Thanks ladies, now I've gone down the rabbit hole as well.

Yup well I spent some money at that store today but my sister will be really happy with the Muppet material that I bought for her. Her birthday is coming up so now to decide if I want to make her something or give her the material and see what she wants me to make her. I was supposed to make her an apron and she bought the material but I never got it made so maybe she can make a Muppet apron or I can make her some pillow cases.

You guys and your sewing is going to be the end of me. We are going to be downsizing in the next little while so I cleaned house last summer, figured out what I could get rid of ahead of time. Got rid of my sewing machine and a 60 gallon container of materials I had collected, mostly from Joanne's Fabrics. I was good with letting it all go.....until recently, lol. Now the bug is coming back and your not helping at all. I actually found myself looking at a sewing machine at Costco a few weeks ago.
I have to stop!

I have to agree. When I told dh that I was taking this " beginners quilting class" so that I could make a tick in my bucket list....he has ZERO idea the monster it would unleash!!!! I now have the spare room as MINE!!!! I have my sewing machine set up at all times. a dedicated shelf for fabric, batting, and notions in the closet. But he sees how much joy I get from creating a quilt from little pieces of material that I have cut and sewn together. Quilting is my yoga. I haven't sat at my machine for a few weeks again.
BUT
I do have some new charm packs on the way for a new quilt for my sister. The list of people wanting a quilt will probably never end. It brings me joy...especially given the times we are experiencing right now. I probably won't be stopping any time soon.

my only issue with the BMO is who the partners are. We'll see I guess!

Can someone remind me of the new BMO World Elite Air Miles MasterCard values starting May 1?

I thought it was 1 miles for every $13 charged if NOT a partner, 3 miles for every $12 charge FOR partners...? Is that right?

 

[ottawamom]

Changes to the BMO Air Miles World Elite
The card now earns a flat 1 Mile for every $10 spent or 0.1 mile per $1. As of May, however, that will change and cardholders will earn 1 Mile for every $12 spent and triple the miles when shopping at Air Miles Partners.Feb. 12, 2021

changes to BMO W/E M/C

I got a similar offer but its 200AM for $150 (cummulative spend) at Sobeys (only). I'll shop next week and pick up my groceries and top it up to>$150 with a GC.

Too bad you couldn't have shopped this weekend as you get 100 air miles for a $125 shop but that doesn't include buying gift cards.
Yesterday I shopped at Sobeys, spent $170 and earned 169 air miles. I am missing 20 for buying bread yeast but it showed in the digital ad not the print ad so I am not sure how I would go back to the store and try and get that one as I would have to show on my phone. I didn't notice the missing miles until I got home as I load my stuff on the conveyor belt, then run down to the end and pack all my own bags so never check the points and stuff at the store. I will think on that one but it does tick me off because I bought it for the air miles. I know that my store isn't doing refunds and rain checks so not sure if they are giving back missing air miles.

 

[ottawamom]

Call their my offers help line explain the situation. They should post the missing miles for you. I don't always have luck when I call but it usually does work.

I had a -40 correction then +100 correction today. This may have been the Shell one, not sure. Sometimes there’s too many offers on the go to keep track of

I had a -100 BMO correction on April 9 and a +25 correction today. I like your corrections better.

Totally!! Typically, if there are complicated offers (bonus boom etc) that I can’t just track off my BMO MC, I take screenshots of the offers and terms and put them in a google slide deck - one offer per slide and then put the date and expected AM earned on the slide too - and then once they are posted, I write the date and amount earned , I move them to a section of the deck after a slide with “complete”.

Then in the first section, I can see what hasn’t posted and need to follow up on and all the terms are there for me when I’m in chat.

Actually, I’m curious, how do other people track?

 

[tinkerone]

I got a +40 and a +100 correction. As nice as this is I'm not going to count it in for at least a month to see if they take it back.
