Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[dancin Disney style]

I have new anxiety with people crowds and doing things but I felt ok. We are inside a restaurant but it was really well spaced out and I felt ok not great but ok.

Before going to Mexico I was freaking out about a lot of things but dining was pretty high on the list. I had no idea if tables were going to be spaced out or what was going to happen. The first day or two we were there I literally had my mask on EVERYWHERE. I would keep in on until our food was served and the waiter had walked away.....he would come back and I would put my mask back on. I'm sure the guy on the first night thought there was something wrong with me. I never got totally comfortable being indoors without a mask. Then there was the whole issue with touching things that other people had touched....doors, my diner plate

here's to reading flyers, keeping a running list of non-perishable items, having a goal to work towards (find it easier to collect when I know we'll be using the miles!!) and being so privileged that I am able to spend $300 in one trip to a grocery store. This haul is even more impressive when you notice it's from metro and after adding in the 60 miles coming from AMEX (1 mile/ $5 at stand alone grocery store)

I'm really close to having enough miles for a reward but just waiting on the August Bonus Boom 95 miles as well as a Staples bonus promotion (30x on Apple products). Any guesstimates as to when either of these might post? I think i remember that Staples usually takes a long time to post?

Just got this in an email from Airmiles and BMO promoting the upcoming Bonus Boom. BMO has an offer but looks like this is how the promotion is going to play out. Now we just need to see what those offers are

I am waiting to shop until Friday as I did notice the dates on the coupon. I am also hoping that I will get some Sobeys My offers by then. Both my card and my Mom's card haven't received any offers this week. I did get the generic ones on both cards.

Holy crap, anyone else nervous to see more details about the Bonus Boom Boost? I'm leaning towards needing to call it the Bonus Boom Burst! I shudder to think that they might be adding conditions for the number of partners we use, if they do there's ZERO chance that most of us will be able to complete the "big" offer for the peasly 800 miles --need to use EIGHT coupons?! Looking at the graphic @ottawamom shared there doesn't look to be any incentive to do offers, 4 = 400 miles, 6 = 600 miles & 8 = 800 miles. I was hoping to see at least 1,000

Now's a good time to switch your earning preference if you don't collect cash miles since these promos tend to have offers for using cash miles, I just put mine to 20/80 so I have enough to do one offer on both cards. Doubt I'll be able to complete one never mind both.


For those who like to shop online the categories at Amazon are my favourite this month! "Home" is included and i think about 80% of what I order falls under that category. I'm hoping to see a BBB offer for that.

I just can't figure out why they would hold off doing a Bonus boom so late into Nov when everyone is saying shop early?
Them saying offers sounds a lot better than them saying partners.
I am not sure I use more than Sobeys, Foodland, Metro and Shell as Partners.

Christmas used to be my Rona/Rexall/LCBO Airmiles go to.

I skipped my Metro/BMO offer last week because I felt it was a tad bit dishonest.
I was all ready to shop when I clicked on the T&C.
It was a BMO spend 40$ get 40Airmiles,,,,. However if you looked at the Terms & Conditions the $40 had to be spent on Irresistible products.
Nope not for me.

" Well your Honor it is like this"
Finally Airmiles is holding an event that is worth more than 95 Airmiles and I NEED to be part of it!
I respectfully ask that you release me from Jury duty to meet my Airmiles obligation. PLEASE!!

Regards
Mel

We got an email tonight. After personal information of what we have in points, there was this offer:

So, I clicked to opt in. And this is the message I got.

Not impressed, airmiles....not impressed.

 

[hdrolfe]

I have to say, I think that big bonus is going to be tricky! The past few bonus booms haven't really had a lot of different partners as offers. I guess we'll see.

I got the same offer but mine is $200. I was wondering what kinds of places qualify. I read the terms and it looks like beer and liquor stores might. I could get a GC for our favourite breakfast place when we go next time...



I just went to opt in and the same thing happened to me. My offer email was for $200 yet when I clicked on the link it went to the 150AM for $150. Entered my AM # etc and it said I didn't qualify. Then ... why send me the email. I will call them about this tomorrow between loads of laundry.

Was your son actually at the Hyatt?
I belong to a few different chat groups for Mexico. There are members that live in that area and are saying that it was not what the media reported. I don't really know but for the most part those incidents are usually incorrectly reported up in these parts.

Im worried this will be challenging but I like how it says offers and not sponsors ..hopefully we can get and use a few for our grocery stores and shell. Hopefully
