Thanks - was hoping not to have to buy 3.

I don't have the Sobeys flyer in front of me, but there's mayonnaise on - spend $10, get 25(I think) airmiles. The mayonnaise is $4.99. I do go thru mayo, so I'm thinking about this one, but would I have to buy 3 to get the deal? Or is $9.98 close enough for the AM? Anyone try this one yet - maybe you can post your result?

The deal is $10 on these participating Knorr or Hellman's products. There is Lipton Soup, Cup a Soup and Knorr Sidekicks on sale for $1.49 or $1.39 so perhaps two Hellman's and one Knorr would work? At least that's how I am reading it... will be trying it out on my way home tonight.

hdrolfe's solution will work. I picked up a combination of different soups to get over the $10 and got my AM.

Not-so-patiently waiting for Sobeys to post the 70 AM from the Mark's $50 gift card from last week. Once those are posted to DH's account, I can purchase our third WDW 5-day pass! That's a BIG check mark on my list of things to earn AM for!

I popped onto the AM site today to discover that.....40 more Foodland points have posted, and.....I'm now ONYX! Interesting, I "priced" out a flight to Vancouver and discovered that it is more points than a flight to FLL. And we wonder why Canadians don't travel in our own country.

My son is going skiing in Austria this winter instead of heading to BC. Cheaper airfare, cheaper lodging.

ONYX members in Calgary, there is a 1AM event for you November 20th. Sounds interesting.

An afternoon of Wine and Doughnuts at Jelly Modern Doughnuts - Package for One (1) - November 20th, 2016 - Calgary AB

Log into Events and Attractions, then Airmiles Events Exclusive. It's the big pink ad.

Whoa! That sounds yummy!

This is a backwards Airmiles post --- Sears currently has an offer -- get an extra 10 if you order at least $20.00 that goes till October 1st. Since i have 2 GC for $50.00 from 2 recent AM promotions i figure i'd use at least one and look what i found in the outlet section

Not something i'd wear (too hot) but maybe someone has a person in their family who'd love to lounge around !

Stopped at Sobeys on the way home tonight. I spent $76 and got 184 AM, so not bad! I did get a mayo and some soups and got the 25 AM on that. I had to go looking for the sliders buns, I wasn't sure if the buns they had near the display would work and preferred the little ones any way, for the pork roast deal. I think everything I got except some frozen OJ had bonus AM associate with it. I like when that happens!

Thanks! I just ordered the one piece Mickey for one daughter and the 2 piece Mickey for my girl in Finland. Christmas clothing....done. Their ornaments came today, too, so I am on my way.

Does anyone know if Rexall sells reading glasses? I just went to Shoppers and bought my first pair and realized I should have gone to Rexall and used the Spend $40 get 80 coupon. I need milk anyway, so I'd hit the 40 pretty easy if they sell them.

Yes they do! Return them to Shoppers and get thee to a Rexall --- or buy more for the inevitable "where are those stupid things??"

Thank you! I will head out this evening and use the coupon!

I see a lot of reference to just one Rexall coupon.

Don't forget the $5 off $25 spend coupon is stackable with the AirMiles coupon. You can use it multiple times before expiration (but of course only once per transaction). That $5 savings goes right to your pocket and is about equivalent to 50 AirMiles.

Perhaps some of you should put that $5 into a Disney envelope to up your Starbucks gift card allotment for breakfast in Orlando.

I'm up to $145 in use but I do not shop (at Rexall) any where near as frequently as many of you.

Here's the link for the current coupon.

Here is the link for the spend $25 get $5 off coupon:

Good until 10 October

Hmm, more on this...
Aside from Starbucks, what other gift cards do we have available for purchase in our stores that can be redeemed in Orlando?

I frequently adjust my earnings to 10% cash 90% Dreams (from 100% Dreams) so that I have about three sets of Cash Miles available for bonus redemptions.

You know those promos:
Get 25 bonus AirMiles when you redeem 95 Cash AirMiles for $10 off.
Or better but less frequent
Earn 40 bonus AirMiles when you redeem 95 Cash AirMiles for $10 off.

So that's essentially $14 worth of Cash AirMiles for a $20 gift card in the first scenario. An even better $11 in the second.

Both puts us more than on par with the USD for things we can purchase with gift cards.

Suggestions?

No, i haven't forgotten about that coupon but none of the 3 stores in our city will take it unless my total is OVER the stated amount on the coupon and my sales often are within pennies (huhm hard to do now!) I have it loaded onto my Kindle just in case i have a sale that is over by $5.00 but as of yet --- hasn't worked once for me!

As far as your other suggestion with adjusting the Cash vs Dream balance --- eeek I'm simply too lazy to add that extra level to my earning. We discussed it once and both agreed we are too old (or is it just lazy ) to figure that out!!

 

[DilEmma]

Aren't you spending over $30 or $40 anyway to get the bonus AirMiles? The coupon is $5 off a $25 purchase and stacks with the AirMiles bonus coupon.

I always forget the $5 coupon! Last week the cashier had one and she added it. I was all confused when my total was still well over and it turned out two of the toilet paper I picked up went in at full price. After 15 extra minutes at the till I ended up getting to keep my miles, use the $5 off coupons AND my grand total with taxes was $5 under what I need to spend for the miles. But that's only because she manually adjusted their mistakes.

I'll try the $5 coupon this weekend. I just saw the flyer at Saveland. I'm going to wait until Friday for the new promo to get my glasses. It's Spend $50 get 112 miles. Slightly better than what I was planning and I don't need enough to shop twice.

$50 will get me halfway to my airmiles goal for the week. It could be an easy 250AM this week if the Sobey's deals are decent.

Very rarely are my purchase totals much more than the stated dollar value --- in fact i always grab something that can work as a stocking stuffer in case i need to bump a sale up to the whatever amount that week's coupon is for, my calculator gets quite the workout. I write down the price of everything i chuck in the cart and then take time to arrange the sales "properly"

ALSO, none of the stores in my city will let me stack the coupons ... believe me, I've tried. I've managed to use it maybe once when i wasn't going to be able to make my sales come close to multiples.
