Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Scene+/Atlantic Canadian here.

FYI- Scene+ points post much sooner than Air Miles. If I do a shop at Sobeys on Saturday, my points are posted within a few days to my account.

Hi Hon
That is good to know, thanks for sharing.

Well look at what email I received today. It seems Save-On will be doing AM!!! I do pick up things there often as it is super close to work and their produce is the best quality in town


This is great for us in the west. I'm not sure that Save-On is in the east

I got this too. We can double dip with regular Save On Points plus AirMiles for paying with MasterCard.

I approve. I very much dislike save on’s store organization compared with Thrifty Foods or Safeway. But it’s a short walk - so at least it could be another AM sponsor within walking distance.

A little while back we were discussing an email offer for Metro which was spend $50 get 50 that did not show up on the receipt. I'm pretty sure I got those 50 miles today. There was nothing else I was waiting for from Metro.

I got my 25 AM for the spend offer at Metro. It always takes longer for those offers to post.

This is freakin’ quick notice to pull Safeway from AM. Also, funnily enough, Thrifty’s is staying (not mad at all! Although, admittedly Thrifty’s is an ironic name and pretty pricey…so I try to limit my shopping there)

Excerpt from AM email:

As you may have already heard, Sobeys and its affiliated banners in Western Canada (Safeway, Sobeys Liquor, Safeway Liquor, Western Cellars and IGA West), and select Ontario stores are no longer participating in the AIR MILES® Reward Program as of September 22, 2022—which means the last day you can redeem and earn in those stores is September 21, 2022. Rest assured, you can continue to take advantage of other endless opportunities across our program, including getting and using AIR MILES Reward MilesTMat Thrifty Foods Grocery.

I am so glad that I can still collect AM at Thrifty's! Vancouver Island was going to be an AM desert otherwise!

Yeah, it's slim over here too - Shell and TF

I got a spend at 3 sponsors get 125AM for my BMO MC this week. And the list was brutal. I managed to be driving by a Safeway in another suburb so popped in for a bottle of water. And then Shell and TF - but yeah, I don't need to rent a car every week ... and I don't have a pet for that Global Pet Foods lol

I managed to pull off the 125AM for under $20. I'll take it. lol

We are an AM desert up here (Prince George). All we have now is Shell. Lots of opportunity for card-linked offers but that's only if you have the MC.

Yes, especially now that Save On Foods had been added as a card linked offer now. Helps a little.

For the Mix and Match offer, what was the middle offer again? 3-4 partners, $XXX = 375 miles?

So weird but airmiles took 275 miles from me and then gave it back to me after I did my third shop.

 

[bababear_50]

Wow...such high thresholds

I'll have to do a little thinking and digging. My offer is similar. I am needing a new fall coat, shoes and pants for work. I might be able to squeeze it out. But in all honesty, I try to spread the spending out over a length of time. But I might bite the bullet anyways as I am in need of a few things again and most of it can't wait.

sorry I didn't include the full details in my image but the promo has already ended I didn't get a targeted one, this was the Mix & Match event so if you got an email offer it would be best to check your terms.

Currently there's a 7X sitewide multiplier and several stores have their own so you can max the miles available. Personally i still go by the rule of 1:1 ratio AND dollar will always be the top criteria for anything we buy. If I can also get miles that's a bonus but if I can find the same item cheaper elsewhere then I will buy it there.
