Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Sorry if this is the wrong spot ....
If I buy the AM Universal passes, can I upgrade them to 3- day at the park? We have enough AM for the whole family's passes, but we want to visit the parks for 3 days, not 2.

I have the exact same question. I need 3 adult and two kid 3-day tickets. I have enough AM for two 2-day tickets. So can we upgrade the two we buy from AM? How much would it be? Anything else we should know about AM tickets for USO? Will we have to go to a particular window to get our tickets at the park? TIA

Sobeys flyer was disappointing until the very end. I will be doing the Buy 3 get 75 airmiles for the frozen yoghurt and fruit popsicles. We will definitely use it so I plan to do the offfer 4 times and put it in the chest freezer. That will be good for 300 airmiles this week.

So here I was all excited that Safeway had Buy 4 ice cream or Popsicles for 50 bonus AM. Then I read this!!! Wth!!!
Start a different thread for you sobeys and recall collectors so you can brag there. The rest of us stuck with over priced safeway and no rexall will just stay here and pout.

What theres no big drinkers here. Buy a $100lcbo gc get 30 points. That could be dangerous for me and how to justify that with the wife. The Gatorade deal was tough to explain. How can I explain the $1000 in prepaid lcbo. gulp gulp.

You betcha you are. Your teaching them about savings and cutting costs. They are going there anyway, help mommy out.

I mean they shop there anyway and this is really just pre planning and budgeting right,,lol

That thought also crossed my mind when I saw the deal. I'd never use it but my 21yr old that's a whole other story.

Thanks a bunch gang! We are making the trek to Sobeys this weekend (not sure if hubby's fully aware of that fact yet though ) i just went through the flyer and figure it's an easy 150 for me this week (and that's without the LicBo card) That's so much better than the measly 10-15 i've been getting at Metro the last 2 months.

I printed off some coupons for a few restaurants and we'll score some Scene points with those (since the closest Sobeys is about 40 minutes you know we will HAVE to eat out) and then we can go to the movies later ... work the system. I took a brief look at Rexall and should be able to walkaway with a good haul there too. Only 500 short of the 2nd pass and my goal was the end of July!

Just read part of this thread to my DH and he said sure get me one of those! Add another 30AM onto my shop at Sobey's tomorrow.

Those of you who had your passes sent via regular mail, can anyone remember how long it took to get them? I got an email 17 days ago saying my first pass was shipped from Toronto. It doesn't take over 2-1/2 weeks for mail to come from Toronto. I just got home from vacation and their chat line is closed but I will be chatting to them tomorrow, but just curious as to others shipping times. The second pass was supposedly shipped July 6, just over a week ago, but usually my mail is delivered within 2-3 days from Toronto area, a week give or take a few days to/from BC, so unless they don't actually ship them the day they send out the emails, I can't understand what is taking so long.

I'd be following up with them ... mine was at my door within 48 hours of getting the email saying it had been shipped ... we live close to the Gateway Sorting Centre in Mississauga (yes i had to sign for it just was lucky enough to actually be here when the letter carrier showed up!) 17 days is long enough .. did you check the tracking number they provided in that e-mail? It should tell you exactly where it is from the moment it's sorted until you sign for it.

I just ordered an Universal pass. At the top of one of the check out pages, it read: Redemptions for Rewards merchandise, and certificates valued over 4,200 reward miles, are shipped via courier requiring signature, and will be delivered between 8:00 - 5:00 Monday to Friday. It also said that the shipping would take 3 weeks.

Do you remember how much the hot chocolate was? I'll be going tomorrow for popsicles (my son is very excited about that) and may get some hot chocolate too

$4.99 for the Hot Chocolate. Likely more than I would usually pay for Carnation (which I get a Costco) but way cheaper than getting a Hot Chocolate at Timmies. The Carrs crackers are a great deal at $2.49ea buy 2 get 20AM. Really plain tasting, but if you top them with goodies they become a great vehicle for serving the toppings.

Oh my what we having for dinner tonight.....mom.
Well you can look in the freezer but everything is kind of hidden by ice cream and popsicles....
12 boxes and picked up two cans of hot chocolate and two boxes of crackers.
I got the lifesaver popsicles as I really like the flavors.
total airmiles 360.
I thought the price was ok for the hot chocolate as it is Tim's.
happy shopping and collecting

Anyone know
Can I use a $100.00 LCBO gift card (bought at Sobeys) at the LCBO to buy 3 $25.00 Gift cards and a bottle of spirits.? Thinking of doing this to stock pile a few xmas stocking stuffers.

We don't have good AM offers like these in Nova Scotia. Sucks.

Received both today even though one was apparently mailed on June 28 and the other on July 6. Don't know what the hold up was but just glad they finally got here.

Ok so i think we LOVE Sobeys now! We spent at least 40 minutes wandering the aisles with calculator in hand and checking out products we've never seen before! Spent $104 and came out with 445 Airmiles -- the duck is back in the house That's the kind of trip we used to manage weekly at Metro when they first joined the programme. I hope they offer the gift card promotion again --- most definitely worth our while to make the trip! I'm just 140 short for the second pass and once i finish at Rexall (they sent me more targeted coupons) I'll be good to go
