Oooo...I added the laundry soap to my list!

Hi Hon
Just keep in mind that the sale on laundry soap ends today--tomorrow the price goes up to 3.99 for the Purex Laundry soap.

I saw that, and so I didn't go to Rexall on the weekend. Of course, do you think that I can find that now???

You can't find your loadandgo offers?? In case that's what you mean, here's the link
Rexall LoadandGo offers

I'll do my best to get up earlier than normal and post this week's coupon as well for those of you who forgo today's trip!

THANK YOU! I see that it is loaded - along with the other things I loaded, too. Now I can head that way tomorrow to get my list, and add another to the Mega Miles done category. Picked up a small crockpot at crock-pot.ca for my DIL's birthday.

Curious....I only see Rexall offers for Load and Go...do any other stores participate?

Thanks! That is super helpful! *removes from list*

Lots to learn with AM! Last couple of years I was more focused on Shoppers Optimum.

Question: can I get a $50 Sobeys GC at Shell (35AM) and use it to buy a $50 Keg GC at Sobeys (70AM)?

It depends on the cashier. I was told "no" once by a mature lady at one Sobey's, but was able to buy LCBO gift card with a young cashier using my Foodland GC at another Sobey's a few times.

Finally done the Mega AM Hunt! Filled gas at Shell. Went to Foodland and Rexall. Also got both wines from LCBO. What a weekend!

Have fun AM hunting!

Who do you contact when the AM awarded do not match the coupon? I shopped at Staples on Friday and bought a paper shredder for $100. I handed the cashier my Mega Miles Staples coupon that would award 5X AM on a $45 purchase and 10X AM on a $75 purchase. The cashier scanned the coupon and the coupon code shows on my receipt. Today my AM posted from Staples and I received 2 AM for my purchase (understand that 1AM for each $40) but I only received 5 bonus AM....it should be 20 AM. Who do I contact AM or do I have to go back to Staples?

The fine print on the Staples coupon says the miles will be posted to your account within 90 days of the end of the promotion. Perhaps the 5 bonus were some other offer, maybe tied to the specific item you bought? I think you're ok if the coupon is showing on the receipt.

Currently the only store that's part of the LoadandGo is Rexall.

In our Sobeys & Foodbasics there are signs that say you can't buy any gift cards with a gift card. Rational behind that is one of our local foodbanks gives out the gift cards to cover fresh food and they'd rather not they be used for, oh let's say, LCBO cards. You can try -- probably have better luck with a young kid who's just making minimum wage

I'm seeing some people counting the two wines as two qualifying purchases. Are we sure this is correct. The promo says ...

• 1. Use your offers when you shop at Partners until May 31, 2017.
• 2. Use offers at 5 different Partners to get an additional 1,250 AIR MILES Bonus Miles*!
• 3. Plus, get Bonus Miles with each offer you use!

My understanding is you have to shop at 5 different partners and not just use 5 different coupons. Anyone have any insight into this? I'd hate for someone to miss out on the deal because of this.

I did better today than I expected, which was good. But now I rather regret switching to cash miles last night. Oh well, I'm stocked up for future cash miles promos.

Today's haul:
- $50 Foodland GC at Shell: 35 AM
- $120 spent at Foodland: 60 AM (w/MM offer)
- at Foodland, buy 10 boxes of Fibre 1 bars (for work): 150 bonus AM
- $50 Keg GC at Sobeys: 70 AM

Total haul: 315 AM
Pretty good for my first day
Switching back to Dream Miles ASAP!

Thanks Jacqueline...I guess I should have read the fine print...the extra 5 bonus AM just gets me closer to Disneyland...

You are right! I missed that! Oh well! I need to continue next week! What a pain!!

Finished the Mega Miles shopping with a trip to Safeway today!! Spent $250and got 374 airmiles.

 

[rella's fan]

Wondering if I missed a step? I used the coupon out of the booklet at Sobeys, my total came to $20.47 and I told the cashier to use the coupon/airmiles so I then paid the $10.47 owing. But I'm not seeing the bonus miles on my receipt - will they show up later? (I'm not as concerned about the bonus miles as i am about having it count towards my 5 coupon use)?

I have load and go from Foodland as well. It came in a email, not from the airmiles web site, but they are load and go. That was the reason for my question a few pages back.

I only have Rexall on Load and Go. Foodland and Sobey's offers are on My Offer.

Correct, there are 2 separate ways to get offers loaded onto your card and they are called 2 different things (because is anything ever simply with AM??) Rexall comes directly from the Airmiles site and is called "Load and Go". Foodland/Sobeys maintains their own programme that is called "My Offers" which will load offers to your card but it is run separately from the Airmiles -- even has a separate number to call if you run into trouble with those -- the store can't help you and neither can Airmiles until it gets to the stupid 120 day mark.

Sorry if I didn't answer with enough detail -- hope this helps
