Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ottawamom]

Just got an airmiles survey asking about recent purchases at Sobey's. It then went into great detail asking about my energy drink preferences etc. Anyone else get this particular survey?

We used our tickets in March that we bought with AM. We upgraded from 5 to 7 days, but were not able to until we were physically at Guest Services @ WDW (I tried, but was unable).

Did you have to use your ticket and go into a park first, then upgrade?

Hi Hon
I haven't got it yet but maybe I don't qualify--so far I've racked up 800 Air Miles with this promotion.
Since I've never bought energy,vitamin drinks before I wouldn't really know how their product compares.
I really think the company (that makes powerade) is going to be looking for feed back on this promo.
I'll post if I get the survey.

Powerade is made by Coca Cola. I don't think we're going to see a promotion like this for quite a while. Then again maybe it's just a promo to get people hooked before the warm weather hits when consumption of these drinks goes up. Either way Coke can afford it. I doubt there are too many Airmiles crazy people like us in the province.

Oh my Coke can definitely afford it,,thanks for sharing I had no idea. Yep I'm a (CAP) crazy Airmiles person,, my sons have banned me from any more visits to Sobeys this week, BUT they forget I have a lunch hour and the drive home from work goes right by a Sobeys.

It sucks that you can't upgrade early. I can't afford to take the chance on one ticket not having the FPs that the rest of the family will have. (We're doing 10 days.) So unfortunAtely I won't be getting a Disney ticket with my AMs like I thought I would.

So just got back from my Powerade shopping and have 4056 AM direct just with this purchase. In addition to that I used my new Amex card $200 worth and new BMO $250 worth. Both of these cards were recent and the pushed both over the min purchase in the first 3 months to qualify for 2000AM each. So for a $450 purchase, AM coming to us soon should be 8056, plus the extra 1AM for every $10 spent.
Wow now |I really hope for great weather this weekend and the girls can have their koolaid(poweraid) sale and give all to the local hospital.
The plus is this clearly puts us into the AM Onyx class. Just wished they would then give us discounts on the park passes. But cant complain at all.
Good Luck to all.

ETA forgot also splitting the bill received 15cents off a litre of gas up to 75litre at shell.

WOW there isn't more I can say but WOW. I think you take the prize for the year. I'm just 1000AM away from making ONYX but you did it in one transaction.

It wasnt until last years Sobeys GC thing that I started to look at AM. I had collected for 10 before that and had maybe total 1500 points in that time. Then with the GC last year racked up 6000. And this year with this and signing up for CC that I will cancel after. I looked at them all and realized that every point is really 10cents, so looking at each deal is easier and tells me if its worth it or not.

As a Quebecer I am also very jealous of those offers! Our IGA (owned by Sobey's) never have offers that generous!!!

Thrifty Foods is owned by Sobey's but we never have the awesome deals. We don't even have Safeway here anymore!
