Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[cdnmickeylover]

Just a heads up for anyone interested in free Wonderland tickets. I just got an email from Airmiles for 2 free Wonderland tickets for May 11th - you arrive between 9am - 10am for a free preview but you get to spend the day. It appears that each collector account is allowed 2 tickets and there are only 400 available. I clicked on the link in the email but I believe it's under perks on the website.

Are there ever hoppers on the AM site? Or would I have to do a personal shopper request for those? I'm not ready yet, just trying to plan how many miles I might actually need when we do want to get them. I'm not totally sure I'd even want Hoppers, but we are going in August next time, so there will be afternoon pool breaks and it might be nice to go back to a different park in the evenings.

in the last few years anyways, there haven’t been hopper options. i’ve looked into using the personal shopper for tickets before and the prices they quoted were exceptionally high, but it never hurts to check in!

on another note: we went in august once and afternoon breaks were absolutely imperative! we swam so much our suits never actually fully dried, because we swam during the day and every evening. i love all the pool time, though. we went last december and it was too cold to swim most days. i missed it!

I need to get back to keto, it's the one way of eating that my stomach does not take issue with, and actually makes me feel good. But oh is it hard to cook for me and my kiddo who is a bit addicted to carbs.

When my husband wasn’t doing it with me yet I would just add carbs for his food. It’s so much easier to do it together but for example - Bunless burger for me, bun for him. Everything else the same. Toast for him at breakfast but just the bacon & eggs for me.

I found WDW in September to even be so unpleasantly hot. We are going in November this year and I’m so happy that’s going to be a bit milder!!

[Donald - my hero]

There are a few things that might make me brave my first Blue Friday -- not jinxing it yet though cause we don't want the tummy to hear and trigger a gastritis attack now do we

OOOOH just noticed that for the first time ever, Urban Fresh has the Blue Friday as well!!

OK, game on Urban Fresh , I accept your challenge and will tackle public transit with groceries in tow! Looking at the burger/hot dog buns 2/$5 buy 2 get 20 AM because i make a french toast casserole that i cut into small squares and freeze so i can toss them in my backpack for Toronto days and i don't care what bread product i use for that! This could be interesting after all (not sure about carting around 10 boxes of granola bars though)

Blue Friday in AB as well! I’ll be making my list tomorrow!

I just checked my Sobeys App, I don’t have any offers to load at all. I haven’t shopped there since buying the GC for MegaMiles. Anyone else have no offers? Was hoping to possibly stack something on Blue Friday.

No offer either. Went to Foodland on April 14 so not that long ago...

I don’t have any offers on my Sobeys app or Safeway app, and I usually have them & load them every week.

I am so excited about Blue Friday I can't even handle it lol. The deals are slightly different out West, but I have looked through the flyer quickly and already see that if I spend $103.31 before taxes I will get 340 AM + the bonus 100 AM for spending $100. And this is before my personal offers have loaded (which apparently is an issue for everyone), so I am sure I can squeeze out a few more miles as well.
I only need 182 AM until I can purchase 3 flights from Winnipeg to Orlando for Feb 2020. Airmiles doesn't seem to have the option for the non-stop flight from MCO back to Winnipeg, so I plan on splurging and paying for those myself through WestJet. I want to do it right away though, because it seems like the non stop flights only go up in price, and it's already starting.

I didn't have any offers in my Sobeys app earlier, but I do now - and I have a spend $100/50AM, so that should stack nicely!

You all enjoy, I will miss blue friday this time around. I will be hitting the mickey sand bunkers that day.
Have fun

My Sobey's offers were not there this morning either but have been loaded now. However, I'm getting fed up with my threshold spend. For a long time it was Spend $175 for whatever # of air miles. I never met that even once. Now it's Spend $200!!! I rarely spend past $100. Is there anyone to contact about the Sobey's offers?

 

[Disney Addicted]

Hey, Universal Studios Orlando's regular tickets have disappeared from Air Miles' web site. Hopefully that means they are bringing back 2-day and 3-day tickets. For the longest time it was only 1-day tickets available.

I also hope that means they may drop the B2G2 days free that you can only use until the end of this month (still showing on their web page) and bring out Universal's current B2G3 days free tickets.

Had a look at the Blue Friday offers, we'll see I guess. Not sure by the time I get to the store anything will still be there, or what I want any way. There are a couple things I'd like, cat food (since I need it any way), chips (kiddo would love me) and bacon. plus a few others I believe. But I don't think I should be spending that much this week. I'll see what happens Friday I guess.

 

[kerreyn]

Made my Blue Friday list - IF I don't deviate, I'm looking at spending $156.24 excl. tax & dep., and earning 730 air miles.
I'm getting 20 boxes of the granola bars for the food bank, and 5 boxes of the cereal, but I might just double up on the cereal as well.

 

[ottawamom]

I (shockingly) will bypassing on Blue Friday this time. I really don't need much and I can't ask my friend to make the trip to the store for 270AM. I was only going to get bacon and granola bars, the mug cakes and hamburger buns. I can pass on it this time (I can't believe I'm typing this).

Happy hunting to my peeps. Go bring home the bacon!
