Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Tinkershelly]

Thanks to you all for the tips, tricks, and encouragement. We had our first Blue Friday here in Nova Scotia. I went last night at about 9:30, armed with a list and the paper coupon spend $100 get 100 AM. The store was very well stocked with the big ticket items in multiple locations. I got everything on my list except for the Lipton soup, which they had preprinted rainchecks ready. I spent $123 pre-tax and collected 501 AM. The spend $100 get 100AM coupon stacked with my personal offer of spend $85 get 25AM, which I didn't think would happen

I ordered a toaster on Thursday and it was 282 less miles today. Did the online chat and they have credited me back those miles as a good will gesture. I'm pretty happy with that.

Do you still happen to have that email for the $50/50 AM's? I must have deleted mine and would like to take it along. Not sure if its postable?

 

[Donald - my hero]

Here's a direct link to the Rexall coupon. I'm planning on taking some time later this afternoon to go thru this thread and the online shopping one to try and catch up on things that I've let slide. I'll add the link to the first post as well since it's good for the entire week and can be used as many times as you're able to make a $50 transaction!

Spend $50 get 50 AM Valid September 7th - 13th


****ETA -- even if you're one of our active posters you should occasionally glance at the first post because i do my best to keep it up-to-date with the most current flyer links (other than this week, i'll rectify that soon!), any active coupons (including the Rexall $5.00 survey one), direct links for the sign up offers like Rexall LnG, Metro & Sobey's targeted offers. I've saved my own butt more than once when I'm out and need a coupon for Rexall!!

Yeah I could have earned an additional 200 AM by breaking up the shopping into 3 trips (the cashiers/managers all refuse to scan the $100/100 coupon multiple times and override it)... but it is hard to write up a list of items for $100 when you are distracted by the realization of needing school snacks for the picky eater, surprise blue AM tags in the aisle, and a sense of haste, as the other moms start filling carts with granola bars, LOL

The reason I go in and out of the store and do these on separate transactions is because once, I had everything all arranged in the cart and on the belt, but then the ONLY cashier on duty started scanning it all together (before I put my re-usable bags at the end, so she was bagging in plastic, ARGH!) and there was a line forming behind me so I didn't want to be THAT customer that angered customers, the manager and the cashier... because I know I have to shop there a lot! And the other time I tried to get it all in my cart and break up the transactions, the manager got all huffy and told me, "you can only do the AirMiles promo ONCE! A! DAY! you Airmiles people, you're worse than couponers!" and I wasn't about to start an argument, so now... I actually do the shopping in separate transactions.

next time I swear I will do all my math first and color-code the shopping list so I know what to buy, in what order. gotta be organized and NOT get distracted!

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can find a pale pink throw blanket? I'm looking for the plush type but one that doesn't shed. I bought one at Costco but even after 5 washes it sheds worse than a cat. The back up plan would be either white or grey.

We've tried...
Homesense
Marshalls
Home Outfitters
Walmart

I've also looked online at The Bay and they have very limited options(no pink but they white and grey) but they are all over $100. This is for my DD to have at uni so I'm not inclined to spend that much.

Don't know if you sew but what about getting material at Fabricland and making one? I know that they have the fleece material there. YOu could even just get material and google how to make one with just cutting the fleece at the edges.

@dancin Disney style Simon's carries some really good quality merchandise. I shop there a lot at the Square One location. Hopefully this doesn't shed.

Still trying to get caught up on e-mails, laundry & other important things before i tackle this thread in detail. One of the things i need to do is *try* for 2 more online shops for the secondary card --did 3 that needed to happen anyway so why not try for the full 5 right -- got tired of staring at the screen and figured i would check for the exact time i needed to be done my shopping. I discovered a NEW term & condition added to that promo that's both interesting and confusing AKA standard operating for AM! N

Try Indigo. They had really nice blankets there a few months ago in store.

 

[dancin Disney style]

WOW!!!!! You guys are amazing!!!!! Thank you for so many suggestions. Right after I posted I heard the Wayfair commercial on the TV so I checked there and didn’t see anything that I thought she would like. I will check out that link though in case it’s something I didn’t see.

This didn’t photograph well but there is the most gorgeous PINK sunset right now.....it must be a sign.

Lovely photo - I was just trying to take the same type of photo.

The part I bolded... you're a better person than me. Ohhh that would set me off! I actually pulled out my cell phone at Foodland one day and phoned their CSR number and Air Miles to confirm I *could* use the promo more than once. I was so mad. Don't get between me and my air miles is all I can say.

Seriously, it drives me nuts when Cashiers and Managers try to impose *their* rules instead of following what is set out in regards to Air Miles.

Hmm... I guess they're trying to up sales at select stores. I don't shop at any of those. I'll have to remember to look this up on Monday in case more stores are added. Thanks!
