The terms and conditions of the Sobeys offer exclude GC but GC will work to complete the BMO offer.

Oh right! Forgot about that.

I looked at the terms of the two BMO offers and it looks like the offer you received depends on what type of credit card you hold.

I am going to do one airmiles card only.
BMO 125 airmiles a $200.00 spend. I will buy 4 $50.00 Amazon Gift cards (these will be put away for Christmas gifts).
Sobeys 15 airmiles buy 1 12 pk Pop,, not sure which type yet as I don't usually drink pop.(I'm sure one of my son's will).
Shell 15 airmiles (Opt in online) 25 Litres any grade gas.(eventually I'll need gas,,,I think,,maybe!!!).
I wish Staples had been a partner sponsor.
That's it for me.
250 airmiles total.

Hi Mel, it looks like Staples is a "participating partner" in the BMO offer. Not sure if that changes your strategy but wanted to tell you when I saw that!

Hi ElCray
I am searching on this page but can't see anything. Can you tell me where you found Staples?

Mini vent. I was just at Sobeys, DS had a loaded offer for ever $15 you spend on baking products get 20AM. I got salt, cornmeal, brown sugar, peanut butter chips and chocolate chips. Total came to $31. Didn't get any AM. Called the offers people when I got home. I went through the list and how much each cost. Turns out peanut butter chips and chocolate chips are not "baking items". I quesitoned him on that and he gave me the AM for the loaded offer that didn't work and another 20 for the "chips".

Buyer beware, but how are we supposed to know what works and what doesn't?

This happened to me with the Unilever items from a couple weeks ago. The store manager even printed me off a list of the Unilever products in the store. The selected items for the promotion weren't listed anywhere, and it turns out I didn't get the right ones. Still no idea what they are/were. It's super lame when that happens.

Glad to see the Safeway AM spending threshold promo continue into this next shopping week.

Best of luck and blessings to those who are trying to use these promos to donate to others!

***Warning, rant coming up (that does eventually lead to me getting a bunch of miles )

The time when your hubby put the milk into the fridge "backwards" so that the 2 bags that were dated July 1st were at the front and the 2 dated June 18th (YES tomorrow) were at the back, only when you replaced a bag before supper did you notice the mistake!!! How on earth am I going to use EIGHT litres of milk before tomorrow (and yes I know that's a "best before" date and not an "OMG use it now or it will explode and kill you" date but my dietary issues include foods that are starting to spoil ..)


I make my own yogurt that uses 2 L of milk and it's ok to use milk that's been frozen HOWEVER we all know that while the bagged milk is 4 L it's no longer in 4 one L bags( don't get me started on how hard it is to get the danged things in the jugs now ) so i can't freeze these and then use them to make my yogurt now can i?!AND i have my starter portioned out for using 2 L of milk and only had two left. PLUS when milk was last on sale I had bought a bunch and tossed it in the freezer, I was ready to make more last night so a container was already in the fridge thawed. So i did some algebra (the math that we all swore we'd never need in real life and i use at least every other day for either increasing or decreasing a recipe!!) to figure out how much of the starter i would need to use 2 of the small bags and started some yogurt before bed, crossed my fingers and hoped it would turn out. It needed to be successful so i could take some of that to start the yogurt I'll need to make tonight! **side note, IT DID!

I woke up early this morning fretting over what to do with the remaining 6 bags of milk AND the fact that I'm going to be short an entire week's worth of milk. I decided to spend most of the day in the kitchen and tackle the issue head on! I have 4 appliances working away (taking a break while the bread proofs) - Used the Instant pot to make some polenta that I eat for breakie with dried blueberries, started some tapioca pudding in a small crockpot (i have 3 different sizes !) and pulled out Max the Mighty Mixer to make some Oatmeal bread (new recipe that I discovered that hubby loves, I'll add it to the kitchen thread later today) and tossed it into Owen (my fancy pants oven) to rise before i knock it down and divide it into 2 loaves (the girls will get one because my freezer is stuffed full and the containers I use for the bread are already full from the bread i baked YESTERDAY!!!) That leaves me with one full small bag and about 3/4 of another that i should be able to get thru if I swap out some of my water for milk today and tomorrow. PHEW, what a stressful few hours!!

NOW to bring it back around to Airmiles before someone shoots me and everyone stops ignoring my posts

1. I *bought* Max with airmiles a few years ago.
2. I bought Owen from Lowes thru the online portal during a wicked good sale, with multiple multipliers and earned around 1200 miles for that!
3. I bought the 2L container of milk, that was frozen and I'll be using for yogurt tonight, at Metro when it was on sale and had miles attached
4. AND the best outcome from this debacle and needing to buy more milk tomorrow is that the new flyer shows it's on sale at Metro for $5.49 for the 2 L containers (good price for the Lactose free stuff i drink), buy 2 get 20 miles!!! I'll check the date carefully and hopefully buy 2 weeks worth of THAT and earn 80 miles

For those also waiting, My 50 AM for last month’s BMO Bonus boom posted today.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Mine just posted too!

 

[Donald - my hero]

Mine from Mastercard as well AND the miles from the AMEX bill, nice bump for the account.

 

[ElCray]

My Sobeys points just posted from last week for the threshold offer, personalized spend offer and standard points. No sign of the points for the cereal and other products. Hope they post soon. Edit: And there they are! Just rolled in.

 

[juniorbugman]

Yea my shop at Sobeys this week will not be the spend $200 get 125 air miles for Bonus boom as I don't need as much stuff as normal. We stopped at our local butcher for the first time since March and bought some steaks and stuff so no meat products from Sobeys. I am going to check for pancake mix and rice since I heard the news today about Uncle Ben's and Aunt Jemima brands so I want to stock up on my rice but the pancake mix is already gone from the stores so too late. Maybe I will use the cash in 95 miles get 25 miles back and also get a case of pepsi product then I will have met 2 of the 3 bonus boom offers.
Edited - Just checked to bonus boom site and the use 95 get 25 miles doesn't start until June 25 so next shopping visit for that one.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

For Shell, 25L fill up for 15 miles, plus if you use at least 95 cash miles to pay you earn another 20 miles.
