Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[hdrolfe]

That’s awesome! Would it be possible to re-post this GC tip?

Basically I logged into the airmiles online portal and went to amazon, filled up my cart to see how much it would be, then reloaded my gift card with my credit card for that amount. Once that came through (takes a few minutes, just sit there with the windows open) I applied the gift card to my order. I got airmiles for the reloading of the gift card and for the purchase. Now the purchase, mine all shipped together but if it's split up into smaller packages you may not get the full amount for this but for the gift card reload, it's all one purchase so you'll get them all there. I did it because I wanted to get the $150 for the MM and have problems with things being split up and not meeting the total.

Called My Offers this morning and asked about changing my Safeway offers to Foodland. He told me it was system generated and I would have to use my AM's card at Foodland a few more times for it to switch over. That won't happen as I seldom shop there BUT he did give me the 190 AM's as good will since I can't go to Safeway.
Yeah me!

When we're through all this promotion you could send me the back of your card and I'll purchase some small item a couple of time for the switch over to happen if you like. I could do it at Sobeys or Foodland I believe as the offers I get both say Sobeys/Foodland.

 

[tinkerone]

Wondering if someone can explain something for me. I made a purchase at Staples through AM's shop, total before taxes was $119.98. I know that Staples awards 1 AM for each $40 spend. Do I get 1 AM for each $20 spend as well through AM Shop? I didn't think so but I have 5 miles posted with AM Shop as partner with Staples showing as the description. Staples has a 25X's offer as well so I am waiting for it.
I've not shopped Staples through AM shop before so I am a bit confused.

That's a very kind offer, thank you.

Yes you should, you should get them for purchasing at Staples and also because you went through the airmiles shop.

Wooohooooo gift card bonus at Sobeys and Foodland!!! Finallyyyyy!!!!!

 

[ottawamom]

I second that. There are a number of things I can make use of at Sobeys this week so I think I will be able to shop there for my Mega Miles coupons use this week. It will be a nice boost to the AM totals.

Are the my offers threshold spend offers stacking with the Mega Miles coupon? I haven't been paying attention because mine were all higher than the Foodland coupon.

Yes they are. See below!

So make sure to buy the gift card first and then use it to spend over $150 for the Mega Miles.

I was just looking at "MY offers" and the bonus for buying anything in the store has now been removed from my offers. I used it on Sunday. The "glitch" was shortlived but profitable while it existed.

Yup, mine only lasted one use as well but it was a buy anything get 190, so it worked well.

Ohhh, that gift card bonus is awesome for me - I have just about $750 in credit sitting on my Amex from a refund for a Come From Away performance that never happened. I've been debating what to do with it. Now I know I'm turning it into groceries! Does anyone know from previous offers, can I do 5 $150s in a single transaction, or do I need to do 5 separate ones?

 

[Debbie]

I guess I will see if I'm by a Sobey's. Their gift card bonus is better than Foodland's. Sobey's is out of the way, but it will finish off my BMO spend for my Mega Miles, too.

 

[bababear_50]

I'm in for using up an old Sobeys gift card and picking up some Kellogs cereal for 100 Airmiles.
That's kind of it for my shop this week.

Hi Krista
My experience has been to do separate transactions .

My Sobeys has $200 in gift cards get 100 miles. I still have some left over on this promo from two weeks ago.

I will wait until Wednesday (last day of offer) and buy $400 worth for 200 miles and then I only need another $100 towards my BMO $500/500 miles offer.

I love that I can use my Sobeys gift cards at both Lawton's (MM offer: spend $40/5x) and Shell.
