Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[jtdl]

Foodland gift cards can also be used at Sobeys, right? I also wanted to reply that Foodland told me there was no limit to the number of Sears cards I could buy and yes Sears does take them for payment for glasses.

Inquiring minds (ie. mine) would like a confirmation of this too. It would be worth the drive to pick up a few cards.

I found this on their website: Gift Cards are available in amounts between $5 and $500, and can be used at any of our banners Foodland, Sobeys, Price Chopper and FreshCo across Canada.

Sobeys Ontario has the gift card offer for three days. Buy $150 Sobeys gift card and get 200 Air Miles. No need to drive to Foodland!

I'll be picking up another Sobey's gift card this weekend and doing the $50 shop at Rexall. At least 300 for me this weekend .

Metro has $50 Mark's Gift cards with 60 bonus Air Miles.

I've still got Father's Day shopping, sigh. There are other gift cards too. The usual - Roots, Sears, Keg, Golf a Town and Bass Pro.

Too bad Metro takes forever to post.

AWESOME! Ticket ordered and on it's way!!
I've put in a request with David's Rental for a studio at OKW and while it's showing as available for the time we want it, they don't have any points available from a member who has OKW as their home resort. SO i'm forced to wait till the 7 month mark. I'm hoping that once that time rolls around that a unit is still open, if not I *think* SSR should be??

You can always try the rent/trade board here, and save a couple of bucks as well.

I'm waiting on so many bonus air miles right now, ugh! Air Miles won't post them for you until the 120 days has past. I've been waiting on two 100 AM bonus offers for three month now!
Don't these businesses realize I have WDW passes to buy before the price/# of AM goes up?!

Starting Friday Foodland has 200 air miles with the purchase of a $150 Foodland gift card. I'll be picking up a couple of those

Thanks. I will pick up enough for grocery shopping for the month.

Another question. If you buy UNIVERSAL tickets with your airmiles, is there an expiration date on those? Hopefully heading to Universal next January)

I'll pick up $300 (or two weeks groceries worth) of gift cards and it will give me enough to get our car seat!

No. I just went and checked mine to be sure. They just say they expire 13 days from first use on the back.

Do you consider that a reliable way to rent? I don't have any experience with this!

We just got back from Rexall BTW ... needed more gauze for the hand wounds (they might never heal at this rate URGH) and it had bonus... had a coupon for extra 40, bought enough cards to get those however many. Spent $55 walked out with 89 Airmiles, not 1/2 bad!!

 

[mort1331]

Yes I do, I rent on these boards...lol...but even with Daves there is a trust issue. The only thing Daves assures you is to get your money back if someone backs out. There have been only 1 or 2 cases I have ever heard of, of something going south. There are a lot of good members, including myself LOL, that rent out and have good standing.
Plus you can sometime get them for 1-4$ less than Daves depending on hotel.
Ask all the questions you need.

Thanks. So the same as Disney.

Am I allowed to ask??? Do you have any for rent now? If I'm not allowed I will delete this so answer fast....lol.

We decided to go out for dinner tonight and before going to Boston Pizza, ran in to Foodland and grabbed a $50 gift card. 5 minute detour and it gave us 60 bonus miles. I think as long as we stay on top of deals and plan smart, then collecting miles should be easy-peasy.

 

[Misha72683]

Oh and interesting, when I bought the gift card, it was the only thing I bought and the girl asked if I wanted to pay with my airmiles cash (I didn't).

 

[mort1331]

You are allowed to ask, but over on the rent/trade board. Not here. but I think your ok.

That was my issue with that offer as well. I'm still waiting to receive my 100AM from a Bonus offer Airmiles had going in March.(Purchase at 3 of these sponsors before the end of March get 100AM. I could be waiting 120 days for that one)

Did you receive your 100 AM yet? I am waiting on this bonus as well. I'm also waiting on a 100 AM from April; make 10 purchases using your BMO AM master card during the month.

I'm still waiting for the ones from March. The 120 days aren't until July 15 or something like that so I could have a while to wait yet before I can enquire. BMO is usually pretty good about posting, not necessarily quick but they will post. I'm also waiting for last weeks Sobey's still (which is odd because mine usually post on Wed. night). Waiting is the hardest part of this game we're all playing.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Yes! I am also waiting on last week's Sobeys! I have 261 from last week, plus 95 from Lawton's Drugs!

 

[DilEmma]

Good to know. I'm still waiting on last weeks Sobeys and the March 100 Airmiles three sponsor offer.
