Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Days In the Sun]

My reasoning is because it says "Use your BMO Mastercard at 3 participating partners" & once you enter your postal code it shows you a list of Participating partners near you. That is one thing they're *USUALLY* pretty clear about -- when online shopping is required it mentions the website to use to get the miles. Just would hate to have you miss an easy 500 miles.

And the math?? Yeah, i dunno

Hmmm, I think I may have to give this more thought. When I enter my postal code it gives me 18 options, so if I have to shop at those locations only, I'm now back to 1. I hope I get a good offer from Rexall tomorrow lol.

Thank you for the help.

I only was able to get ONE stupid store to show up until i zoomed in and then out .. eventually it showed me everything! ALSO -- i looked when i was in Toronto and every single partner popped up -- including rental car agencies in The PATH!

Anyone else received an Onyx exclusive offer (and targeted since you need to activate the offer)? I got spend 100$+ at IGA, get 50 AM, Spend 40$+ at Jean Coutu, get 20 AM (plus there's a 10X the AM this weekend so I might do this one) and spend 60$+ at Children Place, get 30AM. Offer valid only Sept 28-30 2018

Mine was for the Childrens Place, same as yours, and for Global Pet Foods, spend $60 get 15. Nothing great there.

I also got those targeted offers, for Children's Place and Global Pet foods. But I don't plan to shop at either over the next 3 days so won't be able to take advantage of those offers.

I don't normally make New Year's Resolutions but was aware i needed to cut out any unnecessary stress from my life -- that group was the first thing i dropped

I want to unfollow the group because it just makes me mad but at the same time it makes me laugh. Right now the exact same question 5-6 times a day is just ridiculous and I can't understand why the admin doesn't put a stop to it.....although, she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer either.

Good morning (mostly) ladies...

I know there are probably other boards that are more technical for a question like this, but I don't want to get too complicated. I'm taking my family on the Fantasy leaving next Sat and my old camera has bit the dust. So I was wondering what kinds of cameras you find are best to get video (my little guy is 6). I read so much about Go-Pro but it seems you need to synch with an iPhone and mine is corporate, so makes me wonder if its just better to use the iPhone. I'm not a professional, just want to take some film of family playing around at Castaway etc. I like the input of my AM Peeps!

Sorry, no suggestions however I just wanted to tell you how very JEALOUS I am. Have a great trip. Wish I was going.

I received the Onyx targeted offer too. 15 air miles for a $60+ spend at Global Pet Foods and 50 air miles for a $75+ spend at the liquor mart.

I normally just use my phone (I am android though ) My son wants a GoPro because he could take water slide videos and such (he's 8) but mama is too cheap to get him one. I may get him a knock off one through Amazon for Christmas. I believe you can get one of the type through airmiles, but if you are leaving that soon it probably wouldn't arrive in time. I'm not sure about syncing. I would assume in order to post things online you would need to connect it to a laptop/phone/tablet type situation to upload.

Also jealous you are going on a cruise... I need to plan a vacation

 

[isabellea]

I use my iphone and my Olympus Tough point and shoot camera when there’s sand and water involved. My Olympus takes great pictures underwater and is kid-proof (they dropped it very often). I rarely carry my DSLR on cruises.

Rexall, sorry if already posted, didn't see it,

Personal offers start today and go until Wed. Oct. 3. Good if you want to combine with $10 gift card promo on the weekend, with beauty 100am and $10 gift card promo on Sunday or wait to see what email coupon Monday might bring.

Other option for this week is it's likely a high airmiles Thursday only coupon??? Usually get one the Thursday before a long weekend. I just checked emails before Labour Day weekend and Thursday was 100am/$50 one day only with no Monday to Wednesday email coupon. Labour Day Long weekend was also 100am/$50.

I have a targeted load and go offer for spend $25, get 50am - it's good from today until next Wednesday. I'm going to hold off and see if we get an email offer next week. If not, I'll just pop in an grab enough halloween stuff to get the 50.

My BMO airmiles came through! So 4 online shops (Rona pickup, Lowes pickup and 2 Staples' deliveries) didn't quality, added Metro and Rexall and it did! Next time I'm sticking to bricks and mortar!

just putting this out there ....

The Sobey's in Whitby (across Toys'r'Us) had 1 The Bay gift card and several of the Kobo and ... shoot... whatever that 3rd was. I forget now. They were there when I left the store this afternoon.

 

[marchingstar]

My BMO bonus posted too! I checked my account earlier today and saw nothing, so I figured I’d be arguing for my miles on Monday. it’s unusual to see miles post so late in the day, but I’ll count it as a lucky surprise.

 

[momof2gr8kids]

No Mastercard bonus points for me, and I did 3 of the stores listed when I entered my PC. I have a MC elite but didn't receive an email...so maybe I don't qualify.

 

[TFC_UNTIL_I_DIE]

Still nothing for me either

 

[dancin Disney style]

I just did the third MC purchase yesterday. I didn't get the email and I have the Shell card. So now we wait and see.

We don't use our iPhones to record videos on vacations because it just uses up all the storage space. Ever get the message "Storage is full" when you try to take an important spontaneous fun photo with your iPhone? Hate that! We do use my iPhone 7+ and my husband's iPhone 8+ to take pretty good pics and we no longer lug around our DSLR too often.

We have a Sony Handycam that we got several years ago. This one is similar to what we have. https://www.sony.com/electronics/handycam-camcorders/hdr-cx405. It is so light and compact, it fits in your palm. No issues with ours at all. Prices have definitely gone down over the years.

Enjoy your trip - another envious one here!!
