Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ilovetotravel1977]

Yes, sorry about PC posts. I will stop posting on that program. We seem to have another collector community within our air miles crew. The posts are mounting within this thread.

Hi friends
Would anyone be interested in starting a PC Shoppers Optimum thread. I love yah all but to be honest I am getting confused with both programs being on one thread. Just a thought.
Here's a picture to get someone started.

Hugs
Mel

great idea, Mel. I don’t have the time to do as much work as The Duck to keep things organized, but if anyone else does I’d be happy to split my time between threads

I'm hanging my head with shame as well . Sorry, I've posted way to much about PC and promise to stop. Unfortunately I don't have the time or, for that matter, knowledge to head up a PC thread but I would be a follower if anyone does.

 

[Disney Addicted]

I love to follow a PC thread as well! My knowledge of the program is lacking beyond Loblaws. I'd love to increase my Shoppers use but anytime I try, I never get what I was expecting.

Anyone wants to start a thread? Pretty please?

 

[pigletto]

I anticipated it becoming an issue eventually. I think people usually make it clear which program they are posting about though. I’m not going to run the thread but if it’s a problem to post about it in here, I’ll move it to another thread. I don’t even think we need to have anyone run it .. we can just start a thread and share info .

I don't have a problem with the PC chatter being here but i don't use the programme much at all (too confusing for the Duck!) but i can make a suggestion if it might help anyone out .. simply make sure you tag me in any AM related questions to help me find them when I'm out! When I'm using my phone i tend to forget to go back to the thread after I've dealt with the notifications. Since it's hard(er) for me to respond when i'm using my phone and i don't have access to all my files, notes, saved emails & documents I can't always provide the info. Then I end up feeling like a dope if I forget to respond

I love the way this group has grown organically to become a way to everyone get the most out of their purchases to help make travel (Disney or anything!) plans happen sooner & and with less out of pocket expenses!!!!

**ETA, I also don't want to stop seeing my peeps posting about their lives, plans & scores!

See, I like that we can talk about the two programs at the same time. They are usually clear, and it gives a chance to compare that week's plusses and minuses of each.

Hi Hon
Please do not stop posting
I only thought to help,,if everyone is ok with both as it seems they are ,,,then lets just keep it all together.
No disrespect intended towards anyone.

I am not going to be able to post flyer links due to work meetings /holidays and other commitments for the next few months so I thought I'd post a direct link to:
Reebee
flyers are posted each Tuesday evening after 12 pm
https://www.reebee.com/flyers
Smart Canucks flyers
https://flyers.smartcanucks.ca/

I think a second thread like Mel and pigletto (and many others) suggested is a good idea. It doesn't have to contain all the upfront first post information this one does (thanks to Donald). It would make it easier for those wanting a quick answer about what's up this week (in either collection program) to be able to find the info they are after and yet for those who don't collect both they can just see their dedicated preference.

You know full well that most of us here will read both threads anyway. A separate thread will just keep the topic a little more organized. Like pigletto said it can just be started and then become a community that keeps it up to date. Just my two cents.

You know full well that most of us here will read both threads anyway.

Heck, I don't collect PC Points and will likely read both threads!

I made my Blue Friday List - 610 air miles for $173. Not the best return, but I'm going to buy a bunch of rice and cereal for the food bank.
(as usual, what my list says vs. what I end up buying will be totally different ).

 

[dancin Disney style]

Just IMO but I don't think in general there is that much to talk about with PC Optimum. I could very well be wrong but I don't feel like it comes up here even once a week. Yes, when it does there is a page or so of chatter. I'm good either way...one thread or two but I have a hard time keeping up with this one at times.

 

[Days In the Sun]

I just wanted to mention that I took a few minutes to tell Load N Go people (Airmiles) that I am fed up with their Rexall offers as they haven't changed in 8 months.
Hopefully they change things up a bit soon.

Mel

Awesome, my next to give feedback to is My Offers, did a quick look and haven't found an email for them and honestly won't get to it until April now (time crunch). Tired of the 45am wus $225, I've never spent that much in a grocery store.

 

[Days In the Sun]

WOW, how did they pick these numbers?? I have to do 15 transactions in what, 3 weeks? That might be a tad difficult for us, I'll have to map this out carefully, figure out how many i will do anyway and go from there. Huhm, Toronto on Friday & Saturday so i could prolly do Rexall both days cause we'll need snaaacks, stop at Urban Fresh for one of my targeted offers (hello ice cream), same with Metro maybe once.

Now 5? Yeah that would be easy-peasy. Curious if anyone else picked an actual reward and what the value of that is? Maybe that's what they'e basing it on??

Fast track, I received 50 airmiles if you do 5 shops, I didn't get an option to pick a goal.

 

[pigletto]

I got an airmiles offer in my email for 100 miles if I fill up at Shell (25L or more) four times from March 1st to 31st. It says it’s exclusive to my collector number. Make sure to check your emails.
I think we can do this one. We did fill up somewhere else just yesterday, but we can definitely fill up 3 times and probably add 25L mid week at the end of the month.

I don’t think I can do a Blue Friday shop. We got the keys to our new house yesterday and we are heading over to paint this morning. However, we are stopping at the Sobey’s plaza to get supplies from Canadian Tire . I’ll be right there .....

 

[osully]

Blue Friday Sobeys hunters in Ottawa... please report back when you can! All I want is bacon, English muffins, and Pam. Which I’m sure they always have tons of

 

[Donald - my hero]

Happy blue Friday hunting everyone! The potential for the Duck to join in has increased slightly ... hubby had 3 fires crop up yesterday and he wasn't able to come into the city with me today and I had to cancel our hotel reservation

Maybe i'll be able to guilt him into a late trip tonight

I’m sorry to hear hubby couldn’t join you. I do hope you can sneak a Blue Friday shop in to make up for it.
I posted above and then immediately made a list and plan to do the fastest Blue Friday shop of all time before we head to the new house.

 

[tinkerone]

I also got an email offer from Shell. Its shop in store 4 times with a $5 spend, get 50 AM's. That's very easy as I let (let, hahaha) my DH purchase his lottery ticket there. The problem is, we received that same offer last month and on the fourth spend their machine said the system was down, AM's will post later and they still haven't. That's going to be a fight to get, I can see that coming.
Oh well, new month, new offer, new fight.
