Airmiles Armchair Chatter

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 went back to the store today and the manager gave me the 20 AM as a goodwill gesture.

Those who get vitamins at Rexall, do you find that they are a resonable price? Compared to shoppers, or superstore. I would like to take advantage of the spend $70/100 but I don't want to overspend for miles.

I'm so sorry I let this slide past without answering!

We only buy our vitamins at Rexall BUT only when there is a sale on to let us get lots of miles. At least once a month they will be on BOGO --- sometimes it's get one free or get one 50% off PLUS spend a certain amount and get a bunch of miles. I don't think they cost any more or less that at Shoppers if i buy them on sale but can't speak to superstore, don't have one anywhere close.

I received the tickets for my son and daughter in law for the Black Glass dinner in the cellar at Trius Winery yesterday.
Nice add on for son's May birthday.
Maybe I can convince him to do a few gardening chores for me??
lol
Happy weekend everyone

PS headed to Rexall later today to stockpile laundry detergent.

Glad you got it sorted out! I also went back to the store yesterday with my receipt and a copy of the flyer offer. The cashier credited my points with no issues after reviewing the coupon, and was very pleasant about it. So just a few minutes of my time to get it corrected in the end.

Just booked a 1 night hotel stay through the Travel Hub and happy to report they are giving 75AM bonus for stays through Dec 2019 right now! Got 195AM for a 1 night stay (cost around $120 with taxes) - so $20 back right away in AM cash!

The travel hub is likely going to be our biggest airmiles earner this year, we love it. DH travels to Toronto about once a month, and the company doesn’t care where he stays as long as it is reasonable. Last month he found a hotel close to work, decent price, and gave us 1190 AM for 3 nights!

Well I don't get to see Endgame. My son changed his mind last minute and I don't even get a refund of the tickets. I'm really disappointed maybe I will get to see it someday.

Just curious if anyone has attempted to upgrade either the 5 or 7 day base flexible date WDW tickets to an AP? We are thinking we might do this for our November trip...at first I was just thinking about getting the 7 day ticket because it says it expires 14 days after first use so we could make it work for our pre-Christmas WDW/DCL/WDW trip but now I am thinking it might be worth it to upgrade to an AP so we could maybe extend our trip by a few days...Would love to hear from anyone that has upgraded...

@hdrolfe Can you drive to the theatre and see if you can get a refund? I’m sure the theatre is at capacity for this movie and even someone trying to get tickets last minute might want to buy them off you. So disappointed he changed his mind!

I could only get a refund up to when the movie started and he changed his mind at the last minute. We spent almost 30 minutes "discussing" going or not, and by then it was too late to get there and exchange or get a refund. Thanks for the thought though, I'm really disappointed. I was looking forward to some family time, sharing my love of movies with kiddo.

Spent $180, got 109 AM for the trouble and a very stressed husband because it took so long!

That's ok. Thanks for doing so! They had a $70/100. Vitamins were BOGO 50% plus 20am on every two. So $72 spend for 148 am. Not bad

A Ha I knew you would have a back up plan. Good thinking Hon.
Part of me wants a Blue Friday to get closer to that computer I am saving for and part of me wants it to be put off till you get back.
Hopefully tookie1000 reports back.

I got our too. When I opened them I see it says "bring this ticket plus your airmiles card and ID" Does this mean I have to go? I actually got these for my daughter and her boyfriend, taking inspiration for you Mel.
Has anyone had experience with this kind of thing? Is this new?
I know a couple of years ago there were the Cirque tickets for the Ottawa region that my kids went to. I had ordered them and they went without me.
I am going to do a chat tomorrow or the next day if I have time but I thought I would ask here to see if maybe any of you might know.

 

[ottawamom]

Offers like this always tell you to bring your AM card. The ID is to make sure they are old enough to drink legally. If they were going to check a specific ID they would have asked you to tell them the name of the person using the tickets.

Soo..... my DH said that he thought he heard news about Blue Friday this week (he's the assistant Meat manager). I asked him to confirm with his manager and YES! This Friday will be Blue Friday. At least here in Southern Ontario, We live in Kitchener.
