Mel, GC are $25 get 20AM. Not many offers in any of the flyers. Ahh the new normal. They do have sliced cheese on at Metro and that was on my list for this week so that's good. Fortunately I don't need many groceries this week. Here's hoping there may be more deals next week

No grocery shop for me this week.

Wow, I miss being excited about Flyer day. Anyone else notice that it's really hard to know exactly what day it is without looking for some sort of sign post? Like for me, it's garbage night so it must be Wednesday but i only know that because our neighbour put theirs out

 

[bababear_50]

I got an early morning targeted offer from Metro,,spend $70.00 get 70 airmiles.
Hello baskets of flowers... I went inside and paid and out in 3 minutes,,loaded them from the curbside into my car and home before 7:30 am. Now it feels a bit more like Spring is happening.

No receipt ,they offered a email digital one,, I got home and it's in my email already.
I like this idea very much.

Hugs
Mel

Thanks for posting about that offer Mel, I got it too!

Everyone in Southern Ontario be sure to take your baskets in for the evenings, especially over the next few days. Where I live (north-west of Toronto) we are possibly expecting snow on Friday/Sat!

My Metro offer is spend $100 get 100 AM, which I will be doing this week (I had wanted to keep it lower but I'll stock up on a few things and make it work).

Did anyone else notice Sobeys has changed to having their offers pop up on Thursday now as well? So Metro, Sobeys, Optimum and my M&M offers all have to be loaded on Thursdays. It is the day most flyers start though so I guess it makes sense! Except Shoppers, theirs start later, it's weird. Any way happy almost Friday! I think.

My DH opted into the Shell bonus day offer in April for up to 100AMs

(see below)

As a valued customer, we want to let you know that we’ve made a change to April’s Bonus Day.

We recognize that your routine has likely changed, so instead of 1 day, you now have the entire month to get up to100 AIR MILES® Bonus Miles.

Visit Shell any time between April 3–30, 2020, after you load the offer to your AIR MILES Card, and get 1 Bonus Mile per litre on any grade of fuel (up to 100 Miles).*


He opted in, bought the gas, kept the receipts and has not had the miles post yet.
Has anyone else had them post?
Were they instant?

He also opted in for May, has done one fill up and there were no instant extra AMs.

I was hoping some of you may have been sent the offer, opted in and can tell me what your experience is/was before I contact Air Miles

TIA

Had a big shop at Sobeys today as the cupboards were bare. Ended up with 274AM on $300 spent which is the most I have earned there in a while.

Had a targeted offer of spend $25 on cat products (needed litter and food) get 50am. Also picked up the Miss Vickies chip deal for 40am. The rest were mostly just some of my bonus offers happening to mesh with what I needed and the AM earned from my Amex.

Store was in the best shape I've seen since this all started. Flour was the only thing they were out of.

The T&C says the miles will be awarded up to (I think) 28 days after the promotion closes. Click on the T&C at the bottom of the email to find it.

mine posted before april even ended (i only filled up once in the middle of the month). i would contact them.

DH got this targeted offer from Sobeys:



The T&C at the bottom say it's valid for June 4-18, 2020. So even though they sent yesterday, I still can't use it, correct?

 

[marcyleecorgan]

YMMV but Shell points typically come on the 26th of the month for me. So I have to be careful towards the end of the month if I want the fill-up rewards; I can't wait until the 30th because they roll into the next month.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Not air miles related, but just wanted to share my new eye glass case and lens cloth that I found in my "junk" drawer. I think I was given this for Christmas one year from my mother (who doesn't like animals) LOL

 

[bababear_50]

Ok I am 3 for 3.....goodbye bad luck Murphy!!!!!!!

1) My son stepped on the vacuum cord which had a nick in it--he got a shock,,blew out my bathroom light and wall socket,,he is fine. My nerves are shot.

2) New toilet handle is defective,,plastic crumbled upon opening it.(second one ordered and it came and it has no threads drilled so it is also defective--we are back to dental floss hanging off the side of the toilet to flush it.

3)BBQ baster fell into bottom of dishwasher and melted around the heating element.Smoke and bad plastic smell,,,,,I need a holiday away from my home........

So how was your week?

Hugs Mel

Haven't received mine yet for April. Did the fillup on the 25th, so I need to wait 4 weeks according to the promo. Did the May fillup today, so hopefully I'll get that before the end of the month. If that happens that should make things confusing!

 

[marcyleecorgan]

Oh geeeez Mel, what a start to your weekend.
and it's not even nice weather to go sit outside, is it? Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.
Glad nobody is injured and that all these silly house problems are fixable.
Our toilet seat needs stronger bolts to secure it, we sit down and it shifts back and forth underneath. NOT helpful, someone is going to get pinched or fall off. I feel you on the flush handle thing.

This sounds like a day in my life lol ha. We had as usual lately another uneventful week . I’m finding it hard to do anything right now . Before it was get through the week and we are going here or doing this and now it’s my weekly grocery shop .Sigh we also are going to hit double digits for our trip and I really don’t think ..finding it hard to look forward to anything.
oh my goodness the cost of food right now. This am ground beef at Walmart for a family size pack was $18 I paid $11-12 last week. I didn’t last long in there . I went in the vitamin aisle and a man who was less than healthy starting coughing . I literally felt fear. Our city has zero active cases but still .
Hoping this week is better. Hugs to you all

Happy ending to my cancelled Disneyland trip from March. You may recall I was forced to re-book my AirMiles air Canada flights for dates before May 25, 2020 because I booked them May last year or I would lose all my miles and $. Well thanks to the extended border closure, my May 15 flights were cancelled and I now have credits good through May 8, 2022. So happy to not lose my hard earned AM and we have some time for the pandemic to run its course.
