Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ilovetotravel1977]

Based on the offer I got last week (see below), T&C says it's cumulative. Does this mean I will earn 110 miles at $315, then when I hit $405 spend I earn another 140 miles, then another 170 miles once I hit $495? Or does it mean the most I can earn is 170 miles on $495?

110 Bonus Miles when you spend $315
Or
140 Bonus Miles when you spend $405
Or
170 Bonus Miles when you spend $495

My dietitian told me that Milestones is excellent with dietary issues and we discovered that they have a pretty awesome Brunch menu that's good all weekend & holidays from opening till 4 pm that is easy to work around for me so once every couple of weeks we're doing that instead of just coffee! They also give Scene points and once you go they push out another offer to get mega points on your next visit, bill was just under $40 and we got 310 scene points, pretty awesome in my book.

Mmmmmm Milestones. We don't have one here locally. But when we are in the big city, we do like to go there if it's just the two of us. They have delicious eggs benny!!!!! I love that they offer scene points. We tend to go see quite a few movies all year ( it's the one relatively cheaper forms of entertainment around here ) . Good score for the Scene Points

Brief word of advice:

If you ever get connected to Georges on Air Miles Live Chat, disconnect immediately and try again. It's not worth the headache.

You only get one bonus not all three. So if you reach $495 you get 170 total.

Okay, that's what I thought, but I was hoping otherwise

THIS!!! OMG -- don't know about you but i got the feeling he's ESL and definitely struggling. Also he isn't familiar with the programme AT ALL and not willing to admit that fact.

Side Note about on line chat:

If you ever get the pleasure of chatting with Sarah you are SOooooOOOO lucky! She is knowledgeable, friendly, an avid collector and she takes the time to figure out what's going on and if it's at all possible fixes things up quickly. I was missing some miles that i had completely forgotten about (gasp, how did i even manage that!!) from a transaction thru the stupid online portal and after an extremely lengthy chat I have all the miles i needed

Why was it lengthy? Because she remembered chatting with me before during the whole travel voucher disaster, wanted to know how things turned out and if we'd made it to Jamaica. We ended up talking about the resort we ARE going to next January and she's now looking into Hotel Xcaret as well She was ready to take a break and instead used her phone to google the resort! She then asked after all of YOU and wanted to know if everyone had managed to complete the entire StB.

Called chat and e voucher was sent. So I think I am all caught up on missing airmiles and rewards.
I am into save mode for airmiles now,,,no more spending on rewards.

Hi Mort
Ohhhhh the 2 bedrooms are big and wonderful!
For our 2 bedroom stay we had a big huge balcony off the dining room and master bedroom--note a small wet bar area in the dining room. Our stay was in the HH area though.

We have enjoyed South point as the quiet pool there is nice (but I'd only do this if you have a car).

I have stayed close to
Turtle shack a couple of trips and appreciated the ease of walking over to grab a drink,coffee and snacks..

**My sons says*( I've never used the coffee makers at OKW,,) Basket coffee maker,, small bag of coffee and a filtre when we were last there.
I always enjoy taking the old trundle boat to Disney Springs,,don't forget your Starbucks card.

Good info here

Hanks rental has some cool bikes you could rent and tour around the resort.
Hope you guys have a great time.
Regards
Mel

I'm almost caught up on outstanding miles. One Lawton's offer left to chase on Feb 14 (spend $25/30 miles).

I also had to do the live chat for PC Optimum tonight, which was successful. Now I'm back over 50,000 points and will be able to get another WDW gift card this weekend.

Thanks you 2. We are actually there May 3-6. I know it looks like May 4, but that was 4 of us going..lol
Its just the boys for golfing outing, and we wont have a car. Not worried about walking 15 mins or so. I have heard good things about the Turtle shack area. Also looking at building numbers over 30 as I hear that they have a second door to the master bath so dont need to walk in the master room.
So is that a wet bar and full kitchen,,not like 4 men need more room to put the booze.
Ottawamom, might pass you at DS if you are venturing down there at that time. But might see you in Ottawa soon. Have to take my daughter to a skate comp March 1st. in Kanata and looking at skating on the canal.
Thanks again

 

[bababear_50]

Oh yes you get a full kitchen,,,the wet bar is located in the dining room.
The Master bedroom also had a seperate door to the balcony.
This is what our 2 bedroom looked like

I got $300 CAD in Disney gift cards for my birthday that just passed and I’m $8 short for another $100 in PC points. I’ll grab another card when I hit $100. I won’t always collect this quickly but I’m happy with my progress so far ! I should be in good shape for late 2020.

Nice! I just like having another earning stream. We aren't going again until 2021 (maybe early May), so I have lots of time to collect, so do you!

i love reading about everyone’s disney planning!

no specific trip on my horizon but i love hearing about new resorts, new things to do, and new ways to save for the next visit. thanks to everyone who’s sharing their plans—i think we all love living vicariously through one another

So true!

I am so excited. I finally got the special fast track reward option that a bunch of you have already received. Now to decide what I want to save for. Decisions, decisions.
