Airmiles Armchair Chatter

I was going to wait until Thursday to take advantage of the spend $50 get 100 on beauty products. But I think I will take advantage of this one today. That was I'm not limited to cosmetics. I will be using the email coupon, MM and my L&G so a $40 spend will net me 130AM. Not bad for a Monday morning.

I'm hoping we will have Blue Friday this week in Ontario (and the rest of the country) and will easily make up the AM I miss by not shopping at Rexall on Thursday.

If anyone has success using the printed Rexall survey coupon, could you please post??? Only time it worked for me last week was paying full price for an over the counter drug.

Just noticed when I printed today's Rexall survey coupon it's a new date (and coupon code) May 7 2019. Hoping it's not a hassle this time

I'm planning on using all of my Rexall offers plus some checkout 51 as well! Making a special trip to my favourite store that is willing to scan every single coupon and makes sure they all work. I'll also be trying the survey coupon as well, but it does look like they're cracking down on how that works. I'll report back this afternoon.

Wonder if I can use it with the Megamiles coupon. Not sure I'm willing to risk it I also have a spend $25 get 50 AM again this week so that one will stack.

Yes so hard to tell what is going to work lately. In the past it would all stack.

Yes, it is a different coupon but it you look closely it's the exact same URL! Sooo you can use my link in the first post to generate the newest coupon always. Even if I haven't updated the validity date!

Ahhh, I'd be more confident with a new code. I don't have an old survey coupon saved so I couldn't compare but usually it changes. The code on my receipt from last week (on the only one that worked) was 2019022201, different from the current survey coupon code.

I looked at this and was about to jump at it, but it is in Vancouver. Bit of a drive from Toronto. But if anyone out west needs help getting these, let me know.

Continuing on the Disney ticket thought,I see the real winners here and those going at Christmas or Peak or those looking to upgrade assuming Disney gives the full value of the flex ticket.

For example, you can exchange a 7day airmiles flex ticket (6400 airmiles valued at $627.29) to a midseason 7day park hopper plus option ($621.94) at the gate... according to all the calls I made to Disney in February lol.
Or in DVC case, an annual pass is $648 which would cost $26 to upgrade.

I did notice that airmiles lists the ticket expiry date as December 2019 and Disney website they expire December 2020 so not sure if typo, February pricing or some type of special discounted ticket.

I just went on and looked at the flexible tickets on Disney website and I see an expiry of December 2019 on the page I was in.
"
What is a Flexible Date Ticket?
Flexible Date Tickets enable guests to first use their ticket any day on or before Dec. 31, 2019. and they expire 14 days from first use."

Agree, I've been working on this for four days now since @Donald - my hero posted about the new Disney tickets on Friday. They do expire December 2019, I've done multiple livechats to make sure it wasn't just a typo.

So what I'm understanding from Airmiles is that their flex tickets were purchased before the March 12 price increase and when they run out they will be offering the December 2020 ones at a higher price. The value of the Disney Florida flex tickets is at the pre March 12 price, so they are worth $489usd 5day flex and $521usd 7day flex if you exchange/upgrade them. This means the 2020 expiry ones, which cost $611usd 5day flex and $627usd 7day flex on Disney's website will likely be around 7800 airmiles 5 day flex and 8000 airmiles 7day flex. Rumour is that Disney may also be increasing their prices in October, but it's just rumour so who knows.

I am at Disney the end of this month so I'm hoping to get two airmiles tickets changed to ap vouchers for future use (I need a Blue Friday!!) and confirm the value of these tickets at guest services. As is, they are only really good for those going October to December 2019 so I imagine they might take awhile before we see new ones. Hopefully another Canadian promo will come up in the fall.

Airmiles is also doing a personal shopper request for me for 7day flex tickets expiring 2020, I'll post when I get it later this week.

Ya, I should have emphasized the "BC" part more, I would love to go too!

 

[Disney Addicted]

Agreed! If it was only in Toronto I'd have jumped on those already!

Ugh. The 8000 miles is a little rich for my blood. I mean, I could fly to Europe and back for less airmiles.

I feel the same, but the ticket is worth $627usd, I could definitely fly to Europe return for that almost any time of the year.

Once the flex tickets expire, can you not still use the value to upgrade to an annual pass or any other new ticket? Say you order one now but want to upgrade to an annual pass next March or do you actually have to use the ticket?

Yes you definitely can. The only issue is you can't book fastpasses with it once it expires (I just had this confirmed by the experts on the All About Tickets thread yesterday).

Reporting back from my Rexall trip. I used all my offers with no problems at all, Mega Miles, Email, loaded offers AND the survey coupon. My pretax total was $60.76 (love squeaking in as close as possible!) and snagged at total of 172 AM, total charged to the Mastercard was 66.07

I had the cashier scan the mega miles and then email coupon first, before any of my items were scanned and didn't show the survey coupon until after i had my Airmiles card scanned.

 

[bababear_50]

My Rexall shop today
email coupon spend $40 get 60
Load N Go spend $60 get 60
Mega Miles coupon spend $40 get 20
Base airmiles 3
Load N Go special offer 15
-----------------------
Total 158 airmiles
also used the survey coupon get $5.00 off --Thanks J.
all coupons stacked

I had to have a manager add my 13 Load N Go product offer though,,she was very kind and gracious and gave me 15 Airmiles.

I feel like I spend forever there but it is the first time buying a multivitamin for myself and wow there is a lot to choose from.
I ended up getting Rexall's Century Women's plus multivitamin.

Looking forward to the next round of flyers in a few days.

Hugs
Mel

Good to hear about the Rexall survey coupon, thank you for reporting! I'll try tomorrow, have to decide which store I want to deal with.
