Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[hdrolfe]

Kiddo has been walking home from school on his own and I normally get home about 10 minutes after him. I got a lock box for the kiet (like realtor's use) so he doesn't have to carry it, or lose it We've had a couple times where he couldn't get the key back in the box which luckily I notice before we leave the next morning or he wouldn't have a key. I originally wanted to get an electronic lock with a key pad. And Airmiles has one. It's not part of their (limited) black Friday discount but being Onyx gets me 20% off. Has anyone got any experience with these? https://rewards.airmiles.ca/merchandise/product/50970 I think NEST is a solid product. It would eat up a lot of my airmiles, but since I don't really have a trip planned it might be worth it. I think they retail for over $300. I'd rather not pay for it out of pocket

My mum got one put on her house when the built the "grannie suite " on to my childhood home that my sister bought. Loves it. Lock with the push of the lock button. Easier on the arthritis in her hands. No more handing out keys to my sister and I. DD9 also knows the combo so she can get into grannies house on the days she is dismissed early after walking their. Her house is about a 10min walk from the school. Regular dismissal DH get there in time to pick her up, early dismissal and she walks to grannies.

Some of my black friday purchases have been on sale, which is great, but then I get less miles LOL

I would strongly suggest if you are shopping online and delivery is through Canada Post, to get them done asap so there is plenty of time for your package to arrive before Christmas. A lot of people wait until December and then there is a mad rush for deliveries, like, even the 24th!

Hi Hon
There is nothing like peace of mind for a parent. I say buy it.
My dad had one on his house and I loved it,,make things easier for when you are juggling a bunch of groceries and searching for your keys too.
I know my neighbour recently bought one with the keys in it (Realtor) so that when she had heart surgery the home care people could just get the keys out and come in and assist her.
I would read over the specifics of the requirements,,I tried and don't understand what it says.

Hugs
Mel

Thanks guys - I ordered it. And a fancy toaster oven (mine has been not toasting well any more, and smoking A LOT). Now I have 500 AM left oh well! STB will build it back up a bit any way!! I guess no trips for awhile for me lol.

Just back from Blue/Black Friday shop. Sobeys and Foodland 955AM spent $248. Let's just say I have lots of oatmeal to fill big boys tummies (he's 6'5" and clears snow so this will make a great snack). I had a loaded 35AM when you spend $135 but that one didn't work with the store coupon of spend $150 get 150AM. Other than that all worked so it was a good morning shopping.

 

[osully]

I would call the MyOffers help line to say it didn’t go through. They always put the spend offers for me even when there is a threshold coupon!

 

[osully]

If anyone is planning on shopping in store or online at H&M today they have a promo code on their website for 15% off and free shipping no minimum!

Code 3239.

Was about to buy a $15 pair of flats in store and checked the website first. Now I got a dress to for 15% off and the 15x AM thanks to AM Shops.

They have LOTS of cute Mickey stuff too btw!

I just read through 15 pages...you were all very chatty while I was away on a business trip in the UK! Now I'm soooooo confused with all the offers, plus jet lag, I'm thinking of taking this blue Friday/black Friday off, lol.

 

[accm]

I should be getting 782 miles from all my shopping today. Someone please take away my credit card before I spend more money!! Plus an additional 100 from Sephora on Monday.

I just really hope I don’t need to go chase miles from airmilesshop.

 

[osully]

Heading to do Blue Friday at Sobeys soon hoping to snag some Oatmeal, cinnamon raisin bread, and scrubbing bubbles!

 

[ottawamom]

Stupid me, turns out I didn't load it. At least I figured that out before I called.

Headed to Brampton Foodland,,No Maple Brown sugar oatmeal so scratched that,bought 12 boxes meat .
Headed home unloaded and headed to Sobeys,,,
Lots of oatmeal bought lots,,
Lost out on meeting maximum spends to get additional airmiles by splitting the shop but did end up with over 1,000 airmiles in total.

Good shop today.

I'm not quite done, and I think we will be earning close to 3000AM today, if not more. I got 550 at Sobeys, and then DH ordered our new computer we have been saving for at dell which had its own 10x multiplier, so we figure about 2250 from there alone - I am super excited about that one, I think we might make it to onyx this year because of it, assuming the miles post. I've done smaller orders at newegg, etsy, amazon and indigo. I still have thinkgeek to do, and I'm waiting till Monday to see if apple has a multiplier then for the iPod DS wants - it's not on sale, so I might as well wait.

Only think I'm annoyed about is that my new BMO AM card hasn't arrived yet, I was really hoping to use it for all this shopping. But we are much closer to being ready for Christmas than we were a few hours ago!

Back from Safeway! I spent $237 and earned 1063 air miles. My daughter spent $129 and earned 472 air miles.

The foodbank is the recipient of 24 boxes of oatmeal! I'm happy to report that the donation box at my Safeway was overflowing, and not just for oatmeal.

I also earned a .15 cents per litre off on gas, which is great since my SUV takes premium and holds 100 litres!

 

[Donald - my hero]

WOW there have been some seriously amazing hunting trips today gang!! I don't think we're going to even attempt to hit up a Sobeys or Foodland. There's no way we could hit the threshold needed to make either of those partner coupons so not worth the trip. Hubby decided that his birthday gift to me would be super personal and handed off his cold I feel like poop and trying to force myself to hit the mall for something that's not even related to AM (gasp, is that allowed in here?!?!) My favourite clothing store has almost everything 50% PLUS since it's my birthday month I get another 10% off but that would mean taking the bus.

I'm making hubby take me to Shell later so i can pick up some gift cards to do my online shopping at some point this weekend.

Just back from Black and Blue Friday.

Sobeys, spent $129, received 946 am. Mostly Blue Friday items with a few items thrown in (24 boxes of oatmeal, a lot of VH). Heads up that White Swan napkins are regular price $2.49 but have 15 airmiles on them until Jan 2.

Foodland, spent $125.83, received 261 and more importantly 2 Foodland STB checkmarks. The STB airmiles are listed as STB on the receipt and are included in the receipt total miles. Most of the shop wasn't Blue Friday items.
