Airmiles Armchair Chatter

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.

Agree I was thinking the same thing.

I don't think airmiles understands the concept of self-care a vacuum isn't gonna lift my mood!View attachment 645979

I am very lucky, my dh doesn't get me those types of gifts. BUT I have had to talk to a brother-in-law who seemed to think that. A gift that someone uses to " work" around the house is NOT a gift. If I ask for it as a gift then...yes. I hope I have drilled that into my ds's heads. I will knock them silly if they give their significant others gifts that create work.

I don't know, my parents gave me their old Dyson when they recently upgraded (the one they gave me is cordless, a V10) and it is sooooo nice. I hate to vacuum but this thing makes it almost enjoyable. Even better when I bought two extra filters for it since it kept clogging up and not making it through the whole house (4 cats and a dog). This is the second Dyson they have gifted me when they upgraded, but the last one still had a cord and is big and clunky, but this new one is amazing. Can't wait until they upgrade again! The one they got now has lasers or something...

I'm planning on starting up a mini bonus boom/ bust thread this afternoon. Looks like it might be worth the effort to attempt it on one card since the big bonus isn't just 95 miles this time but can possibly be as much as 400 if I'm able to spend $300 over the 2 week period (doubtful but who knows, I can always grab some Netflix gift cards at Shell to get that bonus) I can probably do at least 3 offers.

Normally I think the same as you. However, about 10 years ago DH got me a Dyson for Christmas and I still love it. It’s a great vacuum and an improvement from what we had so I love having a good one.

Dyson... the only vacuum accepted as a suitable present lol.

I started the Bonus Boom/Bust Thread so that we can get started planning.

Putting my Mom Hat on here, WAIT IT OUT, no racing to the finish line only to discover that offers aren't truly working yet (looking at you Shell!!) because I can't remember any of these promos launching successfully.

Some of the offers are in the app already as mentioned above and you can activate them from there - I've already opted into the Mastercard threshold spend so I don't forget. I'll try to stay on top of things but still wandering around in a bit of a fog.

Side note -- Good grief what's up with Sobey's Blue Bonus this week? I mean who will buy EIGHT bags of chips for a total cost of $22 to get a $10 return???

Filled up the car at Shell. The Bonus Boom coupons posted to my account but the 1 or 2 AM for the fillup didn't. Do I contact Shell directly or go through AM. It's only 4 AM max is it even worth the time or is it just a quick call

Anyone with experience?

Sometimes Shell has been a solve problem just via Airmiles CHAT but last week I was missing 20 and they refused to add them manually.
I say give it a try...sorry I can not be of more help.

I just got an email that I was one of the winners of the Airmiles Cineplex Odeon contest! 3-movie rentals worth $10 each. I think there might be lots of winners? I think 1000 people? Anyone else here?

I have to make 5 purchases before Feb 22 to get 20AM. Maybe I'll ignore that one and hope for something bigger next time.

That’s brutal. is that the worst one we’ve seen?

 

[ottawamom]

It has actually been doable. I needed to pick up a few things at Rexall (1), Rexall was out of milk so I popped into the grocery store next door and got that (2), pet store for some dog bowls for DS (3), Shell for gas last night (4), I'll stop at the grocery store for something else over the weekend (5).

Easy part was they didn't have to be at partners and I was making those purchases anyway. But yes it is very poor.

Just thinking about past Mega Miles Events and wondering if Airmiles might do one this Year
It was sometimes held in March /April.


Bonus Boom is getting a bit old/tired for me.

Agree! Too much effort for a small portion of Mega Miles or Shop the Block bonus miles!!
