Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[osully]

I did 2 separate transactions that should net me 60AM through Walmart yesterday. But 1 of them was split into 2 separate tracking #s even though the same delivery person dropped both off.

Oddly I noticed since the Canada Post strike started they have been getting DoorDash to operate as a courrier. Bringing me non grocery stuff from local store, same day. Instead of FedEx delivering from a warehouse. Weird. But kinda neat you can get some items same day! You cannot always with Amazon even though the Amazon warehouse is 16 min from my house!

I noticed amazon has same day for some items in my area now, started a week or two ago, not everything and it needs to be ordered fairly early in the day, but it's handy for sure. I was able to get some melatonin for kiddo same day and not have to run to the store, it was a busy day and there was no way I'd have been able to stop anywhere but ordered and showed up before bedtime!

I am not sure if I will do my sons card yet.

I've done two Michaels pick up orders that never posted to Air Miles.

Me too but since they were only for 1 mile each and weren't required for an offer I never fought for them. I will probably not use them for a shop the block offer.

Yup. My thoughts exactly.

Woohoo — about 24hrs after ordering I just got all 60AM I was expecting for my $60+ worth from Walmart.

Btw I find they always have the same price as Amazon on toys etc but actually give miles for everything as long as it’s not in your grocery delivery or pickup order. If you are placing a grocery order and can change items to ship by courier (which I am often able to do) you will get miles! Toilet paper, soap, bubble bath, bandaids, etc. would never get miles for those from Amazon.

Anybody ever use TSC and have luck with Air Miles?

 

[Days In the Sun]

Is anyone buying the Shell gift cards???? Are they posting from regular Shell gas stations?

I bought a Winners $50 and an Amazon $50 (not original) about a week ago and neither posted. Regular Shell gas station, my airmiles number and balance is on the receipt but no mention of 20 airmiles. Cards seem activated, I have used the Amazon one.

Anyone used Michaels recently??? My last order (it didn't post) was in August, just wondering if anyone has more recent info.

Got my Petsmart 120 AM and Walmart 80 AM. Nothing for Amazon yet, order to be delivered Saturday. Amazon is always a crapshoot anyways, not sure if my stuff is in the correct categories or not and it looks to be spread into 3 shipments all arriving Saturday.
Will do Petsmart and Walmart again for STB in December. Hoping for Dollarama. Then Shell and an AM receipts should take care of STB.

For Petsmart and Walmart do you use pick up or delivery? I sometimes order pet food with their same day delivery (Petsmart - so I don't get tempted to buy extra stuff). I haven't tried through the AM portal though. And I get Walmart groceries all the time, but will probably also get some other stuff and if I can avoid going into the store this time of year I much prefer that.

I've ordered from TSC a few times and got the miles without issue. I even did the payment plan thing for my Dyson and got the miles for the grand total all at once when it shipped.


Well everyone...we are heading out to FL later today. I'm still not 100% packed but just need to pack up the toiletries that I'm using this morning. Then clean the bathroom, change the bed and go off to work for a few hours. When I get home from work I have to take the dog over to my mom's house. Then figure out what I'm wearing and get in the limo.

I asked DD yesterday if it would be too much to hope for her to be ready to be in the new show for next week. All I got back was....yes. Since all that has happened one of her other shows has been permanently cut. The higher ups in the office here cut it, saying that they were doing too much and were on the verge of burn out. They have also cut the second holiday show. The cruise director kept adding things to the schedule with no consultation (or it seemed regard) with the dance department. DD is relieved, she said they were all feeling really stressed and worried. She is disappointed that we will not get to see the show that was cut, as am I, but I agree that it was a good call.

BTW...she got to see Moana 2 the night before last and LOVED it. She said she cried twice. I'm going to try and get in to see it while we are there.

Petsmart I order through the portal and pick up at the store. Walmart I get delivered.

Petsmart is one of my online go to partners through AMShops. They post quickly and I can always stockpile a little dog food or treats. I also order online and pick up instore.

Late update on my previous post from Oct. 28:

Well, I was happy with my BTS points of 125 AM... until I looked at my saved screenshots and saw one labelled "3rd shop for 250 AM" and it was Walmart at the end of August. BUT I somehow didn't take screenshots of orders #1 &2... so I looked in my AM transactions history and saw Amazon earlier in the month. Nothing else. SO... I opened up my Notebook app on my phone and FINALLY saw I had make a checklist of August deals so I wouldn't lose track! I bought from PetSmart on Aug. 6th, but it seems that never posted from AM Shops... so that never triggered the 3 stores (only 2).

I submimtted the missing miles inquiry for the PetSmart shop, and once that is resolved I guess I'll submit another inquiry for the additional 125...

So if you also shopped using PetSmart via AMShops... maybe check that yours posted!

I submitted that 1 missing mile from PetSmart and it posted almost immediately. But it of course posted as "missing miles", not PetSmart.

Then a few days later (or a week maybe) I decided to just go ahead and submit my missing 125 miles from the BTS (Back to School) promo, and amazingly enough, they also posted nearly immediately online!

So if anyone isn't sure about using the online system to submit miles, give it a shot. And hopefully if I use PetSmart for shop the block I won't have the same issue of it not posting, as lots of others have had good luck.

I haven't received the 30% back for redeeming yet either. I think the T/C say they should post next week. Dollarama Flash from last week still O/S as well.

Hey there gang! This afternoon was a crazy rush but I got it all done and with a few minutes to spare. We sat waiting for the limo to arrive. I had order some new glasses that were supposed to be delivered on the 25th but did not. I see this morning they were out for delivery. No joke, they showed up at my door 5 minutes before the limo. Anyway, our butts are settled in our seats on the plane at the moment. Boarding completed 11 minutes early but now we are 15 delayed.

See ya real soon!
