Airmiles Armchair Chatter

I shopped at Sobey's today as well but some how messed it up even though I was adding prices with a caculator. I thought I would spend $128 and get 216 miles. I ended up with 191. Thankfully the earn 200 get 100 Onyx offer goes until Sept 30th. Tomorrow my husband will get gas which will add another 5. I'll grab something we can use that has at least 4 miles on it at Metro tomorrow.

If your DH can buy something for $10 at Shell that will get you 11 miles. Almost everything in the store counts. I usually do lottery. Yesterday I bought $12 in scratch tickets and got 11 miles.....I did it for my DD's card...she got the earn 1 mile get 50 bonus offer so there was no way I was going to let that one go.

I name my vehicles and since the caravan is black I was thinking of calling it Jack as in Jack Skellington...my current vehicle is Pontiac Montana which we called the Hannah Montana....I can't wait to pick it up on Wednesday!!!!

Other people name their vehicles! YAY! I always thought I was kind of weird for doing it, but I'm not alone. We have a Percy, a Maggie, and a Sunny.

you all know that if our appliances have names then it makes perfect sense that our cars do too! We've had, Rosie (red Geo Metro), The putter (reliant wagon), which became the Swamp mobile after hubby tried to catch his coffee while driving around a bend (oopsie!), Smelly car (huge beast I inherited from my smoking nana), Fred (our last Honda fit) and now Frederick, our much more sophisticated Honda fit

off topic but with a slight connection to airmiles. We went to the Toronto zoo yesterday with our daughter (Birt's mom) and her wife to do a wild experience with the hippos and I cashed in some miles to get our tickets into the zoo.
this is our daughter as she said "best day of my life, and sorry that includes our wedding"

and proof that the hubby and I were there too

284 AM at Sobeys today, which gets me my earn 200 get 100 Onyx offer! Also goes towards my weekly spend $450 get 50 on my BMO MC and my targeted sobeys offer of spend $400 get 160 that goes to Oct 13. Whew! So many bonus offers to track!

Just curious, is your $450 for 50 AMs on your BMO card a personalized offer?

Looks like you were all having a wonderful time! Should have brought Birt along to see his “cousins”!!

Yup, Airmiles, Mastercard and AMEX will often send out personalized offers and while they will send a bunch out at once, not everyone will get them. If you do get one it will rarely be the same as anyone else's, heck, even if you have more than one card in your family the offers won't be the same.

The offers do seem to be based on how much you have (or haven't spent/earned) in the passed few months though ... i got all excited when i got one of these from Mastercard several months ago that would be good only at Rona or Lowes, but only if i shopped online AND only if i spent more than $1000.00 in a 2 week period. Yeah, that was only because we bought a stove the week before

It was discussed but since it was raining and Birt doesn't like to get wet, we decided he could stay home and do house-hippos things (AKA nap!)

Went to Sobeys and their chicken, pork and steak are on sale!! Great! No need to buy the HBC giftcard for the 60 AM. I spent $135 and got 226 AM. Surprisingly the threshold LnG in the App stacked with the 125 AM offer this weekend. I am doing my happy dance now!

Those offers are separate and should always stack. One is a public offer the other personal.

Yes it is my “tip for the week” this week on my MasterCard.

Yes, we did end up at Shell but for gas instead.

I'm not sure what the heck happened to my math the other day, but this morning (when I added the receipts to my tracking spreadsheet) it turned out I earned more than enough for my husband's card. The receipt showed 171 miles. Plus Customer Service added another 40 miles. So that was 211 right there! He didn't need more. Ah well. He filled up his gas tank (5 miles) and my gas tank (another 5 miles) so ended up with 221 in the end.

That earn 1 mile get bonus miles our daughters received was an awesome offer! The last time we put miles on her card was back in April (Mega Miles) and then the bonus that came through in June. Five months later Air Miles was probably wondering how to get her to use her card again.

I name mine too...I currently have a blue Impala named " Izzy " I have also had a Beatsy and Molly. The hubs names his vehicles as well...the new Truck Jolene. His other one was Angie lol funny how we do that!!!!!

I just checked my monthly total for Am this month. Since I have finally gotten back into the grove of collecting again after such a busy first half of the year. Once my miles from the weekend are put into my card...I should just over 1000 Am this month. Not too shabby for only having Safeway, Shell and survey rewards. Here is to hoping that October is a good month too. I'm creeping closer to onyx finally. I should be able to do it by the end on Oct mid November. I have been onyx for the last 3 years for sure...so I don't want to not be onyx this year.

I found a coupon at Sobeys this morning for $5 off TWO boxes of Maple leaf Prime Frozen Chicken so I grabbed a couple because of your post above @bababear_50 wishing it will be a Blue Friday item. You never know! Keep your eyes open for it, it looks like this

I just saw these coupons and got a few for myself and 8 extras if anyone wants me to mail some out.

So looks like I’ve got to book a pricey airline ticket....ticket only no package. I’m not seeing any options for extra Airmiles. I think it will be just Amex Miles. Anyone know a way to get extra miles that I’m missing? Redtag is a no and so is Expedia.

Are they Sobeys specific ?

No, they are not. I just happened to get them in a Sobeys.
