Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Well I have 98 AM left after getting my flights lol. Oh well! I'd like to get 1250 so I can book a hotel for one night pre-cruise. Post cruise is Disney so can't use AM for that hotel. Our trip is in April so I have some time to worry about the hotel. I do have one booked but of course I'd rather not have to pay money for it

Stopped at Sobeys for some groceries, only got 65 I think. I did pick up two of those ready to bake pizzas (those things are huge!) and some taco stuff. Plus a few little things on sale. Now hopefully I don't need to go anywhere else this weekend. A storm is supposed to start tonight.

Surprisingly had a great shop at Rexall considering how crummy their offers have been lately! 122AM earned for just under $60 spent. Used the $5 off $25+ coupon too. Consider that travel size Hawaiian Tropics sunscreen not such a bad deal then at $6!

I get my probiotics and Vitamin C at Rexall and they had Buy 1 Get 1 50% off + 15AM when you spend $15 on those Be.Better & Rexall brand supplements Perfect cause I just ran out of Vitamin C!

Other than that just lucked out that I had tons of product coupons for items on clearance or major sale (Garner face moisturizer for under $1 after coupon and clearance price!) and the Spend $50 Get 100!

GRRR, my STB only posted as 1000 pts, even though I can see over 7 transactions in my activity history. They won't do anything for a few weeks and I wanted to get the Disney tickets with my airmiles (just short now). Live Chat didn't go to far, but hopefully the rest of the points will be credited shortly. I have been using travelhub to book all my hotels lately and these are the only airmiles I have been collecting recently as the Atlantic deals are pretty bad lately.

Which transactions did you make? Same thing happened to us. We did 3 Sobeys, The Bay, Air Miles Shops, Shell and Global Pets. The only thing I can figure is that it was one of the Sobey's trips because we purchased 2 of the coupons in one trip but seem to have been credited for them on the account, so not sure what didn't qualify for the Shop the Block.

Did you manage to push the cold to the curb before you left? Hope the 2 of you are having a blast!!!!

I did The Bay, Air Miles Shops, Shell, Staples, NSLC, Sobey, Pharmasave, Travelhub and two others that I can't think of at the moment.

DH had this promo for January. I wonder if he will get it again for February.

Was it an offer you received via email. If so it may be a targeted offer and not available to everyone. I tried looking for it when logged in and the only way I could access it was through your link.

No, it was not an e-mail link. That's from the website and it's valid for everyone.

My husband had that targeted offer last month as well for 100 bonus air miles.

I hope you're having a great trip. I started planning my days today for my May trip.

Your ONYX status won't update until sometime on Sunday. Check again on Monday and see what it says.

All of my STB miles posted so that’s great. I ordered $210 worth of Sobeys gift cards from the account I opened for my daughter. We used the “send them to someone else “ option to send to my email .
She got the confirmation to her email that they had been sent but I haven’t received them . Does it normally take awhile to send the email or should I be tracking them down ? It’s been about 12 hours .
I’m sorry to hear some people didn’t get their miles . They should have to offer bonus miles for all the wasted time tracking miles down for their promos .

Could it have something to do with the weekend. I've only ever ordered Starbucks e-cards and them came through pretty quickly. I don't think I would worry until Monday, it may be that a person has to do something to release them.

My understanding is that you are supposed to get them shortly after the confirmation (my experience with evouchers), however, I was told by one cs rep that there is often a delay with evouchers on the weekends and many go out or get caught up on Monday. Info is from one phone call conversation. Personally, I would call, I believe they can tell if the system has finished processing them. No worries though, they can fix it.

ONYX/Gold status has been updated for the week now. Mine included STB!

Just checked because you posted. I now have 2005 towards my 6000.lol

 

[momof2gr8kids]

I've got 5551 towards Onyx now that STB has posted. If course 3100 of that is from that ticket they added points to my card for so I'm not really counting that. I expect one day they realize that was an oopsie!

 

[hdrolfe]

I'm happy the STB points count in the total for Onyx!

We had one of the (giant) pizzas from Sobeys and it was pretty good. Kiddo says we should just get those instead of ordering from now on. And he thinks it would be a good idea to get one every time we go to Sobeys.

I'm at 2769 so far which makes me very happy. That means I only have to get 294 AM per month for the next 11 months to make Onyx. Very doable seeing I average 250 each month with my MasterCard. Happy Days!!

 

[mernin]

I had to order my 2 universal tickets that I waited for AM to change back to the 2day/2 Park so while I was there I thought I’d check out my 2018 total so far - 3189! I’m shocked I was never Onyx before 2017. When you look for them, it really is easy to collect! Thanks to all of you on here sharing tips and tricks.

We ate one of the two I picked up last week. I added a few other things to ours but I was quite impressed with a store bought pizza.

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.
View attachment 299833
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.

So I signed up Friday and so far have earned 51 AM, most of which have already posted. I'm liking this! Since I'm retired I can just check every once in a while and I can do it from home. Thanks for the heads up.

Sorry you didn't get all your STB air miles. I don't think using 2 or more coupons in one trip/purchase would make the difference. On both accounts (mine & my husband's) I used at least 2 coupons in one transaction and I believe once I used 4 coupons. Both of us received the 2,000 bonus miles.

I just checked the coupons I used and they were the Shell spend $50, Rexall spend $25, Rosa taco kit, 3 chocolate bars, 2 herbal essence hair products, 3 chocolate bars again, rosa taco kit again, and Sobey's spend $100 get 60. All of my STB coupons posted in November.

On my husband's card I used the Shell spend $50, Staples spend $75 for 25, two of the Rosa taco kits, two of the chocolate bars and the 2 herbal essence hair products. All his STB coupons posted in December.

Hope this helps you narrow it down. If you received the bonus air miles for all the coupons you used, I suggest "chatting" with them to get your full bonus miles. Do you still have the receipts?
