Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Ugh, neither of my 30 am shop purchases posted, but the partner miles did. MyIndigo order split into three so I knew that was going to be the issue. But my Bentley order posted fine as one order.

Just out of curiosity for those who have called re the BMO Elite card (I have one as well), what all are you basing a refund request on? Is it just the Lounge Key program? Or are there other things that you bring up to the agent? I've looked at the benefits, and that seems to be the only option that's been out since last spring. I've never used the Lounge Key option, so I'd have a hard time basing an argument for a refund on that.

I just said I couldn't justify the fee as I can't travel because of the pandemic, and I was considering cancelling. They took it from there.

Re the chocolate covered almonds yes I do, they keep calling to me! I'm ignoring them right now.

My annual fee adjustment just posted. It was the full $120

I called back yesterday and I asked if she could check the fees I pay, break it down for me. She said the card fee was $120, then I told her I didn't feel the value was there. She offered to reverse it for me. I'm just waiting now to see how much actually does get posted. As retired staff I only pay half of that so if she credits me $120 I'll be thrilled. If she does her job though she should check and see my card is staff and only pay $60.
Time will tell.

But today is National Almond so you must have one today.

Fingers crossed.

I got an offer to spend $50 on my BMO card at any airmiles partner and get 150 airmiles. I haven't been using the BMO or AM much since December so I guess they want me to spend more.

That's a nice one. Mine are always 'spend 5 million get 10 AM's'.

Nice, mine is spend $750 on my card (doesn’t have to be partners), get 40 AM. I’ll opt in just in case I happen to spend that much but not going out of my way for so few miles. We do use our card a lot though for day to day spending to earn AM.

Niiice. Mine is spend $50 at Foodland/Staples/Global Pet and get 100AM. I'm still not spending money-well, except for $$$$$$ for a house-so I'm guessing that, even though I opted in, I won't be making it. But, maybe? I could buy a gift card for my son's girlfriend who has picked up many, many great boxes for packing. Hmmm.

 

[Silvermist999]

My week long offer is spend $50 get 100AM at LCBO, Shell, or Globo Pet Foods.
I’ve never had such a small selection of partners before, luckily the Shell offer works for us.

I called today and as my renewal is coming up at the end of May, the CS agent put a note in my file so when I call at the end of May, they will reverse the $170 charge. I was surprised that he also included the extra card fee, but didn't argue. BTW, my BMO offer received today was spend $130, get 15 AM - NOT!

I got the BMO offer again...spend $50/100....this time I won't miss it. It included Shell this time which is 2 minutes from work so I'll go and buy a gift card.

 

[hdrolfe]

My offer included Shell and Metro, and Jean Coutu which isn't anywhere near me... Worst case I'll go to Shell and pick up a giftcard for something. I could use some airmiles.

 

[Donald - my hero]
