Just bought our airfare for Disney Nov 27-Dec 4 with air miles! So excited now that that task is done! I can't get over how much the miles have gone up for flights. 9,200 miles (with the 15% BMO discount) for two tickets (return is direct) and $426 taxes for two. I could have spend less miles and had a direct flight down as well, but we have to go to Disney Springs to get our vouchers converted at Guest Services. Plus, I like having a nice sit-down dinner at DS on arrival day.

I just booked 2 direct flights to Fort Lauderdale for late October returning mid November. It was 5018 AM's with the BMO discount and $291.36 for taxes for both tickets together. Can't beat that. I thought I should get it booked before the BMO changes come into affect. When I looked at what the price was on the airline web site it was over $1200.
The way down leaves at 10:30 which is perfect for us and the way back leaves at Noon, which again is perfect.
So excited! It's been 2 years since we traveled anywhere.

Airmiles sent me a email that I got 30 Airmiles plus a bonus 100 Airmiles for booking a Hotel at the Hilton in Niagara Falls,, hmmm

Isn't that the reservation you made but then decided to let them go without you? If you booked using Airmiles but paid cash they've had an almost constant promo going on that gives you a bonus on top of whatever the rate is. I did that in November when the kids came for hubby's 60th and got an extra 250 miles. Currently looking to book one for next month since the kids have decided to come down for a family wedding after all. Far too excited to see that baby bump!!!

I've been referring to him as Nugget! Still trying to pondering our names though, it's a hard thing to decide. Need to mindful of all of the names that are either currently in use, were recently used (our kids had all 4 grandparents and 3 greats when they were born) and the ones that were chosen by his other grandparents before she died suddenly.

I actually did a pretty decent miles haul this weekend.

I went to Safeway to pick up something quick for supper and have an at home movie night.

I hit the frozen pizza aisle - picked up 2 of the new stuffed crust pizzas, picked up 4 boxes of the magnum ice-cream treats. I had a personal offer for milk and a spend threshold. I ended up spending 56 and change, and 118 AM!!! I call that a win for us - since I don't typically purchase much there.

I'll keep watching to see what other deals I can scoop up. It's hard as we don't eat many of the things that seem to have miles attached to them MY waistline is very happy that we no longer have 8 bags of chips in the closet anymore lol

I was just popping in to mention that I got an email yesterday telling me that I had earned miles for a hotel stay. Ummmmm.....we stayed at that hotel and yes, earned miles, but that was maybe 4 years ago. Such a weird thing to happen. So far no additional miles added to my account.

Hi Hon
OK after a closer look mine was for
DoubleTree Fallsview Resort & Spa by Hilton Niagara Falls.
Now we haven't stayed there in over a year or more.
I did CHAT with Airmiles and asked if this was a real email or a fake email.?
They had me send the email to them and will let me know what they figure out.
I'll let you know what I hear.

I just went in to look at flights to see what the difference would be with BMO MC changes. It would cost me 712 more AM's today than it did a week ago. That's a big change.
Taxes and fees also increased by $57.32.
Some of this could be due to airline increases I suppose but I would bet it has more to do with BMOs change with AM.

 

[Etch]

My Shell offer the first 4 months this year was fill 3x (30L) for 100 AM with a bonus 50 AM for 4x. I was just able to get this all 4 times without too much effort.

My offer for May is fill 5x for 100am with a bonus 50 AM for 6x! No way I'm going to be able to pull that off.

 

[bababear_50]

Etch ..... wow 5 is really pushing it .
I stopped getting the Shell offer and don't know why.
I just switched the other day to getting my gas to Petro Canada and Esso.
My shopping and getting airmiles has grown very difficult ,,they are raising the amount you have to buy almost weekly.
Difficult times to be collecting Airmiles.
I will admit it seems easy to pick up Rexall Be Well points though.
Still hoping for a May Bonus Boom,,,,,,

I hear you Mel. I guess I should be happy with not being able to fuel up the car that much with the price of gas!

I started collecting Air Miles just because I have a preference for shopping at Sobeys anyways. There are several Shell stations close to me as well so that was also easy miles. My Amex air miles card plus the air miles shops/bonus boom fills in the rest. So I'll keep collecting them regardless but it's the bonus offers that are becoming harder to achieve. I used to be able to pull in around 700 miles on a good Blue Friday! Haven't been close to that in a long while.

Quick scan through the flyers and I think it's Metro for me this week.

OIKOS yogurts but 3packs @ 3 for $11.99 get =15 Airmiles
Phili cream cheese buy 2 @ 2 for $11.00 get =20 Airmiles
Mr Clean 1.33L buy 2 @ 4.49 each get =10 Airmiles

On my list is seedless water melon ,,,, red, yellow, orange peppers and they seem to be a reasonable in price at Metro.

Well people I did it. Today I received My Sobeys offers and once again I did not get any spend so many dollars get bonus miles. I sent them an email asking if they no longer offer this promo. We will see if they reply and what they reply. My Mom's card so far did not receive any offers but the third card did get a spend offer so I know that they are still doing this.
ps I have not received a spend offer since April 14th so I think I am due for one.
