Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[stfxkid]

When I went into my local Shell (in Cambridge, Pinebush and Franklin location) they said that they were participating in it, although I never actually bought any. So, there are likely locations doing it that aren't on the list.

Tried it didn't work yesterday.

But i found i found 2 GTA locations on a different list in:
Etobicoke
Scarborough

Also has Alberta and Saskatchewan locations

List

Wow this Shell thing is getting confusing....I am assuming this weekend is still the end of the road for this promo in Ottawa

sigh...and of course the Alberta city I live in doesn't have any stores participating...surprise surprise. It's a wonder I collect as many Am as I do with only one place I can shop regularly. The hubby just got on board, and we have the new AM mastercard coming to help us collect more AM for the destination wedding and hopefully I can talk him into a quick Universal trip as a graduation gift for the son ) I have a plan ow just to get everything lined up so we can swing both trips

Thank you for posting, finally a Shell in the GTA! Here's hoping this promo expands to other GTA locations. But Etobicoke is doable!

Has any one else seen the H2O products at other Rexalls, hopefully in the GTA? I really dont shop there too often but I would make a specific trip just for this.

Promenade Mall and 481 Bloor St. W have H2O products.

 

[Donald - my hero]

None of the downtown core Rexall that I went in have those products

So for the Shell
If I buy a 100.00 gift card
I would get 100 airmiles?
100 divided by 5 = 20 x 5 =100 airmiles?
sorry I have never bought GC at Shell for airmiles before.

you get 100 AM plus another 10 instore for 110. You can do max 100 per transaction and max 5 transactions per day. And it needs to be the right shell - some aren't on the list. Also it can't be shell giftcards.

I've been sweeping up the Home Depot ones in the west end....no issues. Even put all on my cc to get another 10AM each transaction

 

[osully]

I got 55AM for each $50 gift card I bought at the Barrhaven Shell just now. Bough 4 gift cards for $200 and 220AM total. Needed 2 of them as gifts. Picked up one for Starbucks for my husband and I to use, and one for Cineplex as we are seeing “Solo” on Thursday at the VIP theatre

Ottawamum - believe that you are off on adventure tomorrow - happy travels and enjoy!

Well it looks like I may just have to make a trip to Etobicoke this weekend.
thanks for the info

Do it on Sat if you can - the offer expires on Sunday but not sure if that means it works on Sunday or not.....

I just did another $500 in Home Depot....but I'm run out of time....

Rexall Ontario flyer May 4-10 has been posted by a regular contributor to SmartCanucks, however don't get too excited.

https://forum.smartcanucks.ca/425940-rexall-pharma-plus-gta-may-4-10-a-canada/

@Pumpkin1172 , @Mickey&JoshNut, Kobo gift cards 20% off but no airmiles.

Thanks for the info...stopped at Rexall on my way home from work today but they could not get the gift card promo to work...it was not taking the 20% off....the manager went in the back to call head office but after 15 minutes of waiting, I gave up....I will try again next week....has anyone been successful in getting the 20% off the advertised gift cards?

work near Promenade. Guess what the wife is getting for mothers day.

Can somebody explain the travel vouchers to me? I keep reading about them but not sure what they are - I am trying to decide if I want to keep my miles on dream or switch to cash. Thanks!

 

[Donald - my hero]

Don't think i mentioned the Rexall Flyers for this week or not -- other than the stupid weekend offer that screams on the front of the flyer "20X miles when you spend $75" immediate knee-jerk reaction is WOOT that's great but quick math shows it's LOUSY! Spend $75 and you'll earn 60 AM (1 AM /$20 times 20) It's not even a 1:1 ratio at that threshold .. bump up to $80 and it's at least 1:1
There are several offers in the flyer but none of them come even close to 1:1

Wait till Monday and spend $40 on "Head-to-toe" products and you will get 60 AM. That's a very broad category so not hard to do. New batch of LnG offers showed up this morning BUT ..they were all offered within the last month so not new at all.

• Spend $50 get 50 Wed & Thurs
• 1 Sensodyne or Pronamel Toothpaste 75ml-100ml get 5 AM
• 1 Buckley's Complete or Cough Congestion Syrup 150ml get 12 AM
• 2 Lindt Swiss Classic Chocolate Bars 100g get 4 AM
• 1 Aveeno Hand And Body Lotions get 10 AM
• 1 Gillette Foamy Shave Cream 311g get 4 AM

There's been a fair bit of confusing discussion around these, I'll try to sum it up for you

• 909 Dream miles = $100 travel voucher to use to book a package or cruise
• ONLY a few select travel agencies take them
• ONLY a few select carriers take them (WJ, AC, Transat & Sunquest plus some cruise lines)
• No limit to the number you can use
• they don't expire
• Doesn't apply to deposit, taxes, service fees or insurance
• Non-refundable (cancel your trip and you're SOL)
• EVENTUALLY you will be able to use these online to book yourself

There was an entire thread discussing the scary thought of these not being covered by trip insurance:
How do you insure trip paid with dream vouchers?

We've been collecting our miles with the intention of cashing them in for the vouchers until the above discussion and now we've decided that we will do one of 3 things.

1. Book an all inclusive trip thru some other method and use our miles for flights/car rentals/hotels
2. Piece together our own "package" by booking hotel, flights etc
3. Wait till the online system goes live and book a last-minute package with the hope that we'll get the ability to add insurance to the miles again!
