Placed my order to get delivered to Arthur's house tomorrow - safe snacks for me that I've let myself run out of
Only available from either A mazon or Well .ca, this is cheaper but groceries are never an included category. Win win situation for me!!! So many things that make me happy : great taste, ton of protein in a tiny package, resembles chocolate bars with rice crispy but I'm allergic to rice and this is actually dried puffed milk. Made in Canada to top it off!

I love those. I found them at the airport last year. Cuz it's a preflight requirement to wander around and buy a bunch of stuff that you don't need. There is a flavour that is something to do with coffee, I don't like coffee but I like those snacks!

I got 50 air miles so did I do one shop?

Phew great day to have the Amazon deal. My husbands grandmother needed psyllium husk which I always order her on there, and we also needed bandaids, flintstone vitamins, and bubble bath! $45 or so spent.

We always have Amazon Prime and I personally would love to cancel it but it comes in handy sometimes! You could also sign up for one month at a time during these big shopping months!

My husbands acct only got 50 - I think he had a personalized offer to earn 1AM via AMshops and get 50AM bonus.

I will say, the Magic was my first cruise and I absolutely love her. She is smaller, for sure, but has a quietness about her. Disney but nothing to fancy. I hate that they put the AquaDunk on it. But, that's nostalgia for you. Since she left Port Canaveral we have not been on her. The Fantasy took over seven night sailings so what are you going to do? She is every bit as nice but certainly busier. I hope your DD is enjoying it to the fullest. She'll be so happy to see you.
We leave for Punta Cana in 24 days, I need to get organized and do some packing. I still need to check and see what I have left over from the summer for sunscreen. Should pick up some bug spray as well.

I think more than anything I'm curious about the smaller ships. They seem to get so much love. I may never see them though, anything less than 7 days is not for me. It's just too much involved to only go for 3-4 days. I was really hoping that DD would be able to book us under her discount so that we could do a B2B in January...a 4 and 5 day. Unfortunately there has been almost nothing available for CM's. Hopefully after this cruise I will have a better opinion as to if cruising is for us. I have watched some videos on Alaska and I am pretty sure that I want to do that. Likely Holland America though.

I'm not really sure if DD is actually enjoying this contract at the moment. There have been several struggles. She is greatly bothered by the lack of respect and etiquette by several of her castmates. There have been conversations with the manager (she is not the only one complaining) and not much has improved. They have had horrible weather for a few weeks which has impacted things a LOT. DD has been sick now for over two weeks. Medical only signed her out of work for 24hrs at the start. They gave her a strange assortment of OTC meds and that was it. From the sounds of it I think she has a chest infection and needs to see the doctor....I've had bronchitis and pneumonia so many times I know the signs too well. Her work schedule doesn't line up and she doesn't have free time when medical is open. That is really bothering me. She's exhausted which is partially the work schedule but not feeling well and not being able to breath properly is contributing to that. On the upside, there have been several popular social media people on the last few cruises and she has made it in the videos....on of them being The Tim Tracker. This has been exciting for her. She has meet lots of really nice guests and many have been bringing little gifts. She got some items from one of the Asian parks. She is excited for us to arrive and she will get a lighter schedule while we are there. I'm surprised she hasn't mentioned being excited to eat in the dining rooms but maybe it's just too far off yet.

She needs her mom and some TLC Hon.
You'll get her back in shape in no time.
Nothing like a dose of mom's love.
Best wishes.


Happy Saturday
Restarting my *steps* walking today.
So far coffee has gotten me 29 steps ...................

My Dollarama purchase from the 18th posted almost immediately. DH (non BMO M/C) finally had his post today. At least I know the bonus will be coming eventually for doing that offer.

DH is a little over 100AM away from making ONYX. My goal, so I will be able to transfer his dream miles to cash and cash those out to put into my own vacation savings.

Amazon shop for both cards done. One card bought myself my special National Days Calendar and the other I bought my nephew a laptop steering wheel desk for his car as he eats his dinner in his car while at work.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Being on a ship would not be the ideal place to be when you are sick. Hope she feels better soon. I'm sure your being there shortly will help. It's always nice to have Mama near.
I don't especially like Tim Tracker but I think I'll have to watch just to see if I can find her. He usually does several vlogs on each sailing, do you know which day?
I agree with the 3/4 day sailings not being enough. We have never done that short, it just wouldn't be worth the time. We have done 7 day B2B, several actually, because 14 days are better than 7 right?

I got 2 AM for my amazon purchase yesterday, even though it wasn't in the right categories so I hope that means the 100 am will work properly

I didn't get anything yet for my Friday purchase. My amazo n never shows up right away.

if you spent over $40 that tracks. all it means is that somehow, whatever you bought did in fact, fit into one of the categories.
I've been finding items that shouldn't work do give me the miles. When there are big promotions I will be super careful about splitting up orders to keep them "clean" and won't include things like my snaaacks. Currently it says home and kitchen i think, but, we bought refeflective film for the living room windows after our neighbour put in a new deck that gives her clear sight line thru our entire main living space. That ended up earning me close to 80 miles cause it was during the October prime mini days!!

For the life of me I cannot seem to figure out how to see the amount of airmiles I need for WDW tickets.
I know I go into the EXTRAS section of the rewards travel, but all I am able to see is the cost in dollars.
I am sure I don't have enough and that might be playing a part but I would like to know how many to aim for. I guess the price fluxuating by date might also be part of it but the system asks me to plug in a date as well so I am at a loss.
Any ideas? TIA!

There are two boxes when you put in your dates...one says credit card and one says dream miles. That is on my computer, anyways.

 

[ottawamom]

? about the Amazon offer yesterday. If I ordered things that weren't in the correct monthly categories I won't earn the 1AM/$20 but if I spend over $20 I will still earn the bonus (spend $20 earn 100AM)?

Will it make a difference if I used a GC to make one of the purchases?

yes, it clearly said that anything will count so long at it's over $20 pre tax and shipping. No need to be in an included category. If anyone got single digit miles it means they managed to, somehow, find something that triggered the wacky algorithm.
You'll be fine just need to wait until the posting date (don't remember but it's fairly soon)

ETA because I'm exhausted and missed part of your question, method of payment doesn't matter at all.
