Airmiles Armchair Chatter

FYI my Shell 220 bonus AM for $200 worth of gift cards (did 5 separate transactions) purchased on Friday just posted.

Quick!! Highly recommend if you need to shop at the places they have gift cards for anyways! Dad needed a bday present (SportChek), we always order random stuff on Amazon (and books don’t give you bonus miles on AirMilesShops), loaded up my Starbucks app, and we have Cineplex VIP dinner prepaid fo Thursday!

All money I would have spent anyways pretty much and only would get 1AM/$20 via my MasterCard.

I LOVE SHELL!

For the Shell gift card AM promotion, are there signs in the participating stores?

To be honest, I did not check. There was a link Recently on here that did show all locations participating.

I believe that the shell offer ended yesterday at least in Ontario. I think there were two stores in Alberta continuing. There were a few different versions floating around on here none of which I can directly find on shell website.

The offer has been extended in Edmonton until June 3rd, there's a shell close to me that's listed but I hate going in blind and hoping things work, that's why I asked if there were signs.

Hi
stfxkid posted this information a few pages back.
The store I was in had no special signs identifying the promotion..
Here is the Shell website that says the promo is from April 23 to June 3rd for store/gas stations on the list.
the pdf is available on this page to see what stores are participating.

Thought i would check the website myself (working for me again in both browsers BTW) and this goodie popped up today!!!! Great news for those of us who used the IGA sign up offer even though we don't live in Quebec as an insurance offer!!! ***It's showing on both accounts as well

Ok update to this for me ... fine on phone in Chrome, fine on laptop that is running under Windows 7 on all my browsers. However, on the Surface which is running Windows 10 it is only working in Firefox, Chrome gives me that message (and an entire PAGE of those reference numbers)

MEEE TOOO!!!! Thanks for posting @TFC_UNTIL_I_DIE I would not have looked otherwise. Now I know I am totally good for the 5 different Mega Miles purchases. I was thinking the IGA might not count, seemed too easy!!!

Well the system righted itself because I am able to log in now.

Email coupon from Rexall for bonus miles -- if you are able to combine with the LnG offer you *might* have (on one of my cards but not the other) there's a possibility you *might* get 100 AM for a $50 spend (not worth it in my books because you can't fight it not appearing on your receipt at the till when the wording is VERY CLEAR)

Spend $50 get 50 AM Valid May 9th & 10th

The Friday Rewards offers for IGA QC are online for you guys that are not too far from the border: https://www.iga.net/en/flyer

Not as good as what people out west get on their Blue Friday promotions but much better than what I ever saw at IGA! Planning to be at my IGA when it opens at 8am so I can go to my 9am appointment and then work after.

I got the 10 AM for signing up with IGA as well. Every little bit helps especially when it is another offer for the bigger bonus.

I am so torn about what trip to plan next, do I plan a cruise or just a week at Disney? Do I plan a shorter cruise and a few days at Disney? Flights from Ottawa in December are really low right now, and there's free dining (though I suspect it's all sold out for the dates I'd want). But I would rather go in February when I really need a break from winter. I guess I'll just keep saving airmiles and hope something pops up that looks fantastic. I haven't even been home a month from the last trip and already I want to go away again!

I'm hoping for some good airmiles deal for the May long weekend somewhere I can buy gardening supplies, I really want to do some flowers and maybe pots with veggies too.

You can buy a Home Depot gift card at Shell and get air miles. I usually buy my soil and hanging baskets from there, so I bought a $100 gift card and earned 110 air miles! Thanks to all the great advice on this thread!

I just wanted to provide some information I read on the Air Miles for Disney & More FB group...there is a post that a person called about the current Air Miles tickets (not the Canadian discounted ones) and this is what was posted:

Lowdown on non-discounted AirMiles Walt Disney World Parks passes.

The 7-Day ticket currently going for 5,400 AirMiles on their website actually DOES expire! January 14, 2019 according to the CastMember I spoke with.

That said THE VALUE is retained beyond the expiry date.

The former policy of no expiration until 2030 is rapidly becoming history.

Another person responded and posted this:

When i was at the parks last month.... at disney spring customer care or whatever its called, she advised that both tickets that i have (the second batch of cdn sale) don't expire until 2030, she said just take a pic of the expiry now and fight it when you are ready to use. Because it currently shows expiry 2030.

So...if you have WDW tickets that show an expiration date of 2030, take a picture of the expiry or print out the page just in case because it looks like Disney *might* be changing the expiration dates (especially with Star Wars Land opening in 2019)...

I saw that too. Take it with a huge grain of salt because that group, in general, is very uniformed with regard to both AM and WDW.

WDW, to this point, has never made a change to old tickets. The rules in place at the time a ticket is issued are grandfathered. Not to say they would never change things but I really doubt it.
