Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[hdrolfe]

I got my Little Book of Bonuses in the mail today. it says if I shop at 3 or more Partners using offers in the booklet I will get 50 bonus AM. But all my coupons are for Sobeys/Foodland, and 3 are online shops. Indigo, Microsoft & UnderArmour. It's a little weird and I suspect I won't be getting those 50AM. Oh well! There are some deals I can use. Though I don't know that I would ever buy 890 ml of Helmann's Mayo... that is one big container!

Ok gang .... that is a most awesome post @DilEmma you summed up the intricacies of stacking offers to the utmost advantage. Only thing i would add is take no children or spouses along, don't go tired or hungry -- you need to be able to fully concentrate, ooh and brag later how well you did on your own

ROTFLMAO
it's true! A second person ruins it all, not just kids unfortunately. (I have to be fair to my coworker who is a male, he blows us all out of the water.)
I think the biggest benefit is a cashier who is a fellow Air Miles collector.

Same here. I got the same offer.

LOL, I just bought a 1.8 Liter jar. For us 890 ml is the baby jar.

Edit to add:
Ugh, I must be on a Rexall high and did not see the Sobeys part. Also, I did not see Donald My Hero's answer. This info is still useful so I'll keep the post:

You don't need to register for any of these, but you should take advantage of the stacking ability while it lasts.

There is the email coupon offer that damo posted (thanks again damo) http://images.rexall.ca/newsletter/2017/May8/MAY8-COUPON-4060-ONMB.pdf for spend $40 get 60 Air Miles
There is the receipt coupon for spend $25 get 50 Air Miles (no screen shot) that you can get when you shop on the weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) and DO NOT meet the flyer bonus. Karate is next door so I head in and buy a box of tissue on the weekend. The coupon is printed on the bottom of the receipt.
There is the survey coupon offer http://couponscanada.smartcanucks.ca/get/rexall5-coupon-canada for Spend $25 get $5 off.
There is the Load & Go offer that will be exclusive to your Air Miles account. You have to load it here https://loadandgo.airmiles.ca/#/guest/login
And now there is the Mega Miles get 15 when you spend $25 (in the booklet or online https://www.airmilesmegamiles.ca/en/region).

I stacked all of the above at a shop today and got 232 Air Miles for $41.93 spend before taxes plus $5 off which almost covered the taxes.

That's over $23 worth of Air Miles plus $5 off. To be clear, I'm not buying things I would not have otherwise. And all the items were well priced sale items.

I've said it before, I love Rexall with Air Miles. Their regular prices are awful except for staple grocery items (which is my staple Rexall item).

Once you do all the above once, it will all click for you. Don't over think it. Just print all the above coupons and load your Load & Go offer. Next time maybe stop by for a box of $.69 cent tissue on the weekend to get another 50 Air Miles on next week's shop.

WOw! tHIS IS ONE AMAZING POST. I had no idea.

It looks big in the picture they put on the coupon!

Hi Hon
I got my booklet in the mail today too. I don't shop online so I won't be able to get the 50 bonus airmiles,, but like you I will be able to use a few of the Sobeys/Foodland coupons.
I must admit I was hoping for a few Metro coupons but alas nothing.

So I went to Rexall today. Amazingly, they had Lindt choc bars on sale for $2.49 plus an extra $2 off (expires in June)! We have lots of yummy chocolates now yay

Anyway, we spent $50 (all stuff on good sales I would have been happy to buy regardless) and used the following coupons:
- Load & Go: spend $50, get 100AM
- Printed coupon posted here (thanks!!): spend $40, get 60AM
- survey coupon posted here (Thx x 2!): spend $25, get $5 off (and this didn't subtract from my $50 spend plus was after taxes!)
- MM coupon: spend $25, get 15 AM

Total AM: 177 + $5 off!

The only miss was I didn't get the receipt coupon for spend $25, get 50AM that @DilEmma brought up. Now I'll know for next time

The cashier totally didn't think we could stack everything and when I told her to prioritize the MM coupon she was very confused. I explained that I was working on the big MM bonus but I think she still thought I was crazy.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Got my booklet as well.

My coupons are:

Spend $100 at Sobeys, get 30 miles (plus, the use-4, get 25 miles individual offers)
Spend $50 at Lawtons, get 50 miles,
Spend $250 at Kent on Garden/patio, get 50 miles
Buy 20L or more at Irving.

No problem using those (except Kent). Here's what I want to know...since my MM Lawtons offer is accumulative (spend $95, get 95), can I stack my Bundle offer for Lawtons so that the $50 goes towards my MM total?

The Ultimate dining card is a good one for me as I enjoy going to Swiss Chalet once in awhile.
And it is Mothers Day soon--have to print this flyer out and tape it to my sons computer screens.

That Ultimate card looks like a good deal. I wish i had more money to spend this week! But we are going to Swiss Chalet for Mother's Day (so I don't have to cook), so I'll get one at least. I would like to get another one for my mom since her birthday is today.

Home with a sick kiddo today, trying not to shop online since I'm bored But I guess I could and use the last MegaMiles coupon I need to use...

This is great news! We love to eat out occasionally and even if we actually bought the gift cards ourselves it still feels like a bonus! HOWEVER in this house the gift card would look like this
I HATE poultry

We do go to Kelsey's sometimes too and my kiddo likes the ribs at Swiss Chalet I just like it's basically the same price as fast food for the two of us but I get to sit and be waited on

**** Heads up on those Gift Cards, do NOT get sucked into the possibility of double-dipping with the Sears gift cards like i did when they were a bonus item at Rexall the week before Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Sears has switched their on-line ordering to a server out of the states and now it is awful to use AND they no longer accept gift cards as payment. I had planned on ordering a bunch of stuff on-line for gifts so i could snag extra Airmiles ... yeah, bad planning!

Sobeys Atlantic flyer is horrible. That is all I can say on that.

Thank you for mentioning this, I am strongly considering the Sears gc, I'm ok with instore so may still get it but this is good to know. I guess Sears is joining the no gc list of online purchasing. Lowes, Staples, Marks don't allow gcs either.

Make my day! Thank you for posting. I was concerned that Rexall was shortening their weekday coupon offers. I'm in for this one!

Other than the gc offer, I think I counted 6 airmiles offers in the flyer??? Oh, and a toaster deal.
