Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[flyingjay]

No mention of the "once in a lifetime clause" there is with other cards so it may work. They used to specifically mention this but I didn't see it anywhere in the fine print. Part of the fine print:

BMO AIR MILES World Elite Mastercard (“Credit Card”) applications must be received between October 2, 2018 and March 31, 2019 (the “Offer Period”) to be eligible for the following Bonus Miles, Companion Flight Rebate and Annual Fee Waiver offers (each an “Offer” and collectively the “Offers”)

These offers are subject to change or can be withdrawn without notice. Limit of one of each Offer per Collector Number. Existing BMO AIR MILES World Elite Mastercard customers who cancel their card during the “Offer Period” and existing BMO Mastercard customers who transfer into this Credit Card product during the “Offer Period” are not eligible for the Offers. If the Credit Card is cancelled within ninety (90) days from the date it was opened, all Miles earned within that period will be cancelled and the Companion Flight Miles (if applicable) will be clawed back. The AIR MILES Bonus Miles Offer and the Companion Flight Rebate Offer are each subject to the AIR MILES Reward Program Terms and Conditions.

As I think about this offer I may get DH to sign up for the card. If we time it for when our car insurance is due that will take care of the spending required to get the 3000AM. He can cancel the card before its annual fee comes due in a year and we will have flights for two to Las Vegas for minimal AM (3655+655-3000 bonus =1310AM) and the taxes.

Yeah...that's what I figured too. I cancelled mid June/2018 in the hopes that they'd come out with this promo again. I knew that if I waited too long to cancel that I wouldn't qualify for the promo. I am probably gonna call BMO before I sign up to make sure that I won't be disqualified. But I'm going to wait till March to get the new card and I'll put in DW's name instead of mine...so I won't have an update for anyone for quite a while. Our trip for 2019 is already booked, so I don't think we'll need the bonus till we book a trip in 2020.

I've never played the credit card game till last year. Previously I've only had the Avion for 15+ years. I got the BMO card in Aug/2017 and the Westjet MC in Aug/2018 (for both DW and I). I think I'm going to cancel my Avion now as I've redeemed pretty much all the points. I'm going to miss the flexibility, but the other promo's are sure making it worth it for our family. Getting flights with AM just takes a TON of diligence!

BMO MC 500 miles offer...what was the T&C for when the miles would be posted by? I still haven't received mine and my statement was Sept. 25.

 

[Days In the Sun]

Rexall, tomorrow's one day 100am/$50 coupon. Weekend promo is 100am/$70 or 60am/$50

I have a scanable offer in my L&G for tomorrow. The bar code is different, I wonder if they would scan both. 200 AM for $50 would be worth it to me. Not sure I need $50 of stuff there right now.

Ahhh, I was going to pass on this one, looks like I'm in to try.

 

[Days In the Sun]

I got an exciting 3 cents off per litre at Shell for October and November. But only on weekends, and not this coming weekend. So. Probably won't be doing that since gas tends to be at least that much more expensive on weekends, and I fill up during the week. Ah well!

Husband got this as well. We might use it on weekend travel, we have at least one trip coming up. He also got 25am for 2 fill-ups.

Sobeys and Foodland, Air Canada gift cards are 10% off Oct 4 to Oct 10.

Sobeys GC deal. Airmiles coupon said we were limited to 4 GC. Sobeys flyer says the limit is 5 GC per collector #. (In case it makes a difference to anyone)

THANKS for the head's up for this coupon!! Now, to answer the questions that this will generate:

• It comes from the APP
• It will stack
• You can take a copy of this coupon and have it scanned
• It WILL stack
• It WILL work even if you don't have the APP
• It is NOT targetted

This happened about a month ago on the same day there was a big email/Facebook posted coupon and I took a screen shot of the offer from this thread and used it no problem. Have a new phone now so i loaded the APP, saved the offer and took a screen shot for those of you who don't have access. You can either stick it on your mobile device or print it out and have it scanned -- some cashiers might balk but just ask them to try it (you have nothing to lose and 100 AM to gain!)

OK, i just did a search thru this thread and found the link to the T & C (one of the reasons I use this distinctive font is so i can easily find my posts ) and it doesn't mention when the miles will post. However, when i did a FB post i got this response:

It is a great Promotion and hopefully one that was easy for a lot of Collectors to use. I am happy to have been able to help and am here if you need anything else. The Miles will be posted to all qualifying Accounts in up to 120 days after the Promotion end date so I hope yours get posted quickly. Have a great day Jacqueline.

While the purchase $150 get 150 air miles shows a limit of up to 5 purchases on the Sobey's flyer, the Foodland flyer does NOT. The fine print on it doesn't specify a limit... it just says 1 offer per coupon. I hope I can still get 5 gift cards at Foodland as well as Sobeys.

Now the more I think about this new offer, the more I am hoping that once again, Sobeys and AM screwed up in our favour. Have 2 different quantities like they did before, got us 300am for every $150. 2 different promos just at the same time. I will test this out this weekend and cross my fingers. Remember to take the coupon and multiples if you can. Remember to keep copies as well. Good luck all.

I don't think so this time around. The last time we had a coupon to scanned as well as the offer being in the flyer and this time there is no extra coupon, just mention of it in the Offer Hub. BOTH this offer and the Mega Miles had the "can't be combined with other offers" fine print BUT with the coupon to scan it put them in a bit of a bind since it made it 2 separate offers.

Even though the fine print on the offer in the Hub says coupon must be shown there's no bar code for them to scan so I'm not sure how they'll be able to make this work in our favour. I'll be hitting up Urban Fresh on Friday and I'll see what happens and report back!!

thank you for your longer explanation. I read the posts above and thought I was out of luck as I didn't have the offer in my "computer" Load and Go. After reading your explanation I remembered to check the APP and I had the other coupon there. I will be off to Rexall tomorrow after I pick up my GC at Sobeys.
