Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ottawamom]

I completed the Mix and Match promotion on Friday. I'm happy to report that all three purchases have now posted to my account under the Airmiles shops heading (multiplier posted). I shopped at Staples, Old Navy and Lowes. The store posting for Staples was posted before the Airmiles shops posted. Still waiting for the store portion of the Lowes order but hopefully it will be there in a day or two.

I was dreading having to follow up with this but I'm happy to report it went very well. Maybe they have finally worked out the kinks in advance of Mega Miles.

Got an email from Shell for 25 AM for 2 coke zero products, up to 100 AM. Not sure if I want to try coke zero?

I love Coke Zero (and Diet Coke), but I hate regular Coke.

I like coke zero, better than coke or diet coke.

if anyone is still thinking about getting the airmiles shop bonus that ends next week and is a reader: check out chapters. until wednesday, they’re giving a bonus 500 points for every book ordered. not a bad way to double up on rewards!

So my Shell AM's offer has run out, the 10 AM text one for every 25 liters. How do I get it to apply to my secondary card?

 

[ottawamom]

You will need to text SHELL to 111222 using a different phone than the one you used to do it on your account. Then you'll need to respond the the text they will send to that phone etc. (In other words same procedure you followed to do the first card just need a new phone #)

Ouch, increase in WDW tickets. Can't imagine what that will do to AM WDW tickets.

just a heads up: you should activate it now even if you won’t get gas for a couple days. i waited until the day i absolutely needed gas to sign up in the hopes of stretching out the offer, but then it took a few days for the offer to activate for me.

I am trying the personal shopper yet again. This time, hopefully I won't be refused like every other time. It's for a 400$ lego set

Swipe # 8 done! Trip to Rexall to use the email coupon, my LnG threshold and a bunch of others.
Not a bad haul, pretax total $60.50 (personal threshold was 60!), used the customer appreciation coupon $5 off $62.58 charged to the AMEX and snagged 158 AM

Cashier asked me if I was too young for the senior's discount and i stopped dead ... Noooooo, I'm old enough but I don't want to take the 20% off everything at this point. She was perplexed until i pointed to the subtotal and told her what my threshold was, she giggled and said she had never heard anyone object to saving money. I agreed i that i should take advantage but had already taken almost 40 minutes to pick out what i did!

I'll be staying up till after midnight to plan out my next few swipes, hoping both Urban Fresh and Metro have some decent low-priced offers! I'll pick up 2 more bath puffies at Rexall as well, I want to get this done before i tackle Mega Miles!!!

There is a sneak peek at Metro on smartcanucks, Netflix and/or Sephora giftcard bonus AM - Spend $25, get 25 Bonus Air Miles or Spend $50, get 50 Bonus Air Miles. The flyer is a bit blurry so hard to read some of the other deals (and it's for Metro ON/GTA). I do see milk, buy 2 for 15 AM (Pur Filtre for $3.99 each) or buy 2 Christie crackers or cookies for 15 AM (2/$6).

OMG!! Thank you for this!! I will buy $25 Netflix cards several days to get more swipes in and build up the Netflix account. We went to Shell on Sunday to grab some of the Ultimate Dining cards and they only had $100 cards in stock ... uhm NOPE!

I have completed my 12th swipe of my 15. I have been walking to Shell to buy my lottery tickets as it is closer to me than walking to Rexall. I do my regular shopping at Sobeys so no problem getting miles there. Yesterday I went there and just bought 1 can of beans (on sale) and I earned 4 air miles. Boom another swipe done. Today I did the Rexall thing and got the 2 loofahs thingies for the 3 air miles. I just checked my Metro account and my sister has so nicely swiped for me and earned some bonus airmiles so that was my 12th.

Whaaaatttt how did I miss that I can get airmiles for lottery tickets?!?! How much do I need to spend for this to work?

 

[juniorbugman]

I just buy $10 and get 1 air mile. I have been doing this for a long time now. Just go in and say lottery only no gas. They know me now at my store.

I can't remember how much you have to spend in store to get an AM at Shell, but yes lottery tickets do count. I got some last summer when they had a few bonuses going on (ice cream plus 10 when you spend $5 I think? I'd add a $1 lottario to get to the $5 pre tax and voila!).

I finally got my return flights for my August Disney trip. Now I can't get in to Air Canada to pick seats. Yes I pay to do that. Kiddo gets flight sick and does better at the front of the plane, if I wait they put us way in the back and it's not fun. Used to be a link I could use but it keeps telling me I booked outside of Air Canada so I can't use it... but when I check on Air Canada's site it says "since you booked through someone else use this link to pick your seats" and around I go! So I called and it's a 47 to 69 minutes wait... wth? I have a call back I guess I'll wait for that but holy smokes that is bad service. I still have to book the flights down there, but I will be doing that in a few days, hopefully they don't go up too much more. And I got another $500 Disney card at Rexall today, too bad you don't get AM on those purchases. But I haven't seen them at Shell.

Guess I'm locked in to this trip now, with the ticket prices increasing today, and now the flight home booked, I guess I'm going for sure! And can't change the reservation again Oh, I also booked EMM for MK and HS while we are there, and have the Rhino thing at AK booked. I think this will be my most expensive trip ever, and the last one for a while!!
