That's awesome! I like those kinds of surprises!Just checked my AM account and had the shock of my life. I went from absolute AM poverty (just redeemed for flights) to having enough for another flight. I didn't think I was going to get a bonus for upgrading my CC but it looks like I did. Yay! Christmas came early
I do agree with this. Your on the money for sure. The movies/shows were never for my area so no biggie. My AM's never got to accumulate long enough TO expire so again, no biggie. There is nothing that it would offer me for my benefit that Gold doesn't already. I didn't try any harder to get AM for this offer, it just annoys me that there is an offer that looked possible but probably wasn't. 675 base miles are a lot. Tricky airmiles!! Lol.
Hi everyone!
Long time lurker, first time poster here.
I've been on the airmiles hunt for the last few months, and now that I FINALLY have enough for WDW tickets, they've disappeared!
I tried the online chat, but they weren't very helpful.
Have the tickets disappeared for anyone else? I'm wondering if they're out of stock, or if I'm one of the lucky ones that can't see the good stuff
One of the small perks is sometimes events for 1 am, but not something to count on.
WHAT THEY ARE GONE. This is the only (one of the only) reasons I have been collecting. OVer 13000 this year alone. Now this is also the reason I have purchased the tickets as soon as I have enough points. I do not wait till I have enough for 2 or 3. Just each one.Hi everyone!

And I guess I have some time to save up for Disney tickets since they appear to be gone. I really do miss the meal deals at Sobeys.
I *think* I have a good understanding of the following, but was hoping some experts could give me their thoughts!
First things first, you picked the BEST place to make your first posts, glad you joined in the huntHi!
I've been following along for quite some time, but believe this to be my first post
We purchased our 7-day passes through AM back in July - so received actual "ticket cards". Debating now whether we should upgrade one ticket to an AP upon our arrival.
These are the calculations I've been using:
$394.04 (gate value of the 7-day pass we currently have) - assuming this is what would be applied towards the AP
$31.96 (cost to upgrade to a 10-day pass)
$200.00 (parking for 10 days)
$149.00 (memory maker)
TOTAL: $775.00
AP: $797.69
Difference: $22.69
Based on AP discounts, we figured we'd save at least the $22.69 (one ex. we eat at Yak & Yeti at least twice and there's a 10% discount there)
So, does this seem to make sense? Am I going about this all wrong? lol Any advice is appreciated!
And one more question - just thought it would be best to keep them separate
Currently have enough AMs to purchase 4 adult & 4 child 7-day passes with the current promo. Any reason not to purchase this many? We go every year so this would get us through the next 2 years. Can they be upgraded to 10-day passes? I've been trying to wrap my head around bridgeable vs non-bridgeable.
Thanks!

If you have any ticket media that you did not buy directly thru Disney, you can take it and upgrade it at any guest services. They will give you the current gate price of the ticket you have and then you will pay the difference between that and the current gate price of what you want.
Not sure why you are using the cost of a 10 day pass for your math but I'll assume that's how many days you plan on being in the parks? Also, i guess you're staying off-site since you've included the cost of parking in your calculations? If you're staying on-site parking is free.
The current discounts with the AP make it a no-brainer because you will get a discount on merchandise and sit-down meals PLUS several resort counter service if those interest you as well. If you were already going to add the Memory Maker that makes perfect sense!
Go for it! Buy those tickets while you can, they are non-expiring (until you activate them that is!) Someone has been and reported back that they were able to upgrade these tickets to Annual Passes but I'm not sure about what dollar figure was attached to them. Have no idea what that would do to your calculations because it will be very obvious what you actually paid for these tickets.
Yes, the tickets you currently have will be credited at gate price. There's a thread about the discounted tickets and someone has reported back after going and could probably answer the actual nitty-gritty details about the dollar value. Hate to send you off searching but I don't have first-hand knowledge and wouldn't want to steer you wrong@Donald - my hero - Thanks for your reply - super appreciate it
I probably should have specified that we are planning on spending 10 days at the parks, are staying off-site and always purchase memory maker (I hate the stress of having to take pics with 3 kids under 4!!! haha) Since we received these AM tix prior to the promo, it's safe to assume they'd be credited current gate price?
It seemed pretty clear cut that we should upgrade one pass - just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something!
I'm very interested to know what dollar figure was attached to the promo AM ticket - wondering if just adding one day down the road would cost us $$$
yes. But I had issues with them and had to call to have a CM add them.
