Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Guess who just booked a 3 day stay at the Contemporary with 2 day park hopper passes, and then a 3 day cruise on the Wish in Sept. '23? I was watching some Disney cruise vlogs the other day and asked DH what he thought about it. He said it sounded good. The next thing I knew, I was emailing our TA and booked it all. We're still saving our air miles for a Mediterranean cruise in 2024 (or so), so this will be out of pocket.

Sometimes I surprise the heck out of myself.

After listening to approximately 85 podcasts about the Wish - I’m tempted too. Still haven’t watched a video (no spoilers! Ha!) but it sounds wonderful. Maybe I’ll get on one of the upcoming new ships if they end up on the West coast. It’s just so dang convenient to take a 15 min train ride to the port

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)

The one via email that you had to opt in for had different terms and conditions. Normally they do not show on the receipt and will probably take loner to post. I believe the one bababear_50 is referring to is an app one, those do show on the receipt.

Sorry Ottawamom
crazy day here...
anyhow I log into my Metro account online to see my offers and if at work I'd use the app.
So yes I checked the receipt and the 50 airmiles did post.
I do like that Metro does the email a copy of the receipt.

Hugs
Mel

When our Foodland had the fire (and no chance of reopening until the new year ) my airmiles collection dripped to nothing. I'm 1600 away from Onyx and definitely will not make that this year-especially since we are away for one month. Even though DD will be home, she doesn't spend much at all, so that month will be a total washout, with the only AMs being added will be the couple I get from my insurance, and maaaaybe a couple from Shell.

Airmilesshops Mix and Max Question.

I've shopped at 3 stores and spent over $150 and received the 100 airmiles for shopping at 2 stores over $100. If I repeat a store and am over $250, do you think I'll quality for the shop at 3-4 stores, spend over $250 and receive 375 airmiles? So basically, 3 stores but 4 transactions.

Any thoughts?

Thanks @bababear_50, according to this I "should" be ok since I'll have shopped at 3 different stores and cumulatively spent over $250. I guess it will depend on whether the system is smart enough to add my Old Navy purchases together or just counts Old Navy once.

I'll hold off ordering and try airmiles customer service tomorrow when they reopen. Thank you again.

YUP, that will most definitely work! It's easy to see on my account because other than a couple of shops at Metro, that's all I've done on that card, have a look at how it posted. I've only included the online transactions, but obvious that I did multiple transactions to get to my final total of 505 (EXACTLY) - both Well .ca and Jamieson had multipliers going so I only did one transaction at each of those but 2 lines of postings. The second Amazon was to force the 1st bonus to post and the second Staples transaction was to force the final bonus to post. SO -- i completed 7 transactions over 5 stores to complete the promo, there's no need for you to connect with Airmiles, I ALWAYS end up doing this during these promos, so long as you trigger 1 mile to post you're fine because there is no minimum spend per transaction. Happy shopping!!

****Edited because I have no idea how i screwed up a simple cut and paste to leave out the final posting, let's try again!

OH-EM-GEE the number of included categories on Amazon is great this month, so many things that sit inside my wishlist just waiting are included finally!

So, I'm bowing to the person who knows much much more than me on the subject, would Luggage tags fit under the Luggage category do you think? I'm looking specifically at these ones...
https://www.amazon.ca/American-Tour...g&qid=1662231626&sprefix=lugg,aps,100&sr=8-51
It's something to put in the Christmas boxes for my children and I'm fence sitting. I believe we get tags mailed to us for booking a package at Disney but these are so cute.

I was able to pick up a few of those Compliments salad dressing. Thanks Jacqueline.
Just make sure you double check the expiry date on the bottle. Caesar ,Blue Cheese, Coleslaw and Cucumber are great as fresh veggie dips.
I was able to get summer 2023 ones.

I would say NO , here's what it falls under (sure you looked but this explains my thinking)

It says it falls under "Clothing, Shoes & Accessories" the final word is "luggage Tags" and that's not listed on Sept's included list.
Luggage is included but it seems that the only thing i can get to trigger the actual word "Luggage" is just straight up suitcases - look at this example, still starts under Clothing but ends up actually saying Luggage
Confusing Amazon Categories, is it or is it NOT Included?!

***Edited to add, even if you do book a package they no longer mail things out to CDN's you would need to ask when you check in***

Thank you so much for your answer. I knew you could help me break it down.
Sad that they don't mail anything now but not surprising. We haven't had a package with Disney in ....5 years? We had been doing a single night then off to Universal. This time it will be a package for everyone. Oh well, no big deal. They weren't the best tags but they were something. I still have several from years and years ago.
Again, thank you for looking at this for me.
