Airmiles Armchair Chatter

I also got 108 miles at Shell today, so overall it's been a pretty good airmiles day!

During the Mountain of Miles I received a 10X multiplier that I used at Lowe's. 8 base and 72 miles. Lowes posted both very quickly. Today, Lowes has taken back the bonus points. From the T&C of Mountain of Miles, it looks like it should take 120 days for the bonus miles to be received and come through Air Miles, not Lowes.

Then, during the 10X Halloween this weekend past, I ordered ink & paper from Staples Staples posted both the base and bonus miles. My notes say the bonus miles should take 75 days to be posted. I wonder if those are going to be clawed back as well.

I think something else is going on with Lowes. Based on your post, I checked my account. I did one mountain of miles, Amazon, base and Amazon bonus posted right away, still waiting for 20x mountain bonus. Lowes, I shopped in-store on Oct 24 and earned 4 base airmiles, already had posted, today Lowes clawed back -4 airmiles. Thanks for noticing, I'll be keeping an eye on what happens next.

We've just come back from a 4 week holiday and I'm feeling totally overwhelmed with the catch up phase. Did any of the points that we did in the summer post for anyone? Christmas in July and then another short one, but I can't remember the name of it.
Do we think that there will be a Shop the Block next month? I want to order some gifts from Amazon, but don't want to miss out on the promotions. If I do an airmilesshops shop and include books and CD's do any of those 'count' towards the shop? $200 worth of books. and no airmiles? Or would I get the base points for the amount I spend? What about at Indigo? Thanks for helping me get back in the groove!

OOOH all my fellow Rexall shoppers! If you're over 55 you'll be able to get even more products during your one-day only coupon trips!! Check this out -- for every one of your $50 transaction you'll also be getting a $10 gift card PLUS save 20% off all regular priced items. That brings the *cash return* up to $30 for every $50 transaction - $10 from the gift card AND $20 from the Airmiles (200 AM per $50)

View attachment 448243

Lucked out today! Over 55, so on my spend of $51.60 plus tax I got a $10 gift card, 20% off everything regularly priced (a savings of about $12.50), 2 base AMs, 10 extra bonus AMs for purchases, 100 bonus AMs (I only had one coupon), plus 8 Load + Go Bonus AMs. Total of 120 AMs.

So it has been a while since I posted...like 5 years...but I have been following and using some of the fantastic tips on this board for about 3 months now. Thank you to everyone for helping me build up my miles for our next trip! Anyways, I now have a question: Can you start a missing miles report if the miles are posted but are incorrect but it has not been the 60 - 120 days yet?

I just logged in to check my total because I bought a new tub for the kids bathroom a few weeks ago and we got 19 miles. That really is not a whole lot for a 500 dollar tub but at least they didn't claw the miles back. We are on hold with a bathroom reno just waiting for the tub walls to come on sale or a massive AM payout because the walls are a grand.

Checking my account today and I got 75 AM from something called AMRP Marketing Bonus. I don't use this card very often, so I'm not sure what this if from. Anyone got any ideas? I have nothing marked down that I'm waiting for other than Shell and Rexall flu shot. BTW - when do you think the flu shot AM will post? I did that back on Sept. 5.

I can't wait for shop the block and cyber Monday. We told the dd that the gift them the nursery set for the grandbaby. We went looking and checking out different places when we were in Calgary on our last visit. But it looks like she is leaning more and more towards a set on Wayfair So hopefully there will be a good cyber Monday Sale with some AM attached to it as well. This Gammie and Gramps are wanting to do a quick last minute getaway after baby is born and we know they are all settled in and back home

HOLY smokes gang! I go out to Rexall and I'm gone a little more than 2 hours (stupid bus route crosses a set of train tracks and we sat for 45 minutes one direction ) and the thread explodes with questions!! I'll pull together answers now!

My report is pretty darned awesome if i don't say so myself!
2 transactions for a total spend of $118.59 and snagged a total of (get this!) 710 miles !
How? well, got chatting with one of my favourite cashiers and we neglected to hit the "old lady" button on one transaction so it didn't trigger my gift card. She then proceeded to void the entire transaction and put it thru again and I KNOW from previous experience that the 250 miles i earned from that won't be clawed back!
I didn't even try to use the survey coupon because it's not worth the aggravation or losing my precious miles.
The transaction that was voided included toothbrush heads that were on sale AND buy 2 get 50 AM.
I got 2 of the old lady gift cards as well so i walked out with a cash return of $90 for $118 ($70 from AM cause I'm earning 100% cash right now and 2 x $10 gift cards)


**ETA Why didn't i put thru that failed transaction on my secondary card so that it would have enough miles to use during StB

 

[Days In the Sun]

Rexall, Friday Nov 1 to Sunday Nov 3, 50 airmiles when you use 95 airmiles + $10 giftcard when you spend $30. The airmiles part looks like once per day per collector.

What is the shell promo?

