Airmiles Armchair Chatter

So are there TWO offers of spend $50 get 100? One the coupon in today's e-mail PLUS one that's in the APP? If so i'll be loading the app onto my phone & taking a screen shot as well -- i don't have enough room to keep the danged thing there but for an extra 100 AM I'll try this work around!

Just checking to see if you had any luck using both s$50, g100 coupons! I don't *really* need anything at Rexall but for 200AM, I'll find $50 worth of stuff!

No -- there is absolutely nothing that could tempt me to leave the house today. I really have trouble dealing with the heat & humidity (one of the main reasons we head south between December-February) --- our house is a split level with the bedrooms on the 3rd floor and once it gets hot it stays that way for DAYS. I can't sleep, eating is a chore and i quickly become a puddle of whiny, miserable obnoxiousness. Living room was 27 when i got down here at 9:30 and it's the only room with any AC :O I could easily pull together a $50 order with our running list but no amount of AM would be enough.

This is exactly how i feel right now, sitting beside the AC with a bucket at my feet in case i actually do upchuck!


**ETA that was a gif and i had to stop if from moving cause it was making me feel worse

I tried to get the Mega Miles Sobeys bonus (plus the Airmilesshops bonus) that hadn't posted to my DH account today, and they wouldn't post anything until July 19th. They said that was 120 days after the purchases (made in March). So, I'll give it until then. Oddly, it was the same person who gave me the bonus Sobeys AirMiles a couple of days ago (unusual name, so I'm pretty sure it was the same person). I'm wondering if they are pushing back on being asked for them by so many people.

I bought 4 Sobeys gift cards and only 3 got the double AM. I hope it will be an easier process to claim back the missing 150 AM since records show double AM had been given out. I will call after July 19. Is Live Chat a better option? I hate to be on hold for hours.

I was debating about using both coupons but decided if the cashier didn't say no I had nothing to lose. Both worked, for me. Won't know if they both will post until tomorrow though.

Donald, try putting your feet in some cold water (as cold as you can stand it) as you sit in front of a fan. It may help a little.

That is WRONG! The timeline for the Airmilesshops is only 75 days!!! And for this promo that date WAS (yes it has already passed!!) June 26th. It never fails during these promos that the online shopping gets botched, EVERY.SINGLE.TIME i need to chase them down. It's rare that you get a customer service rep who is aware of the timeline difference but don't give in, you deserve those miles!

Here's the direct quote from the website:

When will my Miles appear in my account?
Base Miles may take up to 60 days from the date of qualifying purchase to be posted to your Collector account. Bonus Miles may take up to 75 days from the date of qualifying purchase to be posted to your Collector account. Please note, if you booked travel through an airmilesshops.ca online store, your Miles will be issued up to 60 days from when your trip was completed for Base Miles, and up to 75 days after trip completion for Bonus Miles.

Miles will show in your Collector account from airmilesshops.ca and the online store where you shopped, and Miles from a single transaction may appear in multiple line items if you took advantage of any Bonus Offers and/or sitewide multiplier events.

AND here's a snip of the terms on the back of the coupon (woah, holy big batman -- sorry )

Ugh, I definitely do not miss the weather in Ontario, that's for sure! Stinking hot in the summer and freezing cold in the winter. I'll take mild weather and a crapload of rain, thank you very much.

Do you have cooling towels? We got some for our trip to Mexico in March and they were amazing. I bought these and they worked like a dream.

Makes you wonder. I guess there really ARE that many people filling and running away. I wouldn't have thought so before.

I know in alberta the big problem is that some store clerks have been killed trying to keep a theft from making off without paying.

Personally, I do one of two things.
1. If I only need 25L, I use my phone to calculate the total cost of 25L on the walk from my car to the till. I usually round up (if it’s 35.23, I’ll get 36$).

2. If I want to fill my tank, I do a best estimate. In this case, I always overestimate. So if I think I need 50$ worth, I’ll prepay for 60$. I use a credit card because the difference between the prepaid amount and what I acutally got will be refunded to my card. I think if you pay on debit you have to go back inside and get a manual refund.

lots of gas stations here have had a prepay policy before the legislation came into effect, so i’ve been doing this for a while and it’s kind of become my new normal. i hope this detailed description makes prepaying easier for others

Just got back from Rexall and even though one of the cashiers was hesitant to scan both coupons, her supervisor told her to try and they both worked!

Spent $51.95 pre-tax and walked away with 217AM.

 

[kerreyn]

Just got back from Rexall too - spent $52.14, earned 202 AM.

 

[damo]

Wonder if the Rexall thing could be done twice to get 400 AM?

I don't see why not, both offers say one offer per transaction with no mention of only one offer per card. Sooo if you can do 2 $50 transactions you should get 400 AM.

Which two coupons? I saw a link to one coupon on here. I thought the other was a L&G (which I don't have an offer for).

If these are two actual coupons I can print out and ask the Cashier to scan, I'd go tonight! Could someone let me know please? Thanks!

I am going tonight for the 200 AM. I still have the $10 coupon from last week. Does it matter which coupon gets scanned first just in case? TIA!

The two are the email one that was linked here and the L&G one that needs to be scanned. (in my case, the cashier manually typed in the UPC from the L&G one)

Not sure if it makes a difference but they scanned the email one and then manually typed in the UPC from the L&G one second.

Did you get the doubles on multiple cards? The GC offer for Mega Miles could only be used once, so unless you were using 4 separate cards, I'd probably count myself lucky and not fight it.

Live Chat rarely takes more than a couple of minutes to connect with a person.

I think mine scanned the coupon on my phone first, then the paper coupon, so I don't think the order matters.

The MM coupon can be used 4 times maximum per account.
