Airmiles Armchair Chatter

A gentle reminder to everyone about the fragility of life, the need to reach out for help if you need it and the importance of checking in on those around you who might be struggling.

Sadly, the train that I was on this morning struck and killed a pedestrian before we had even left the city limits. It was 6:30 in the morning, in an area of the city that no one would be out just taking a walk. We sat on the train for 3 hours, watching the police cars arrive and the investigation take place. Made it up to the hospital and back to Union just in time for the train home. I was feeling in command of myself, oddly surprised in fact, until I sat on the train to come back home. The gravity of the situation hit me at that point and I'm in a bit of a fog now.

Sending prayers your way. The train my parents are on this morning also struck and killed someone who apparently jumped in front of it.

Indeed a reminder to slow down and enjoy what you have and who you have.

I will be doing some receipts offers and my brother has given me an item he wants bought from Best Buy which is $200 so 10 miles for that one to start. We will get gas and I will be grocery shopping for cokes (must check if it is one per receipt for that one before I shop) an some other items. I think I can get the full amount this time.

Colas are $5 per receipt. I'd probably want a little over the $5 because sometimes AM is finicky.

Colas are $5 per receipt. I'd probably want a little over the $5 because sometimes AM is finicky.

So I guess I will have to buy 2 as they are $4 each (hopefully they will use the total and not per item cost). So that is 3 miles plus my 10 miles from Best Buy is 13 and I will get 2 for gas so just need 10 more miles to reach the maximum. My Best Buy items won't be shipping until March 3 so hopefully the shop will count. My item was 199.99 so I had to add an item to get over 200. The first item that I added was not from Best Buy but Best Buy Business so I removed that and added some random item from Best Buy since the store info said it didn't include marketplace shops and I wasn't sure what Best Buy Business was considered.

Heads up! Posting this because I wasn't certain and I looked it up "Receipts offers are not eligible for the one‑time additional 50 Bonus Miles". I thought it was too easy. Now I need to decide if I'll do something else to get the BMO 50AM. In-store, airmileshops and cardlinked work.