 

[AngelDisney]

Successful trip to Rexall. Spent just under $98 (decided to add some Halloween candy for the office) and netted 254 AM. I didn’t try the $5 off coupon, since it said it couldn’t be combined with another Rexall coupon

That’s not an airmiles coupon. It’s a cash coupon, You should be able to use it once a day after taxes (deduction of $5). You just scan it last though. It will block the other coupons if you scan it first.

Next time you need to separate your purchases into 2 transaction to double the return! You didn't need much more to get to the $100 mark

That's mildly troubling BUT they all have in their terms and conditions that they have the right to do that. HOWEVER, I would more than likely be starting an online chat to ask AM for an explaination

Christmas in July isn't supposed to post till Nov 25th but I would be surprised if they don't post them soon to clear up that mess before Shop the Block starts soon. Mind you, the last time they had a special promo that was entirely based on the online shopping it was a complete storm when it came to the posting, hardly any of us had it work properly. I'm expecting this to be very similar, i still have one transaction that didn't post. I don't remember what the other promo in the summer was called because we chose not to do it, wasn't' worth the outlay of cash to us if i remember correctly.
Shop the Block: we should be getting some hints of it soon-ish, it has historically started mid-November. There has always been online shopping involved AND when it comes to Amazon I have found that if I mix up my transaction it triggers miles for the entire amount even if some of the "excluded" items are mixed in so I'd think it's worth trying. Not sure what your question about Indigo is other than I know you earn points for gift cards as well as everything else they sell.

I'm not sure why you only used one of the coupons? I included both in my post, be sure to check next time that you are fully armed when you head out, gotta max those miles whenever we can!!

Anyways, I now have a question: Can you start a missing miles report if the miles are posted but are incorrect but it has not been the 60 - 120 days yet?

If you have had miles posted and the amount is not what you are expecting I would go ahead and contact AM now. I've had that happen a few times and they are pretty good about correcting it at that point. UNLESS what you're talking about is only base miles posted and not the bonus, then you run the risk of getting the company line of "wait for 120 days"

I have nothing marked down that I'm waiting for other than Shell and Rexall flu shot. BTW - when do you think the flu shot AM will post? I did that back on Sept. 5.

I've had miles post occasionally with that wording and it's been connected to a bonus offer that came from using my AMEX card. Did you take part in the recent Mastercard offer? Maybe it's from that? The Flu shot miles posted about 2 - 3 weeks after the email came out saying the shots were available -- it's later than normal this year because there was a shortage of the vaccinne so I'm expecting it to post *soonish* the notation will look like this when it does finally show up

Crazy shop at Rexall today......................I did an actual grab the card out of the cashier's hand when I realized I was giving her the wrong airmiles card,,lol. Poor girl she is a trainee......But my mind was on Halloween candy chocolate!!!!!! I did apologise.
3 shops= 400 cash airmiles on one card and 224 Airmiles on the other (sons) card.
I got the old "these are the same coupons" to which I said *Just please scan them*.
I also asked and got a $10.00 old person gift card.
There are a few more things I need, but I checked online and I can get them at Well.ca with free delivery to my local pharmacy so I am going to wait for Shop The Block Promo.

Hugs
Mel

I received AMRP bonus yesterday, 50 airmiles. The detail on mine says Bundle Your Bonus which is the Sobeys Booklet that I didn't get so obviously the description doesn't match. Mine I thought was either Sobeys Thanksgiving Bonus Sept 26-Oct 13 or BMO Bonus Boom October 10-13, both are personal emailed offers.

Someone posted this on FB:

Check your emails. I just got one from Rexall saying there was a technical error on the flu shot notices and my airmiles number wasn't recorded and they are giving me an additional 10 miles so 35 total but I had to resubmit my info by Nov 4!

That’s not an airmiles coupon. It’s a cash coupon, You should be able to use it once a day after taxes (deduction of $5). You just scan it last though. It will block the other coupons if you scan it first.

This is not 100% true -- it seems to be dependent on the store you are in. It does in fact say that it won't combine with other Rexall coupons and if you look closely at the wording there is a loophole that for some reason makes some stores not actually honour it -- yes they are the same chain but they don't all use the same Point of Sale system (i learned my lesson and didn't use POS this time )
*Valid at participating Rexall locations. *Minimum $25 purchase required before taxes, after discounts. Excludes prescriptions, products containing codeine, insulin, Rexall Gift Cards, Gift Cards, lottery, postal services and stamps, transit tickets, baby diapers, baby formula, adult meal supplements, prepaid phone cards, photo finishing, tobacco products and taxes. No cash value. Can not be replaced if lost or stolen. One coupon per customer per transaction per day. Not valid on past purchases. Can not be combined with any other Rexall coupon. Employees not eligible for discount.

Those words I underlined and slanted fancy like that, is why this doesn't allow any other coupon to be used (I've even had trouble using manufacturer's coupons at one store with this!) In my one problematic store it doesn't matter when the danged thing is scanned it essentially locks out every other extra coupon code.
