Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[bababear_50]

Just checking with people who have more experience with Airmiles online shopping.
Ordered a set of Laura Ashley sheets from Amazon.
Do you think they would be eligible for Airmiles Mix & Match?

I'm thinking not.

Thanks

Not this month but perhaps in September when the categories change. So long as your order hasn't shipped yet you can cancel it and then wait a few days to see if they qualify. You have to earn at least 1 mile from a store and in this case only the products that fit Amazon categories count towards the dollar value for Mix and Match.

Is that answer confusing enough for you ?

I just went to Shell today for gas and the cashier said that Shell will be remaining under the AM program. Their storefront is a Needs, so if you buy anything in Needs, that gets Scene+ points. I'm happy about this!

Got it. Had to have a cup of coffee to sort it out.
Sheets are a gift and they have already been shipped and delivered. Oh well,,, she loves them and heads off to University next week.

Thanks Hon

I got an email from Airmiles about an offer at Metro. Spend $50 get 50AM. There were a few more things I needed for the week so off I went (after opting in of course). The AM didn't show up on my receipt. Terms and Conditions don't say anything about them showing up or not on the receipt.

I'm so rusty with AM and a little paranoid at the moment. It's normal for these AM not to show up on a Metro receipt isn't it? I don't know what shows up automatically and what doesn't anymore.

You'll be happy to know that Scene+ points post within days of the transactions.

I did the same offer and no miles on my receipt. In my experience the miles are usually on the receipt unless it states otherwise.

I'm looking for information on the Mix and Match offer. I can't find it on the AM site, is it over? I didn't pay attention because I thought I wouldn't need anything and here I am, spending spending spending.
Anyone have a link or information? Thanks.

I hope I can at least have one card make it to Onyx this year. Went to Sobeys to get the GCs. Then donated 12 boxes of pancake mix (6 for 95AM). Got an offer of spend $20 get 100 AM from Metro. Taking pics of all related info just in case I need to chase later. Definitely going to get this deal! After this, I will be about 500 short from 5000 AM for Onyx. It’s all time low for AM harvest this year!

I'm looking into a Western Mediterranean cruise for 2024. Right now we have $2900 (almost enough for 1 full fare, balcony mini club) in Air Miles available with Red Tag. The cruise (NCL) leaves out of Rome (Civitavecchia), and now that West Jet flies direct to Rome it's much easier to get there. If I keep saving air miles and West Jet dollars (plus a companion voucher) until spring '23, it'll put a nice dent in the out of pocket costs.

That is my ultimate plan. Use the AM for a cruise OR tickets for one of the parks for a family trip. We also have the WJ companion fares as well. We still have one set to book before Oct when they expire and we get a new one. Dh and I discussed this weekend about using them for a quick turn and burn to go to a Nascar race yet this fall somewhere - maybe Vegas. I'm doing some research and pricing for different races that are left yet.

I ate inside a restaurant two days ago for the first time since 2020 ..... We will get there.

Yay!!!!! That's progress.

Good Morning!

I think this may have been mentioned before, but a word of warning about redeeming air miles for attraction tickets. I redeemed for 4 universal Hollywood tickets on Aug. 20. It said on the confirmation email that I would receive the e-vouchers within 2 business days. I haven’t received them, so called air miles today. They said they haven’t received the tickets from the supplier yet (travelbrands), probably because my tickets aren’t needed until November (had to select a date for the ticket when purchasing). They didn’t seem concerned about it all. I don’t understand why they say 2 business days when it obviously is not 2 business days. They lady I spoke with said maybe in a couple weeks. I’m not impressed. I wanted to have everything in order before Fall and getting busy with kids activities/school. With all the changes to air miles, I’m not sure if I will keep collecting after this trip. I only have around 1,000 miles left to redeem.

I'm sorry to hear you're having these problems! I received mine right away and we are travelling mid-October. I think there are previous threads around where other posters had success contacting TravelBrands or RedTag directly to have the vouchers sent. Our voucher came from "Ticketing" and Redtag directly, not AirMiles, less than 24 hours after redeeming our miles.

Thanks for the info! If I don’t get them in 2 weeks I’ll try contacting travelbrands/redtag directly

They just emailed me the tickets! Not so painful after all! Yay!

Ordered my microwave for store pick up around 11 this morning. Picked it up at 1. Just checked and the 4 AM for the purchase, and the 375 for completing the mix and match have posted!

I was supposed to go to Metro today but ugh, it is so hot and rainy and gross. Maybe tomorrow. I have some spend $75 get AM email and that shouldn't be hard to do with the back to school lunches for next week.

 

[bababear_50]

Two purchases

Amazon:
Kitty scratch post= $47.99 before taxes
I am assuming this falls under the
***** Pet Food & Supplies**** listed under Amazon




Staples:
Original order cancelled and changed to
Canon Ink Cartridge
McDonald K cups
=$53.43 before taxes
===================
Total for 2 online shops $101.42
so only 100 Mix & Match Airmiles
but it's all I really need right now.

That's it for me

I have done 4 so far but only 3 have posted so I have earned the 375. I know Chapters will be the 5th one but don't know if I will do another one since the Staples one hasn't posted yet and it has been a couple of weeks and I don't know if I want to fight for it. Chapters will be gift cards and a book and I do have a back up plan of a new am/fm portable radio for my bedroom at the cottage from the Source. (and I get a discount from there from being a past employee).
Oh and I just checked my transactions for the year and I have hit 6350 so I made Onyx for this year. The other card hasn't and probably won't but at least 1 will be for another year.
