Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[mab2012]

I don't see anything as of today from Rexall. I'll check tomorrow again and if it's not there I'll swing by the store.

I went in today and bought a $50 Netflix gift card. No miles showing on the receipt, and there was no reason to believe my account was unavailable - they just didn't credit. I suppose I'll have to go back too. What a pain.

I actually asked the cashier if they were closing the store as some of the shelves were bare. She said "no why what have you heard".

That is weird because my store in Ajax has bare shelves as well but there are little signs that say - updating for your future enjoyment so we are figuring that they are dropping certain products. They don't seem to have any of our new favourite pasta sauce and there are big spaces on those shelves as well as shelves in other departments.
Although my brother has gotten some good deals on coffee pods because I guess they are dropping that brand.
I keep hoping to meet up with the store Manager so I can ask her what is going on in the store. She is an avid air miles collector and has told me about some of the deals in the past.

Have an awesome time at the Movies Hon!
I've heard it is supposed to be an excellent movie.

Thanks, but I'm not planning on seeing "the End" for months yet .. I can't deal with big crowds that something like this will create

Last night i took myself to see Captain Marvel so I'll be ready -- also need to rewatch a few of the key movies. Hubby is beyond busy right now and I figured i would just be watching TV so I cashed in some survey points for a Cineplex gift card, grabbed a courtesy ticket and off i went! He has no interest in the whole superhero concept but I can't get enough of it

Don't forget to add those movie tickets to Disney Rewards and collect those Gift Cards for your next trip to the world when.... the world returns to normal.

No kidding! NO DRINKS allowed anymore when the danged things are clocking in at 3 hours!

I'll be seeing this the same way i saw Infinity Wars, on my own, in a VIP theatre, eating poutine & popcorn with a milkshake

 

[Aladora]

I wish we had VIP theatres out here! We’ve got tickets for Sunday afternoon at one of the recliner theatres and I can’t wait!

 

[hdrolfe]

I got tickets for Saturday. Can't wait! No drink for me, and I'll probably still need a bathroom break, 3 hours is a long time! My son can have a drink and still be ok.

 

[osully]

LOL I saw the movie last night and definitely did not allow myself to drink anything starting an hour beforehand!

 

[pigletto]

We have tickets for tonight and no drinks for me after 4! We bought our tickets weeks ago and we are right in the middle of the row we selected, so I would have to bug quite a few people to get up in the middle of the movie. Of course now that I know I shouldn’t have anything to drink I’m going to want one .

Isn't that the way it always works though! (grin)

I'm reading this as I am watching the morning news. There is an app you can download which will tell you the best time to make a run for the washroom and not miss anything too important. I didn't notice what it's called but I'm sure one of you die hard app users can find it.

On a side note: DH just came downstairs from his office and announced that Ottawa flooding has made the news big time. He was speaking with a co-worker in Finland and she said the Ottawa area flooding made their local news. Who knew. We're famous.

 

[hdrolfe]

I'm going to the theatre with reclining seats, so at least it's easy to sneak out of the row if necessary They updated Fortnite with an Endgame mode so kiddo HAD to try it this morning, leading to a full on blow out yelling match when I said it was time to leave, and I was still 30 minutes late for work. This after he called me yesterday to come get him at school, at 3, with school ending at 3:40, basically because he was having some tummy troubles. I swear... any way! Oh, and I stopped at Timmies and they were out of like all the donuts I like. I think it's going to be a long day. With maybe pizza for supper.

It's Friday, I have some groceries to do, including pet food at Sobeys that looks like it has 50 AM per bag and I need one for cats and one for dogs. the food also has coupons on checkout 51, and I may have received coupons in my sample source, need to check that before I head to the store. Got another spend $25 get 50 AM for Rexall next week so I will be waiting until Monday to do that.

Thanks, Mel! There is 13 of us (DH's family) and we are going to The Grand at Moon Palace Cancun!

Thank goodness there aren't any "great" air miles offers next week. I leave for Cancun on Sunday morning (finally!). I got a $25 gift card for Administrative Professionals Day for Sobeys which will come in handy buying all my last-minute first aid things for the trip.

Have a wonderful time! Soak up that sun. Maybe by the time you get back, it will have stopped with the April showers to herald the May flowers!

I watched our local news this morning and the app is called runpee. They had a great discussion about it on the early news and they thought it was quite funny.

Have fun!!!! Enjoy the warm weather there! We leave May 12 - which is Mother's Day. I can't think of any better way to spend Mother's Day than by begining our trip by getting on a plane and landing somewhere that has sun, clean sand, warm water, palm trees and drinks served to me!!!!!!

Now for all of you that have those awesome theatres with reclining comfy seats and picking where you can choose to sit...I totally ENVY you!!!!!!!!!! We have a small theater that is OLD. We don't have those nice comfy seats, or get to pick where we sit. The concession is a bottle neck of people shoving and pushing to get to their theatre in time for the show to start. It is total chaos. Customers actually stated and facebook group and got cineplex ( the only company that is in our small city ) to join. People flooded their customer service center with phone calls complaining at the state of our ONE and ONLY theatre here...that they needed to do something about it...because they are building and renovating so many cities and ours was still the same as 25 years ago. We made enough noise for them that they actually sent head honchos out to check it out. We know there are renovations in the works, and a liquor license has been applied for.

But I think for a 3 hr movie...we might head to Edmonton to see it. I don't think I could sit for 3 hrs in our dinky little theatre seats. I'm tall with long legs...and after 2 hours I can hardly sit in those seats anymore.

We are a huge superhero movie watching family. This Momma like Thor the best . I can't wait to see it...but think we might need to make a weekend trip to Edmonton to see it.

 

[Spotthecat]

Saw Endgame last night, awesome! And I didn't have to pee, though I didn't chug as much as normal, lol. Left DH and the kids at home, lol, wanted to watch this one alone. Me and my kleenex!

We convert to APs as well. For us, the more the ticket is worth the better as the less out of pocket. Also, airmiles never seems to discount the airmiles on Canadian tickets to the same amount Disney does. For example, if Disney discounts 20%, airmiles has the tickets at 15% less airmiles than regular tickets.

I'll try to remember to check all our tickets and post next week. We are taking 5 and 7 day Canadian tickets from this year as well as 7day flex with us. There are quite a few people on this thread going to Disney in May I believe, I'm sure you'll see some posts on their values.

That would be great to know. I'll be looking forward to seeing the $ amounts!
