Airmiles Armchair Chatter

My sister made a big rewards purchase this week as she got into the 21st century and bought herself a Samsung Galaxy FE 20 phone. She is finally giving up her flip phone and yup everybody laughs at her since she works for the phone company.
She was so excited as they just became Onyx last December so it was less miles than before. Now we build her miles up again.

I can do one better.

I still have my original flip phone,.....AND one of the early versions of blackberry phones with the rollerball!!!!!!! We have a box of phones, that I haven't parted with yet. I think I will hang onto them yet for awhile.

NOPE, I'm fairly confident that I win the old phone game gang!! I still have an old bag phone that only worked if it was connected to the cigarette lighter and the car was running! That thing is massive and could be used as a boat anchor

you poor people driving Vans and SUV's.
My little compact Blue Belle just took a big fill up gulp of 50$ and that's with two bars of gas in it.
I can only imagine what SUV's and Vans are paying.
Another reason to retire. lol

I've got a small SUV with a 70L tank. It's in need of gas right now but I'm hanging on for the weekend for AM. Thankfully, work is only 2km away and really right now there is no place to go anyway. I fill up about every 3-4 weeks. I've been looking at buying a new car for a while and right at the moment I'm glad I didn't.....I've been looking at a bigger SUV that only takes premium.

mine is for Thrifty Foods - spend 95 get 25 — of course as my dad says, “thrifty foods is an ironic name” seems like they are thrifty in their AM generosity too

(Truth is: I love TF - and used to work there in college - and loved working for the company before they were sold to Sobeys - not sure what it’s like now lol)

Can anyone help me interpret this offer from Metro?

Is it just for using 95 AMs for $10, one time, and get 25 AM back?

Or could I spend 475 AMs for $50 in one transaction and get 125 AM back?

Thanks for any insights!

Metro specifically is usually a once per day kind of store, so you will only get credit for 95AM cash +25AM once per day. After reading the terms and conditions it is only once per offer period. You can redeem more than 95Cash miles but you won't get more than 25 AM in return.

That's my interpretation of it anyway.

When will B3 miles be posted to account?

 

[ottawamom]

Should be sometime within the next two weeks if past posting of the year end promo is any indicator. These are different times so it may be longer this year.

I don't think airmiles understands the concept of self-care a vacuum isn't gonna lift my mood!

Marketers ALWAYS do that! One of the ads for Mothers Day last year was like "Treat your Mom" ... to a vacuum. Sigh.

Wanted to flag that some Bonus Boom offers are now showing on the app!

 

[ottawamom]

I hope there are more offers than those in the App. If not I don't think I will be doing this promotion this go round.
