Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ilovetotravel1977]

I had an email from the Bay for 28 miles, but they haven't been posted to my account yet.

To jump into the suitcase chatter (that i started ) ... i spend most of my days texting with my best friend, a fellow DIS-er who lives in PA, and I of course shot her a picture of the minnie bag and that led to her teasing me with THESE! First this one,

My presto card is in this little guy that i can attach to my purse handle and easily tap thru, makes me happy to look down and see Donald hanging around and remember where & when i got him: Emporium on Main Street to hold my Annual Pass card in Jan 2017

Most times if I'm able to tell them so many insane details that prove I'm looking at an exact receipt they take my word for it -- date, time (right down to the minute the email came, in 24 hr clock ) exact dollar amount, full website address of store, the multiplier amounts I'm due from BOTH store and the AMshop site. I also let them know if the date of transaction is different from the receipt date and then might even tell them ship dates if they push. I've only once had someone ask for a screenshot and that was during my FB chat and she eventually backed down when i told her all the above. I don't think there's anyway to attach any type of image thru the AM chat window but i'm not sure. If they do ask and it is large, too bad for them

Worked perfectly. Thank you.

@Donald - my hero So when they say receipts, do they want screen shots of something? My receipt does not fit in one screen shot.

I chatted the other night regarding my Indigo order. She just asked the amount and date. She knew the multipliers and credited me the 95 AM missed and told me she made sure to log it as a STB purchase. I didn’t have to send in the receipt or anything.

Holy smokes gang! I was just looking at the CDN Community board and noticed that I somehow missed an amazing milestone for this group, look how many views we've generated! I've been watching the number of replies as i tend to celebrate those here but, dang, ONE MILLION VIEWS

Wow look at us go.

I couldn't resist checking out the stupid FB challenge (nope didn't post it there, since i don't actually do THAT!) but thought you might all see the humour in the situation. As my daughter pointed out BTW, Donald changed more than i did -- and the original shot is from 2000, so almost 20 years*** I originally thought it was 2007 till my daughter corrected me -- she's also in that pic but i cropped her out

A couple of questions can help track this down (if you even care) What is the notation attached the posting? Did you do the auto conversion of points during the StB promo? If so did those miles post recently?
If it shows like this, it's based on any HBC points you earned last week (but dang , you would have spent a TON!)

IF you did the StB and they have yet to post some people reported over on that thread that they posted as odd amounts not the number they were expecting.

What you have posted is how it's marked on my airmiles, I did do the automatic conversion during StB and received 18 AM. I never shop at the Bay so I'm really confused where it came from lol.

Yeah i don't either .. you could try looking at your HBC account and see what shows up there? I could show you my account but it would just further confuse the issue since i DO shop at lot at the Bay so my earn rate is "different" plus our Petro Can card is also connected meaning we earn points for that as well AND i do surveys ...

ME? I've long since trying to figure out some of the oddities connected to AM when little things pop up, just give me the miles I'm expecting!!

Thanks for the info! Like kitntrip, I did the conversion as part of the StB promotion but have not shopped at The Bay since and yet I have received miles on 3 separate occasions now. I would just be happy if I was credited for the miles that I did earn as I don't do anywhere near as good a job as a lot of people on these AM threads in terms of keeping track of my miles/purchases .

I've been 6 times now (2 stores) and haven't seen any yet. Last time I checked was yesterday, I only stop if I'm going in or going by and have a few minutes to check. Hopefully you have some in your area.

Sobey's in North Ajax has tons and tons both in the pasta section and at the end of an aisle.

I love the first suitcase!

Ahhh, that's where they all are! I'm West of GTA, a little too far for me, but good to know there is stock around.

Yup and if you were even farther east, the Foodland in Whitby had tons and they were on sale for $1.00 per bag not the $2.00 from the ad but no air miles.

So if you remember, I went to my Sobeys the wed before blue friday to put in my order and hope they brought it in time. No such luck. But the product manager said that he would still honour the deal.
Well this morning I had a call from him saying my 108 bags were in and I can come pick them up. Checked to make sure the AM were still attached to them, he said yes.
Went to the store, of course he was not there and everyone there want to see my physical rain check and no way for 108 bags. They did call the product manager and worked it all out. So 108 bags, but 2 for $5 not the flyer price, thats ok. Walked out with 2840AM, they had spend 100 get 100 on as well. There were an additional 40AM for the amounts as well. Plus coupon for 15cents off gas at shell. Seeing as we have a bug Honda Odyssey thats 80 liters, that will save another 10-15 dollars.
Not too bad. Add this to my STB and almost have Onyx rapped up.
Good luck to all.

Finally bit the bullet and ordered the stand mixer I've wanted! Just over 3500 AM plus 110 AM bonus for ordering Those did not show up right away though so will make a note to watch out for those.

I was waiting til the 2000 STB miles posted but I realized that I can't order my Universal Orlando tickets too far in advance anyways so might as well order my mixer first!

This is the one I got: https://rewards.airmiles.ca/merchan...tertm-55-quart-52l-stand-mixer---silver/51162

Guess I got the last one in stock? Now shows out of stock! Lucky me!

 

[alohamom]

WOW @osully good thing you pulled the trigger on that mixer and the bonus air miles make it that much sweeter!
