Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Donald - my hero]

Okay Airmilesshops experts, I have a question for you. I just completed a purchase from Roxy to use as one of my qualifying purchases for the Christmas in July promotion. I made the order tonight at 9:15 EST and when I checked my email receipt, it says that the order was placed on July 29, 2019. I thought this was a little weird so I scrolled down to check the contact address for Roxy and they are in California so that's probably why the order date is listed as July 29 (i.e. 9:15 EST would be 12:15 AM PST). Strangely enough, on the order summary page on their website, there is no date mentioned. I was going to take a screenshot of that page to 'prove' that I purchased the item on the 28th but no such luck. Anyone ever encountered something like this? I'm just worried that the purchase is not going to count as part of the Christmas in July promotion considering that the order date is documented as July 29th. Lesson learned to not leave purchases until the last minute .

ETA: Well, I'm even more confused now because I screwed up and realized that the west coast is three hours behind us, not three hours ahead so there goes that theory as to why the order was listed as being placed on July 29th. Any idea what might be going on here?

Absolutely no idea! The only thing i can suggest is if you need to dispute this with AM later is that the date on your EMAIL will be July 28th even if the invoice says July 29th. That would be easy to show if they ask for proof, right?

You are a genius Donald!! I don’t know why I didn’t think of that . I guess I will see what happens when they eventually start processing the miles for the promotion. Thanks again for the suggestion!!!

On August 9, 2018 we started to see emails popping up about the Pack to School promotion. Crossing fingers and toes that they do this one again, AND that it is the same terms as last year's (i.e., three $20 purchases for 1,000 miles).

I seem to remember having to fight for my AM on that one... ugh I hate the airmileshop promos. I guess we'll see I'm also leaving Aug 24 for Disney so it will depend on timing, I hate to order something that would be delivered while I'm away.

It would be great if they did it again....there are several things that I need. However, with Christmas in July just happening I would be surprised if there was another bonus promo so soon. My fingers will be crossed though, it would be a good one to do on my DD's account. She's getting close to having enough miles for a WDW ticket and she wants to go with a friend in October.

I never did do a 3rd Christmas in July yesterday. I debated about it since I would give out the gift card at Christmas but it would literally mean borrowing money as we went overdrawn this pay cheque.

Ah well. Bring on a Blue Friday with the gift cards!

No Rexall L&G targeted spend for me - hopefully this means there’s a bonus coupon/offer for the long weekend.

I got my three shops in for the Christmas in July late last night - just under the wire in typical Pumpkin fashion. I knew what I was wanting...so it was just actually going online and purchasing them. Hopefully my one order a Reitman's will count. I was busy talking to my Mom on the phone ( as the dd has just told them they were going to be great grandparents ) and she just wouldn't get off the phone lol. The subtotal was just over 53.00 but that included shipping. Of course I didn't realize that until after I had hit the confirm button. Oh well....it's not like I wasn't needing the 2 items I ordered. Fingers crossed the subtotal can include shipping.

I'm gonna call this a pretty solid "highly doubt it" It's not likely they'll start another promo until the current one has posted -- there is usually about a 2 week lull between the one posting and the next starting. They also had two overlapping back to school promos that caused them no end of headaches since the terms were different and the phrasing was almost identical "BACK to school and PACK to school" so not sure if/how/what they will offer this year (if anything) I'm not calling it with any confidence, just going by history of the promos. If they do have it and it has the same lower threshold I *might* be convinced to attempt it.

Side note, I only used the main card and my secondary account got a "please shop again" begging offer -- a $20 transaction will net me 25 AM I'm thinking I can find sumtin!

Well, if they don't have that promo, it's going to screw up my whole earning strategy for the year! Grrr

OMG This is totally AWESOMESAUCE! I was hoping this would pop up, was even planning on coming in to question that because there's no threshold spend in either of my card's offers this week. I just haven't had the time to do much today to investigate -- I'm up to SIX safe foods now and decided to attempt yogurt in my Instant Pot so I can have something easy to grab when the hangry sets in without needing to cook (or eat cold steak!)

I'll keep my eyes open for the other offer that I'm fairly confident will appear before Wednesday. Question for you, where did that coupon come from?Once i track down the other I'll put together a step-by-step post explaining how to use these to turn $50 into at LEAST 200 miles -- adding in LnG offers and flyer offers can increase this!

***ETA I should have actually read your post before i got all excited .. I'll check my offers under my account. Remember gang, this might show up in only of your accounts, last time it was in my smaller account but not that one that was sitting close to 10,000 but today it's in BOTH

 

[bababear_50]

Ever the optimistic person here
I am going to go with a Back To School Promo within the month of Aug(guessing Aug 7-9) ,,no other promos are currently offered on Airmiles website (Out Of The Blue is finished,,Christmas in July is finished,,Apple 15x is finished Aug 1)......I'm going to go with a positive yes,,,lol,lol
Airmiles is under a lot of pressure from their online sponsors to produce traffic.
