Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Donald - my hero]

Where is this offer? I don't see it on the AM's website. I haven't paid much attention to Sobeys as we don't have one but I sure could use a MM offer so that could help.

ETA--Never mind. I just realized that while I will be spending $300 it will be in $60 lumps so this probably won't help.

I think she's talking about the Mastercard Opt-in and that is to spend $250 at any participating partners, doesn't need to be all at once

Nope, but that sure came up fast!

If you are going I just saw on the news that you can only bring in clear bags and only a certain size so I would check that out before you go.

Yes did come fast. Wife and daughter heading down tonight. Was Xmas gift for oldest. Heard all about the bags, thanks. We will see what the wife will do. Told her its a concert you dont need much.

It's the opt in for BMO, spend $250 at listed retailors. I'll be using my BMO card for the purchase, which is cumulative I believe (in both cases actually, the spend $250 for the MM and the spend $100 at Sobeys for 50AM that I have).

I just got the BMO airmiles mastercard email today.
Offer is directed and you have to OPT in

It’s easy to get Bonus Miles when making everyday purchases.

Here’s how:

activate the offer

Before April 30, 2019, use your BMO AIR MILESMastercard to make $100 in purchases at your nearest Sobeys and get 50 Bonus Miles1


Edited to add I have NOT opted in to use the card for Mega Miles which is why I think I am getting this email...could be wrong though.

I just checked and I didn't get the email. Your theory holds so far as I did opt in during MM for the BMO offer.

 

[damo]

I got the email offer and I had opted in to the megamiles offer. My email offer is for Sobeys and Shell and get 50 ams.

 

[Days In the Sun]

I opted into BMO Megamiles offer and got the Sobeys/BMO offer ... but since I haven't received the airmiles yet and there was a glitch in the system, I'm not proof of anything lol.

 

[Donald - my hero]

No email for me, I did opt-in BUT i don't shop at Sobey's using my Mastercard (other than the most recent gift card hassle)
I didn't get the offer last time it was mentioned either. Another of AM little mysteries

 

[Silvermist999]

Also opted in to BMO mega miles offer, and got the Sobeys BMO MC email too. Too bad it’s effective April 1, I was hoping my Sobeys $150 GC purchase would count.

The Foodland I normally shop at for AM deals is opening a new location tomorrow. First 250 people get a $10GC. I may make it over to take advantage of that. Not many AM out there for me this week so I'll just pick up my needed groceries at FreshCo.

 

[Days In the Sun]

I'm doing Sobeys 50am wus $20 on General Mills promo, I purchase Larabars and Liberte greek yogurt anyway so will get if they have any in stock.
Also doing Metro Oasis Smoothies $2.99 buy 2 get 15 airmiles.
Rona is on my list for Megamiles, not sure if I'll get there tomorrow or it will be next week.
We'll be in Quebec for 3 days so may try Jean Coutu and IGA express and I'm sure at least two fillups at Shell, I'd try the Shell meal deal but it sounds like work so likely not.

Hoping for a few good Metro personal offers, our Sobeys offers were for full price items which usually is the case for us so passing.

Maybe they'll have some grand opening specials soon.

Anyone here heading to the Ariana concert tonight with their AM tickets?

DH and DD9 went on Monday! The seats were really good and DD lived it!!

Onyx Personal Shopper quote came in this morning. It's a little higher than what I expected but not sure on how they charge their premium. It's $263 in cash miles over the current 7 day flex ticket and would save us $140cad (difference between upgrading 2019 tickets vs 2020 tickets) so I'm passing for now but thought it would be good general info to post.

 

[Donald - my hero]

Not sure what this means but I always have lists waiting to be ordered!

So I'm trying to come up with a plan for Rexall. . I have a spend $60 get 60 miles coupon that expires today and I definitely need to buy a facial moisturizer and some makeup, so I'm hopeful the whole skincare/beauty offer works out. But then I might also go tomorrow to stock up on vitamins, I'll just need to remember to check if the store carries the vitamins I need.

Any tips for my first trip to Rexall? I'm going by myself, so I won't have to worry about chasing a toddler/husband. And I'll add things up on my phone as I go to make sure I'm hitting the targets. Any tips for once I get to the cashier?

OOHHH a Rexall newbie! Sure here's some tips to follow, good luck and report back!

• makesure you've loaded all of your offers to your card
• make list of everything you want
• when you pick something up mark it off and take note of the price on the shelf ticket (i take pictures even because i get as close as possible to my thresholds)
• grab something small to add to your order if you're close to the threshold and if you need to add it you can toss it in, or just leave it at the till (tell them that's what you're doing)
• if there's a line, let people go first so you're not frazzled
• tell the cashier you have coupons you want to use before they even start ringing stuff up
• double check your pretax total before having your Airmiles card scanned and then slowly hand over each coupon
• watch the screen like a hawk for the PLU to pop up for the mega miles coupon
• you should be able to also use the survey coupon for $5 off, i give it over after every thing else has been scanned, just before i pay
• before you leave the counter, check your receipt to make sure you have all the miles you've expected to get
