Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Anyone know if the Red Tag Disney tickets can be upgraded to an AP?

I don't see why not, it's a voucher you receive, so I think it's worth the value if you paid cash for it. So same as if you got a paid ticket.

Theoretically the offer from 2weeks ago with nature valley granola bars and liberte yogurt and I think Cheerios for 100 AM should be on until Oct 27. Does anyone know if there’s somewhere to double check? It’s not in the flyer this week and my store did not have tags on the shelf but it’s supposed to still be on based on the flyer 2 weeks ago.

Posted this because it is a good offer and there aren't many AM this week. Prices might not still be valid as they may have been for the week only but the 100AM should still be good. Sobeys Sept 30-Oct 6 flyer.

Edit to add some of the prices were different at my store but the offer still works.

I did my Thanksgiving shop this afternoon.
Couple of observations,,,
$7.99 or $8.99 seems to be the new sticker price for everything....prices are inflated.

Two shoppers got so many negative comments and dirty looks from regular shoppers (you know us the ones following the rules) for not wearing a mask that one lady ended up putting her mask on. Shaking my head here.

Skipped the Kraft Peanut Butter & Jam My Offer (buy 3 get 75 Airmiles) because the expiration date of the product was very poor.
Again the price was inflated $5.99 for a 500 g. jar.

Treated my 3 sons to some Tostitos & Lays Chips for 95 Airmiles.

I forgot to get a pie so I may just head up to the Country Market tomorrow afternoon and get one.

So that's it for me
95 Airmiles.

I got a whopping 100AM at Sobeys today. It should have been 115 but my loaded offer didn't work. Can't be bothered to call because when I do they never post the AM anyway.

I will finish up my weekly groceries tomorrow, no AM involved execpt for my stop in at Metro (2 cards $10each). I hope things improve next week.

anyone have any luck doing an airmiles shop at Lulu? Every time I try and go through the AM portal says device is offline. If I go regularly to Lulu it’s fine. Grr I would really like new pants and the bonus on kids AM card

 

[tinkerone]

Am I the only one who thinks AM's new slogan 'It's all gravy' is annoying? I don't know why but I do. And I keep hearing/seeing it, over and over.
Maybe I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today

Made it home safe and sound. We had a really nice time and I can't believe I'm home already. I have no complaints about the resort and I will continue to recommend it to friends but after our last trip to MX at a super lux resort I can't go back to the less fancy ones. That said though if this one came up for a steal of a price with all the upgrades that I had I would absolutely jump on it. We pretty much stayed in our own pool everyday...went to the beach only once. The beach is almost non existent there (wiped out by a hurricane) and I forgot about the vendors which were really annoying. They even come right up on the privilege area. I will say one of the nicest people we met was the beach butler. He was very funny and took time to hang out and chat with us. Dining was my big worry but most of the restaurants seated every second table and we dined early around 6:30-6:45 so there are a lot less people at that time. Only once did I feel like we were too close to the next table. I suspect that if you were dining at prime time, which is 8-9, that they were filling all the tables. Having to do the Covid test to get home was a bit stressful...all week I worried about getting a negative result and having the proper paperwork. Getting it done went smoothly...I booked an offsite company to come and do it. It was $100 cheaper, they came at the time I wanted and guaranteed the results by a certain time. The lab tech was permitted to use the same room that the resort does it's testing in which caused quite a commotion. Didn't everyone want to know why we were in the back corner getting it done and not in line with them. Of course there was that one woman that came charging over to ask. She was also Canadian and was furious that they claim to have been given incorrect info from the resort about testing. They were going home in less that 24hrs and were just getting the test that morning. Clearly her group did not do their own research as to what needed to happen to fly home. I checked probably 10 times before I left home to make sure I had all the details. Why on earth would you expect the resort to know what the Canadian government requires and allow them to handle it?

The very interesting part was Cancun airport. We could have gotten on the plane with no one checking our test results or ArriveCan receipt. If I had not stopped to ask an Air Canada agent where the priority line was I would not have been asked to show the documents. Had I seen the sign before seeing the agent we would have walked right up to the counter dropped our bags and gone to security. Even after arriving in Toronto we were not asked to show these docs. As usual YYZ needs to get it together.....I had the edeclaration app but the scanners were not working so everyone had to use the touch screens AND there was no cleaning of the screens. Of course after you manually do the declaration the machine tells you to save time and get the app. We got a nice CBSA agent...he asked the usual questions including what did you do while there. I say... swimming, sunning that sort of thing....he says and? DD very quickly says ... drinking. He then nods and says correct.

All in all it was a great trip but I'm happy to be home which rarely happens....I never want to come home. It was a very much needed break from reality. I think for me it was a good experience with what life is going to be like and a bit of what life used to be like. I got comfortable with not wearing a mask ALL the time and having strangers somewhat near me again. Interestingly, the places I thought were going to give me the most stress...the plane and the lines inside the airport ....were totally fine.

Now sadly....I going in to work tomorrow

Edit to add some of the prices were different at my store but the offer still works.

Similarly, this one that was in the Sep 23 flyer, but goes until Oct 27 is also a good AM deal- did this today again and got my 100 AM.

 

[ottawamom]

Might have to try that one on Tuesday. I do like the fibre 1 brownies for a little treat. DS would enjoy some of the pizza pops.

 

[Donald - my hero]

Putting this in both threads in case someone else who can take advantage of it only reads one of these!

I'm off to Metro to work a loophole that I wish I'd noticed last Thursday so I could have exploited it even MORE! Is it as good as pickle-palozza? NOPE but it's excellent for my dietary needs and it gives me MILES! If I'd been smart I would have been able to get the danged stuff for free using the cash miles over the weekend, oopsie

Buy 2 Natrel Lactose-free milk in the 2 L carton for $5.99 and get a free Lactose free butter or cheese snack use the Bonus Bust/Boom coupon for 20 miles . The coupon can be used as many times as you want, just once per transaction, so I'll be heading in and out of the store a few times today Yup, that's actually a decent price for that milk BTW

 

[bababear_50]

Looking over the Metro flyer and my new favorite type of cracker has Airmiles attached.
I do not even want to know how bad these crackers are for me....all I know is they don't seem to upset my stomach so I am going with that.
Buy 2 boxes for $4.00 get 15 Airmiles

Here are the pretzel ones I haven't tried yet.

[ottawamom]

Ok I looked it up and they are good for our diets (limit yourself to 10 at a time to minimize negative effects). I will be picking some up as well.

 

[hdrolfe]

Those pretzel ones look good!

Just took a peek at next weeks flyer...there seems to be a few things I think I can score.

1- Purex laundry detergent.
2- Pizza pops/granola bars - spend 25.00 and get 100 AM.

I was hoping to have a personal offer for a spend threshold...but nothing for personal offers. I hope I can score the purex before they run out. Our store never orders enough. I guess I'll have to ask for a raincheck - and make sure it adds the bonus miles with it as well.
