Airmiles Armchair Chatter

It really doesn't make any difference to anything if they don't arrive in time. Even when I went to an event the other week no one asked to see my card. I just want a shiny new one to use (I hand off last years card to a DS so they can have a cool black card in their wallet).

Not that anyone is looking these days but the L&G offers are up for Rexall and they have stooped to a new low. Extra strength tylenol if MM shopping is stressing you out (10AM). Cadbury chocolate bar (2AM) and follow that up by brushing your teeth, Colgate TP (10AM).

The one thing that is a positive is that the Load N Go
is now easier for me to read the print than it was before.
Maybe the new white background helps.

If there are any No Frills shoppers out there, they have spend $100, get 15,000 PC Optimum points today and tomorrow only. (And yesterday, but I only saw the offer today!)

I admire people who can do this.

I love packing carry on only. Even carry on we tend to only wear half of what we take! It helps that I travel with kiddo and his clothes are small though I do usually need to use the personal items as well, shoes and my snorkeling mask are the bulkiest items. Everything else gets rolled up! I find it harder to do at the end of the trip to get home than on the way to the destination. I think we buy too many souvenirs to bring home

This year I ended up booking Air Canada so I have to pay baggage fees (love when I fly WestJet with no baggage fees). I tried squeezing everything in and stopped when I realized that I needed to get two special 100% cotton sheets and a couple of pillow cases in the bag,,,skin condition hates hotel linen.
Then there was my arsenal of skin medications and I just gave up and switched out the carry-on for my regular bag. At Least I now should have a bit of room for a few souvenirs that I need (want). Hugs to you hon.

I'm sure it's different depending on a million and one factors, but as an interesting note - we also usually fly Westjet (because of the free bag) but this past year we had to use Air Canada to align with family members, and the AC flight was approx. $23 cheaper than the (similarly -timed) WestJet flight, and their 1st checked bag fee was $25. So in the end, they were nearly identical in cost. (I believe we redeemed AM for those flights). However, it definitely burned having to pay the fee when trying to check in online, as I had forgot that tidbit! =) Safe travels!

After the baggage issues we had with Air Transat coming home from Mexico I will, in future, figure out a way to go carry on only. I think I can do it with my roller bag and a large backpack. The only problem will be a few liquids like sunscreen. My plan is to just pay the stupid expensive cost of buying the items I need at the resort....perhaps I can find a way to order online and have waiting for my arrival.


On the PC front....I just did an online chat (stupid me didn't scroll down the page the other day so I didn't even see that option) and I was told that there was another card attached to my account. I could only see my own card. The other card has now been marked as stolen and the whole thing has been passed along for investigation. I should have all my points back in a week or so. In the mean time I was asked to change my online password, which I have done. I also commented on the lack of security in the program. My comment was not even acknowledged so I think they've heard that one a bunch.

I'm glad that this is being resolved for you. Let us know when you see your points.

I am glad to hear that you are getting your points back...I wonder if anyone is getting more points like me...I have both the new PC Optimum and a PC Mastercard...neither have been used for at least 3 weeks (offers are finally starting to get better)...but somehow I have "earned" over 20,000 PC Optimum points...every time I access my account, the balance is higher...

 

[Bernie23]

Yes, unfortunately they do. The T&C for the Universal 3-day 3 park-to-park pass says "valid for 9 months from time of purchase".

I'm not impressed with that. It makes it hard to redeem for the tickets when we do not have a set vacation date yet. I would love to cash in my miles for the tickets as I get enough Air Miles and be able to use them whenever we do decide to go.

Okay, I would obviously double-check, but I just ordered a two park two day pass and it does NOT have an expiry date on the back. That does not mean that can't change.

Hmm, I just checked and it does say expires within nine months on the two day under the terms and conditions. Maybe I got one of the old supply.

Hmmmm........I'm missing some and you have extras

 

[Days In the Sun]

Does anyone know.....if I order through Airmiles.ca but it is pick up in store, will that be considered one of the two purchases needed? I'm trying to order a showerhead however its not giving me the option to deliver, only for store pick up.

I do this regularly through airmilesshops.ca and it has always counted in the promos. As long as it posts as airmilesshops in your airmiles account you should be good. I use it on smaller orders that don't meet the free shipping limits unless picked up in-store or if the item is only in-stock in-store.
