Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Donald - my hero]

Mine is a spend $50 get 110AM. I was stretching it to spend that much this week. Took DS with me and he stocked up on Halloween candy (on sale of course). Went through the flyer and I think there is enough there to pull together another $50 spend. It will net me 260AM if I pull it off so it's worth a shot.

I got the same spend $50 get 110AM. I'll be checking out the flyer this weekend to put together a list. I'm curious what the email coupon will be.

Me too and i was actually planning on trying to make a go of the Head-to-toe event on Sunday so this is even better because I KNOW there will be a coupon next week! Time to scour the flyer and make a list (and double bonus, i actually GOT a flyer this week)

It seems the prices are higher and quantities needed to get the bonus are higher as well. I may run in for a couple of things, but not sure I will be stocking up on anything. Especially two cases of KD at 16.99 each? No thanks!

Definitely no thanks when Safeway was selling KD for $7.99 a case last month!

I think we've already done our shopping trip for the next few weeks... sadly we had to go to Walmart and earn zero AM - however, nearly everything I bought at Walmart was at least $0.50 cheaper than others... I need to save money more than earn AM right now, sooooooooo yeah...

That feeling you get when you finally have enough to buy your last WDW ticket! (But then, also, that feeling when you redeem and your AM balance is now only 100!!!)

 

[Spotthecat]

You all receive tons of flyers!!! At my house, we do not get any flyers for Metro, Foodland, Sobeys, or Rexall. Sometimes we used to get Rona, but the close one closed down. I'm really hating going through the online ads every week...

Also got the spend $50 get 110 AM for Rexall LNG. I will wait and see what the email coupon is to decide what I'm going to do. I do need about 200AM (at least) towards my April flights, so knowing I should be able to get that at Rexall next week makes me very happy.

Just wanted to add my two cents that I am loving the Soar into More-waited intentionally to pay-off the balance on my next Disney trip until November-so 800 miles easily earned

just finished getting some things from blue friday. i had lots of problems with miles not showing up, but ended up with 365 miles from a 110$ shop (included a couple things not on sale). pretty good!

 

[blue888]

Woohooo Blue Friday was awesome. Plus my store had a ton of airmiles deals that weren't advertised. $220 shop, 905 Airmiles!

My air miles from Rexall yesterday were added today. I received the 25 bonus air miles for using a Load & Go offer.

However I was suppose to get 25 bonus air miles for using a Load & Go offer on October 19th and never did. So I chatted Air Miles a few minutes ago and Lori added 25 air miles to my account.

We do get the paper ads but I actually prefer going through the online ads instead of the paper ones.

The Bonus 25AM from Rexall that posted for me this morning was the 25AM for using the L&G from October 18th (in my case) promotion. You may get lucky and have a bonus set of AM as a result as yours may just have been a little delayed. My bonus posted as "thanks for shopping at Rexall"

Rexall has GC for Indigo, Marks and Kobo on this week. Spend $25 on GC get 20AM, spend $50 on GC get 40AM.

I stopped at Rexall today to pick up some Kobo gift cards for Christmas gifts. I bought 6 of the $25 cards and no AM appeared on my receipt. The cashier called the manager and she said there are no AM earned on gift cards and when I showed her the flyer she was surprised to see the offer on gift cards....then she tried to tell me that it was only on the 3 cards shown - $50 Kobo, $50 indigo or $25 Marks. I advised that the ad did not specify the amount for each type of card so she ended up manually "gifting" me 120 AM. She made it out like I was trying to get AM on something I shouldn't...the way I read the ad was you got the AM on either the $25 or $50 Kobo, Indigo and Marks gift cards....was I wrong?

Just back from Safeway Blue Friday and wouldn't you know it - I forgot my list!

I ended up getting more than I had planned, which isn't a bad thing, since I had enough for two orders. In total I spent $242.98 (tax and deposits included), and got 717 air miles. My daughter spent $199.13 and got 609 air miles. That was the last purchase she needed to reach onyx. Now both daughters have onyx with me!

I think you're right - I read it the same way.

Right!???? They usually go on sale for $9.99 or buy 1 get one free at 16.99...I'm not that desperate for the airmiles they are offering to pay that price!

So I hit Rexall on the way home, I got the 40 airmiles for 50$ Chapters cards, but didn't get any for the Mark's 25$ cards so I was feeling kind of grumpy about having to do the call/chat tomorrow to get the missing miles. But on the way home I hit Shoppers to buy 6 x 50$ Canadian gift cards at 10% off. The cashier didn't know how to run it through, so she asks a higher up, and the higher up says enter this code, then put in 5%, that's 10$ off, etc. I'm like yay, somebody who knows what they're doing! Until I realise that 10% of 50$ isn't 10$, it should have only been 5$. So I got a 30$ savings, so it split the difference on my grumpiness of those lost 40 airmiles, lol.

OH, and at the Shoppers at Islington/Rutherford Rd in Vaughan, I found some Disney giftcards!!! Not being stupid, I took them to load with money TOMORROW when I can get me some 8000 bonus optimum points for them

I use an app called Flipp to go through the flyers... if you have a tablet or smartphone, it's so much easier than the online flyers!

Wait - Shoppers will give you points for Disney gift card purchase??

Just had a really good shop at Sobeys. My spend offer threshold is always $100 so I try to do that once or twice a month to get bonus AM. Was $4 short and found Bonne Maman jams for $4.49 + 25AM when you buy 1! Score! Tag said that’s valid til Nov 9.

I prefer Reebee as you can filter by items with AM bonuses!
