Airmiles Armchair Chatter

I picked up 3 cartons of broth and 3 cans of soup along with 4 packages of turkey bacon. Debated getting more but in the end I only bought what we will eat. Spent $27 ....171 miles.

Although.... if I dip in to that soup for lunch tomorrow I might need more.
 
It would be weird if it was a flyer error anyway. The airmiles are given automatically by the system. Does that mean it was an error Ontariowide? It's very odd.
 

LOL-exactly what we had for lunch today! LOL-I see a lot of soup lunches in the near future...
About once a week it's just the two of us for dinner and it usually ends up being soup and salad or something equally as boring. I'm starting to think I had better have soup for lunch tomorrow to see if I need to stock up.
 
I know most of us are earning AM for Disney or Universal tickets / flights but I only today noticed they have some cute Kate Spade bags around the 3000AM mark. I had no idea!!
 
Currently traveling home to Ottawa from Niagara Falls. Stopping at a few Sobeys on the way. Soup success in Lincoln first, then this in Ajax?
What a complete scam. Like someone else said , it isn't just in the flyer , the system is automatically awarding the miles. Sounds like Ajax has decided they don't want to participate or give rainchecks , so they've come up with this lie instead.

wow anyone in ajax that can report this store to head office. |They might give you a credit for pointing this out. Poor customer service. These are not independent stores, so no way there is an error.
 
Didn't make much sense to me either. I looked but there were absolutely none of the St. Hubert brand soups or broth on the shelves, just empty space like it had been pulled. Does it cost the store to honour promotions like these? This was one of the smaller sized stores...

I am now waiting for Metro and Sobeys to post my AM, so I can order my last WDW ticket. Just wish all AM partners are like Rexall. And I am officially Onyx! Feel very accomplished! Lol!!

Edited:
I need a break from the intensive AM Hunt! Will start again after my trip in September!! What a year with AM fun!

Yes it 100% costs the store to run these promotions ---even when they end up costing the store more than they are making. HOWEVER, they do not get to chose if they will participate or not, they are part of a chain and it is one of the costs of doing business under that chain's name. Size of the store has zero impact on anything. Don't like it? Tough cookies -- they can not simply put up a sign saying the flyer is wrong when clearly it isn't. As others mentioned it is happening at other stores and has been since the moment the flyer became active. If there is an error in a flyer the chain will issue a retraction and provide the stores with OFFICIAL signs to use.
 
While all of you are enjoying your soup promotion soup for lunch, for me it's cereal, as I try to eat my way through the stockpile I have in the basement before it reaches its best before date. I like to think of it as my new diet program, cereal for breakfast, cereal for lunch and a sensible balanced dinner. :-)

I was at Sobeys this morning to see if there was any soup. Turns out the delivery is overnight on Monday. Got a raincheck for 6 more. The CS rep I spoke with said someone came early Saturday morning and just cleaned out the shipment which had just arrived. The cashier didn't know what to do so she let it go through. They had been planning on putting up a "limit" notice they just didn't get to it in time.

I get the feeling we may be seeing limits on the big promotions in the near future.
 
On my way to Rexall in a few minutes. I have my Load and Go spend $40 get 60, I have the Rexall offer of spend $40 get 60, I have the $5 off coupon posted on the first page (that expires shortly). Am I missing anything?
 
Ok--I went for a little drive.......I needed to get away.....:moped:
Life here has been crazy--I put my brothers condo on the market (for sale) Friday night ---sold it Sat morning $50.000.00 over asking price. God I am just glad I am not in the buyers market right now. I just don't know how our young ones are ever going to afford home ownership.
I went soup hunting.....................
Woodchester Sobeys --all out of St Hubert's soup
10 th Line Sobeys----all out of St Hubert's soup
Milton Sobeys---- all out of St Hubert's soup
I do have 24 cans worth of rainchecks and this time I got them to print "With" airmiles on the raincheck.
So we shall see when they get the cans of soup,,,if they honour the rainchecks.
I can see them closing the bigger airmiles promotions but I am hopeful they don't.
Hugs Mel
 
I was talking to my niece at dinner tonight, she works at Sobeys Barrhaven, and she said the soups were sold out in "like 10 minutes". It was kind of funny.
