I have a decent threshold for Sobey's this week too 50AM/$100 spend, lowest with most miles I've seen I think. Last week it was 30AM/$110. And I'll be going all out on the coke deals - 50AM/3 cases or 30 for the slim cases - Coke zero cherry and vanilla showed up at Loblaws this week and I almost lost my mind, it's been a year I think since they were in Canada. I bought 3 yesterday, but refrained so I could wait for airmiles. And lo, there's an airmiles deal! I'll be stocking up

Mine is 50AM/$100 as well plus I have the “miss you” email offer for 75AM/$100 so not too bad if I spend $100.

Yes but it all went to various people and places. Food banks, baseball teams, hockey teams. And my vodka team. hmmm. Need another deal soon

I'm not sure what a vodka team is but that is one team I would definitely be on!

I think I’m going to do my shopping at... Walmart this week!

Their app is so awesome cause you can check pricing on EVERY grocery item!

My AM for Blue Friday posted so I tried to book my one way flight, but it keeps giving me a system error. Very annoying! Wait times are long so I will try tomorrow in case I do have to call. I was looking forward to getting at least one way taken care of. Ah well, tomorrow I guess.

So today I decided to take the plunge and I ordered myself a food processor. I wanted it for a while and I finally decided to just go ahead the order it.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

So, I got my Lawton's deals wrong. The $35/95 miles is for NEXT week. Tomorrow they are having a Blue Friday! Not much in there I would buy though. More effing chips! ugh!

Hit up Urban Fresh at 7:45, grabbed some maple strudels $3.49 and 5 AM, one more swipe towards my 15. Forgot Rexall flyer ended yesterday so couldn't get anything there.

 

[Days In the Sun]

I just started the "fast-track" swipes today, did 2, Metro and Sobeys. I only have three days left to do this so was going to repeat tomorrow leaving one left for Saturday or Sunday (I only have to do 5 thankfully).

So I'm guessing it's likely I'll have to chase the miles in 120+ days, since Sobeys will all post to my account dated March 13?? I don't actually have too many options. Yesterday I walked all of Staples to see if they had any in-store offers. Not one airmile. I could do a Shell instore offer but I'm trying not to buy things I don't really use or need.

BTW, at Sobeys the minimum spend was $5 to earn any in-store offer since all the offers you needed to buy at least two (again, walked the whole store). I went in because of the Kellogg's $2.99 buy three get 20am but after seeing the size of the boxes decided on my "go-to" Rudolph's Rye bread on for $2.49, buy 2 earn 10 airmiles instead (on until March 27).

Well, I finished the AM online bonus shop today. I was able to place orders at Laura, amazon and Etsy. That is 3 different departments, all over 50.00. I took pictures of my finished transactions, and will have my email receipts as well. Hopefully I don't have chase down that bonus miles. I was going to be placing orders online anyways...so I might as well get bonus AM for the items I wanted. Crossing my fingers they post correctly...and I'll set a reminder on my phone for the date of when I should be seeing the reward for that as well.

My sons decided to shop at Sobeys!!!!
Total spend $102.28
75 airmiles for the *we miss You* promo
100 airmiles for the coke deal
5 base airmiles.
5 airmiles for a box of Oatmeal *My Offers*

Thanks for sharing! A lot of us got that 'year in review' email in December/January, and I remember it mentioned anniversaries--it's great to know that's leading somewhere!

It's the date of the transaction that matter NOT when it posts to you account so you'll be fine! The only fine print is that you can only shop at one partner PER day to have it count so if you went to Sobey's and divided your order into 5 transactions only one of those would actually count towards the promo.

That was me last week in Sobey's Urban Fresh, walked up and down every single row, TWICE and refused to spend money on things i did want or need. Now today? Did i need 4 maple strudels, no but DANG i wanted them and it was well past my 1:1 ratio.

Shell .. how about gift cards? We're planning on buying a bunch of the Ultimate Dining cards .. smallest amount possible, several different days. We will use them anyway so why not earn miles?? We have to do 15 and it's proving to be a bit of a challenge

GUYS! Just found out Galaxy’s Edge opens at WDW on August 29. That means just like I hoped we will get to see it onour November trip! I’m so excited!

It opens end of May at DLR!

 

[alohamom]

EDITED-never mind, I found it right here on the Dis LOL

Where did you find this @osully? I am thinking about it and this could be a game changer

 

[alohamom]

I know that the DLR opening was leaked yesterday, was this announced at the big Disney shareholder thing today?

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

They are only opening the Smuggler's Run (Falcon) attraction at the beginning, phasing in the Rise of the Resistance attraction later (likely fall). There will be no fast passes for the ride. This is for both DL and WDW.

It's all over the Internet as of yesterday. It's official!
