Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Days In the Sun]

On the PC Optimum side, I just received an e-mail congratulating me for redeeming $20 off my groceries this afternoon. It goes on to say if it wasn't me to contact them.

First time I received such an e-mail. Maybe they are taking people's missing points more seriously now.

I'm in for mix and match but I may wait it out to near the end and see what happens with Megamiles, just in case something combines. I'm not expecting it to, just would be annoying to shop too early.

I also don't think this one will run smoothly, as with many others, I have yet to have an airmilesshops promo that I haven't had to chase miles. However, there are quite a few things I held off buying before Christmas because of the STB airmilesshops minimum $100 spend requirement so I have a few things on my list.

good idea about waiting for Mega Miles! I'm not sure yet if I'll try to do the mix and match event, but I would much rather wait and see what kinds of coupons we'll get for the next big promotion.

today has felt like the longest week ever...

my fingers are crossed for a Blue Friday flyer tonight too--I think we've all earned it!

I'm definitely in the waiting and see mode for the Mix and Match promotion. I'm just figuring out if I can even do 3 without purchasing things I don't need in the next few months.

Well DANG IT! Once again The Duck won't get to do Blue Friday!!! I have a follow-up appointment in Toronto, hubby always come with me for those & If i can find a decent rate at a hotel we'll spend the night. Until late this afternoon I hadn't found anything under $300 because there's a Leaf's game on Saturday but what popped up? Our favourite hotel for $143 and I booked it pronto. Urban Fresh never participates in Blue Friday and even if they did, who wants to cart a bunch of groceries on public transit

 

[marcyleecorgan]

Oooooooooooooh these look like things I could stock up on.

 

[hdrolfe]

Based on what I can see, I may get to do a Blue Friday! if stuff is still in stock when I get to the store of course have to work first so I won't be there until after 4.

I finally remembered about the ready to eat pasta that I had gotten a raincheck for from sobeys. 50 AM for 2 @ 2.50 each. So I got 200 AM for $20.

 

[ottawamom]

Yeah on the Blue Friday. And lucky for me the weather should also co-operate so I can do Foodland and Sobeys. Not wanting to push my luck but we really need a Gift Card deal. I'm almost out.

I find it a very sad state of affairs that a peak at a good grocery flyer on a Tuesday night gets me all excited and making plans for later in the week. Oh well, we need something to get us through the rest of this winter.

So I was excited thinking that we could access some airport lounges with our American Express Airmiles Platinum card, but the guy on the phone is telling me no. I do have the BMO world elite, but there are no priority pass lounges in the terminals we will be in. There's American Express, but not for the AM Platinum. Ugh.

Pulled this over here from the gift card thread ...

The info you got, while disappointing, is correct. I got all excited when AMEX partnered up with Pearson and created the whole "Cloud10" thing with discounts/free access to lounge/priority security lines until i did some digging. Gotta put out the big bucks for the Reserve card

Here's a huge image from the AMEX site

Hmm... might be worth it for me to do Sobeys this week then over FreshCo... as I have the email opt in spend $100 get 75AM on top of that... but then again price matching is king these days for me!

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Shoppers has another 20x event on Saturday this week too!

I really need to restock the meat department in our freezer, so blue friday may have to take a back seat this week to superstore (chicken is on sale!)

When it is my pay week, my budget is smaller than DHs, so I have to be more frugal and efficient.

Grrr... I was up late last night and about 10 mins away from midnight so I stayed up to read the flyers. So tired this morning!

Will probably go to Sobeys then this week... 175AM for spending $100+ at the least, plus there is an offer on bacon and I'm doing Keto so I think I will also try and get english muffins ($4 for 20AM) & Pam if they have the coconut oil one included ($7.98 for 40AM). Folgers is on sale too and I have coupons for them. Plus FreshCo doesn't always have Johnsonville sausages but Sobeys will have them on sale this week

Does anyone know if Sobeys sells Ro-Tel? I want to make a queso chicken soup instant pot recipe that calls for it! Foodland had it in their flyer last week!!
