Now I can't decide if I want to do the charge $700 to MC, earn 240 miles at Sobeys on my card OR this earn 400 miles at 1 partner, get 200 bonus miles on DH's card.

I'm thinking the 400 / 200 miles offer is better for me. If Sobeys has a good base offer each week, then I can fill in the gaps with product offers.

Did anyone get this offer:

Mine was collect 850 AM and get 425. That's a lot to collect unless the 1000 bonus hits and they count that but that's doubtful.

It doesn't actually say at 1 partner, it says...….

Offer is valid from October 3, 2018 to October 31, 2018. Any Mile earned in connection with eligible purchases made at AIR MILES Partners between October 3, 2018 and October 31, 2018 with the Collector Number associated with the email recipient’s Collector Account will qualify toward the earn requirement. The AIR MILES MEGA MILES 650 Bonus Miles and 1,250 Bonus Miles are not eligible Miles for this offer. All eligible Miles must be earned before 11:59 p.m. EST on October 31, 2018 and subsequently posted to your Collector Account. Limit of one offer per Collector Number. Please allow up to 90 days after the end of the offer period for Miles to be posted to your Collector Account.

Also answers my question about the Mega Miles being eligible. It will be great for anyone getting the BMO 500 miles posted.

I think you are supposed to earn 400 at any one partner and get another 200 miles. There is no limit as to how many partners you apply it to.

WOW, can i just say how much i LOVE the customer service that comes with AMEX???!!!??? We discovered my card had been compromised in the middle of the night when i woke up to an email at 7 yesterday morning. Hubby called them by 8:30 and i now have the new card in my hand! They caught the error before we woke up, stopped the payment and froze my card without us even knowing something fishy had happened.

That's not the way I read it. It does not say anything about earning at one partner, it says Any Mile earned in connection with eligible purchases made at AIR MILES Partners between October 3, 2018 and October 31, 2018 with the Collector Number associated with the email recipient’s Collector Account will qualify toward the earn requirement.
Also, I'm pretty sure its a one shot deal. I could be wrong though, its happened before, lol.

 

[Donald - my hero]

URGH working on cleaning this mess i created up so it makes sense

I *THINK* i've made myself clearer but who knows ... still have my fingers crossed to get this offer for our cards. Huhm, wonder if it's on the secondary card -- didn't check it!

@ilovetotravel1977 -- where did you get this offer?? email, app, online??

 

[Disney Addicted]

Ottawamom and Donald -> bless you! I always check for my load+go air miles on the computer. I never thought to look at my AM app. Turns out while I don't have a threshold spend on the computer but I do on the APP. I'll be going to Rexall tomorrow to get 200 miles for $50. Thanks!

TBH, I like your interpretation better...

We had this offer last year (not yet but maybe we'll get lucky!) As i highlights and underlined -- any miles earned at any partners will be added up and count towards whatever your threshold is AND it is a one shot deal.

Anyone who gets this offer will get a significant leg up by shopping at Rexall tomorrow BTW!

Sobeys/Foodland GC deal. Last time this was offered was late June this year. When I look at last years spreadsheet. The next time we are likely to see a Sobeys/Foodland GD deal is early December. Plan your purchases accordingly.

 

[bababear_50]

I haven't received any email extra bonus miles offer.
I have budgeted for 5 Sobeys gift cards= $750.00= 750 airmiles.
I have a copy of the flyer should they say no to the purchase of 5 instead of 4 Gift Cards.
Thanks for the info from your spreadsheet ottawamom.

Am I understanding the Rexall deal for Oct 4th
So I printed the email coupon spend $50.00 get 100 airmiles
I went to airmiles Autumn Hub I see a coupon for spend $50.00 on Oct 4th and get 100 airmiles and printed the coupon.
The barcode numbers are different on the two coupons.
Now I should get 200 airmiles when I spend 50.00 right?
Hugs Mel

 

[cari12]

Did anyone get this offer:

I got this one, get 300 AM if I earn 600 AM. I need a Blue Friday!!

Do you think miles earned from my BMO MasterCard statement would count or would it have to be “shops”?

I didn't realize the air miles hub had a coupon. Thanks! Hmm.. yes, different bar codes.

Now to add to your question... I have an offer in my Air Miles APP spend $50 get 100 miles. Will all THREE stack and get 300 miles for $50?

Yes. Its AM's collected from AM Partners of which BMO is one.

YES, they are 2 separate offers and the last time there were 2 coupons like this they stacked and if you buy any items in your loaded offers those will work as well. Worth noting that the barcode on the coupon found in the Offer Hub is the same as the one that is in the APP

No, it you read the T & C posted in several of the posts above it says "Offer is valid from October 3, 2018 to October 31, 2018. Any Mile earned in connection with eligible purchases made at AIR MILES Partners between October 3, 2018 and October 31, 2018" and i take that to mean it needs to be a brick & mortar store that you scan your card and earn miles for a purchase.
BUT @tinkerone has a interesting point .. now I'm not sure! Still pondering this -- it does say purchases made AT a partner and you don't really "buy" anything thru MC, do you???

@Disney Addicted -- NO -- the 2 codes are the same in the app & offer hub (i know cause i got excited as well and checked )

Thanks Jacqueline
Yep I got a bit excited about a triple bonus but a double will be worth it.
I am headed out of town for a few days tomorrow afternoon so i have like 1/2 hour to get this shop done and then hit the road.
Time to make a quick list.
Rexall Flyer is here but a bit fuzzy Oct 5-11

LOL - that's funny. I was so excited for a few minutes there. Still, 200 for $50 is great! Thank you.
