Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ottawamom]

I was on the Metro catering site and I just don't think I can stand to use that offer. Hoping Metro has another offer that comes up later. They wanted $25 for a container of soup and a baguette. :/

That must be soup and a baguette for X#of people (I hope). I'm just about to run out and pick up the cake I ordered on the 15th we'll see how it goes.

So the shell gift card thing - does each gift card need to be a separate transaction? I just bought 2 $50 amazon gift canards but it looks like I only got points for one. At least my STB coupon went through.

Great find Disney Addicted I just went on line and ordered the lasagna from Metro for tomorrow. I guess we provide our air miles card and coupon at pick up. I didn' see a spot online.

Yes, as far as I can tell we show the coupon to the Cashier and she is suppose to input that code into her cash register and scan our air miles card. I hope something shows up on the receipt. Enjoy your meal tomorrow.

Maybe they needed to be separate purchases then. Do you mean you only got 20 points for the $50 gift card once instead of twice? Did you get 10 miles for the "1 mile for every $10 in-store purchase" as well as the 5 STB?

Whyen I purchased my three SportChek gift cards (a week before before STB) I made them separate purchases and received 20+5 for each of them.

OMG...it’s another dumb Facebook night. The Sobeys $200/250 is supposedly not for the catering trays in the ad. It applies to the entire store because it doesn’t actually say that it’s for the pictured item. Good heavens with that logic we should all be getting the total number of miles that the flyer states are available.

This particular person actually argued it at customer service and won. My guess is that she got the miles to go away.

Wow! What cheek! It's clearly for the catering trays. It's too bad customer service gave in to her.

The post has now been removed so not sure what that means...perhaps the group admin finally did something. She responded to me again saying something to the effect that she was due the miles because of the order by date.
The whole thing is just mind blowing to me. How on earth customer service would give in to that...….


and just to be clear in my own mind I went back to the flyer and looked at all the AM offers again. NOT A SINGLE one of the blue bubbles has any product specific wording. Why am I repeatedly surprised by how dumb (or entitled) people have become??? Does this mean I'm getting old and judgemental?

This has been under my skin since i first read it -- finally have some time while the laundry is churning away so i had to dig into it to see if i see what on earth is going on. There is no question in my mind that the offer refers to the catering menu because if you go to the Sobey's page directly to check the flyer and click on that it takes you to their catering page, click on anything else and it simply circles the item and puts it in your list. There is no way i'd be fighting to get those miles even using the excuse of there being no "order by date" because the flyer also states Prices & offers in effect from the 15th to the 21st. Nope, that person was waaaay out of line and i pity the poor person who dealt with her at the customer service desk. And a big part of me also wants to know how she spent $200 on groceries AND did she also have the nerve to do this on one of the days the coupon for spend $100 get 100 AM was/is valid?!?!?!

As my hubby says "it's because of you we can't have nice things" This type of behaviour is why i left that group within weeks of joining, huge learning curve for some of them AND a massive sense of entitlement! (but i know for a fact that i AM getting older and snippier )

Question for those that did Samsung pay signup before STB. Did you get your airmiles???

I created an account Aug 13, my airmiles number "stuck", still there, just checked. No airmiles received. I do not have a Samsung phone (or I'd definitely be using that Samsung pay app!).

 

[Days In the Sun]

Curious to know - people who say they don't do $100 at Sobeys - is it because you don't do all your groceries there? ...or is it because you don't spend that much on groceries period? I find I have to put some items back so I only spend $100 a week on groceries!

I ALWAYS use a calculator when I go through the aisles to make sure I'm not overspending or missing my AM spend threshold!

Many weeks my total grocery spend is under $100, other weeks much greater. I "save" purchases that I can get at Rexall and Shoppers for when those items are on sale and I can work the points system. I also save a lot by pricematching which I can't do at Sobeys, so more of my groceries are bought at Superstore and No Frills. I am fortunate to live somewhere with many options.

Yes I did, Created account on August 10th and the miles posted to my account on 14th.

I DO have a supported phone but the dang app won't work and no one knows why!! I can't get it actually load on my phone, it just hangs waiting for my to verify my fingerprint.

Got 50 (twice) dated Aug 10. Have also received 5 AM a handful of times (when I remember to try and use the app to scan the card), a few times at Shell even though they tell me it won't work, they do try to scan it. And also twice at Sobeys when they refused to scan from the phone and typed it in manually. I still got the bonus for some reason...

 

[Days In the Sun]

Sounds like my Samsung airmiles are somewhere with my Rexall flu email airmiles lol. I also didn't get airmiles for my purchases in August with airmilesshop multipliers (the contest 5x and 7x ones).

I think I will sign up again for Samsung and see what happens.

Thank you for the info @Donald - my hero and @hdrolfe.

@Donald - my hero, is your operating system version older?

Never got mine. I had to do a AM chat to get them. Have never received the bonus miles for using it either so I stopped doing that.

No, it's a brand new phone and it had an update about 3 weeks ago.

Does anyone know which gift cards qualify for the 20 bonus miles at Shell?

If LCBO is included it’s a better deal than at Sobeys right now.
