Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Donald - my hero]

I've had one measly mile post from my online shopping. I did Michael's and staples for in store pickup so I could keep my purchases close to $20. Staples was $20.12, it posted, along with the bonus during my drive home! Michael's was $21.12 and it's not here yet. I took my chances with A-mazon and picked one item for $21.35 and it's currently driving around, I've had 3 days where the 10 pm deadline for delivery passes and the danged thing heads back to the warehouse to do it all over again the next day. No mile for it either so I placed another order with well .ca - threshold for shipping is $35 i think? Spent just over $40 to get the 2 miles.

I'm expecting to chase down these for the StB as well as the back to school bonus.

I did a PetSmart order for cat food and they changed my order due to not having availability. Nope 16$ wasn't going to work. Cancelled.
Then I reordered a toy for Cocoa to be put away for Christmas/winter season.
Hopefully it will post soon.

Why do they keep messing around with the Receipts eggs offer?! Only one per receipt now?? ugh So cheap.

Came here to talk about the egg change… i still have 3 available to claim but haven’t claimed any offers on receipt for a little while. Changing to eggs over $4 is so irritating. 3AM is not worth paying for more expensive eggs. Everywhere I shop they are $3.93 a dozen. Well except Costco where you get 30 for $8.99 or so.

Somehow I’m over 4200AM earned this year. I was expecting to be under 2000. Guess we’ve spent too much this year — but then I checked and nothing is too crazy just from credit card… it’s most from last years shop the block (775AM), 20x multiplier survey days, and other good promos. Plus keeping a running list of miles they owe me and claiming them missing asap!

Well the BTS (Back To School) 250 Airmiles posted for me.
Why can't the other promos post like this?

gawd, I made another rookie mistake! I didn't look at the card linked offers after being annoyed that marble slab had disappeared, yuuup, it is (and i guess was) valid the entire month of August. I could have used that to ensure i had completed the StB, instead we drove around the city hunting for the elusive self- serve OLG machines and never did find one

I'm so sorry Jacqueline, I swore it was gone from the website at the beginning of the month otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it. I think you even looked and confirmed it was gone. I don't like that AM has glitches and it disappears and then reappears.

Marble Slab Creamery was discussed on "that other" website as well. Very confusing.

Edit to add. I'm just reading on "that other" website and it might just have come back overnight. They are usually pretty quick to notice these things and post about it. Still a mystery.

Hi Mel, how long does it take for PetSmart to post AM? I did a shop for STB on August 3 and it’s still nothing yet.

Mine posted the day after my shop. I did same day delivery.

Thanks! I did same day delivery first time ever because of some other deals. I didn’t use the App for the transaction. I took a screenshot with both Airmilesshop and PetSmart open just in case I needed to chase AM. Fingers crossed.

Sorry
out and about today.
I did the shop online with PetSmart via desk top computer.
My PetSmart airmiles posted the following day after I picked up the product from the store.

Petsmart posting might be store dependent. I know that when I pick up an order a person has to then enter into their system that you picked up the order. Did you get a thanks for picking up your order email. That is the thing that seems to then generate the reporting to Airmiles etc.

If they don't show up on Monday call the store and make sure they did that last step.

Mine also usually show up the next day but I've had them take up to a week at times. (and I always shop at the same store, go figure)

Airmilesshops is hit and miss for me. Reitmans has not posted and I ordered 2 weeks ago. Michaels sometimes posts and sometimes doesn't and even Amazon is hit and miss.

 

[Donald - my hero]

My well .ca posted just now. I have loads of cash miles now that I don't need them since the bonus backposted to the date of my transaction. Le sigh, they'll just hang out there until the next promo i guess.

Has anyone else noticed the story on CTV news this weekend about the person from Calgary who had his AM taken due to lack of activity?

They claim in the story that 25,000AM is worth $8,000. I only wish. The inaccuracy is driving me nuts. To the point where I looked into sending a note to inform them of the real value. Turns out it was too involved so I didn't, but still the story runs on newsnet.

Yes! I shopped through airmilesshops at Staples a while back, and don't see anything. Fingers crossed that my Old Navy shows up as an August 8 shop. (edit) it did, so that makes me done 6 offers. We'll see if something did/didn't count.

 

[Silvermist999]

I did a last minute Clinique order late on Aug 8th because I didn’t have time to drive to Pharmasave for my 6th offer. Hope it posts.

Anyone notice Airmiles receipts is getting sneaky. I bought 4 boxes of frozen pizza today and was only awarded points for one pizza. Looked closer, they changed it to maximum one item per receipt. So sneaky! Take the time to read carefully before you buy! If I get more freezer space by Wednesday, I’m buying more pizza at the self-checkout, one by one!
