Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Dang
.in a rush to pick up a few last minute things this morning and son calls me to discuss changing our seat selection (that I got up at 6 am to make) ,,,sometimes I hate cell phones........and then I realize I have NO airmiles card..........................
I removed it from my wallet because I figured I wouldn't need it in Cuba.............
The Rexall cashier told me I could bring the receipt in and get the airmiles credited next visit.
No more rush shopping trips for me,,,especially in this freezing cold weather!!

I have two $20 eVouchers for the Bay. If I have to return the items, do I get my refund in the form of a gift card?

From their website: (and this applies to e-cards as well, I've done it)

Q: How do I return an item I purchased with a Hudson’s Bay Gift Card?
A: Item’s returned within 30 days of purchase that are unused with the original receipt will have the value placed back on a gift card. If you used an additional method of payment to pay the remainder value of an item, the portion applied from gift card will be returned to a gift card and the portion applied from an additional payment type will be applied to its original tender.

Heard from under Mel's (frozen) breath while walking back to the car

"I love my son, I love my son ... <teeth clentched> I love my son"


Have a wonderful time in Cuba, I'll be waiting to hear about it.

IF you're at an all-inclusive resort can you see if you can figure out how they would handle dietary restrictions? Basically, would it be possible to get food not mass produced at a buffet???

I will definitely check about dietary stuff,,,,packed my Epipen (shellfish allergy),,while I love buffets the risk of cross-contamination is high for me.
Hugs and stay warm!!

Have a great trip Mel. I'm so envious that you are escaping this delightful cold snap we are having. Ahhh to feel nice warm sun on my face... (it will come I keep telling myself just 4 more months and winter will be over)

 

[Sailormoon2]

just 4 more months and winter will be over

4 months sounds so long! Ottawa is brutal right now!

 

[momof2gr8kids]

4 months sounds so long! Ottawa is brutal right now!

Hey it only feels like -29 in Ottawa at the moment. LOL. ! It feels like - 34 with the wind chill here - up from -42 this am! Yes, this time last year I was packing for our flight to Florida that was leaving New Year's Day.

Enjoy your trip Mel. I'm sure you're feeling lots of jealousy vibes right now!

You need the airmiles app on that cellphone then the card number is on there and you can use the app instead of the card.

Enjoy Cuba! Ottawa is cold, and I'm glad we have the time off, but it makes for a long two week break from school when it's too cold to go sledding or play in the snow. I'm glad I'm not at work though. Next vacation for us isn't until mid-April. By then I'm sure it'll be warming up again. I hope.

Happy New Year to all my airmiles friends! May this year bring us all good health and adventure!

I have today earmarked for sitting down to plan our summer adventure to Banff, Jasper, and Glacier National Parks. It’s almost time to book our campsites! Then my attention will turn to planning our cruise for this time next year, because I am wishing I was somewhere warmer right now!

2018 will be all about collecting for those flights. I hope its’s a great collecting year for us all.

Are you driving from Southern Ontario with a trailer? Or flying out there and renting something while there? We drove a few years ago with our trailer. Loved Banff. Didn't have enough time there and really want to get back. My friend works for Parks Canada in Banff and I'm hoping for a girls trip one day before she gets transferred somewhere else!

We are driving from Southern Ontario and tent camping!! We have three weeks, and have slowly but surely purchased all new camping equipment. We plan to stay in hotels every fourth day or so though. We are avid cottagers, but haven’t camped as much. We are so excited though. This trip is to take my 14 year old son and show him what an awesome country he lives in. A once in a lifetime experience. There will be lots of hiking and some white water rafting too. We bought our Canada Parks Pass the day before yesterday to take advantage of the 20% off by the 31st. I just can’t wait!

Here's to a wonderful year full of amazing hunting trips!

@marchingstar thought you might appreciate our New Years entertainment (up till after 2 to get this far)

Die Hard
Die Hard 2
Die Hard with a Vengance
Live Free or Die Hard

Today was supposed to be A Good Day to Die Hard (even if it is an embarrassment to the series ) but the version our son downloaded to PLEX for us has no subtitles and it's bad enough without adding in a bit of a language barrier

Our traditional NYE celebrations when our kids were little always involved movie marathons while we gorged on massive amounts of junk food. Once they were old enough to stay home we ventured up the street to friends and swapped out movies for dominoes & cards (keeping the junk food, cause FOOOOOD) This year saw too many things adding up to us not wanting to leave the house: exhaustion from 6 weeks of daily treks into TO, unexpected house guests, Christmas celebrations spread over 2 weekends, and temps cold enough to freeze the you-know-whats off a witch so we decided to stay home. Once everyone left yesterday, i got back into jammies, vacuumed up a pound of dog hair, gathered up every bag of snacks, chocolates, cookies, popcorn and about a gallon of water and headed to the basement. Hubby wandered in dragging his blankie and proclaimed "Yippee Ki Yay"

OR as Boyle says in Brooklyn 99

Sounds fun! If you're travelling through Northwestern Ontario and need some advice on nice parks or spots to stop at, send me a pm!

Happy New Year!!

Just stopping by while driving back home to Mtl from Qc city that my missing AMshops finally posted and I also got my 150 bonus AM.

 

[pigletto]

Just wondering.. Has everyone received their Bonus 150 from the AMshops coupon ? I definitely completed the requirements and can see them all in my account, but I haven’t received the 150 bonus. It says it could take up to 70 days but I am a little concerned that people are getting their bonuses and I don’t have mine.
