Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ottawamom]

I was reading through a bunch of posts on the Facebook page and someone mentioned that they just received Universal tickets from Airmiles(since they went back up on website) and that these tickets do have an expiry date on them (Expires in Full January 28, 2019). I know I had this discussion with someone recently just not certain where. Thought I would mention it here in case anyone was thinking of ordering tickets.

Got the ticket today! Woohoo! Ticket pricing going up on Feb 12 apparently per a bunch of Disney news sites. If you are considering a trip in 2018 you might wanna order the tickets now.

Thank you for the reminder. Ordered the last ticket I need off Disney's website just now, I might have forgotten.

Enjoy the cruise!!! Hope the weather is awesome!

I just saw over on the FB page, there is a contest for a trip to Disneyland. No AM needed to enter, just go to AM and I believe it is in the travel section. Gold and Onxy get two entries.

This would be so cool to win,,I've never been to Disneyland.........ah dreaming here!!
Thanks for sharing

Thanks! I was wondering about the expiration date. That's an awful date. While I'm hoping our family can go in 2019, we certainly would not be able to use them before January 28th.

Did anyone purchase groceries from Foodland last weekend? The flyer stated it was a 15x air miles event (I believe the weekend only) with purchase of $75 plus.

I purchased $80 something in groceries on February 3rd. My receipt shows the 4 base and 56 bonus miles.

However, when Foodland posted the miles yesterday, they only posted the 4 base miles. No bonus miles.

Did anyone else have this issue?

Thanks! When I read the rules, it says ages 18+. Since my daughter turned 18, I/she/we've been entering her into contests as well so I was excited to see that. Then it hit me... We could have signed her up for an Air Miles card during the STB event and earned 2,000+ miles for her! I signed hubby up but I didn't even think of our daughter.

I dug thru my deleted emails and found the link to sign up for the surveys that netted me 7 AM. You don't earn miles for doing the surveys but thru this company you will get to try products for free -- in the last couple of months I've had plug-in air freshener (costs around 10.00), weird fancy olive oil (cost close to 12)a kid's version of something like Boost (costs around 15.00). Also get coupons etc ..

Gawd, that contest is the dream lol I've spent 58 days at Disneyland in last two years but none yet with a VIP guide. lol

58 days!!! I think you qualify as your own VIP tour guide ... although the official ones likely get you in the back door!

So quick question in regards to the Canadian Resident special on the park hopper tickets. If the promo is over on Feb 28th, will the airmiles website change back to regular PH at regular PH prices shortly after? I am trying to decide whether to order my DL PH tickets now for our April trip, or wait if there's a possibility that I could get the 'regular' price airmiles one instead. We were hoping to upgrade our PH tickets to AP's and having the non- Canadian resident tickets would be less cash out of pocket. Anyone have any thoughts or advice on this? TIA!!

I totally agree with your approach, however I think your window might be too tight and you potentially be left without am tickets. Last year, as the Disney AM promos ended, they continued to offer the Canadian AM tickets until they were gone. Then there was a lull where no Disney AM tickets were offered, likely while they inventoried the regular tickets, decided on new points levels etc. If you were leaving end of April I might suggest wait it out, but I see March 31 you are leaving? So latest to order tickets would be 2 weeks after promo ends, I would guess they will still be offering the promo tickets.

I follow WDW mostly, DL not so much so I'm sure someone will add more detail from last year. You could also try searching "DL tickets" on this thread, I think Canadian AM tickets ran out in August last year as the promo was extended to May.

I mean, yes, totally don't take it for granted. I'd love a seat for the fireworks though!

Give it a week to see if the bonus post. I know when Metro has this kind of offer the bonus miles come from corporate and take extra time to post.

I am short a little over 200 airmiles to get to my last travel certificate and all the Foodland/Sobeys/Metro/Rexall offers are pitiful right now. Come on Airmiles this month has been so bad.
I've thought about it and I've have decided to gift my travel certificates to my youngest son that is graduating University this year,,he's had a rough year and deserves it, so $1,000.00 in travel certificates should be a nice graduation gift I think,,and he loves to travel more than I do.

bababear_50 I hear you. If it wasn't for GC and a bunch of targeted offers I wouldn't have had more than 20AM at Sobeys this week. Treat yourself to some new underthings. I picked up 3 La Vie en Rose GC yesterday got 210AM.

Anyone who shops at Petsmart, Rexall has Petsmart GC on at 20% off. No airmiles involved but it's a good deal if you need pet stuff.

So booked at |Disneyland for Aug this year. Have enough points for 1 5 day parkhopper ticket. But when I priced it out with the Can discount. AM works out to $60-70 more for the tickets. But redeeming would be free sort of just points. Not sure if I want to use the points for a poor exchange. But also do not know if this is the new AM, poorer returns.
3495 AM = 350 compared to 228us which now works out to 280-290can... Oh what to do...
