Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Grrr do NOT take kids (even adult ones) with you when you are airmiling..................
they messed up on the ice cream purchases and lost 100 airmiles.
That's it.... they stay home from now on.

100% agree ... we didn't take any kids .. well not exactly. We're babysitting our daughter's stuffed hippo while she's on a road trip (you know, the married 28yr old one :P ) and since we promised he would have some adventures as well, he came with us. We had some random guy ask to take a picture :rotfl2:

Like a 3D Flat Stanley. :) My DD has been home for a week, and she's culled her stuff. The one thing she asked me to NEVER throw out is Pippy the Hippo. Some things never change, right?

OH good grief, hubby just showed me the pictures HE took of Birt on his phone and he managed to catch me scanning my Airmiles card at the cash while Birt guarded all of our ice cream .. i can't NOT share that :P (love the self-scan BTW, it says the cost of each item AND when you scan something with AM it shows on the screen exactly how many. No need to wait & check the receipt!)

Too cute! Lol!!
BTW, those mini cones are my favourite too! Don't feel so guilty if I eat one a day! :mickeybar
 
Our Foodland used to only have the 3 basic kinds of Drumsticks. I was flabbergasted by the new flavours. :tongue: Bought a couple of the vanilla caramel minis, too. :thumbsup2
 
An AM question. When there is an 5x bonus offer, would you get base miles plus 5X miles, or just the 5X base? I think I've been calculating wrong, and I want to make sure.

I spent $1358 on WagJag back in March (week of camp for both my older kids - they have been to this camp before and loved it. It's even better at 46% off!). WagJag had a 5X base miles promotion and airmilesshop.ca had a 25X base miles promotion (that's why I bought when I did!). WagJag normally pays out at 1AM/$20 spent.

So, should I have received base miles + 5X base miles + 25X base miles, or just 5X + 25X?

I got 1943AM. I though I would get 2077, but that's with base + 5X + 25X. Now I'm wondering if I should have received 2010 (base rolled into the 5X). I'm not sure that even makes sense, but maybe someone else is better at this than I am?

Given the problems I've had with this (many, many emails with missing miles), I'm almost ready to just give up. I got the majority of the missing miles, it's not a lot, but I need to know, even if it's just for my peace of mind. :)

Some experts may be able to answer your question. However my experience is 5x base is not + 5x. If you spend $20, you will get 5 AM not 6 AM. So the statement would show +1 then +4 not +5.

Whenever I have used one of these extra bonus type promotions this is how they have appeared on my statements.
$1358/20 = 67 AM
5X+25X bonus = (67x30) = 2010 AM less the 67 you would have received if it had been a normal purchase (2010-67) = 1943 AM

The amounts would show up as two separate line items often weeks apart. Look and see if you have a posting for 67 AM from WagJag somewhere closer to the original purchase time.

I haven't used WagJag but this is how similar offers from Lowes and Metro have posted.

Okay, this makes sense. The 1943 was only added by the missing miles folks this week (almost 4 months after the initial purchase). I'll keep an eye out for the extra 67 directly from WagJag.

Thank you all!
 
Popped into Foodland after Church today, specifically for some Activia yogurt (it was on sale). Spent 36.74 and got 72 airmiles. :cool1: Got the St. Hubert soup, Mr. Noodles soup (myoffers), and Toaster Strudel, along with a free Ricotta (buy 2 get 1), cherries ($1.99/lb) and a couple of other things. 35% savings in total. A good 15 minute shop!

Is foodland offering a AM deal on St Hubert Soup or was that one of your myoffers?

They have the same offer as Sobeys...also fresh mac and cheese and something else I noticed in my quick trips at both. (Just heading out the door, or I'd look it up. ;) )
