Thanks! Was waiting for this detail! It’s not as exciting the way they are doing it but 250 bonus miles on my blender redemption is better than 0!

And Metro leaves with a big fizzle. The only offer I have this week is the in-app offer of $1 off 24 bottles of water. I was going to go to Metro this afternoon but maybe I'll wait until tomorrow and see if the offer posted above works. I was planning on using 190 Cash AM anyway.

Where did you find that offer. Is it just targeted?

NVM I just found it.

The redeem miles and get miles back is valid July 19 til July 26 it looks like! As long as you opt in starting today.

I finally convinced DH to cardlink a M/C to his AM card. Good haul on AM for him at Dollarama this weekend. I might get him to ONYX yet this year. Then he could transfer his Dream to Cash and we'll use that for gas next year.

Now we just need to get you *Dumpster Diving * OOOPs I meant Shopping Receipt Diving.
Sounds like a great plan Hon. Gas is a big expense.

I have a mix of a protein shake and sugar free pudding mix in the freezer to try after dinner tonight, fingers crossed!

Some things I have learned…
-Sit the container in very hot water for a minute or two before spinning it. The soft/melted sides help with the spin. If you don’t do this you will have hard icey bits all around.
-Don’t fill the container up to the fill line, it makes it very hard to scrape down the sides after first spin
-a half filled container is ideal for one person
-after first spin use a butter knife or spoon to scrape down the sides. They get stuck and sometimes the bottom does too.
-after first spin it can look like powder. After you scrape the sides make a little well in the middle and add a little bit of liquid, then use the re spin button. Try a tablespoon amount first. You can add more but too much turns it into pudding.
-never freeze your containers with the lid on. It causes a hump in the middle forcing the machine to work harder.
-dismantle the blade from the lid to wash. The hole under the blade gets dirty. Also, clean the little spindle thing that turns the blade. It will also have stuff on it.
-if you can’t eat all of what you make and refreeze, it will require another hot water soak and spin to get it back. It may or may not require a little liquid.
-if you use frozen fruit, chop it up really small before you freeze it so you don’t force the machine to work harder
-you don’t need to freeze over night. 7-8 hours is often enough. It needs to be frozen solid but not like a rock.
-sometimes it’s not right after a re spin. You can re spin a second time but sometimes the mix in setting is enough.

The recipe that works well for me is to half fill the container with a protein shake. Add a heaping tablespoon of sugar free instant jello pudding powder. Then some additional flavour with Matteo’s thin coffee syrups. Then wisk the heck out of it until it just barely starts to thicken…maybe one minute. Freeze. Spin on light ice cream. This recipe is about 80-90 calories for the whole thing. Fat and carbs are in the low single digits.

From Metro flyer, today until Sunday:

My Metro redeem cash bonus airmiles from the weekend have posted. in-store bonus and base miles still to come.

 

[hdrolfe]

My amazon worked, got the regular and bonus miles! Phew.

 

[tinkerone]

How do I transfer miles from Dream to Cash? I did it once before but for the life of me, I can't figure out what I did to do this. I want to make a last go at gift cards from Metro while the bonus offer is on and Metro is still AMs.
TIA

It shows on the top of the app and the website where to do it but for the last couple of days it shows that "miles transfer is currently unavailable while we perform upgrades." So can't do it currently.

Tried to use this this morning for Disneyworld tickets and two different tickets i tried were not available.

Thanks for the reply. I did online chat with AMs just now and they said it will be a couple weeks before it comes back. I asked if they could do the transfer for me and they were not able to on their end either. They did give me 25 bonus AMs for the inconvenience which was nice.
So, I guess now we just sit back and wait.

Don't forget those Dollarama Airmiles.

And check your account for extras as my Mom's account also has a earn 25 miles when you earn at least 1 miles through Airmilescardlink. I didn't get this offer but her card has it and I have opted in. My sister wasn't sure she could go to Dollarama but when I told her she would earn the 100 miles and a bonus 25 miles she said she could make the time. I told her she had to spend $30 not just the $10 as you had to earn at least 1 mile and $10 would get her nothing. I told her to buy a $30 gift card for somewhere.

I can't wait until the Dollarama opens at the cottage. Can't believe that they are putting a Dollarama into our little town but we shall see and hope it doesn't hurt the little hometown Dollar Store and local department store (formerly at Stedmans now a new name).

A couple of weeks! Really! They just launched the program after testing it out for months. I knew I should have transfered more when I had a chance. Oh well, live and learn.
