Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Oh I'm debating the Rexall shop tomorrow... I'd have to go at lunch and don't want to have to fight to use both coupons. I did get the flyer, haven't had a chance to look through it.

Even if you only end up getting credited for one of the coupons it's better than the weekend threshold spend -- you would need to spend $70 to get the 100 AM whereas tomorrow you only need to spend $50. I just ask the cashier to scan every coupon and let the system work it out. IMHO there are more bonus offers in this current flyer as well.

Hubby needs 2 things that will take me to the $50 mark easy -mouth guard & antiperspirant both of which are over $20

I'll have to check the flyer and see what I need I guess. We don't need a lot right now, but I do need airmiles I stocked up last week on cold medicine for the coming season, we have a lot of toothpaste and other items already. Oh right, tomorrow is not the new flyer that starts Friday. Hmm. I think I saw some things in there I got coupons for with the flyers too (it's a whole bunch of advil and related stuff coupons). Hmm.

It's never too early to think about stocking stuffers or travel sized products. Last week i saw a cute metal box of Mickey Band-aids in the travel section. I always have a package of Wet ones in my backpack, comes in handy all the time.

At Rexall do manufacturer coupons count as part of the total, like if I have one for $4 off and I need to spend $50, do I really have to spend $54? To get the Airmiles bonuses.

I picked those up last month to put in with my D-I-L and granddaughters Christmas things. So adorable.

Yes manufacturer coupons count as tender ie. payment. I do this all the time, You just have to make sure you know the amount you need after the coupons when you get to the cashier. For example $4 in coupons means the subtotal has to be at least $46 before tax. I never pay until I see the subtotal.

Need to book @$5000 worth of flights soon, so this caught my eye...how/where do you use these?

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

Anytime for Air Canada payments, booking flights online, luggage fees, whatever. The only limitation which might put a damper on your booking is Air Canada allows 2 forms of payment when booking. So 2 gift cards or 1 gift card, 1 credit card, etc. The problem is that the maximum amount on the Air Canada gift cards at Sobeys is $500. So if your flight's under $1000 you are ok, over $1000 then you could pay with a $500 gift card and the balance on credit.

The two forms of payment issue is the same many places, including Disney.

natter natter natter,,
Ok I will be patient...................
able to accept or tolerate delays, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious.
"be patient, your time will come"
I know airmiles says
"Any change in your preference will take effect at 3:00am ET the following day."

Sobeys won't post the AM until Saturday's date even if you purchase them tomorrow. You should be OK if they don't change it overnight so long as it is changed by Saturday 3am.

i gotta work on my gutsiness so i can say the same at my rexall! the employees can be a bit rude and will outright refuse these kinds of things. but 200 miles for 50$ is a pretty great deal...maybe i’ll give it a shot.

I must admit I love my Rexall location. The Cashier never gives me a problem about Air Miles and often lets me know about offers she thinks I might not know about.

For instance, here's TWO she told me about today. I wish I knew earlier! I would have purchased the $42.50 e-gift card and then used the $50 value this morning. It looks like I can purchase the $42.50 e-gift card anytime up to October 13th and use the $50 value anytime later at Rexall. I'll be purchasing one or two before the 13th.

I'm sure I never saw anything posted about this here or anywhere else. Has anyone heard about these offers before now?

Ohh, and my Rexall shop this morning netted 216 miles for $50.95. I purchased 2 Neocritians at $9.99 each, 2 Rexall brand of sudadfed's at $7.99 each, 1 dimetapp at $14.99.

This is awesome! Thanks! I just got my $50 gift card, will head to Rexall after work and use it to get my stuff and 200 airmiles! I'm new to actually focusing on collecting airmiles, this is a great start!

 

[Disney Addicted]

The Air Miles Live Chat window looks very different now.. I cannot see an option to print out the chat anymore.

EDITED: I asked. There is NO print feature anymore. Guess I'll switch to taking photos with my phone and saving them.

Glad i could help! Print out that memo. It may be that cashiers don't know how to use it yet. You might have to show it to them.

 

[Donald - my hero]

OMG this is a game changer -- don't forget that E-BAY is now a shop on the AIRMILESSHOP portal!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Disney Addicted & @CanadianKrista I hope you remembered this awesome fact, you'll get the Airmiles for buying the gift card, extra AM if you use your AMEX or MC on the portal and then turn around and get the AM when you use it in store


ETA i just did the "game" on the portal and got 3X multiplier -- the Duck is perhaps a tiny bit too excited about this


ETA one more thing -- I can't get signed into my Ebay account because i can't remember my password and the text to change it isn't coming no matter how many times i ask for it Might be forced to make a new account!

It was a Rexall GC? What website did you use to purchase it and get the discount?
