Sobeys Atlantic flyer isn't great. Miles on Oreo cookies, which I cannot bring into my house right now! Diet is going too well!

Although there is going to be a Lawton's offer for $35 Our Compliments products, get 95 miles, so that is good news!

 

[ottawamom]

I wholeheartedly agree with ilovetotravel1977, there are no great AM deals (so far) out there this week, in Ontario either. A few things if you happen to need them:

Sobeys - Kellogs cereal 2.99 (2) +20AM, Easter Oreo eggs? spend $15 get 50AM
Fooodland - nothing to note. There are a few AM offers but they are too expensive
Metro - same as Foodland

Oh oh, the Oreos are back? My dog found a package of the vanilla ones last night and polished them off while I was putting kiddo to bed. Maybe I need to buy more?

 

[ottawamom]

You're lucky it was the vanilla ones. My dog got into a Toblerone bar one boxing day. Very expensive trip to the vet.

Back from another trip to Rexall because I am going to get it right. I used DS card this time and I'm happy to report the email stacked with the L&G.

Ugh, it is never a good sign when the Thrifty's flyer does not have the "Earn up to XXXX miles in this flyer!" on the cover and an even worse sign when the first AM promo is on page 4.

Did you know that ONE Oreo The Most Stuf has 110 calories? I had two yesterday before I looked it up!!!!!!!!

Ack! Good thing I stay away from buying cookies! I'm more of a salt person anyways...CHIPS are my nemesis! Or those dang cheese balls in the plastic container at Costco.

I just uploaded mine and DH's My Offers from Sobeys for this week. I think they are seeing we aren't spending as much as Sobeys lately.

My spend threshold offer is $175, get 70 miles.

DH's is $100, get 75 miles! Like, WHAT? I'll do this no problem! LOL And we have pretty much the same targeted offers as well. It's usually $100 / 30 miles!

So between this and the Lawton's $35 / 95 miles offer, it should end up a half decent week for me.

Sobey's wants me to spend $200 for 75 miles. It went up. I never spend more than $100-$110 so I don't know why it went up so much! That will never happen.

I just have to say...the lack of AM since the begining of the year has been dismal to say the least ( do you hear me AM ? ) The hubby and I are working on getting our AM card applied to one of their accounts where one of their main distributors give AM!!!!! So I'm crossing my fingers we might be able collect alot of miles through his work ( he is the Manger and Estimator of the Electrical, IT, plumbing and mechanical divisions ) So we are hoping to get a bundle of miles through the supplier.

For both of our cards the threshold is $175 .. we have NEVER spent anywhere close to even $100 so i have no idea where they got this number from??!!??!! You'd think they could see that it's been forever since we used the main card (probably ice cream run in the summer) and offer a much smaller threshold to entice us to come back. Metro screams "come back, come back, PLEEEAASE come back" to the secondary card that's only used during the big promos with things like spend $5 get 5, buy any produce get 7, buy any type of cereal, any make, size, price and get 5 ...

My Sobeys spend offer got better - spend $100 get 50 whereas last week it was spend $100 get 30. I can do that for sure. Today I am going to go to Sobeys for one of my swipe miles - I need milk and eggs so I am sure that I can spend $20 today or even check out one of my targeted offers but I only buy some items when they are are sale so having to buy 2 now to get 7 air miles isn't ideal. Yesterday I did 2 swipes - Rexall and Shell for lottery tickets. I think I have done 6 of my 15 swipes so far.

 

[ottawamom]

Mine's really high too. Why would I bother spending all that when I have a spend $75 get 50AM (we miss you promotion).

I was glad he left the double stuffed! Those are my favourite

Back from Rexall, I spent $30ish for a bonus 50AM. I didn't want to go up to $50 and risk having both my LnG and the coupon not work together. I'm happy with that for now.

I think it will be a FreshCo, Food Basics week for groceries for me. Gotta tighten the wallet to afford the EMM this summer trip, finally read up more on the events at MK and HS, and yeah I want to do that! I had booked a PPO BOG and it's the same day as EMM, I think it'd get more out of the event.

I thought I saw on the sign it’s valid until March 27. Sadly my store does not have any of the Oreo Easter stuff or I would gladly do this one again.(bought a few bags of cookies when it first started)

I'd love to know when and if Mega Miles is going to happen. I have a feeling I am going to be away and miss it's start date...
PS
I tried Chat---my response from Airmiles Chat
"MICHAEL Great. Yes, our annual promotion called Mega Miles will be announced soon. We just don't know a date yet. Stay tuned to our website and your email for more."
At least I know they plan on having a promotion.

I asked on RFD and the head honcho on that thread wasn't sure. It is the only promo that moves around a bit in the "Spring".

ETA- I just posted on FB and asked on the AM's site. I'll let you know what they say if they answer.And here it is...….

It's great to hear that you are anxious to start taking part in our Mega Miles promotion this year. At this time we have not been given dates as to when this promotion will be returning. For now we recommend that you visit our site periodically and we're sure you'll see it when it returns.

Looking at my notes & it appears that Mega Miles is a moving target:
2015 - stupid promo that ran in late May and only the first 60,000 earned the big bonus with the rest earning varying amounts, we got FIVE!
2016 - ?? not sure i didn't do a separate thread and this one is proving a tad hard to search
2017 - May 1st - 31st
2018 - March 8th - April 12th

Wow, we were much quieter at the beginning of this thread! I only had to scan in 20 pages to get from the start date (Aug 28, 2015) to the *possible* mention of 2016's Mega Miles. Looks like it was a very short offer -- maybe 2 weeks with the big bonus being 100 miles It's not uncommon for us to go thru at least 10 pages during a Blue Friday week now!! And @mort1331 in case you're wondering, your Poweraid Raid took place April 2016 after @ottawamom spied the offer : 3/$5 buy 3 get 50 AM. You spent $450 on what i can only assume was a truck load of that sugary drink and managed to snag over 8,000 miles

***ETA, as soon as anyone gets a head's up make sure you mention it & tag me so i can start a thread to keep us organized!
