Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ottawamom]

I just looked on the AM website. The Flash off is back to 200AM. I'm getting whiplash!

Have a great Day!

For this weekends offer I've completed both cards. Receipts on both, Petsmart on one, Shell on both and Dollarama on one.

I've got a few things to sort out offer wise. DD's card has a couple of good ones that I think I can work as long as there is some double dipping with other offers. There is one for Shell, Airmilesshops and one to just earn a mile.....if all those combine with yesterdays purchases for this weekends offer it will earn 400 miles. I need to go look again as there is one for multiple online purchases. I did Petsmart on hers so there is 1 already. Mine, I forgot about the 2X Dollarama one so I will go back and grab a gift card. I can start buying Disney cards again...will need for the cruise that I better be taking.

AND...I looked into it last night. There is a Pharmasave only 5 minutes from my house. Who knew?

I wonder if Rewarding you Opinions would qualify as one offer. Anyone have any thoughts? It would be an easy one to complete.

With the return to the original reward amount for the Flash offer, I think I will be doing a 3rd way on DS's card. He has another offer for Airmileshops where he will get 50AM. That plus the additional 75AM from the Flash offer make it worth it to do.

Got a giftcard at dollarama, also my second August shop there so it will get me 41 AM in the end, then went to Shoppers for two packs of coke zero, since it's on sale for $3.99 each I needed 2 to get over $5, scanned in the parking lot and it posted the 6 AM right away, so two down, one to go! I plan to do some online shopping to check off number 3, and number 1 for the online offer (earn at 3 online shops, earn 250 AM). Just need to decide where to shop.

I will need some new clothes in the fall for returning to the office more often, I've been losing some weight and am not close to done yet but it's slow going and takes more than a few pounds to see a size change, but I am reluctant to buy a bunch of new stuff in my current new size when I hope to be in a smaller one in another couple months. Feels like admitting I'd be stuck at this size for longer than I want to be. If I wasn't going to have to be in the office I'd just keep wearing my current clothes until they fall down lol (only happened once with shorts while walking the dog, had to keep hiking them up so that walk got cut short and those shorts got washed on hot to try and shrink them lol). I could just get the boy some back to school clothes, but he likes to feel the material before committing to purchases. What to do... and not over spend.

Okay, ended up buying a GC at Dollarama, some cat toy replacements at Global pet foods and we ended up going to a few places to shop and used the mastercard at Costco. But, didn't end up having to count on it working, as we bought several things which counted in the receipts offers, one which did post right away! So all done, easier than I thought. Thanks for the input and happy hunting!

i don't think so for this offer, they listed all of the accepted ways to earn the single mile and that wasn't in the list. Don't forget there's some sort of contest at the moment though, every survey is an entry.

I found some shoes on sale on TSC so I got those and earned a couple AM, I need walking shoes as I have been walking more lately and my old shoes were not supportive. So that's done and that was easy for a few AM.

Now doing my son's card because he is quickly cashing in all his Airmiles for Amazon Gift Cards.
I did a small Well.ca order,, should be at my local Rexall for pick up tomorrow.
I receipt offer,, Cola pop.
And I will pick something up at Shell tomorrow for $5.
He also had a get one Airmile with a online shop get 50 AM. on his card so his total will be 250 Airmiles.

I'm having such a hard time cashing in my miles because of "Security Concerns"... I've tried everything I can think of to fix it... Is anyone else having trouble?

 

[dcessford]

Has anyone received their Redeem Big Event airmiles yet? I got an email on Tuesday saying I earned 1750 and to check my balance. I still haven't received them yet.

Hi Hon
Sorry you are experiencing trouble.
I haven't tried to redeem but Andrew did a few weeks ago and could not for Amazon for a week ,, but other partners he could redeem.
I am getting multiple checks ,,, like click on all the bridges, stop signs, buses Verification check mark requests when signing in though.
I'm thinking security concerns with all the changes they have made lately.
Hopefully they resolve their issue soon.

Hugs Mel

Hi
Just me being overly cautious here ,
but in all the 20 something years I've done Airmiles I have never received an email saying to check my balance.
I know phone call waits are long but I'd check with Airmiles.
Probably just me being overly cautious.

This is what the email looked like.

I agree with Mel, that looks a tad fishy. Sign into your account, online, directly. Don't click on that link. I didn't redeem any miles during that event so I don't have any personal experience. I know someone did, let me do a quick search to see what I can find. Personally, I would be checking the email address on the email and reaching out directly. The call centre and online chat aren't open on Sunday but the Facebook chat is available and they can give you some general help at least.

I redeemed cash miles during it and I have received those on August 1.

So did you get an email with the same type of info shown above? I've scanned thru the entire thread since the offer started an no-one else has mentioned anything yet.

I only received 50 AM for redeeming, and I did get the email after I received the AM. Like a few days after. AM came on August 1st. Email came on August 6th
