Have a great day!

I'm in the office today and the Tim's here doesn't serve iced coffee in the morning. It's weird! And HOT. So I did bring my own today, which is not quite as good lol.

I stopped at my favourite bubble tea place yesterday to find that they no longer sell bubble tea. I was so disappointed. Now to find a new place, the hunt is on.

 

[bababear_50]

Awe so sorry Hon.
We must find a new Bubble Tea place for Tink.

I redeemed for some Harvey's GC. I couldn't pass up the eay 50AM. I will take the $20 I put on the Harveys account via e-voucher and transfer the cash to my "holiday" fund.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I have 378 cash miles left in my account. Getting gas today, so will use 285 ($30) on gas. Short 2 AM to get another $10. I wish air miles would bring back the transfer your miles option! I wonder if something is going on behind the scenes with it.

Am I the only one who didn’t know you can now get Disney gift cards from air miles? I haven’t been on this site as much as I used to be since my surgery so maybe I just missed it. We won’t be going to Disney anytime soon however, I thought I’d mention it in case others may have missed it as well.

 

[bababear_50]

I didn't know.

Come on airmiles free up the ability to transfer between accounts. I'm going to get some Disney GC. I was doing the math on park tickets and it looks like I will be paying $200 Cdn more for tickets if I get them through AM vs using UndercoverTourist and spending $US. Converted the AM to Cdn cash and the US $ to Cdn cash.

I will be holding onto my Dream miles a little longer.

Are we able to transfer from dream to cash if we phone in? What about doing the online chat? Can we do it that way? It was so nice when we could just do it online.

 

[bababear_50]

I could be wrong but it looks like CHAT is only available for Myles the CHATbot.
And take note his abilities are no different than an answering service.




The call center is a disaster to get through to,,, especially since they are handling flights and hotel reservations also. 1-3 hr. waits sometimes.
I don't Facebook but it might be a better way.

And now I have math to do, Disney GCs vs flight savings. But only if they restore the ability to transfer miles.

And Porter often has good discounts on buying flights from them directly so the GC may be better.

Plus you can buy porter GC at Costco...$500 for $450

A very disappointing STB!! It used to be less transactions with more bonus AM.

 

[bababear_50]

Goal: Buy only what you need.

The Miles are not high enough for much effort on my part this time.
I can do my normal ( for 300 Airmiles + 50 BMO Airmiles=350 total).

1. Shell instore (gas and treats)
2. PetSmart online (Somebody needs a new toy for their Christmas stash)
3. Receipt Offer
4. Well.ca (New electric toothbrush)


That's about it.
I can't redeem any miles as the no transfer is still going on.
I guess I can use my BMO card for an extra 50 AM.

Oh well
Have a great Monday
Hugs Mel

 

[hdrolfe]

That looks like a complicated StB offer. I will wait to get gas on Friday. And I guess some online shopping and ?? a receipt offer. Not sure what else. If mile transfer comes back I might be able to do a redemption. I guess I could find a Global pets to shop at, they closed the one near me. I need to think on this one lol.

Ahh its a pass for me
