Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Oh this is annoying, since the tags said til Aug 10! Oh well. Happy to learn it online here and not when in the store wondering where my AM are!

My Mega Miles have posted for the airmilesshops.ca. I think I have all of them now.

Yup, but I'm still in bed not sure if the kindle can share a link or not, I'll try!
Spend $40.00 get 60 AM valid July 31st - August 3rd


Apparently it can!

 

[ottawamom]

Thanks a million Donald. I'm taking my MIL and her sister AM hunting this morning. Going to show them how it's done!

So I ran to Rexall to pick up some " extra " garbage bags and other items quickly in between packing up last minute things and washing walls. I had my list so I could be quick...but I have to say...I'm glad that I won't be able to visit that store again. WOW...they had no flyers, nothing was marked what as on sale. I picked up a few things that I was needing...spent 50.00...and I know I picked up items that has AM deals from the flyer..but I only received 102 miles. I didn't have time to ask management...and honestly...the store was horrible and I would probably never step foot into it again. The daughter is moving anyways, so I won't need to feel guilty that I would be scoring some good AM. But I think I had a good score of Am this weekend and I will be eagerly waiting for those AM to post.

Make sure you report back with your success!

 

[ottawamom]

Reporting back, we each spent just over $40, MIL got 172AM, her sister got 180AM and I scored 192AM (mine) and 40AM (DH card). DH had a spend $10 get 20 AM and I used two L&G worth 20AM (Is that bonus of 25AM for using a L&G still on?). We three ladies used L&G, email coupon and coupon from receipt spend $30 get 50AM. MIL usual Rexall won't let her stack so I told her it was worth the drive to my usual one.

Still nothing for me on this .... waiting is hard even though i have nothing I'm currently saving towards.

**** oooh there's a sound bar currently on *sale* that i might NEED!

 

[marcyleecorgan]

Managed 151 AM today at Safeway. Had a 100 bonus AM coupon that expired today, good thing I had to do some shopping...

Total AM: 1473

 

[Donald - my hero]

After watching a movie while clutching the remote to constantly adjust the volume, I did some research and decided to pounce on the TV sound system! Gotta love my Airmiles when i can simply decide to get something I would never actually buy. I know it's not always the best use of miles to get merchandise but i will quietly giggle every time i turn the sound up now!

 

[Tinkershelly]

Just did a bit of searching for you and found this info i had dug up for someone else:

I found a post that says a 7 day base ticket with no hopping was $295.54 with tax included. To upgrade to an Annual Pass it will cost you $829.64 (current cost of AP) - the $295.54=$534.10 WOW ... that's a lot of $$$$$

I used the cost of the 7 day ticket because i'm *assuming* you redeemed for the max time.

Thank you for this information! I'm planning to do this very thing on my trip in September. I'm going for 11 nights, and normally I would purchase a 10-day parkhopper which currently costs $548.48 USD including taxes. With your info above I would pay nominally less than that ($534.10) to turn the AM ticket into an annual pass, which includes the Memory Maker and some AP discounts. And any other trips I would take until September 2018 would be bonus! Gotta love Disney math

 

[DizzyDis]

Ack!! Don't know if others have seen this yet, but looks like no more WDW or DL tickets are on the Air Miles sites, I am wondering if their supply of discounted tickets finally ran out I am still debating getting one more children's pass, so please post if you see them back and I will try to move quickly on it this time!

 

[Donald - my hero]

Haven't seen this posted, but a heads up that Amex looks like they're doing another Soar into More promo starting August 1. I still haven't received my 400 AM from the last promotion, so I just went to the previous website to check out any info that still might be there re when I should expect to get said AM's and was sent to this page:

https://soarintomore.americanexpress.ca/enrollment/enrollmentover

I haven't read it in detail, but it looks like you can earn up to 500 AM bu shopping ONLINE and logging into the AMEX app.

Does anyone know when the 400 AM are supposed to be posted by from the last promo?

I received mine on the first statement after I spent the $400. It was actually about two weeks into the program. I would say you should expect it on your statement, it shows there.

Just called Amex and they gave the usual "give it time" speech. It's been 2 billing cycles for me and the only thing I've received is the initial 100 AM for signing up to the promo.

I also have the platinum card and didn't get an email on the last promo so I wouldn't expect one for this one either. I did get a card via snail mail about it but someone had already posted here about it at that point. I bookmarked the web page with the sign in and offer details and have been checking it every few days for the last week or so. It has been showing the last offer until I checked this morning. Still nothing to sign up for but it now says coming soon.
https://soarintomore.americanexpress.ca/enrollment/comingsoon

As far as where is says eligible to basic card members.....the last one also said that and I got the bonus on June 10th. I purchased another $200 worth of gift cards at Shell on June 4 which was still eligible for the Shell 7X in store offer and used my Amex to pay for them.

The enrollment is open for this new offer
https://soarintomore.americanexpress.ca/enrollment?extlink=va-caicss-SIMV1
The details are much clearer on this page, I was scratching my head trying to figure out how i was going to shop on-line thru the APP! It looks like they are 2 separate parts of the offer? Any thoughts??

Gotta love Disney math

Yeah no kidding. Thankful my trip is far enough away that I can glean SO MUCH ADVICE from all these lovely people

Hi Hon
I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that they are just updating the system. Hugs to you! I'm waiting on miles to be posted to get a pass also.
Hugs Mel

Anyone want to guess whether it's just 4 purchases or 4 purchases from DIFFERENT stores? If I can do 4 purchases thru Amazon, that'll make things so much easier. I didn't see anything in the rules to say you couldn't do all at one. I may call AMEX just to make sure.

The way I read it, it is four individual purchases. Says nothing about being from different merchants. Only says it must be merchants on that list.

I'm going to make 4 individual purchases of Starbucks e-cards and will do it one today, one tomorrow etc. I might get my DD to use my Amex to order from Amazon. She has Prime and orders for all her friends on a regular basis.....as in several times a week.

So reading the rules for the Amex offer I see this.....

3. Each featured Amazon logo is a registered trademark of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. Neither Amazon.com, Inc. nor any of its affiliates is a sponsor of this promotion. This message has not been sent by or on behalf of Amazon. Purchases must be made directly at Amazon.ca to be eligible for this offer. Purchases made through other third party websites using any Amazon payment service are not Eligible Qualifying Purchases

Does this mean we can not order our Amazon purchase through Air Miles? Any thoughts?
