Airmiles Armchair Chatter

You can do it Pigletto!I just had a thought, we should have something like a countdown ticker for AM to our goal. Might make the voyage there a little more fun.

I need another 3,000 airmiles to get another Park Ticket,,,my son when realizing how much the Park Tickets are is now eagerly on the airmiles watch with me. I'd like to do this by Christmas time.
Hoping for some good deals this week.

How long does it take for the tickets to come through to your email?

Kubo and the Two Strings. Mine just arrived by email a moment ago.

YES!! I've been known to use it up to 4 times in one trip it requires careful shopping, a calculator, pen and a ton of patience. I come within dollars (or pennies on a few occasions) I was in the store yesterday and heard the announcement "security scan section 5" a few minutes later an employee rounded the corner and said "OH CRAP, it's only you!!!" He went back to the counter and in a stage whisper "it's one of our regular Airmiles hunters" Guess i was taking too long in one section as i juggled my purchases for the biggest bang for my buck. I always have one or two extra things in my basket (or cart in some of the better stores!) in case there is a surprise reduction in an item -- i;ll just not buy it if i don't need to all of my stores are used ot me by now. We have 3 in our city and when i make a trip to Toronto there are at least 4 on my route from the greyhound station to the foot of the PATH. I always wait until there isn't a line to have my sales rung up because some other customers can get a bit twitched

Went to Rexall today. I don't usually, since, like Sobey's I don't have any close by. I didn't really need anything, (had already bought my bread at The Bread Box, and didn't need milk), so it was a bit of a challenge to get to $30. BUT, I bought insect repellent for our January Caribbean cruise (on sale), shampoo for myself and DH (buy 1 get one free AND 5 AM-got 2 of 2 kinds-on sale to boot), cottage cheese, cookies, Fibre 1 (all on sale), a comb to replace the one that DD "borrowed" and took to Finland, and topped up with gum to make the $30. Note: the cashier told me that I was this close, so bought the gum. 60 points= Used my AMEX, so that's another few points.

I clearly have too much time on my hands because I've been working on this for an HOUR! this is to see if it worked -- i'll come back and edit once i have it working (semi)flawlessly OK -- i'm gonna need someone to tell me if you can see all the parts of my signature now or not?? my name & Donald HAVE TO BE THERE --- that's who i am around here -- been my siggy since the original screen name when the boards were an infant. I found that i had to set my "weight" as a negative amount -- both goal and current if i wanted it to show how many i still need to earn -- otherwise it kept saying "goal completed" URGH .. I set it to public and show weight ....

 

[Debbie]

Yes, I can see it Love the "weight" LOL

 

[ottawamom]

Anyone jumping on this board with a bunch of us posting those tickers is going to think Canadians have a huge weight problem. Too funny! But it looks like it works. It will be our inside joke here on the Canadian AM Thread.

Jacqueline you are a truly creative digitally gifted person. Thanks for your work. Now you'll have to tell the rest of us how to do it.

Anyone later to the game on this. We changed the tickers to "Savings tickers" so a lot of the weight references won't make sense anymore

 

[Aladora]

If you are okay without it being a Disney ticker, this site has savings tickers you can use!

You'll notice that the ticker has changed and is MUCH more appropriate! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction @Aladora!

So I made a quick trip to Sobeys because Jacquline mentioned crackers......and I thought maybe they still have my Mc Vitties cookies--Yes they did.
I picked up a few airmile deals
I love those cracked pepper Carrs crackers and they even had some cheese ones.
Spent $113.00
Total airmiles 255.
I am quite happy with this shopping.

Now I can't see your 'weight' AM ticker.

 

[Donald - my hero]

Now I can't see your 'weight' AM ticker.

Can you see it now? i was "fixing" it STILL fixing it URGH

 

[Debbie]

Yes! I do! I made mine, too! Hopefully, I will be able to change it each week.

 

[bababear_50]

I made one at Ticket Factory,,thanks Aladora.

It's easy to change and update #'s. Just click on your ticker. It will take you to the website. Enter your PIN and update data. Save it and it magically appears on your ticker on DIS. I've played with it a couple of times now.

Very Nice Donald. Are you saving for 7 day passes? notice your ticker at 3920. IMHO the best value is the 5 day, then you can upgrade there cheaper. Unless you need to do |FP for those extra days. Just a thought and be able to collect more tickets quicker.
