Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ottawamom]

I just had two things post to my account. One is 50AM for a redemption event. I'm thinking it's for the redemption offer they had earlier in July as it's too soon for the StB offer. Hoping someone else did the earlier in July redemption but not the StB redemption and can confirm. Otherwise time will tell.

Other item posted was cardlinked bonus that I stacked with my StB purchase 25AM.

Ok
just wondering what your thoughts are?
Is anyone else finding they are saving more on another rewards
program.
I have tracked the last 6 months with Airmiles and I collected
5, 591 Airmiles , this was with a bigger Shop The Block (Jan 2025) and initially a super amount of Receipt --- not possible now.

I have actually had to make over 10 or more phone calls for missing miles.
Sorry just evaluating my commitment/ interest in this rewards program going
forward.

Thoughts?

So far this year I have only earned 3635 so unless some super duper bonus promos come up I won't be Onyx next year.

 

[hdrolfe]

I've only earned 3200 so far this month, I still hope I'll get to Onyx but it's harder than in the past. I do a lot of my grocery shopping as delivery which I can't use for receipt offers. I miss all the old places like Rexall, Sobeys, Metro, and even Dollarama. Shell is my primary source lately, and I don't need gas that often. My shell gas offer this month is 40 AM for 3 fill ups and another 40 for a 4th, I fill up once a month lol, that's not worth it. But I also don't earn anything on my groceries which seems to be my biggest expense.

Looking back at my earnings since Jan 1st, ~3500) my main source of AM was my BMO mastercard, AMshops (walmart and amazon) and receipts.
Occasionally Kent building supplies, Shell (if I'm away from my gas station on the Native reserve), Global pets (we buy our food at a different local company), and I think 2x in 6 months we bought at the NSLC.

Mostly I treat AM as a bonus earn, and not a focus. We focus on Scene+ (as a Sobeys household), AM are background, I put more effort in earning during "events" (can we even call them that anymore!) and I barely earn PC points.

I do think it's nice we have several points programs, so I can shift my focus as the earning potentials change from feast to famine.

Same. Although I am only at 2700 AM this year.

I feel that I could have written this 100% Bring back Dollarama!

I am of this mindset. I'm not going out of my way to get a few AM. I do use the PC points with my groceries, but most of my shopping will go on my Tangerine cash back credit card. I rarely use my BMO AM card.

Yes, I had the same post, and I have not done the redemption (yet) this time. (or does the evoucher redemption count as that??) It posted at the same time as my 200AM for the dream redemption. This I believe was my Ninja processor that I got earlier in July.

 

[ottawamom]

I just logged in to see how many miles I've earned this year. I have moved so many back and forth between Cash and Dream and DH and DS transferred their miles to me. It is going to take some semi-serious math to figure out how many I've earn myself this year. I wasn't too concerned about how many I earn as my CC keeps me ONYX.

I'm at 9,344 since Jan. 1st but I received 4000 back from a promotion last October so that is a large chunk of it. My BMO MC is most of the rest. I charge EVERYTHING.

 

[AngelDisney]

I have earned 3733 AM so far. I am already worried about not reaching Onyx, and this month I don’t have the usual “Fill gas 4 times at Shell monthly offer”. Fingers crossed for next month. I don’t have MasterCard, so Shell is my main source to earn AM.

OMG - I do shop here occasionally so I guess I can do a shop before August 8th. I will check it out next week when I return from the cottage. I thought about doing an online shop but I don't get back until Wednesday and they only hold is so many days so I have 2 days to check out and see if there is anything that I need.

 

[hdrolfe]

I have a card link offer for OLG, I might do that. Not the best return, but i have a bonus offer if i use a card linked offer. So maybe. I think Shell has a bonus offer on lotto as well?

 

[kuhltiffany]

Now that we don’t have a dog, drive an electric car and with the reduced number of partners, I cancelled my AM credit card and don’t really pursue them anymore. Since we’re traveling more and Scene has a no forex fee credit card, that’s where I’ve switched my focus, as well as PC Optimum. They’re just so much easier to get and use!

For the current 150 bonus AM offer for 3,4,5+ partners, I'm assuming that RYO surveys are included as a partner? I don't see it excluded in the terms like AM receipts. Can anyone confirm?

Receipts ARE included, the first one you do will count as 1 partner. Surveys are not mentioned as either included or excluded so it's a "maybe" Someone mentioned seeing on Airmiles Instagram account that surveys are included but I wasn't able to find that reference myself.

My terms say any AM earned thru travel.airmiles.ca and AM receipts are not eligible for this promotion.

* ¹ Offer valid from 00:00:01 a.m. ET on July 25, 2025, to 23:59:59 p.m. ET on August 8, 2025 (“Offer Period”). To qualify, eligible collectors must click “opt in” in the offer invitation, the AIR MILES® app, or on airmiles.ca starting on July 21, 2025, and before the end of the Offer period. All qualifying actions to earn or redeem AIR MILES Reward Miles™ must be done during the Offer Period and after the collector has opted in. Collector will only need to opt in once during the offer period. To qualify for this offer, a collector can complete the following qualifying actions (each, a “Qualifying Action”): 1. Earn one Reward Mile through a unique AIR MILES partner in-store, through airmilesshops.ca (excluding online travel stores and Amazon Prime Video), or through Card Linked Offers; 2. Earn one Bonus Mile by completing an AIR MILES Receipts offer; 3. Complete a travel booking through AIR MILES Travel; and/or 4. Redeem Cash Miles™ or Dream Miles™ (see below for details). For action 1 described above, collectors will be deemed to have completed one Qualifying Action for each unique partner or brand where the collector earns at least one Reward Mile. For example, if a collector earns at least 1 Mile at 2 individual partners or brands in-store, through airmilesshops.ca or Card Linked Offers, the collector will be deemed to have earned at 2 partners for the purpose of this offer. For each of the other three actions described above, collectors will be deemed to have completed one Qualifying Action upon the first time they complete the action during the offer period (regardless of the number of scanned receipts, bookings, or redemptions). For clarity, base Reward Miles earned as a card benefit when purchasing on a BMO AIR MILES® Credit Card will not count as a separate Qualifying Action. Collectors will earn 100 Bonus Miles for completing two Qualifying Actions; 300 Bonus Miles for completing four Qualifying Actions; or 500 Bonus Miles for completing six Qualifying Actions. Offers are not cumulative; only the highest of the three tiers for which a collector qualifies during the offer period will be awarded. Offer can only be used once per collector number during the offer period. Collectors who use their BMO AIR MILES® Credit Card while completing a Qualifying Action during the Offer Period and comply with all the other terms of the offer will earn a one-time additional 50 Bonus Miles. See airmiles.ca for a list of eligible partners and each partner’s unique base offer purchase requirements and terms and conditions. AIR MILES card must be presented at time of purchase when earning in-store at partners. Earning Bonus Miles through AIR MILES® Receipts is subject to additional terms and conditions. Current AIR MILES Receipts offers (and their applicable terms and conditions) can be viewed in the AIR MILES app. To get Miles through airmilesshops.ca, collectors must sign in at airmilesshops.ca before purchasing to get Reward Miles and qualify for this offer. All online stores are subject to each partner’s unique base offer purchase requirements and terms and conditions. Purchases or signups made at Amazon Prime Video and online travel stores do not satisfy this offer.

For the Shop the Block their instagram said yes. I don't know anything about the 150 bonus AM offer. I don't have that offer.
