Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Disney Addicted]

I just chatted with Brenna. She's insisting the minimum spend for the 5X Amazon.ca offer AND each daily offer during the Sweet 16 promo is $100.

That can't possibly be correct. Does anyone else know?

NOT it doesn't say that in any of the fine print I can find right now, I agree that she's mixed up with the 2 offers. Now if you do spend 100 you'll only get the mega miles coupon once not with every transaction.

Current free contest on AM site:
Includes airfare to Halifax airport, 2 nights accommodation, foodie tour with the band Metric, and tickets to their Thursday May 2nd show. Oh, and $300 on a pre-paid card for spending.

I'm not a big foodie, so the tastes would be wasted on me, and I'm not hip enough to know the band well, but I entered anyway, just in case!

A few years ago I was away early December. Caught an ONYX deal for tickets to Cirque du Soleil before we got home. Gave them to my DS to use. Maybe I should enter. I only ever win something when I can't use it.

I did even though I will be on a golf course at Disney. But wife and kid can go and visit my relatives in Nova Scotia.

I'm not sure where you found T&C's that specifically mentioned Sweet 16. I couldn't locate anything. I'm sure she was mixing it up with the MM. I explained a few times and she didn't get it.

I contacted Air Miles Canada on their Facebook page and they were telling me the same thing. I pushed it a bit and they ended up agreeing I was being quoted the MM terms & conditions. On their Facebook page they have now said the Amazon mimimum spend today is $20. I do need to place an order and figured I would do it today, but not if I had to hit $100!

The T&C for all of the promos was on the same page, denoted by * or ** in the case of the Sweet 16. so you have to look at all the little print and find the part that starts with the right notation. Of course they don't put it in paragraphs or anything... just one big blob of information! Very sneaky if you ask me.

Anyone else hoping for a Blue Friday? the last one was March 1, so I think we're due!

It'll be interesting to see the Safeway/Sobey's flyer tonight, they're usually posted on the Rebee app at 10pm YYC time.

So I had my over night in Ottawa yesterday, decided I would find a Sobeys (we don't have one) and do the offer that Mastercard sent me of spend $60 get 100 AM's up to 5 times. This Sobeys had their gift cards at customer service so I was sent there. Told the cashier that I wanted to buy 5 $60 Disney gift cards and pay for each one separately then apologized for causing extra work. She said no issues, people do it all the time.

First one went through no problem. Second, okay. Third, no issues. Fourth, still good. Fifth one triggered a fraud alert. I had to call Mastercard and have them unfreeze my card. I explained what I was doing and after answering a few questions got my card opened again, which was good as I still needed to pay for my hotel and wanted to get the airmiles for that spend as well.
I did get that fifth Disney card though so all is good. That should give me 500 AM's, well worth the ten minutes on hold waiting to speak with the fraud department I'd say.
Now to catch up on all the posts, its amazing how many there are after being away for a few days.

Me Me Me!!!!!,,although I am schedule to be out of town at a conference--I just Googled the closest Sobeys and it only 11 min from the hotel.
Now if there is frozen stuff I'm kind of out of luck.

What the heck - no Blue Friday out west this week

 

[Donald - my hero]

No Blue Friday for Ontario either but Foodland has the gift card offer yet again .. spend $150 get 150 AM

Interesting thing in the Metro flyer though ... use 95 cash miles for $10 and get 50 AM AND the Mega Miles coupon says get 25 AM when you use cash miles .. think this means we'll get 75!?!?!?!?! There is a PLU code to be entered on the coupon (MAKE sure the cashier uses the code for it to count towards MM !) so it's different than the flyer offer (i think )

That's the only thing i see on my quick glance with very weary eyes

Oh man. I love these offers as I normally max out on my card and my husband's. But this is too soon after the Sobey's one. I ended up maxing out on 3 cards with Sobeys for the MM.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

None for Atlantic either.

OK the sun is shining and that is the only positive thing I have to say. There is two inches of fresh snow on the ground, just what we want at this time of year. No Blue Friday at Sobeys and the offers they do have are pathetic. I think I'll just curl up and read a good book until Spring really arrives.

I get a morning email from my radio station and they always tack on a little joke at the end. I figured several people would appreciate today's

Oh I wish I could do this! I refused to shovel this morning. One guy didn't come to work yesterday because he already took his snow tires off. I was supposed to start walking at lunch with a friend this week, and of course now it'll be next week. Honestly! I was hoping to get some soil for my garden and plan some colder weather items, like radishes and maybe some chard. What a bother.
