Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ottawamom]

The system still seems to be down. Might be that way all day until someone shows up to work tomorrow. I want to get my Airmiles shopping done for the week. DH is home this week and that is throwing a bit of a wrench into my usual routine.

****Big head's up to those who are new to shopping thru the Airmiles portal, if you are wanting to shop at Amazon there are a few tricky things to pay attention to & I've put those terms & conditions in the first post. Basically boils down to doing your "browsing" BEFORE you sign in so that you don't mistakenly have stuff in your cart before you sling-shot in thru AM. I usually open up a separate tab and search for what i want in my "dummy" account then i will open up the actual tab to shop with and plunk the correct items in my cart. They are a site that I've never had trouble getting the miles credited for (once i figured out this annoying glitch existed!)

Silly question but do you have to have things shipped or can you do pick up and still get the airmiles?

If you're talking about stores like Staples that offer either delivery or store-pick up, then YES you can get miles that way. If we are ordering anything of ANY consequence thru them we will request store pick up because Staples tends to ship in the same box the product comes in and then just leaves it at our door (like say a LARGE desk chair and chair mat) --- oh yeah, ever mentioned that we have a LITERAL crack-house in our complex that generates a ton of foot traffic

****Caveat here for those of us who are also trying to use the AMEX offer, this type of "delivery" doesn't qualify since the fine print states

Offer only valid on orders delivered in Canada. Offer not valid when purchasing online for in-store collection.

Here's this week's coupon for Rexall
Spend $30.00 get 50 AM Valid August 7th - 10th

I'm happy because my targeted one is also spend $30.00 get 50 AM and DOUBLY glad that i opened my LoadnGo offers on the Kindle on Friday and saved the page so i can actually SEE what i have to work with but i'm wondering if they will even work when that part of the system seems to be down??? Thoughts?

Do you need to print this coupon or can just show it on your phone? Not home and do not have access to a printer.

I already got my 10x AM for Gap purchase on Saturday. Odd that my Body Shop and 2nd Gap order 10x AM haven't posted yet as those also shipped today... Gosh I hope the AirMilesShops tracked those!!! And I'm still waiting for a Dyson 5x AM for a shop about 2 weeks ago

I always show it on my mobile device, no problem at all. Sometimes you'll need to zoom out so they can scan the code! Have at it, shop

Hi everybody, I used to be up on all the latest with Airmiles, but have been out of the loop for the last few months. Like many of you I was super annoyed when they stopped allowing the purchase of gift cards with CASH miles, so now i have quite a few sitting in my CASH account trying to figure out what to do with them (other than using them for gas or groceries). My question: is there a limit on using them on an inshore purchase with an e-vou

sorry, my internet is acting up, but is there a limit on the number of e-vouchers you can use at once? Can I use 6 Staples $50 e-vouchers for one $300 purchase at Staples?

Anyone having problems getting the contest to recognize that you've downloaded the app? It keeps telling me that it can't confirm it.

I don't use the app. I merely logged in on the computer, and it recognized that I'd done what needed to be done.

You can count me in as another who wasn't terribly happy about the gift card redemption, diligently completed the Shop the Block with the intention of getting $200.00 worth of GC <sigh>

I tried to dig up information about the # of vouchers you can use at once and had zero luck! I had to make *assumptions* but i don't see why you can't use multiple vouchers at once, they treat them like gift cards, so i *think* you would be ok. You could perhaps call a store to ask. I tried the on-line chat and that was the answer i got

Thanks for the response, I can't find anything about a limit either - maybe I better use them before they think of that too, lol. As ridiculous as it seems to be thinking of Christmas -my 15 year old really wants those Apple wireless ear buds and that would take a huge load off the Christmas budget

I went through airmiles shops and ordered kiddo an outfit from Under Armor (apparently that is the thing to wear at age 7... only on sale and only one top, one bottom cause wow! that cost more than my usual children's place and old navy!), also ordered a book from amazon, realized books don't count, no airmiles on them so then ordered some cruisetag things and pet treats. Hopefully everything counts!

I've been able to use multiple vouchers at Cineplex before. They are basically GC, so I can't see any reason you wouldn't be able to use more than one anywhere.

What I started doing was buying my gas at Shell. Use my AM to pay for the gas and then pay OOP for a GC of the same value. Not quite as handy as just using AM for $300 worth of Sobeys/FreshCo GC like I did before the change, but it still works.

well friends, I've been terribly disorganized lately--I've just realized that although I registered for the current AmEx Soar Into More promotion, I didn't keep a record of the stores we can use for the 4 purchases. Anyone have a screenshot or a list of the stores included?

You know i keep all of this stuff handy !

Here's the link to the page with all the deets about this offer for you to refer to ... keep it with your other stuff in case you need to chase the miles down later (With AMEX btw NOT Airmiles)
Soar into More

Who gets a cold in Aug,,,,,,,,,,
Back to Rexall last night to get some tylenol cold and made good use of the buy 2 vicks cough drops and get 5 airmiles,also picked up more kleenex.
The nice manager there fixed my bill from the previous day where I was short 30 airmiles
,,my own fault as I forgot to separate my order into two separate shops.
I did my first online shop last night. I hate paying for shipping fees. I bought at the
Body Shop and Staples,no shipping fees.
Now I just have to remember 75 days till I get 150 airmiles.
Off to nap....................
Happy airmiles hunting everyone.
Hugs Mel

Has anyone else tried the Load and Go website today? I just did and it isn't working for me. I don't know if I need to clear my cookies to get it to work now or not.

I still get the same thing as yesterday. Not a secure website.
