Airmiles Armchair Chatter

I've had no luck finding WDW tickets on Airmiles website, even under Dream Rewards. Can you walk me through it?

Then for location type Orlando, and select WDW. Enter your dates. Log in to be able to buy using your dream miles.

You go to Travel, then Extras. Don't go under Dreams.

Travel - Extras - when you start typing Orlando it pops in with universal or WDW. Then put in the date and if you want to use Dream Miles you have to select that (it says Credit Card behind that drop down search menu), then search.


Even if you choose WDW it still finds the Universal tickets. You can choose the ticket you want, park hopper, etc, and under View Options it gives the number of days.



You get the cost in CAD

But when you add them to your cart, it will show the number of AM you need at the top


Then you go through the checkout process.

Yesterday I was so excited because I found a receipt on the floor at Sobeys and I was thinking bonus maybe it will have exciting stuff on it. But nope nada, nothing that was on the list. Oh well at least I had found one. Again my stores don't seem to have receipts just lying around. Even the Foodland at the cottage picks up all the lonely receipts left behind and puts them in a trash bin.

Last Saturday I was at Shoppers and got all excited as there were THREE receipts in the cart! Zero items to submit for LOL

This weekends Flash offer. Can I use my BMO Airmiles M/C at FreshCo and will that count as 1 way to earn? Or would two separate transactions at Dollarama work. One for the Dollarama earn and one for the M/C use on the second transaction?

the way i read the terms the answer is, "maybe" It's based on separate TRANSACTIONS not partners so technically 2 separate dollarama ones should trigger it. My personal thoughts though? Since it does say that a purchase that satisfies 2 offers only qualifies as 1, which then becomes a question of how sophisticated the system is? I would more than likely be doing 2 distinct things, fresco for the Mastercard would still have me fretting because it doesn't show up until my next statement day and even then, it's not posted to a specific date.

if you haven't already decided on a receipt offer and you have a pc optimum card (just the basic level) you can pick up a frozen pizza at zehrs for 3.49 and it's included (not sure if you have zehrs? )

Okay so... to recap the current offers:

1. AMSHops specific - earn 1 AM from many online places, including Walmart. Do this at 3 different sites by Sept 2nd and get a small, medium or "large" bonus.
2. AM flash offer - earn AM by 3 separate ways Aug. 9-11 to get a medium bonus (2 ways to get a small). Ways include: AMShops (but NOT Walmart, Disney+, Wealthsimple, online travel), Receipts, In-store, Card-linked and AM travel, and a mysterious "BMO M/C" one.
   • Using AM shops as one of your ways would count as 1 of 3 in the first offer too.
   • These are the T&C related to BMO M/C and it seems to me like this means I just need to own it currently and have it be active and in good standing???
   • To earn via the BMO AIR MILES Mastercard way to earn, you must have an eligible BMO AIR MILES Mastercard and an account in good standing. Applying for an eligible BMO AIR MILES Mastercard during the offer period does not guarantee you will be accepted or receive the card within the offer period. For more details on eligible BMO AIR MILES Mastercards and how to apply, please visit www.airmiles.ca/en/credit-cards.html.

So if I buy a gift card from Dollarama (which will trigger my August bonus as purchase 1 of 2), buy something from a flash offer acceptable AM shops to double dip, and uh, just own my M/C I've done 3?

I might just make sure to do a receipts offer or buy something in Global pet foods or the liquor store just to be safe for that 3rd way.

i don't think that would work @kimbert , it says you need to earn at least 1 mile in 3 separate transactions. Just buy whatever the cheapest receipt item that you'll actually use and call it finished. The pizza above, a bag of marshmallows is usually pretty cheap, get the Graham wafers those count as well, grab some chocolate and POOF s'mores

 

[ottawamom]

I've been trying to wrap my head around how the BMO M/C thing would work. This is where I'm at currently. BMO has the ability to scan your M/C for elegible transactions ahead of individual statement dates. All they have to do is scan the transactions from Aug 9-11 and make sure they are big enough to qualify to earn 1AM (ie no $5 purchases). If they had to wait until the statement awarded the AM one would never get an AM from M/C.

such confusing offers going on... LOL

I'm not relying on the BMO MC option. I'm doing two cards:

1. AM Receipts on both
2. In store option (Pharmasave on both)
3. AM Shops (Staples) option
4. Card link option (Dollarama)

I agree with what you're saying . I'm just a tad risk adverse so if I can't see that the mile posted to my account I would just obsess over it

I think so. I’ve submitted all Diet Coke before and received the AM. It was a “needs more time” initially but I got the AM.

I ordered Michaels and PetSmart for pickup this morning and they both have posted already. Reliable options.

Coke Zero has worked for me in the past.

 

[juniorbugman]

I did my receipts for both cards tonight. Chocolate bars for the win. Funny thing is 1 posted right away and the other one says we need more time so now I wait.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Coke Zero works for me every time.
