Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ottawamom]

I'm curious as to how this works. I may have to drive to Foodland tomorrow and pick up another GC just to test out the theory unless someone with the APP experience comes along and shares their experience (re double dipping). I'll report back but it may take a week to see how it really plays out in my account.

 

[isabellea]

I know that Jean Coutu often has the main promo that is offered in the flyer on the AM app and whether I activate it or not, I get the same number of AM. I think they do that for people like me who rarely looks at flyers (I don't receive any paper ones either since I have a No flyer sign on my mailbox) but will look at Apps. I would be VERY surprised if they give double the AM because of the app offer.

 

[Disney Addicted]

I wonder if the AM on the Opt in offer on the app are "Bonus" in addition to the flyer offer. Kind of like a loaded offer at Rexall and being able to double dip.

What Foodland APP does an opt-in offer though? I have the Sobeys/Foodland APP and I don't need to load them or opt in like at Rexall. Is there another APP I don't know about?

Here is where you can find out about the air miles app

You'll get even more Miles on the go!"

Thanks Mel, it looks like there might be some offers that are exclusive to the APP after all <sigh>

How do these offers differ from regular AIR MILES offers?
Some offers require no additional action once they are activated and loaded to your digital card. The AIR MILES App may also contain some offers which have a price look-up (PLU) or barcode that needs to be scanned or manually entered by the cashier upon checkout at participating Partner locations.

Can I view offers on my mobile smart phone or tablet? What about desktop?
The AIR MILES App can be viewed on mobile only; tablet is currently not supported with version 3.0. There is no desktop equivalent

 

[isabellea]

This is what the app offers look like on the app. Since the 150AM for 150$ GC offer doesn't have a barcode attached to it like the MM offer, I really think it's just to remind people of the flyer offer.

 

[ottawamom]

So no extra AM. It would be sooo unfair for AM to offer things on the app that others without the app couldn't take advantage of. I started down this garden path because someone questioned whether they would be able to get extra AM because you had to "load" the offer. As isabellea has used the app at Jean Coutu before and it didn't make any difference I'll take that as definitive.

It was worth a shot.

I think its about time that I get the computer gurus in my house to explain apps to me.....
I'm sure if I try I can figure this out.lol.

I know there is a countdown calm down app that someone suggested to me for one of the kids I work with (Autism,Anxiety)
I just haven't figured out how to get the app yet,,ah technology.
Right now I am making calm down sensory bottles and just dumped glitter all over myself....I think I need the calm down app...lol.
Sometimes I feel so old..lol,lol.

I just checked the Airmiles App and realized that only stores near by where I live have offers shown up in the App. Foodland and Sobeys are more than 10 km away, so it’s not there in the App. This can be the reason why the Foodland offer shows up in some and not others’ App.

If you don't have the app, all you need is someone you trust to enter your AM # and pin to access your account on the app and load the various offers. Some may require a code (so you would need to show it at the cash) but many others "appear" to be a Load and Go type deal. Once loaded to your card you're good to go.

Fellow hunters here can keep everyone aware of offers on the app that aren't on the website (ones that would be of interest anyway).

This whole app things is very new to me. I bought a new phone last month because I wanted the Disney app for our trip. I'm too much of a control freak to get my DH to do the app stuff on his phone. My DS's kid me that I bought the phone just for our trip. (Really I got it for the games!) Actually I got it just so I wasn't left behind everyone else in the house. There's just something wrong when I who pay the bills, have the crappiest technology. Time to bring myself up to date.

Coles notes version: an APP is piece of software that you will download to your mobile device. Typical examples are games, fitness trackers, weather, news and as it pertains to this group, businesses. I have a few on my phone that i use regularly -- CloudLibrary to listen to my audiobooks when i walk, Spotify for music when i need to drown out the noise on the bus, log for my BP, Facebook Messenger so i can chat with the kids and Candy Crush.
Some APPs have desktop versions as well -- the one i use for the library books & Spotify are also on my desktop for easier searching.

Serious problem with most APPs is they require a LOT of space on your device and some will drain your battery. My poor phone may be Smart(er) but it is stuffed full of what is referred to as "Bloatware" that can't be removed even if i don't use it!

And GLITTER?? oh good grief ...

Flyer and app deals don't double dip. If Rexall shows 5AM when you buy X in in the flyer and the app, it's just reminding you of the deal, via the app.

Speaking of Rexall. You're already golden if they posted the AM bonus per the flyer anyhow...

 

[Days In the Sun]

100am wus $50 at Rexall tomorrow with email coupon:

 

[Donald - my hero]

I'll be hitting up a Rexall tomorrow for sure now! Going to try and combine it with the MM coupon, fingers crossed it works

Here's a direct link to the coupon in case anyone prefers to access it that way
Rexall Spend $50 get 100 AM Valid Wednesday March 28th ONLY

*** edited to correct my stupid error!

I checked my phone and I do have the Air Miles APP. I forgot about it. That Foodland $150 is misleading... it does say you need to activate the offer, and yet you don't need to via the flyer. I wonder if those who did will get 150 twice.

I have the the rest of those so I'm good to go. I just need to stop forgetting to check the AM app itself. Thanks!

 

[ottawamom]

You got me wondering again. I'll take an afternoon drive and test the theory out. What's one more GC.

 

[Days In the Sun]

I've studied the fine print on both the coupon above AND the MM coupon and neither appears to say it can't be used with other coupons, the only thing that is mentioned (other than the standard exclusions) is that they can't be exchanged for cash. I'll be hitting up a Rexall tomorrow for sure now!

Here's a direct link to the coupon in case anyone prefers to access it that way
Rexall Spend $50 get 100 AM Valid Wednesday March 28th ONLY

It does have the standard "cannot be combined with another airmiles store wide coupon" in the bigger print ... under the 100 and before the fine print. Hopefully that still doesn't mean anything.
