to receive the 150 miles from doing the 3 on-line transactions which means i'm going to have to chase those down before i can get the extra 1000 miles owed to me on that account. PLUS the extra miles from each of those transactions and the ones on the other account as well... also never received the miles from the chocolate bar offer. Sigh, i LOVE their customer service so much (notice my liberal use of the sarcasm font there )

 

[marchingstar]

blue friday shopping done! spent 115, earned 460.

I thought that would be my big earn for February, but my shop the block miles posted today too! So Feb is looking up!

Thanks for letting me know, i took the direct link out and added how to get to the link that DOES work

 

[isabellea]

Both my account and DH’s (new card opened just for STB) show the 2000 STB airmiles under IGA. They are not in our total yet (on the app anyway).

 

[juniorbugman]

Both of the accounts that I shopped on got the Shop the Block miles. My account showed as Shop the Block and my Mother's account showed as Sobeys.
