Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[dancin Disney style]

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.

Wait what....I read the offer twice, I see nothing about spending $30. It says $10. Have I missed something? I did it today and spent $11.

It's for stacking with the second offer they had... 25 AMs when you get 1 mile from Air Miles Card Link, which requires spending $30.

You're good with what you did!

We're 29 days out from Trip 2 of Year of Orlando! This time we're activating our 15-month Universal Annual Passes (thanks Air Miles!) and visiting both Disney and Universal. My daughter is a big Harry Potter fan so she is so excited to go back.

We're going to tag on a visit to a family member at the beginning, but once we get back to Orlando our trip will be:

- Stay at Drury Disney Springs for 2 nights on a complimentary night and a points night.
- Switch to Swam Reserve for 5 nights on points, hoping for an upgrade to their Chairman Suite - fingers crossed.
- Two nights at Animal Kingdom Lodge for around $300 USD per night on a discount. This will be our first Disney hotel stay!
- One night at Royal Pacific on the Annual Passholder rate.
- Final night at the Drury near Universal, paid with cash.

We have lots of moving around but we plan to pack light and organize day bags for the short stays. (For our December trip we negotiated a long stay rate at a Marriott hotel so we won't have any moves at all.)

Flights on points. Car on a big discount from Avis for my husband's union.

I'm getting my lists ready. Sooooo can't wait.

Forgot to mention I've joined the Parking Lot Hunting Squad. Lol.

Me too and 1 receipt should earn me 25 miles. Had to put in a missing miles report as they must have been having a bad day yesterday as it didn't even recognize eggs on the receipt.

Thanks. I thought it was for the other offer but I've messed it up so many times....

 

[dancin Disney style]

Forgot to mention yesterday's receipt round up. Not nearly as good as last week. There were ZERO in the carts. I checked the corral beside my car and the carts inside the store. When I left I made the rounds of the parking lot. Found 8 with very little on them...one is from Walmart which is not where I was. Someone bought a large box of suppositories. My own purchase will get me 30 miles...they posted 24 so will submit that one. I haven't added up the other few items but it might be 15-20 miles.

I thought I was off to a good start in the morning when there were 2 receipts just sitting in the cart I grabbed at Costco.

Just a FYI
Mustard is $1.25 at Freshco
Max is 8 on APP (food drive drop off).
7 AM x 8 = 56 AM in total


************************Edited to add Shoppers is the place to get receipts for Bacon today $3.99 a pkg.

i know this question pops up all the time "how to get cell service in the states , cheap? "
my phone has been slowly dying over the last few months and the battery life is dropping significantly, worst was the day of the flooding and I was stuck in the middle of who knows where on a bus trying to meet up with hubby and it just ran out of juice and turned off. I looked for a new one during prime days but didn't have the energy to follow thru. Up earlier than hubby today and scrolling thru sites when I decided to look at my account on Fido. We aren't looking to change my plan because I'm currently coasting along on my win- back offer of 55 gig with unlimited texting and calling for a massive $30 +taxes and fees no way I want to leave that!

checking on line I found this little pop-up offer on my account. Might go with it for the last trip of our year in Disney in 68 days, would be nice to keep my own number instead of going with a different sim card

Okay experts, I'm looking to see about possibly getting WDW tickets for 2 days in Feb. I'm on the AMs site but I don't see where there are any posted. Lots of Universal but no WDW. Do we still have an onxy person we can contact? Am I doing something wrong on the site, maybe I should be looking somewhere else? I would like to see about this while they have the special on by using my dream miles.
I know someone (or two or three) will have an answer for me so thank you very much in advance.

I've bought mustard as well. No Frills and Walmart also have private brand at $1.25. I ended up opting for French's dijon and honey mustard at Walmart $1.97 sale price.

Thanks for this. I'm mostly a Tide purchaser, Loblaws/Zehrs/Independent have it on for $4.99 so I already picked up a couple but added the Purex to my Shoppers list after your post. I had a 20x offer from PCOptimum so $4.99 with 10 aimiles and $1.50 in optimum points. Great find!! Thank you!

Giant Tiger cucumbers 67 cents. Airmiles receipts 5 airmiles.

I swear their Travel site gets worse every time I use it.
All I could find is this page

Here is the Link to personal shopper

I know you didn't ask about it but I'd also consider CAA pricing for 2 days

Thank you! I just sent off a request to the personal shopper. I'll see what comes back.

I would hold onto that phone plan too. Fido is probably the one company I didn’t check into recently. I will assume that they are like all the others and offer roaming at a pay per day rate. If so that $50 is an absolute steal.

Phone wise, that will depend on what you want and how you want to pay for it. All the carriers offer pay monthly options, usually 24 payments and some give significant discounts when doing so. Koodo for example gives approx $350-400 discount on IPhones when you use their tab BUT you lose the discount if you decide to pay it off early. Some, the phone is yours at the end and others you have to trade in for a new one. Generally, they all sell refurbed phones. If I were to go that route though I would only buy direct from Apple. If you are looking to just lay out the cash and purchase a new phone there are not many deals to be had…basically none.

LOL…I just keep upgrading through my oldest DD. She gets a new work phone every 2 years and has the option to buy the old one for $400. I buy that for myself and bump down the old one to DH. Gotta love Galen for that deal.

Walt Disney Tickets were available yesterday. I almost pulled the tigger but thought I would wait till 25 or 26 July 2024. Last day of the promo for the big redemption offer is 26 July 2024. If you buy 3 to 10 day WDW tickets before 27 July 2024 you get 400 bonus air miles. The special one park per day for 4 days at $99 per day is excluded from the bonus 400 air miles. I was going to use the redemption offer of using over 5000 airmiles get 1,750 bonus air miles ends 26 July 2024. Fingers crossed WDW tickets come back in a couple of days.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Wait what....I read the offer twice, I see nothing about spending $30. It says $10. Have I missed something? I did it today and spent $11.

There is also this offer for Dollarama / BMO:



I had already done $30 Dollarama offer, so did my second one today so I will trigger the bonus 50 miles for July and the Flash Offer of 100 miles. The above offer is good for June, July and August (max 50 bonus miles per month for this one).

 

[tinkerone]

For anyone who uses their cash miles for e-certificates, I would assume the bonus offer will work if you cash them in for those. Might be a good time to do it before the 26th if you are so inclined.
