Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[bababear_50]

Got through to Airmiles CHAT and they said they are aware of call back tech issue and are working on it.
Advised me to call Shell direct for receipt issues........
Ah Shell is having tech issues and took my number and said they'd call me backkkkkkkkkkkkk!
This is almost becoming comical.
Lord what is happening to online communications lately.

Off topic post but gotta get my brag on with my family!
FINALLY finished the bag for my friend - the directions said "easy" but once The Duck gets it in her head to tweak the pattern OH yeah, and then I decided to make a matching key fob as well


you won't get to see the lining -- disaster but my friend will love it

Bonus boom miles posted too!!! I'll take all the AM!!!!

You got the 95AM from Airmiles? Sobeys hasnt posted the AM for using 95Cash AM yet so I'm still waiting on the 95AM from Airmiles for completing the three offers. I did get the ones from BMO though. One step at a time. One call at a time I'll get all the AM I'm owed. They stand out like a sore thumb on my spreadsheet.

Just wondering if anybody can help me remember what the Bonus Boom offers for Foodland for May were? The 95 miles have not posted to my daughter's account and the online chat is asking which offers were completed. Under her transactions it says: May Bonus Boom Fuel Offer for Shell, but the other 2 are from Foodland and just say Bonus Reward Miles and one is for 15 and the other is for 25. Is this possibly a minimum spend and a vitamin water offer?

This weeks flyers are disappointing. Not many AM to be had in many of the stores. We need a Blue Week (maybe next flyer) with good deals.

Most disappointing week in a long time. Hoping for half decent personalized offers but not holding my breath!

 

[bababear_50]

Well here they are---very disappointing and I am not sure the BMO offer they sent me via email spend 125 get 125 is a safe one to use...it doesn't say no gift card purchase BUT the flyers have a similar offer and it does say it there.
So confusing.

I have a similar offer from BMO in May (haven't seen the AM yet). The terms and conditions are different. No coupon required I just had to open the email. No specific mention of No Gift Cards.

Looks like they are catching on to the buy a GC to get a threshold spend for the BMO offers. To bad, that was a go to for me.

Well at least the spend $125 get 100 air miles at Sobeys starts tomorrow and not on Friday. I really need to shop for an item tomorrow so I am glad that I can do my weekly shop then instead of just buying the 1 item.

 

[bababear_50]

I used last weeks flyer for todays grocery shop. Foodland
Loaded up on Granola Bars ,,, Yogurt bars and Crispy Minis for the sons. (Ok I do like the Granola yogurt bars).(great Expiry dates).
I had a My Offer for an extra 8 airmiles for the granola bars and a few other things.
Spend $114
480 Airmiles.
I won't be buying anything from this weeks flyers.
I will pick up my chicken from Maple Lodge Farms outlet.

Normally it frustrates me to no end that my Metro submits their totals to airmiles in lumps about once a month, means keeping receipts out forever and makes it hard to track. Today however? I'm thrilled because I just got this awesome offer! The terms & conditions say I can use it once a DAY, not just a one shot deal so I'll be able to get at least 120 miles -- it's rare that I walk out without spending close to $100 anymore, anyone else notice their bills creeping up??!!

 

[ottawamom]

My airmiles shopping the last few months has been pitiful. I alternate between the three cards and try to max my miles but there just isn't a lot on offer anymore that I use on a regular basis. I don't want to purchase things just for the miles so I've become a lot more selective in my shopping.

I did get that same offer from Airmiles/Metro the other week and got around to using it just yesterday. Miles weren't on the receipt but I know they will show up later.

I'm hoping to stock up on a bunch of meat tomorrow at Sobeys and take advantage of the $125 get 100AM offer.

I haven't even bothered with my 2nd card unless I get an awesome offer that involves very little outlay of cash like the 2 I've had from Foodland to spend any amount and get 125 miles. I don't even remember the last time I did one of the "big" promos for that card. I cleaned it out when I got my Fitbit so it's just sitting there collecting dust

 

[ElCray]

Sorry if I missed this but does everyone think the Sobeys personalized offer for spend $125 from July 29-31 will stack with the flyer offer?

I see this in the Ts and Cs:
"Cannot be combined with other minimum spend/receive offer(s)."

Well, I did run to Safeway yesterday to pick up some pizza pops for the boys to eat up over the rest of summer. I spent 26.75 and scored 96 AM. I'll take it. Now to watch and see if they post. Patiently waiting for last week's score to post this afternoon.

 

[bababear_50]

My grocery bills are creeping up.
So I had a look at some different categories...

Meat is up 39%
Paper products and cleaners up 25%
Fresh Fruits & Veggies up 18%---25%

Ok during the Pandemic I have not been shopping around.
It just seemed to make more sense to stick to one place.
However I think in order to get back to Normalish I need to start stock piling a few things when i see them on sale.

Yesterday I did my main meat (chicken) via Maple Lodge Farms 2 cases
Next are my mini cans of Albacore Tuna. (probably Amazon). I am the only one who eats them and the small cans are the best for me.


Tomorrow will be Paper products stock up at Rexall and bag some Be well points.
I do watch PC for these products but lately when you get to the store they have no stock available.

Garbage bags & recycling bags--waiting for Canadian Tire to put them on sale (atleast 50% off).

Honey, Jam, and butter ,,,,prices up and I am watching for sales.

So how are you guys shopping lately?
Where are your best buys?
