Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Don't forget about Pharmasave as it's only $10/1 mile.

I always forget about Pharmasave!

I looked at it and first thought was no way! Then I read the terms, here's my plan. Shell, Pharmasave, Petsmart through Airmiles shops, receipts offer, redeem for an e-voucher. The final one is a toss up between Global Pets (Hunt Club and Riverside, @hdrolfe) and cardlinked.

For me, who has given up on the programs, I'm back in for this one for 550AM.

What about Rewarding your Opinion? Would that one count? I didn't read the whole terms so it might be in there but I'm way to lazy to take the time. I would gladly go back to bed right now and spend the whole day there but GS is on his way and entertaining a 9 year old takes effort and a lot of time.

Remember when STB was 5 offers and you earned 2000 miles? That was just about enough for a 5-day WDW ticket!

And those Blue Fridays at Foodland. Those were the days.

Is there anywhere I can earn AirMiles when buying an Apple iPad? Apple via AirMilesShops? I feel like they all have disclaimers!

TSC should offer AM for any purchase through AirMilesShops, I know they sell iPads but not sure which ones. Not sure if Best Buy has a disclaimer for purchasing apple products.

The fact that Disney eVouchers have appeared definitely slipped me by, so thank you for mentioning it!

Unfortunately for me, I never collect cash miles, as we always redeem Dream miles for our trips, but I was hopeful to transfer miles, BUT it's still not active. So... I could have transfered miles and redeemed some for the recent bonus offer AND got Disney cash out of it all at the same time! Alas, I got neither.

Looks like I'll probably transfer to cash miles as soon as I get the next chance (making sure to check they still have the Disney eVouchers first!), but such a bummer to miss out.

Maybe I can get a few with the new STB, and perhaps I'll switch to Cash miles first... just in case... hmm, maybe I'll go do that... Thanks board for helping keep us all in the loop.

YES to directly from Apple if you haven't already bought SIX (what an odd restriction!) They have the same type of restrictions mentioned about having an empty cart, doing the transaction in one single session blah-blah-blah
Earn rate is 1 mile/ $20
Here's the section directly from the terms on THIS WEBPAGE
Your Miles are subject to lifetime limits of: (a) six (6) units per model in each of the following product categories: iPhone, Mac, iPad, Watch, Vision, Apple TV, and HomePod

Maybe Best Buy - several exclusions but tablets look like they *might* be included
Earn rate 1 mile/$20 but there's currently a bonus offer of 2 miles/$20

Definitely Staples if they have the model you want for either in-store pickup or delivery. If you take the time to search you can usually find codes for discounts. This would be my suggestion, I've never needed to chase down miles for this store.

I unfortunately have neither the time or mental energy to create and maintain a dedicated thread for Shop The Block - if the return was higher I might consider it but we're heading up to see Arthur and his family for a week, leaving tomorrow. I'm up to my ears in baking, laundry, packing, stress crying and lack of sleep. The hotel we stay in only has a bar sized fridge and the world's tiniest microwave, the kids' kitchen doesn't make me comfortable enough to eat anything I can't carry in myself and use my own dishes & cutlery to eat with, and since it's a small city in the middle of nowhere (Orillia), there are zero safe for me restaurants.

Suggestion to help each other out and use for follow-up later:
Make a post including the words SHOP THE BLOCK or STB, highlight that and bold it. That will make it easier to spot and refer to.
Same general thought from the momma duck - do some math to determine how much chasing is worth to you since the return is minimal!!!

If I'm able to do some quick cut & paste of previous threads to create a new one later today, I will in which case you can ignore this post

BestBuy excludes Apple - had to buy someone a new Mac Book Pro ($4600!!!) and was so sad to find out it did not get AM.

I agree with Jacqueline. Don't purchase anything, for Shop the Block, that you weren't planning on purchasing in the next few months. Well maybe a $10 run to Pharmasave for something you don't really need. I always have of list of things I could use, not immediately, but in the near future that I get when one of these offers pops up.

I do hope when this offer is done they give us back our ability to transfer between Dream and Cash. I want to get some of those E-vouchers for Disney.

This is why we love going to Disney. This picture only shows a small portion of what I need to pack for a week to see Arthur. Not shown is all the stuff that's in the fridge and freezer and food that I'm still cooking. I didn't take this much when we went in November because most of these food items are usually just supplementary to my actual meals and weren't needed because the head chef at POFQ sourced safe food. This trip? It will make up most of my meals. Yeah, definitely first world issues, I at least have food even if it is boring and annoying to bring my kitchen with me.


Made muffins that are a staple in my diet- use almond flour so they're high in protein - and cupcakes so i can have birthday cake at the party. (Have to bring an extra of those since Arthur insists on eating my food and not his )

Anyone else having issues with the AM app and scanning their receipts? I could have got 6 AM yesterday but lost out. The stupid thing kept asking me to allow access to my photos and videos (why???) and so I gave in and tried to upload a picture I took of said receipt but it still didn't work. Won't work today either.

Could use this as a redemption option and Pharmasave for STB:

Hey I got you beat. I have a receipt that I scanned on July 10th that still says processing receipt. I don't even remember if anything was on the receipt that I could earn points on. I may have to get in touch with them just to have it stop clocking everytime I log onto the receipts part.
