Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ilovetotravel1977]

Since I will be away Nov 27-Dec 4, I have already started my online shopping with AM Shops. I can't wait until I return to start as who knows what supplies will be like, and then of course, the shipping being slow. I have gotten some good deals though, plus the 7x miles, so all is not lost.

I’m waiting to see what Black Friday brings. My email is full of pre-black Friday sales and they are Meh.. unfortunately most of what the kids want are electronics so I may be out of luck with getting any airmiles.
I haven’t even looked at scene . I’m pretty much done shopping at foodland unless emergencies , it’s just too expensive .
I just went to the dollar store and bought candy for work as a treat Christmas “rainbow bells” from McCormick literally if anyone can’t find cough drops, that’s what they taste like so so strong. Not pleasant at all lol I don’t even think the kids will eat them it’s like listerine or crest or vicks I don’t even know ha ha
Hope everyone is having a great Monday

Well this was a nice surprise to see, not quite sure how the math worked out though, shouldn't it be a multiple of 10? And is this for all the partners or just metro? The 40 will be from the suitcase for buying Irresistible products.

this is quite interesting. I also just got a +40 AM at Metro but have no recollection of getting that suitcase. As well as a +36 for 10X but again, I don't think that's from Metro. Odd. But I will take the AM! now 76 closer to Onyx

Do you have fb? What about joining a local fb group for pet boarding. It might be another option to find someone to come check on her or have her stay with them. You are NOT...NOPE...NOT going to rebook that trip without you going on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Um NO!!!! NO NO NO!!!! I will come from Alberta with inhalers my prescription benadryl to take care of that little cutie, before you cancel your trip to stay home with her!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was just coming to say that. We're a small village and when people need a pet/house sitter, our local FB group is where the names come from.

I just checked, and I got just over 100 points. It seems that when DD shopped Metro last week, this was triggered. Yeah for the girl!

I am loving all the detailed updates. I have a huge cake eating grin on my face reading all your posts!!!! It is great to hear things seem to be turning around and she is finding her little niche and settling in! I wish her nothing but the most amazing memories from this...and I wonder what doors will open because of her doing this!

You know...I'm having fun sharing with everyone here. Disney lovers are a special circle and others outside the circle don't get it. Things certainly have turned around and in a big way. They are really bonding as a group and having fun together. They completed safety training today and everyone passed. It was a very short day for them...finished and back to the hotel by noon. So they met in the lobby at 1pm and all went to AK. I don't know the details yet but they were getting in on 'maingates'.....she is even speaking the language now. She is clearly having a blast because she is torturing me with pics all afternoon. Then she makes a comment about how much fun it is being in the park with other people that love Disney.....I'm like, EXCUSE ME! Who am I? The reply was....you know what I mean, we are CM's.

She got her itinerary today for the next leg of this trip...travel back to Toronto. They get a limo pick up from the airport to take them to their hotel downtown. It's a residence hotel in the entertainment district and is literally across the street from their rehearsal space. I thought this was interesting....there is a mandatory testing and masking protocol. They test upon arrival to the hotel and then again every morning before rehearsal. Masks are required for all portions of travel...air/bus/limo etc. and for some rehearsals.

LOL....I sent a warning today for her to share about the weather this week. Snow in the forecast for their arrival on Thursday. I don't know where everyone is from but I hope they are prepared for winter.

On the AM front...
I got my second Metro 10X for a total of 82 miles....I am 99% sure I only shopped there once. Plus the 95 from that email a couple weeks ago....it was spend $50/75 or $70/95. I also had the Carousel one for spend $40/100 but that has not posted yet. When the last one posts I'm going to be at 387 miles for a $105 spend. Now if Metro could kindly keep these promos going it would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I redeemed 9000ish miles in September for my trip to Punta Cana and have already earned back over 5000 of those miles. Had I known that would happen I would have redeemed more.

I got 9AM for the 10X AM from Metro but I also got 75AM. The 75 AM were from an email offer I had from week of October 27th. (spend $50 get 75AM)

I haven't seen any AM from the suitcase offers yet.

Anyone else feverishly doing the math to see if the current Max Pass offering is actually worth shelling money out for? I'm checking everything in my wish list to see if anything falls into an allowed category or not. I think I could earn a whack of miles when this is combined with the Black Friday offer they're hinting at in this email
Check THIS WEBPAGE for details

DANG -- don't take as long as I did to consider this - the 40x passes are already sold out - I broke down and got one for 20x

Mocha's not impressed that I'm using the computer after being gone all day -- HOW RUDE of me

I don't have the email.....I would buy the max pass again. Even though I messed up on that the last time it turned out to be worth while.

Thanks...I just got one. I have a bit of a list going for Amazon so hopefully some items will be included.

 

[Donald - my hero]

Here's the list for easy reference for those of us who will be doing some clicking next weekend

 

[bababear_50]

The only thing left on my Christmas list is a Foldable cat carrier ,, Air filter ,,, and a few Pet toys. I wish Amazon covered more things.
Oh well
Good luck to those using the MAX PASS ,,scoop up those Miles.

Metro
In the news
https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/top...pc=U591&cvid=0837e8a8db4d494eb112ce1c76904c39

"La Flèche's comments come as Metro reported its fourth-quarter profit fell compared with a year ago as it took a $60-million charge related to the company's decision to have its Jean Coutu drugstore chain withdraw from the Air Miles loyalty program next year."

Moving forward the only place I am consistently getting AM is from Metro. DH often finds gas cheaper at other gas stations as we don't often make the 3 fill ups threshold in a month to generate the 50AM bonus at Shell.

Not a huge fan of online shopping through AM shops so I think I'll be out of collecting once I have spent all the AM I have stashed away. It was fun while it lasted. One positive I have taken away from it all is that I have become a much more careful shopper (reading the flyers and knowing my prices for things)

 

[hdrolfe]

The 3 or 4 fill ups at Shell is just not possible for me, I barely get gas once a month. I do go to Shell for my one or two AM but that's it. Metro is it, or online shopping which doesn't always work.

Freshco had a radio commercial this morning and they have scene+ now so perhaps I'll shop there? Their prices are better.

Be thankful. I’ve driven to Brampton twice already this week and big kids ones how today and back up Sunday.
And kicker if this all instead of simply mandating masks or trying any migration efforts he was just informed second semester is “hybrid “ only labs in person. And it was announced the day after final residence payment was due .. oof
