I did yesterday! In fact I added an Ultimate Dining Card ($25 get 35AM) to my order and paid for it all with the Sobey GC.

Ordered my 4th 3-day adult ticket on Thursday! It almost makes me cry to see my AM balance down at 150ish. But, I went to Foodland yesterday and earned almost 300 miles, so my balance will be up before I know it! lol
I need one more adult ticket for our January trip, and then if I'm in the mood to be nice, I'll work towards one for my niece too.

I just bought my first of three 5-day passes...3550 AM gone, but still have 1400 with more bonus AM to come still. I always get antsy using my AM as I'm always afraid I'm going to purchase the wrong item or flight LOL There is NO buyer's remorse when it comes to AM!

1 adult 5 day pass 3550AM, 1 child 5 day pass 3325AM, 2 flights to Orlando from Toronto Sept 4200AM = 156AM left. But cant wait to use it all.

^^ Nice!

I'm hoping to pay for all of our WDW passes with AM (2 adults, 1 child 5-days), and either our flights or our US passes. We are traveling with 7 others so it might be just as easy to book our flights altogether and just use the AM for the US passes.

How long does it normally take for the AM from Sobeys to post to your account? I bought the gift card offer last week and nothing is showing in my account, but the amounts are recorded on my receipt?

Sometimes it can take 1-2 weeks

thanks

Is that the same for foodland? I'm used to seeing my AM's pretty much the next day so this waiting is driving me crazy.
I'm ordering my passes as soon as the Foodland AMs hit my account.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Not sure about Foodland, I don't have one of those near me.

I just checked my air miles account and the 2000 points have been posted. American Express looks to post quite quickly like Sobeys and Lawtons Drugs.

How long would you say it took? I'm going to be activating mine tomorrow AND paying off some of our Disney Trip to activate the AM.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I would say it only took a few days (max. a week) from the time I hit the $500 point. I was quite surprised how quickly they were awarded.

My foodland bonus points hit almost exactly 1 week after my purchase.

Foodland, Sobey's and Metro all post their AM using the same method. Your AM are earned Sunday - Saturday each week. These will post to your AM account Wed, Thu or Fri of the following week. Mine usually post after 10:00pm on Wed for Metro and sometime Thu for Sobey's, Foodland. So if you shopped on Saturday you would see your AM by Thursday (or 5 days later)

Welcome back "Oh wise one who started this crazy thread". As always the store with the best AM totals is Sobey's. If there's a good deal for the week someone usually posts as soon as the flyers are out. There's a deal out with AMEX for 2000AM if you're able to take advantage of it. If you're near a Foodland, there's chips and ice cream with decent AM until close of business Thursday.

Best value for use of AM continues to be tickets whether for Disney or Universal. Flights if you have way too many burning a hole in your pocket is another possibility. So many options, so little time.
