Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ottawamom]

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?

I bought 4x $50 Marks GC and the AM showed up on the receipt so your cashiers theory is a fail. You did nothing wrong, they didn't update their system somehow. I read it to be the three companies cards, you get 20AM for a $25 purchase and 40AM for a $50 card.

Got to say you were lucky the cashier added them. If they don't show on my receipt I usually get the wait the AM will come through from corporate in a few weeks .... Then I end up having to go back to the store to have them manually add them after I have waited 8 weeks.

That is one very tiny bottle of maple syrup for $5.99, 250 ml !

Hmmmm..... I may have to rethink this....
Thanks for the heads up.

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

Thanks....she made me feel that I was not entitled to the AM and that she was "gifting" them to me.

Thanks...I think the manager knew I was not leaving without my AM...I advised that it was in the flyer and in the past the AM were automatically added...I saw someone post on the FB AM group that the manager at her store told her they would be added later and if she did not see them in 120 days to contact AM.

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"

Yes, that's how mine listed as well. I assumed it was yesterday's purchase though as all my air miles from Rexall's purchase yesterday came through today. lol - guess I'll find out in a while.

The Manager was completely wrong! The picture of the cards does not matter. It's the fine print beneath, which is spelt out very clearly. If you purchased $25 gift cards you would have received 20 air miles. $50 gift cards gave 40 air miles. I'm glad you stood up for yourself and got the air miles!

I stopped at Safeway on the way home from work to see if there was anything left from the Blue Friday sale. I was pleasantly surprised. I was able to get most of the items I wanted...and got one "maybe" item for one that was not in stock. Spent 106 and got 430 miles. Not my best one to date for only 100 bucks...but I'll take it.

On a side note...I made the chicken nuggets for supper tonight. They were not the best I have bought. I will NOT be buying those ones again. Oh well, lesson learned.

I was able to pop into Sobeys just before dinner tonight. Spent $212 and got 600 AM...a nice change seeing how I’ve barely been getting any AM from Sobeys these days.

I feel like the sobeys deals have not been very good for a long time. This time was excellent!

today i stopped at rexall for a couple things. i “earned” one of the marvel things, but the cashier said that since the event is technically over she’s giving extras away. i left with like, 2 dozen. so i have tons of extras, and thought i would check if anyone is looking for a specific character. Here’s what i have:
6 hulk, 2 captain america, 2 falcon, 2 red skull, 2 iron man, 1 hawkeye, 1 groot, 1 vision, 1 thor, 1 starlord, 1 was machine, 1 loki. phew!

the only one i haven’t gotten is rocket (the little raccoon) and so if you have an extra of him, i’d be happy to trade

I have the rocket. I would take the 2 red skulls, the 2 falcons and the 1 loki.
I too got a whole bag yesterday at Sobeys and only managed to get 2 new ones. There were over 2 dozen in the bag.
I have tons of extras of the rest of them if anybody needs them.

I went to Rexall today to get the last few Airmiles through Load N' Go I needed for something I've had my eye on for my sports room - The Magic Johnson autographed basketball for 2400 Miles. However, when I logged in today, I noticed 2 new items: Josh Donaldson autographed baseball (2772 Miles) and a Bobby Orr autographed puck (1844 Miles). Decisions, decisions, decisions....

O/T I have always used my PC financial card to get points, how do I go about transferring them to a PC points account now that they have split.

I guess Nov 1 was the changeover date. I sure hope I have not lost my points. I am pretty sure I got my weekly email to download offers.

 

[bababear_50]

So I tried to pick up a few things at my Sobeys-advertised airmiles --no dice--not available,,,
I just don't understand why airmiles and Sobeys can't get together on this.

No prime chicken tenders.
No prime stuffed chicken.
No 25 tea bag package of twinings tea.
No frozen beef pot pies.
No Natural selection shredded meats.

I am fed up and will let my sons do the shopping at No Frills tomorrow.

Hmmm......... good decisions to have to make
I'd go with the Bobby Orr autographed puck myself.

I need: 2xRocket, 1xUltron, 1xBlack Widow, 1xIronman

I have extras of: Loki, Hulk, Spider-Man, Starlord, Groot, War Machine, Red Skull, Captain America

Anyone have extra of the ones I need or need the extras I have?

If you mean the PC Financial Mastercard, you just need to call PC Financial and once they verify your information they will transfer you to PC Plus and they can link your accounts. It takes about 6 business days to link.

Did you try the raincheck trick? In the past they have been good about handing those out.

Hi Hon
Back pain frustration took over and I just left. I think I am going to make a trip to Foodland and just try and pick up my targeted "my offers". and be happy with that OR
If I'm feeling up to it I just might go back and ask for some rainchecks.

I understood that the PCMC needed nothing to be done-even after the switch-since they are already linked to PC Plus.
