Airmiles Email

I got it also. A little weird as my account is always locked.

 

[Donald - my hero]

same email here and when i looked at my account it was, in fact, UNLOCKED!! Might want to confirm that on your accounts. I would only unlock it immediately before using the miles and then lock it as soon as i done with the transaction so I was surprised to discover that it wasn't locked

Thanks to the points about in-store locking... my previously locked account was also unlocked.

So I just went in and locked it.


Separately, I had purchased kiwis for the receipts offer & multiplier.
I only received 3 miles, even though I bought 4 kiwi. So I submitted my inquiry, and just got awarded my missing miles.

I was extremely interested to see the difference in the original wording of the offer (image from bababear) vs the wording in my resolved inquiry.

Original: not described as max 1 per receipt.
Inquiry page: suddenly described as max 1 per receipt, and likely the reason they only have 3 AM at first. Very annoying.

Ditto. That is weird. Locked now.

Has anyone looked at that thread titled Travel Statistic? No one comments or even likes the posts. Yet the person just keeps on adding stuff. So I'm dying to say 'what's the point of this?' Personally, I don't care.

Sorry, if that's snarky but I've got mamma drama again and can't take any more.

Good Morning

Just saying........................



Now for coffee.
Have a great Day

This person also posts that sort of thing in the thread 'Canadians Traveling to the USA in 2026' which may be why there isn't as much traffic on this thread. I didn't realize there was another thread about it. I do find it interesting though.

Sorry there's mamma drama going on. My two are grown adults with their own families and that part is long gone but I do remember it and it was never pleasant. I'm hoping that you will be able to get past it quickly and your upcoming vacation will help you relax and know that all things will pass. Remember, you have a group of friends here if you just need to through something out and get it off your chest. Sometimes that's all it takes to feel better.

I read the stats, too. I'm finding them very interesting. But I'm a buy Canadian gal.

LOL…I never have issues with my kids. We all know we can say anything and it’s ok. Even if someone doesn’t like it, it’s still ok. The issue is my own mother. I’m literally a hair away from going zero contact PERMANENTLY. She’s always the victim, everything is always a personal attack against her. Meanwhile all
I do is sit and listen to the name calling and disparaging. Have never once said anything back…until last week. I feel horrible about what I said but it came out of no where. The second it was out of my mouth I felt I’d gone too far. Funny though, both my girls said it was 100% fair and justified.

I forced myself to go to her house yesterday but behind the safety of my oldest DD and DH. My mother doesn’t have the balls to say anything in front of them. She acted like nothing happened but I figure I’ll get a call this week that starts with…I’m going to say this. It won’t be pleasant.

On the subject of the statistics thing…I guess I’m just being crusty.

On a much happier note…tonight is cruise check in night. I’m all set with the pics I need to upload and all the pertinent info. Fingers crossed for an early PAT.

Headed for a great day in Southern Ontario BUT it looks like a big change for the rest of the week.
I might be visiting with Willie's Ex wife Wanda.
Outside to clean out the winter planters today. Santa, Snowman and Mickey all got packed away on the weekend.
Have a great Day

They take the time to write these long posts about traveling to the USA stats and then turns out they were just at WDW and planning on visiting again LOL These are people with waaayyy too much time on their hands.

I won’t get AirMiles for it but I was sent a discount code this morning from Staples for $100 off $500+ and finally pulled the trigger on the Nintendo Switch 2 for my family! Somehow Nintendo products were not excluded.

I like the airmilesshop option, the pharmasave doesn't seem as great.

 

[bababear_50]

I'm trying to decide if I go and get a coffee or head back to bed for an hour.


If I go to a Pharmasave out of my area I can do it .... but my local one is more a
perscriptions only kind of place.
