Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[marcyleecorgan]

Well DH finally called AM on the phone and got them to credit us some more AM for our troubles. apparently there is some sort of known browser issue where it doesn't quite detect the AM account and then doesn't issue the miles. whatever. I am just glad that he found a way around the other "customer service" option to get the miles, which was receipts and the screenshots AND the browser log histories for each and every single Amazon order that my DH had made since... um... last fall.

He said he is happy to see my earn AM doing my thing, but that he is done with trying to spend time chasing down some non-1:1 point rewards, after he spent the money on them already. In his mind, the biggest returns are from Shell and Safeway so I'll just keep doing those... It would be really weird to go and buy wine for myself... I don't think I have ever actually done that. LOL Plus we are trying to minimize, so we can maximize our vacation, when we finally can get away! Whew! Sorry for the rant...

Just checked and my 800am posted too. Now I have 22,000 air miles, with nowhere to go.

Just think how many more trips you'll be able to take when things do open up again. Keep collecting it'll all get used in a year or so.

I’ve got 45,000 waiting to be used.

sounds like it might be time for another round of “what do you dream about using your miles for”!

I'll go first.....
My miles have always been for WDW and probably always will be. I haven't paid for park tickets in 15 years and have gone there every year, many years 2-3 times. I suppose I dream about making our return to WDW an epic adventure. The dream would be staying at the POLY for 2 weeks(or more), having an AP so that we could come and go at will, dxDDP, flying from YYZ instead of BUF and a fancy rental car. Lastly traveling at a time of year that the weather was at a constant 28 with very little rain. Just one more thing....low crowds.

Could you imagine how many AM it would take to cover even half of that

this isn't a lot of miles but hey, it isn't a wicked high threshold for a change and a 2:1 return from staples is rare!!! Don't forget to go thru the AMS portal to get a few more miles

 

[ottawamom]

Thanks for reminding me about online option for Staples. I may do that offer now.

(I know I answered differently before, but....)

I have 4 -10D non-expiry WDW PH tix that I bought 4yrs ago (for $375ea - now me thanks past me for sucking it up and buying those lol) that are sort of burning a hole in my pocket -so would like to take my parents and sister (theyve never been - we’ve been to DL 10 times together) — I have more than enough airline points, westjet dollars, companion fares and Marriott points to cover the travel pieces. BUT, I’d like to figure out how to leverage AM to make that trip even better - maybe 4 days at universal and make it a 2 week trip? Orrrr??? Just make it the cheapest possible OOP trip? Or maybe use the personal shopper for some experience at WDW (a party etc)

To me it’s a game - I love figuring out how to leverage every dollar spent and translating that to points or experiences.

i really like hearing how people’s plans change! it’s really neat to me to hear how were all dreaming and working to get the best value from our hard-earned miles

I also have a lot of miles burning a hole in my pocket. My plan was for universal tickets for 3, and 1 annual pass through the personal shopper for the discounts, plus Blue Man group tickets. I already have my 4 7 day Disney tickets (that I will likely have to pay to at least make one into a adult ticket by the time we go, and whatever else they are going to charge me to use my old tickets from last year). I've also got a Disney After Hours (if they come back) at AK built into the budgeted AM plan, and now I have an extra 15,000 to play with beyond those items! Dessert party probably, and I'd love if we could use them for a cabana at Volcano Bay, but I don't think that would be allowed. When we finally go back, we'll have lots of free "extras" from AM

Hi Hon
Is this a targeted offer or could it be used by others?
Thanks

We bumped our Oct/Nov 2020 trip to this Oct/Nov. It cost me $40USD per person to extend our tickets (7 day PH) to January 2022. We had ordered MNSSHP tickets from air miles concierge, and once the party was officially cancelled, we received the air miles back in our account. I'm hoping the trip goes ahead this year, and it would be a bonus if some type of 'party' is scheduled.

The trip is for 10 days, so if travel restrictions are lifted and the trip proceeds, we'll decide closer to the date if we want to go to Universal for a day as well.

Of course I just spent $94 at staples last night

I didn't need to opt in, it doesn't say that it's only valid for my card number so I'm thinking it's open for everyone? Here's the terms

Jacquelines coupon code is the same as the one I received so I don't think it's unique.
