Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ottawamom]

So I printed my grocery vouchers and went and did some shopping at Sobey’s yesterday . That wasn’t too much fun. The cashier didn’t know what they were , so he brought over a manager . The manger kept saying “they keep warning us about these types of coupons, there so many fake ones out there .”
They had me stand around while they went and called somewhere . They huddled around eachother and kept saying whispery things about coupons and came back to tell me they were checking things out to protect me and themselves . At this point it was comical . Finally the manager comes over exclaiming, “Oh it’s like gift card! There’s a barcode and everything !” . Ummm, I’m pretty sure I explained what it was at the outset of this 15 minute debacle.

So it turns out I am not a scam artist which is just great . But I sure won’t be using the vouchers in that store again.

I had a friend try to use a Foodland GC in FreshCo the other week. The cashier said they don't accept that card. She didn't challenge them but called me when she got home. Later that same day (after confirming with Sobeys customer service that policy hadn't changed) I went to the store armed with a printout from the website and my Foodland card. Presented my card to the senior cashier who happened to be training a new cashier, was told they don't accept them. To which I replied "Oh yes you do" (I now knew I had the cashier my friend had). I followed this up with "Lets make this a teachable moment" and pulled out my printout from the website. The senior cashier didn't utter another word while she completed my transaction.

I don't know how Metro does it, every time I think "oh we're running low on TP!" and there it is in their flyer on sale... magic. Wish it had AM bonus on it

Not sure if I'll be getting flyers today, we have a 5 to 15 cm snowstorm coming so it may be buried in snow or not delivered because of the weather.

Have I ever mentioned that the stork dropped me in the wrong location..............I hate winter.
So I tried to head out to work but after spinning out a couple of times I returned home and called work,,,my life is important.
So a snow day for me.
I was going to go to Rexall but I am now going to put that off till tonight and hope they clear the roads a bit.
Stay safe Dis friends.

I ordered this morning, need them for August 2018 so it makes no difference to me which ones they are. I will post when they come in, usually get them Wednesday but who knows with the STB being awarded they may be overwhelmed.

@osully, my 7day Canadian WDW airmiles tickets arrived. They are the same as the green paper exchange certificates that I received last year when I ordered. The only date on them says 12/19/17 which I imagine was the print issue date, no expiring date mentioned.

I ordered three under three different accounts, they are all the same, all paper.

Yes, my understanding of any Disney ticket media is that it is stamped with the date of issue/printing and the only way to find out it's expiry date is to add it to your MDE account. Could you do that and let us know what's showing up?

I normally would be glad to but I had such a hard time with tickets in November, I really don't want to link them until I'm sure they are being used. They messed up the order of the tickets at guest services when we were there and it really costed us a day of our vacation to get it straightened out. I just don't want to add more tickets to our accounts since we already have a mess.

WOW! Not a problem at all! We aren't redeeming for tickets anyway --- saving for the travel vouchers, we're up to $2,300 worth now

Just updating the flyer links in the first post and doing a quick glance thru them to see if anything jumps out.
So far from Metro

• Astro Yogurt $2.99 ea, buy 2 get 15 AM
• Cheese Strings $5.99 buy 2 get 12 AM (just slightly better than 1:1 which is good for Metro!)
• Chocolate Shredded Wheat & Oreo Cereal $2.99 buy 2 get 5 AM (not good return, but YUCK Chocolate Shredded Wheat??? WHAT??!!)
• Nutella $3.99 ea buy 2 get 5 AM -- NOT good return but you also get free pancake mix that costs $2.99 -- Pancake day is Tuesday
• There are also a LOT of items that are sitting around the 1:1 return -- the "big promo" that is normally on the back page isn't so terrific though

I know this has been asked before but does the expiry date for tickets show up for all tickets. I have tickets I got from AM back in August 2016 (pre expiry dates, pre 1st Canadian offer, just expiry 14 days from 1st use). Will those have any kind of expiry date listed? I'm using MDE on the computer as I can't App (dumb smart phone).

I have the same however with the weather being what it is, I'm going to wait for tomorrow. New flyer tomorrow? Is that correct?

Nope, there is no flyer for Thursday at Rexall this week.

Now in comparison has anyone received hard tickets (not the green ones) with expiry dates from AirMiles?

I would risk it at this point but personally don’t want to order them and have the ticket arrive while we are away (even if I shop to my work).

I got a green card and when I entered it into MDE it shows a 2030 expiry date. I also got one ticket from Expedia and it is showing the same date. I have one last Airmiles ticket on the way and when I get it I will post the date.

Well should have done this Saturday too and my ticket could be here already haha. Just pressed order

Thanks guys!!

Those are the tickets I want! I wonder if they really did have the Canadian tickets in stock from last year's promo. Because this years ones do expire. So annoying. Scared to take the chance that I end up getting the ones that expire.

BTW my husband is so good and really got on board with the AM collecting. Always fills up at Shell and everything. He is pretty happy with the 2 tickets we have gotten for free in the past year now!!

I used to shop Thursday nights, system turns over at 6pm so you will get next week's flyer prices. You won't get any weekend special prices, just the week's sale prices. YMMV.

I can confirm this. As of Nov 2017, all the tickets that I had that did not have expiry dates were given the an expiry date of Dec 31 2030. I linked unused old AM tickets, unused AM tickets converted to AP but not yet activated, old non expire tickets with days left on them and AM Cdn vouchers and they were all given Dec 31 2030.
