Congrats CdnMickeyLover and Debbie!!

I do surveys that come directly from Airmiles -- unfortunately they have switched to an invite only basis. Their surveys are generally quite lengthy and depending on your point of view not necessarily good payout, but i tend to open it up and plug away while doing 15 other things -- one i just did claimed to be an hour -- prolly was-- i earned 26 AM. Other times i get screened out and only earn 1. I'm also part of "Asking Canadians" and the rewards are funneled to Hudson Bay which will eventually either become AM or get transferred to gift cards i will use thru the online shopping portal

Are you referring to the Air Miles Opinion Survey? I didn't realize they switched to invite-only. Can a member invite or it needs to be the company? Was this part of their new changes that started in the past week or so?

I've got to say I have a serious AM addiction. There is truly nothing I need in any of the flyers (Metro, Foodland or Sobeys). I saw Babears post from above and thought I could go for a cake (Sunday dinner) who doesn't need a few chocolate bars. With last weeks haul (Gift cards) I seriously don't need the AM either and yet I am considering the drive to Foodland for the cake and chocolate.

I need help, serious help!

*sigh* AB Safeway flyer for this coming week totally is lame. I barely see anything with AM on it, and the few things that are, are way too pricey! Guess they are holding back on all the deals right after Thanksgiving...

Yay for grandbabies! I swear I became a mom just so one day I can be a grandmother. (And of course my 9 year old insists she'll never have kids).

I'm SO close to my last WDW ticket!! Just need about 300 more. With the contest winnings and my own AM, I'll have paid for all 4 of our park tickets, car rental and a night in a hotel.

Now to start saving up for next summer's France trip! (Not sure how to best use miles for that, but I'll figure it out).

Looked at the newest flyer starting Friday, and the AM are practically nil.

This week out west sucks. I might do the buy 5 get 75 AM. We go through lots of cheese and cheese whiz. So maybe I will partake in that one. But sadly...that is probably all I'll get at Safeway this week.

On a brighter note...since they finally posted some missing miles I had been hunting down...I will finally be Onyx come Sunday when they update the miles collected. FINALLY!!!! I had been sitting at less than 100 AM for 4 WEEKS!!!! Thanks to all of you for the hunting tips that have gotten me to Onyx.

Just got my weekly e-mail for Rexall -- they're having the weekend threshold spend offers again (i think the email coupon offer is usually pretty decent the week after these offers so I'll wait)

• Spend $30.00 get 30 AM
• Spend $50.00 get 60 AM
• Spend $70.00 get 100 AM

Also for the entire week they are running the offer for loading and using a LoadnGo offer -- earn 25 AM. The details on how to sign up for and use these offers is in the first post Don't forget to sign up for the email alert for flushots, an easy 15 AM

Speaking of which. Has anyone received their 15AM for signing up for the Flu shot yet? Also did anyone else use the 285AM cash get 100AM from Rexall (Aug 25ish) and receive those yet. I know they said it could take up to 8 weeks but Rexall usually posts so quickly.

Finally on the Sobeys front. The use 4 Sobeys coupons (in one transaction) from the little Blue Book promotion. Anyone seen those yet? I have a growing list of small AM amounts I'm keeping an eye on and would love to clear up.

I'm stilling waiting for the metro use 95 get 25 as well as the offer from air miles shops, I think it was shop at two stores get 150.

I had the Metro ones show up dated Sept 25, 2017 (I believe they were back dated, as in I only saw the addition in October, I think I posted when I did).

Shop for 150 can be up to end of November based on the time frame in the details.

My flu shot miles haven't shown up yet either but i just figured that is because the email hasn't come yet?? I don't think i used the offer from Rexall in August (either didn't notice or just didn't use it ...) but there was one at the beginning of June that i used and it posted about 3 weeks later.

And for Sobeys? My bonus miles appeared on my receipt. I had to ask for even more because one coupon didn't work -- they took care of that at the cash. Side note about this offer --- did you get an actual blue booklet? I always have to find my offers online and print them off.

 

[ottawamom]

Yes I got the blue booklet. One of my coupons didn't work but I used 5 so I should be OK. The top of my receipt mentions Loyalty offer with $0 attached to it. It shows this 5 times so I hope it works. The offer period doesn't end until October 22 so I may have to wait until then to get the AM posted.

Tinkerone, I received my 25 AM from the 95AM Cash promotion at Metro just last week. They also took a while to come through.

Thanks for the heads up. I just checked and they did show up September 25. Must have been back dated or I think I would have noticed.
Again, thanks. I don't have to be waiting on that any more.

This week out west sucks. I might do the buy 5 get 75 AM. We go through lots of cheese and cheese whiz. So maybe I will partake in that one.

Tis, true, the Cheez Whiz is a better value as a stock-up pantry item with those AM than the Kraft Singles cheese. As you have to buy 5 of either item for the AM anyway...


well, my family could eat grilled cheese all weekend and go through one whole pack of Singles so Singles =$$$. whereas if I buy FIVE jars of Cheez Whiz at once (and look a little odd?) for the same amount of money, that's well, probably our Cheez Whiz supply for the next five YEARS. I dunno, depends on how often we don't have actual Kraft Dinner in the house... LOL it's mainly an addition to certain recipes in our household.

which brings me to an interesting thought - does Cheez Whiz actually expire? I've tossed plenty but that was because its open date was unknown to me. But I don't think I've ever really seen it ... go bad.

 

[dancin Disney style]

I got my SIM miles today. Aug, Sept and Oct all credited...1600 total. Plus, my 217 regular Amex miles.
It was a great day!!!!!

 

[bababear_50]

We were just at Rexall and saw that they are selling Disney gift cards. First time we have seen them there. You can load $25-$500 on them.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I was told that come April I'll have a new title - Grandma! So excited as it's my first grandchild. Any hints on airmile collecting and grandparenting would be much appreciated. We actually purchased diapers at Rexall (the mickey ones of course!). Best part is that they were on sale and we used this week's coupon so got 80 airmiles.

Oh my Gosh
I can see myself buying myself a "treat" each week.
Thanks for letting us know about the Disney gift cards.
Hugs Mel

I saw Disney Gift Cards at Sobeys. I checked and they said "good in parks" on them, among other things but that's what I was looking for... that I could use it to pay off a Disney hotel, tickets, meals, etc... problem I can see is it looks like they are CAD, so what would the exchange rate be one that?
