sorta? it says one bonus offer per card per day so if you're willing to go every single day, I guess so

They've run this offer in the past. If you are in the habit of shopping at Sobeys regularly it can be a great deal. Rexall regularly does this. It's just a way for the store to get you to come back next week and spend more money.

What I usually do with this kind of offer (because I don't like them) is I go back the next week but just purchase the minimum required to use the coupon. I would rather get AM than a coupon.

Thanks, but what is the offer/voucher?

Count me in....I've got things that I ordered on Black Friday/Cyber Monday that has been shipped but still not here. One of the packages shows delivery due Dec 8. It shows as taking 2 days to get from Penticton to Mississauga and then sitting there for 7 days. From there it's been sitting in Oakville but still not out for delivery.

I am also waiting for items to arrive from an amazon Black Friday Shop. I am not a happy camper. It is a good thing, that the items I am waiting for are NOT gifts and were items I was wanting, because I didn't want to pay extra for shipping. Prime delivery is not guaranteed here, so I refuse to pay that premium when I won't get items within 1-2 days.

There was a covid outbreak at the Canada Post distribution center in Saskatoon, which caused it to close and all mail was routed through Regina.

I am glad we did most of our shopping in stores earlier than usual. Honestly, we lucked out with out lists and found what we needed quickly. I wouldn't want to be the one waiting for a gift that is held up in shipping even though you ordered it early enough for it to be on time. And on the other hand, Canada Post and all delivery companies knew that this was going to happen, and they are unprepared.

I ordered a special item from Kraft Canada - it was shipped from Scarborough(east Toronto) on Dec 14 went to the dreaded Mississauga processing plant but is out for delivery now and will be at my place in Ajax today. I get worried when my packages show as processing at Mississauga because sometimes that spells doom as they take so long to process through there. I hope everybody elses packages arrive quickly.

Edited to add - my package has arrived. I had ordered the KD canteen kit from Kraft Dinner which comes with different flavours of KD plus it came with a plastic cutlery set and a pair of socks which were a surpise to me. How cute it that?

Revisiting the below promo again, for the Safeway/Sobeys spend $300, it doesn’t have to be paid by MasterCard does it? It doesn’t say that the Shell or Safeway have to be. The reason I ask is that I bought $300 in gift cards for the buy $150 get 100 AM promo so most of my Safeway shopping has been paid by those, not MasterCard. At first I thought I made a mistake but then again it doesn’t say it has to be paid by MasterCard.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

@cari12 Correct. You don't need to use your MC to pay for your groceries on this one, just needs your air miles card number.

Thanks for the heads up! I did a quick browse through the flyer but totally missed that!

Well that's cool. I didn't know you can order things from Kraft Canada.

 

[ottawamom]

It will be a coupon printed on your receipt or a credit card sized coupon you bring back.

Well colour me absolutely thrilled (mind you, I'm not getting out much and it doesn't take a lot to excite me )
I placed my order at Well. ca at 10:11 pm
It was picked & packed at 10:25 pm
It was put on the delivery truck @ 3:22 am
I got a text at 7:01 pm that it had been delivered
Miles are already in my account and I got the 10X for a whopping total of 20 miles

I placed my order at Amazon at 12:05 am
It was picked, packed and on the delivery truck @ 1:12 pm
I got the text it had been delivered at 7:04 pm
No miles but like i said, I'm not expecting any for this order so if any show up I'll be surprised again!

We're lucky that we live just up the road from the Well.ca warehouse, it actually started in Guelph and we've watched the location grow and expand. One of my products also came from a company in Guelph, Eco-Pioneer - I add Borax to my sheets & towels to keep them brighter & fresher and haven't been able to find any lately, pleasant surprise to locate it from my own city!!
We're also fortunate to live in the middle of about 5 different Amazon warehouses which leads to such quick delivery if I pick my items carefully. All of today's items came directly from Cambridge, only about 20 minutes away! We actually have the Prime membership as part of our "cord-cutting" that we started when we got home from Florida in February because we're enjoying lots of the movies & old tv shows, the delivery options are just an added bonus.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Well, Staples finally found their error LOL

I was finally charged on my MC for the purchase. That shipping email might mean they are actually sending me another (?), but I have no idea. At this point, I expect I might receive it prior to Christmas.

I AM excited that my Amazon purchase shipped from the Midwest USA! It's a basketball ornament for DD12! We can't find anything locally, and the only other one I keep seeing online is the Old World glass ones...nope!

This one is resin! I figure if it breaks a part at the loops, we then have THREE! lol

That is really great unique gift!!!!! I can think of one person who would love that! I will be putting that into my "Great Gift Ideas" list...and yes...I actually have a list like that one my phone!!! It comes in handy Especially when working at Homesense and touching items while on each shift.

I was waiting for the announcement from this FB page. I seen one of moderators of that page post that she had gotten a sneak peek at the new promo that was going to come up.
It is nothing to run out and do, but it is a great promo if you regularly shop at Safeway, Sobey's, Foodland, and which other ones I know I am forgetting.

thank you @tinkerone .

I shopped using 3 cards at Metro.
-2 pkgs Dempters bagel
-2 pkgs Dempters english muffins

-3 pkgs baby bel gouda

-Reynolds parchment paper
- gravy mix (2)
-Cinnabon bread

With the promotion today - out of pocket $1.75. (used 255AM) got back 150AM. I like shopping like that. $30 goes into my Holiday fund. Win-win-win all around.

 

[tinkerone]

Well, just got back from a very nice shop at Metro. I purchased 2 skillet meals at $4.99 each, buy 2 get 20 AM's. Added an Eggo for the grandson when he comes over for breakfast (all he likes) for another $2.99. When I pulled up to the cash I saw they had Disney Gift Cards, which they never have, and decided to toss a fee in and maybe try and hit that $700 mark for the 250 AM's. I already had hit t he $300 mark so I was actually good but since we booked the Disney Cruise I thought why not.
I get to the cash and the clerk rings it all in then asked how many AM's I wished to use. I asked how many I could use. He said $160, I said do it and I walked out paying only $2.93.
So I only used 85 AM's per ever $10, received 20 AM's for the skillet meals, will get 50 AM's from Metro for using $10. I feel like I made out very well. I love the 85 AM's for every $10. That right there saved me 160 AM's.
