Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[hdrolfe]

I only have 2778 AM so far this year, though I do have another 80 or so to post (from Metro last week). I am not sure I'll make Onyx this year and it makes me a bit sad to be honest... perhaps there will be some good deals coming out? ha ha ha... Oh I do miss the good old Rexall days.

Early look at Metro Ontario
https://flyers.smartcanucks.ca/canada/metro-on-flyer-september-1-to-72/all

Villaggio bread & buns

Hoping for some good deals at Sobeys & Foodland.....come on Airmiles throw us a bone here.

After looking at this weeks flyers I think I'll go today and pick up another $150.00 GC for future grocery shops.(100 airmiles).
Tomorrow I'll check my offers but right now it looks like maybe some plastic baggies is about it for me.

Ok, trying to use the Mix & Match for some extra miles. How does it work to buy Chapters GC? Are they virtual or hard copy ones (thinking ahead for gifts)…

I have bought both. Virtual they email out to you or your recipient and the physical ones they mail them out via Canada Post.

Question
Buying gas & or products at Shell with a Shell Gift Card.
Rep told me today via phone call that I will not get airmiles doing this?
Thoughts?

Your cat scratcher will definitely count for miles this month. We came home from seeing Arthur to discover that the cat sitter introduced Mocha to the great outdoors she's been screaming at the front door ever since so I finally broke down and bought a harness from Amazon. The miles were in my account within hours! She's thrilled to actually go outside
I wasn't paying attention the other day so she sat quietly waiting for about 10 minutes

She loves her adventures

My Mix & Match just posted

MIX AND MATCH
+100

 

[kuhltiffany]

Ok, Chapters card bought. Now we need to buy a new MacBook, does anyone remember if Apple usually has any multiplyer deals on the long weekend?

 

[AngelDisney]

I have earned 4967 AM so far this year. It’s going to be hard to stay Onyx after Sobeys is gone. I can make it this time because of the GC bonus offers. Hope to be able to take advantage of the Onyx status and use my AM for flights in the summer next year.

They sometimes do but read the fine print. They exclude some items- usually the newest models.

Thursday shop
I got a spend 50$ get 50 Airmiles at Metro.
So I go to Metro and get 13 pkgs of TP on sale for $3.99 each
BUT WOA WAIT
The cashier has to call me out in a very loud voice telling me MAM YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!!!Mam You can't do that!!!!
Uh sorry are you speaking to me?
6 IS THE LIMIT!!! Oh can you tell me why, I didn't see a sign saying there was a limit.
WELL IT IS WAS 2 PER PERSON!!
Oh ok.
I turn to go put the product back and she start yelling at me again to just bring the cart through the line and she'll put the product away.
Uh sorry I'm not ready to check out now.

Go back and put some of the product away and choose some other things.
Go to self check out and a nice young man insists on helping me..............
Yeah ................................ tapped my card before I read the total....... 49.95
NO AIRMILES>>>>>
Time for a coffee Break.
That's not the end of the story..................
I then drove 5 minutes away to another Metro and
this happened....
back in a minute.....................

OK new Metro store,,I spot some other things I need and then grab 8 pkgs of the TP.
Go through self check out ,,,, again a nice lady offers to check me out,,,,question here why are they doing this when it's self check out,,,,,ok I say but I have a limit and have to spend $50,,, She says oh your Airmiling,, Yep I say and I know I have 2 too many TP. No she says there's no limit on the TP,,hasn't been one is months.

Oddly they aren't included within luggage, that seems to be just suitcases. Packing cubes come up like this - but notice i bought them last night and clothing, shoes & accessories were included in August! OH and I didn't pay this much, they were a 1 day sale item and should be at my door soon according to the app. (NO, i didn't order thru the app but i do use that to track my orders) ALSO -- it is worth noting that most of my crafty type things come up under Kitchen!

 

[tinkerone]

Okay, experts needed.
I have two offers for Metro.
1)

75 Bonus Miles​

Spend $50+ on almost anything in-store* Ends September 7 , 2022. *Terms apply.​

2)

75 Bonus Miles​

Spend $50+ on almost anything in-store* Ends September 7 , 2022. *Terms apply.​

Are these two different offers? I'm confused.

 

[bababear_50]

Hi Tinkerone
I am wondering if one is a *Metro Personal Offer *(Metro.ca offer) & the other is a Metro Email offer?
You could try calling Metro help line and asking

Metro Help Center

Need to talk to us?

You're almost there another 33AM to go to get ONYX this year. New threshold is 5000AM for 2022.

Did the 50 AM show up automatically on your receipt? Trying to decide how long I need to wait before following up on the ones that didn't post on my receipt last week. They didn't automatically post to the account yet either (often these things take a few weeks with AM and Metro)
