Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Well once again I am a liar. I went to Sobeys even after I said I wasn't going. I decided that I would go and just get a couple of things. As usual I got there and ended up getting most of my weekly groceries and a couple of the BF deals. Turned out better than I planned....I spent $105 and earned 340 miles. Plus the gift card that I thought had $100 on it actually had $150. :thumbsup2
 
I went to Sobeys before work. School is doing first aid training for 35 students. We need snacks so I got the Lays assorted bags. Their size is bigger than the Halloween one’s. Then I got pasta and pasta sauce as donation to school’s pasta fundraising lunch. Spent $135 in total and got 435 AM. 500 AM more to get DD to Onyx!
 

Decided not to do Blue Friday today, the only thing I could see getting was bacon and it's cheaper elsewhere for bigger packs. So I went to FreshCo for groceries instead. I guess I'll wait for the next big promo, at least I'm already at Onyx this year. Wish I could get some more miles to put towards a trip, but also need to stick to budget. Glad some of you were able to do well.

Sticking to one's budget is the most important part of Airmiles hunting. The Airmiles don't mean anything if you can't afford to use them down the road. Bravo to you for knowing your limit and playing within it.

I did Blue Friday at Sobeys - spent $198 and got 500 air miles even. They were out of the bacon so I got a rain check and made sure they showed the air miles on it as well. When I was there 3 more people were lined up behind me for the bacon rain checks as well. I bought some of the frozen meals since one of the flavours is my favourite so I buy them when I get a bonus on them. Also got the rice cakes and chips as I have a few get togethers in the next couple of weeks where somebody will need to bring the snacks so I might as well buy something I like and I earn the miles. Bought the perogies, coffee pods, raisin bread and the rest was my regular grocery shopping. Afterwards I thought oh I should have used my cash miles to pay for my groceries but I said no and then went oh what a silly girl you have all these miles and you could have used them. I don't have anything that I am saving for right now so have lots of miles.
 
Donated 35 boxes of cereal to the Food Bank
=cost $104.65
got back 805 airmiles=$85.00 in cash airmiles
Not bad for someone who said they were out this Blue Friday!!
Thanks Vodden Foodland for packaging them all up for me.

From what I have learned over the years of donating, And not a motivation to do, but a hidden help. Bring them your receipt and you should get a tax receipt for the amount donated.
 
I didnt think I could find enough for $100, but ended up at 110 for 440am, plus as you all should have gotten as well, 5c off per litre at shell. Well we have a minivan that can take 85litres, so save another 4 bucks. I will take it. Plus paid it all with some of the GC from the last promo.
 
Has anyone had any luck doing the spend $50 get $100 AM at Rexall twice today? My cashier advised that AM has changed their policy and you can only do one bonus offer per day. So I put back my second order and will stop by in the morning...thank goodness Rexall is right around the corner from us.
 
So I guess that means their "One reward per customer, per transaction, per day" means only 1 time per day. Too many per's for this brain to wrap my head around the legalese.

Boo:(

I wasn't going to take a chance and spend another $50 and NOT get the AM so I will just go back in the morning since we live so close...
 
When you say you authorized $100, how was this attached? To a CC or a Shell GC? If I can attach a Shell GC to it, that would be great.
I was using a credit card, so it preauthorized a certain amount, but you only get charged how much you actually spend. I didn’t check if there was an option to attach a GC.
No but I hope I get it!! I have trained my husband well to always fill up at Shell. I don’t drive LOL.
It looks like the offer isn’t targeted, so your husband would just need to download the app and link your AM card
 
Decided to skip blue Friday today, since I’d only be getting 5 boxes of Cheerios, and those would last us wayyyy too long anyways.

And I’m glad I held off on making my Etsy purchase earlier this week. Just got 3x and 10x bonus miles! Wasn’t a huge dollar amount, but I’m expecting to get 112 miles

Hi Hon
You might consider waiting till Tuesday just incase another coupon comes out,,,,see Jacqueline's post above .
Maybe a double dip?

I need more sleep! I'm sorry I posted in haste and misread the fine print on the offer in the flyer! I'm sorry if I misled anyone with my errors

I still have the $100 gift card for Etsy that I won from some Airmiles promo last year and I can't decide what to spend it on. Question for you, if i want to buy things from different stores will I need to do a bunch of separate transactions OR is it like Amazon and i just keep adding stuff to my basket and pay once? I've never bought anything thru Etsy and I'm super confused !!
 
@Donald - my hero

It's all the "Per's" in this particular offer that are of concern. In particular the last "per day" that I think caused the cashier to put the brakes on additional transactions. Another way of interpreting the per is "One reward for each customer for each transaction for each day". The each day is different from all other terms and conditions. It's sufficiently vague to allow for individual interpretation unless you have a law degree and can argue the point otherwise. At $50 it's not worth risking trying it to see what happens.
