Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[osully]

For my $100 regular grocery shop I got just over 200 am at Sobeys and got to stock up on bacon & the coconut oil PAM I was hoping for. That one is usually never on AM promo! (well at least it wasnt at Metro 2 weeks ago!)

Plus I will be expecting the bonus 75 miles for them missing me.

LOL

I tell you what I did not miss the past month since I shopped the last Blue Friday at Sobeys... their pricing on the non sale items. And nearly all the packs of eggs had one or two cracked. And the meat ALL expires on Mar 3...

For my Blue Friday spent $162 and got 313 AM plus I should get the bonus 75 from the “missing you” email.

I went to Sobeys for Blue Friday after dinner. Got there around 9 pm. Of course all the English muffins were gone. Couldn’t find the Wet Wipes either. Fuji water was gone too. Got to stock up on Healthy Choice and bought 3 packs of jumbo dogs for school’s breakfast club. Spent $101 and got 371 AM. Didn’t do as well as last time but better than my first. This is my third attempt on Blue Friday.

Do the Universal tickets ship quickly? I know the Disney ones do.

Baaahhaaahhaaaa, I must be really tired this morning. My first thought was 460 miles from Sobeys, that's a long way to drive. I'm still laughing at my stupidity.

I was eating my lunch, headphone on in the universal signal of "leave me alone", in the middle of a very busy food-court-ish set up on the lower level of the Eaton Centre when i read this ... dropped my cutlery, sputtered on my perrier and literally laughed out loud. THANKS for the chuckle

But what they did do was give me a code/voucher for returning ANYTIME IN THE FUTURE for 3 days, for the two of us for two parks, no blackouts, no expiry date, but the three days would have to be taken together (not three separate trips). Since that's about 600 US$ of tickets, that's way more than I even paid for the airmiles original tickets, I think I am good.Oh and the Harry Potter stuff at Universal??? AMAZING!!! My son was over the moon, we had a ball in Diagon Alley, especially with early entry, and then baked in Hogsmeade, lol. Definitely going back!

Might not have been what you were hoping to get but IMHO that's A-MAZ-ING!! That's a great exchange for your hard earned miles. I sooo agree, Harry Land is spectacular, the theming is unlike anything I've ever seen, just felt like being in the movies!!!

I just looked at my L&G for Rexall, expecting to be disappointed, again and this time I have a spend $25 get 50AM for next week. It's back. This is something I can do. DS has spend $40 get 40AM and I have a $10GC that's good till Mar 7. I'll use that on his account.Now if only they would send out an email coupon like the good old days.

Once again, all of the same offers - how many pairs of tweezers does one family need? And a little TMI on this one but it's been a very long time since we've needed any type of feminine hygiene products and both cards have had THREE separate offers for months now. I did get a threshold spend .. $60 gets 60, that ain't happening!

Went to Rexall today and tried to use the $5 off email coupon and the $10 off “giftcard” they give together, and for the first time ever, they both wouldn’t work together. Cashier even tried twice. Still got my 100 miles though.

In one store in our city you can't use any other coupons AT ALL if you use the survey coupon, it seems to negate everything else, hope this isn't spreading to the chain!

Hubby's fires never really got put out so no Blue Friday shopping again for the Duck ... I'm wondering if we'll ever get to play that game!! BUT i did hit a Rexall & bought shampoo - on sale for $3.99, used a coupon for $1 and LnG offer for 4 miles plus 2 bags of cheesies - spent just a tad over 5 and got 6 AM Went down the escalator to Metro & bought some yeast - $5.49 loaded offer of 3 AM. That's 2 swipes towards my 15 done now!

I got this same email and I can't wait to try on Monday to win some tickets. We will have to be quick and maybe we can both win. I am out between 11 & 1 at a cooking class so I will either have to run home quick afterwards or try using the data plan on my phone and hope it is quick.

 

[bababear_50]

So I am changing up my airmiles/rewards collecting ,,,,my sons are taking over the spend/shop for groceries.
While this is nice as they are paying,,,, it does limit my airmiles shops as they prefer No Frills,Food Basics,and Real Canadian Superstore..
I will still be getting non food items we need and occasionally shop Blue Friday if I see a good deal.
Shell is still a airmiles shop for me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,....................
So my hope is that Shell and Rexall can up their games....please.
Hugs
Mel

I placed my Universal tickets order on Dec17th, got them in less than a week. I was pleasantly surprised, so wrapped them up for the big reveal Xmas morning.

I received that e-mail as well. Marked on my calendar so I'll be ready to go at 10 minutes to the hour! A friend of mine is a big Michael Buble fan so I'm hoping I can give her an early surprise birthday present (her birthday is not until November).

I saw somewhere in the fine print that the Air Miles collector must collect the tickets and SHOW ID! What it does not say is if you are picking up the tickets on the night of the actual event, or if you are picking them up early. I suspect everyone who manages to be one of the 1st 50 collectors will have to pick up the tickets at the concert.

Hey Silvermist, were your Universal tickets the buy 2 get 2 days promo tickets or regular tickets? If they were the B2G2 days free tickets, do you recall if the tickets actually said something like "2 days free" or "promo" on the tickets? Or maybe just 4 day tickets?

I only just found this thread a few weeks ago. I wasn't seriously collecting Airmiles until I booked our Disney Cruise for next February. Now I need Airmiles so I can possibly use them to stay in a hotel a few days before the cruise and go to WDW as well - my DS(10) is really looking forward to seeing WDW, we did Disney Land last year, now he has the bug.
Did my Blue Friday Shop yesterday and spent $166.17 and got 458 Airmiles. Then there was a one day special at Manitoba Liquor Marts, spend $60 get 30 bonus miles, so convinced DH to buy his beer there plus some wine for me for the summer. One of the wines he bought had 7 bonus air miles, so we got about 41 airmiles for that too.
Thanks for this thread!

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

One day this week as I was checking my totals, a co-worker was at my desk and literally freaked out at how many air miles I had LOL

"How the heck do you have so.many.miles?"

I always tell people that it's quite easy to do, but kinda complicated to explain. You have to be very strategic and disciplined at finding the bonuses and the promotions and utilizing the partners correctly. They always say "Oh, sounds like too much work". Then they go on to tell me they only have 1,726 miles and have been collecting for 5 years LOL

I got the 2 Park - Buy 2 get 2 days promo tickets.
The front of the ticket says "Multi-Day Ticket". The back of the ticket says "2-Park 4-Day PTP Promo Adult SC". Ticket expires 6 days from first use. Expires 05/31/19.
Hope this helps!
