Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Strange, I have yet to receive an email about the upcoming Bonus Boom Boost, so I know nothing about it. I seem to not be receiving some of the more interesting emails from them, even though I am still receiving airmiles emails.

Melanie, BMO®† is getting ready to help give your AIR MILES Reward Miles balance a boost with this upcoming Bonus Boom™ Boost offer – from November 18 to December 27, 2021.

​ Don’t forget, the more Bonus Boom Boost offers you use, the more Miles you get! Use 4 offers, get 400 Bonus Miles Use 6 offers, get 600 Bonus Miles Use 8 offers, get 800 Bonus Miles3 Plus… Every offer used counts as an entry to win 1 MILLION Miles.3 Plus, PLUS… Get 5x the entries just for having a BMO AIR MILES credit card!3​

This is the only email I've gotten from BMO / Airmiles and it only arrived tonight.
I've finished my Xmas shopping so no spend 500 $ get 125 Airmiles for me.(plus it's a crappy offer in my opinion).

Hugs Mel

I'm on 2 bars of gas and need more than that but don't want to put too much in until BBB starts.

I am trying to hold off on buying anything right now before the BBB starts ,,, but I want to start the Grinch Village this weekend and needed some buffalo snow so I popped into Michaels today,,, WOW slim pickings....I asked and they said we had a big Christmas sale last week and are now low on stock. I mean it didn't even feel christmasy in there. She said they have orders but no idea when and if they will get them.
Get to Michaels if you need something early.
They had 3 bags of cinnamon scented pinecones left!!
I also hit up Dollar Tree and it was BUSY!!!!

Mel

Agreed! I went to Michael’s last night and felt the same way. It seemed they had way less Christmas stuff than previous years.

I guess the AM gods heard my mini complaint. I got a BMO offer to spend $50 at Sobeys (and a couple of other stores) and earn 75 miles. So I hit up Sobeys this morning and spent $53 on cleaning supplies for work. All of which had instore AM offers so my tally came to 127 +75 miles and my OOP is zero. LOL....I own the business so it still comes out of my pocket but those are my business pockets not my personal pockets. The boss (me) said it was okay to make the purchase for the miles cuz the staff (also me) gets the miles.

 

[bababear_50]

I just got a call back from Airmiles
My miles got posted in my cash account!! 285 Compliments of Airmiles ,,,they didn't take them out of Dream!!
Yeah!!
Thanks Luna.

Just took some time to get the thread started for B3 (gonna see if I can figure out the BB code for B to the power of 3 ) It's rather sparse right now but this way I can pick away at it until it launches on Thursday

It's the people who believe the one way signs on the floors no longer matter that drive me insane. Just look down, the arrow will direct you!!!

I have noticed that there are no more arrows in my Sobeys store and the same for other stores I have been in lately. I still follow the arrow direction that I know used to be there.

Got this email today. Now to Dec 31 Onyx collectors get 3x AM on AirMileshops.
Starting Nov 19: 15x on AirMileshops.
could be a good haul if there’s also a BBB offer. Fingers crossed and get your lists ready.

 

[Donald - my hero]

just added the above info regarding online shipping to the B3 thread, gold members get 2x as well. I'll be updating the thread with some historical info regarding multipliers but I think the 15x is fairly decent. I think last year's was 20 on black Friday/ cyber Monday weekend but I'll need to confirm

yes about the fact that a lot of people have decided that covid-19 is not worth the effort of following public health measures anymore. Currently on the GO train headed home from Toronto and OMG so many very well protected chins in subway and streetcars if you get my drift!! No seats blocked off on the train anymore either, I can't wait to get off!!

the offers for B3 are up on the website and I'm thrilled with the fact that I should easily complete this on at least one card, possibly both!

my favourite is that the online threshold of 100 can be split between two stores!!!!!

I'll work on that thread later today but here's the link to take a peek at the offers and start opting in, carefully checking the terms/ dates of each offer and making lists

There is talking on "that other AM fb group " about a new sponsor. I wonder who it will be. I went back in my timeline to take a snap...and I couldn't find it. I'll go back and search again and post it if I find it.
