Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Are there any credit cards promos you can apply for to get some extra AM?

Both BMO World Elite Mastercard and American Express Platinum have a 2000AM Bonus for signing up and spending a certain amount in the first three months. Check out their websites. If you know someone with the AMEX they can get 500AM for referring you.

Thank you . We have enough cards and don't really want any more, but it might make sense in this case and then we could just cancel it when we met the terms. Something to think about

DOH. And I don't think that date could be read as any other if you switch the order around.
Did you call Air Miles about that?

Two online chats and a phone call so far...I think it will be resolved tomorrow (hopefully!). Maybe they'll give me some free miles for the hassle LOL.

For some unknown reason my Sobey's miles from last week did not post today. I've never had that happen before.

Same here.

Sobeys posted mine overnight.

Now "Shop the Block" is what I am waiting for.

Re: The LCBO GC.
The spend 100 on a LCBO GC and get 30 airmiles just seemed like a not so good deal to me.
Maybe spend 100 get 75 airmiles and I might have considered it,

I applied for the AMEX platinum card, hit the required amount. Then, I referred DH, we did the same for his card. So that was 4,000 for the two platinum cards and 500 for the referral. Sobeys also has their own MC and you got 400 miles each for those cards, which are no-fee cards.

This is how we pretty much got our WDW passes.

I did receive some of the AMs but did not get the 50 bonus for using 95 AM at purchase.

Have your 50AM shown up yet. Mine haven't, so I'm just wondering if anyone else got them (These are the use 95Cash AM towards your purchase get 50AM from the Jan 12 - 18 Metro Ontario flyer)

Are the STB miles due by Feb 28?

Are the STB miles due by Feb 28?

As per the T&Cs, I thought it was (edit to add: 'up to') 90 days after the end of the promo - that's 14 March I think.
But, in the STB FAQs, it says 120 days. That's 13 April - !?

Nope, they have not. I'm thinking I should call someone.

 

[ottawamom]

I haven't been able to find a # for Metro (like the one that exists for Sobey's). Airmiles won't do anything about them till 120 days. So I guess we're all playing the waiting game. Just post when they do come through so others know.

I just called the number on my receipt (877-763-7374) but they close at 4:30. I'll try again next week and see what they say.

Haven't got mine yet either…

Totally concur!

Looking on the actual receipt for a phone #. What a novel concept. I usually overthink things and forget to look for the simple solution right in front of me. Post back with your results if you don't mind.

I could have sworn I read on here that it was February...I'll have to search the forum to be sure.

Edit to add: https://www.shoptheblock.ca/en/faqs

Individual Bonus miles will be posted within 120 days; Shop The Block Cash miles in February 2017.
Yay!

I will for sure. I've had tons of help from you and others and maybe I can repay that a little. I'm away Monday so it probably will not be till mid week but I will post my results.
