Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Misha72683]

Another bust week at Sobeys. If you go to Moxies, or have Netflix you can buy some GC and get points. They are low amount GC too, so not too bad. About 10% return. Also some place called Garage, never heard of it.
Good luck all.

Garage is a clothing store. I haven't shopped there since my early 20s though.

airmilesshops.ca has a great deal - get 150 airmiles when you shop at 3 or more online stores until Sept. 12. I very easily placed 3 orders just this past week! Happy Shopping!

Anyone want to offer a guess as to whether i need to shop from 3 different stores or if i just need to place 3 orders? There aren't many stores i use!

As I recall from the T&C, it was three different stores.

You're right, not many stores that I use either.

I used Old Navy for some of my kids back to school shopping this week when it was 5X on the airmiles shopping portal and paid with my Rexall 20% off Old Navy gift cards after applying a 30% off purchase code. I also shopped at amazon.ca with a crappy earning rate.

Though it's only a minimum $20 purchase at each of the three stores you choose, most have a minimum $50 purchase to qualify for free shipping. I was considering ebay as my last merchant for a $20 gift card for Esso or Petro Canada or some such thing. You do earn points at ebay for gift cards through the aeroplan shopping portal so I'm betting it will qualify for airmiles as well. The T&C stated that you will earn airmiles on gift cards only for merchants that regularly offer points on gift cards.

Hmmm... might be a good time to do some online shopping for Chrismas. We have a cruise right after Christmas. I'm sure I could find some summer clearance deals for the trip.

Rexall: $5 OFF your total purchase when you spend $25 or more with this coupon
http://www.rexall.ca/assets/downloads/RexallSurvey2016.pdf
expires September 5, 2016

I've been meaning to test this url out. It's the link to the $5 coupon that I get for doing the tellrexall.ca survey. I'm pretty certain that the barcode is the same for everyone and that it is not associated to an individual's airmiles number. I do a survey about once each month and then have used the same coupon up to four times successfully before expiration. I never tried a fifth time simply because I can't find enough deals to shop at Rexall more frequently.

Don't forget to stack it with something like a spend $30 get 50 AirMiles coupon.

A typical Rexall shop for me will be two 4L bags of milk ($4.27 each), two dozen eggs ($2.29 to $2.49 each), four loaves of bread ($1.99 to $2.29 each), a 450 gram brick of cheese ($4.99) and six boxes of whichever tissue is on for .69 cents. This generally just pushes me over the $30 threshold. Orange juice and yogurt tubs are oftern $1.99ish so it varies for me because I try to only shop the lowest prices. $1.99 a dozen or $2.99 for 18 eggs has been a frequent offer in my area so I've been struggling with Rexall a bit.

Edit: Oh, please report back if your coupon looks exactly the same and I'll post a new one each month.

I went to do some shopping but I am confused. There weren't many stores listed on the page that had the promo listed at the top. Only a handful and they all seemed to be for the 5X the points on tech promo. Is the 150 points if you shop at ANY of the airmiles shops? If so I will do Old Navy , Amazon and another. I just wanted to clarify first.

Thanks for the link
I am going to try it if I get a spend 30 get 50 airmiles next week.

My understanding of the T&C is there are two promos running and both can be used at the same time.

There is a 5x promo at select online merchants. A few days ago it was back to school shopping theme, including Gap and Old Navy. Now it is technology type stores.

In addition, there is the shop at ANY three online stores before September 12 and get 150 bonus miles. You have to spend a minimum of $20 before tax at each of your three stores. And most will not count a gift card purchase to qualify. Plenty of time to wait for some good deals though.

Staples has Gap/Old Navy/Banana Republic $50 gift cards for $40 (20% discount)... Hopefully those outside Ontario can use this deal. And perhaps combine with the AirMiles shop promotion.

Yesterday I prepaid my Netflix subscription for the year with the Netflix gift cards at Sobeys ($30 gift card 35 AirMiles). 105 AirMiles for a few minutes effort. And I used my previously purchased Sobeys gift card to buy the Netflix cards. I combined the purchase with about $40 in groceries and used three partly loaded Sobeys cards without any problem. The young cashier was also a floor manager (I learned later) so I'm quite surprised there was no push back.

Perfect. Thank you. That's what I was thinking too but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.
And thank you for the reminder to wait for some deals! I have a tendency to barrel ahead and then wish that I had waited when a better deal comes along!

Safeway has had Buy two 4l milk get 30 am for the last few flyers they've had out. My family goes through milk like crazy so I can easily get 60 am a week just from milk if they keep it up!

I saw that last week when I was out west. Unfortunately the family I was visiting aren't big milk drinkers. I would gladly have stocked them up with milk if they had been. It's a great deal

That is sweet!

Shopped at Sobey's this morning, getting last weeks deals. Chicken burgers for dinner tonight! Walked the aisles and picked up more AM than I thought I would. Was able to double up on a couple of offers (targeted coupons). Overall spent $52 got 176AM not terrific but given the drought we're in, not bad.

As an afterthought maybe if the rains come again to Ontario our AM drought will end. Could the two be correlated? Just a thought.

It's Raining It's raining!

Rona has 50 bonus AM when you spend $100 until Aug 14 (I'm in NS). We needed a lawn mower and have been putting it off but they price matched the one we wanted from Home Hardware plus we had a gift certificate we were able to use.

Couple of updates: I received an e-mail on June 2nd with a link to activate a special offer --Spend $2,600 on my Mastercard between June 1 - 30 and earn 1.5 times the Airmiles they were just posted to my account on FRIDAY :O that's UBER fast for a bonus offer to post! netted me an extra 95 AM SWEET
Sobeys :
2 Netflix coupons --70 AM
1 Lt of organic milk 3.29 --10 AM (i absolutely HATE milk so do whatever i can to get the calcium in )
2 pkg of pudding cups 1.29 ea --5 AM
5 containers of disinfecting wipes 1.69 ea --20 AM
2 boxes of rice thins 2.49 ea -- 5 AM
2 boxes water crackers 2.49 ea -- 20 AM (STILL on!) + 7 targetted (cause i've bought about 10 since this promotion started i LOVE them)

3 bread products 2.99 (on sale!) -- 25 AM
and a coupon for spend $100 get 30 AM

Spent 165.70 and got 221 AM . We bought a bunch of *regular* food there so we could get up to the 100.00 mark including what will be a treat for both eating AND cooking -- frozen 100% beef burgers. I can't have ANY spices so we usually get fresh beef and form the patties, beef is mega $$ lately so we spend between 5 - 7 for 2 (and need to buy fresh at least twice a week) THIS box of burgers has 8 and it was only $15.99.

In the 24 days since i redeemed for the 2nd pass i've managed to get 999 AM (huhm anyone else humming Grim Grinning Ghosts now??) Almost 1/2 to our rental car .

This makes those crackers FREE. If you work out the pricing of 27AM. Thats great. Worth stocking up and donating to local food bank. Wish I had these. Great job, Duck.

But there's always room for (more than) 1 more.
Great job on the AM's.
