I'm not sure if everyone gets the same coupons in the Metro app, but I have a spend $25 get 25. I always forget to check there for coupons. I believe they turn over Thursday mornings.

Ohhh thanks so much for the reminder! I have the same one this week and I need basics so I will be hitting Metro today. I always for get about these too.

Metro's offers are targeted so we don't all have the same ones and when you haven't shopped there recently they scream "PLEASE COME BACK!" Our secondary card which is only used during big promos, currently has Spend $10 get 10, buy any fresh fruit get 3, any butter get 5, and any cookies get 3, any eggs get 7, any irresistible product get 7. These offers aren't available to load until Thursday morning.

Sobey's/Foodland offers are slightly less friendly (IMHO) the threshold spends are always far too high for us and they only ever seem to be on products we've bought which is fine but since we only shop there during promos these won't entice me unless those same things are on sale again . These offers are available to load mid to late afternoon Wednesday.

Rexall's LoadnGo offers which you can find thru the AM website or APP are bizarrely inconsistent. For the last 2 months the main card has had the EXACT same items and a wickedly high threshold -- they are things I buy but seriously, how many times a year do i need to buy a bottle with 100 Benadryl in it???!?!?

The links to access all these offers are in the first post.

How long do airmilesshops miles usually take to post? Is it different per store, or about the same overall? I'm dying to see our BF airmiles in my account, they should push me to onyx.....hoping they post this week sometime, but I know the system must be crazy busy.

Let me guess, you didn't participate in the big promo that was solely based on online shopping? If not, then you aren't aware that the answer to that is basically "whenever they feel like it to the 12th of never" This is IMHO one of the WORST parts of the programme that requires constant follow-up on our part. Some sponsors post within days of the order, some the day you get your shipment email (Amazon tends to follow this method), others follow no hard & fast rule. It always seems to be worse during this big promos and is a major thorn in my side. There's also no reasoning behind why some will post no problem but the same store won't post for an order placed an hour later, in the same household, on the same computer, same browser, same card ... maybe i need to hold my tongue a certain way before i hit enter

Sorry not much help but there isn't a clear cut answer to this. Just remember if you do end up needing to chase them down that the timeline for reporting miles is different than others : base is 60 days but bonus is only 75 days, don't let someone steer you wrong on that!

It was so SLOW last night, kept timing out on me as i tried to place one last order --- took till 11:45 before it finally went thru. Trying now and it won't load AT ALL if i do to the direct link but if i go to this link (that i keep bookmarked for when it's acting up) it goes to the list of all the stores and I can sign in from there

Sheesh! Thanks. The big one we are waiting for is Dell, it should be over 2000 AM, so I'll be fighting for that one if it doesn't show up. I hate having to wait 60-75 days, though!!!

That would be a hard one to wait for those miles to post. Just keep your receipts, screen shots and put a reminder on your phone, and if they don't post...get on the horn and get those points!!! It is discouraging, at how long some take to post and more annoying when we have to chase those earned AM.

I wonder how many miles they " save " by not posting properly, and people either forget or just don't care to chase the earned AM

I read an article the other day talking about how Canadians are more reward driven than any other purchasers in the world! We apparently have more loyalty programmes and a lot of us plan our spending around those bonuses (and my wallet/keychain are both a testament to that ) HOWEVER, there are also a lot of people who leave those earned rewards sitting on the table.

Related to Airmiles, i read a post on Facebook last week that had me actually stop and yell out loud ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! Someone commented on one of the posts that Airmiles made about this year's StB "I'm still waiting for my miles from last year to post, when will that happen?" How on earth could you leave 2,000 miles sitting out there if you earned them?? Why would you wait a year to chase them down??

Sobeys ON is spend $100 get 100AM again, with coupon. I swear this has been every weekend for the past month and I love it!

Remember that crazy promotion August 24-26, swipe 5 times get 55AM (or some variation on that)? The Terms and Conditions say they should post within 90 days. We have now surpassed that so its time to follow up for anyone who didn't receive theirs back mid-October.

Oh geez, I can't tell if I got those miles or not. Anyone have the original email still? I usually save those emails until my miles get posted, then delete.

 

[ottawamom]

It was a gold/onyx offer. This was the one for ONYX. Most people received theirs sometime the week of October 12-17th if that helps.

You deserve something amazing. Like this:

Get up to 55 AIR MILES® Bonus Miles
when you shop and swipe at any AIR MILES Partner.

Offer valid August 24 to 26, 2018.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Oh right! Hmm, I can't remember if I did this or not and of course, my Trash email doesn't go back that far!
