Airmiles Bonus Boom/Bust August 26th - September 8th, 2021

Just saw this on Facebook for our Atlantic Sobeys friends.



75 Miles on Cash redemptions instead of 95. Good deal!

Don't you hate the offers at Sobeys for example that say that the offers won't show up on the receipt and will post 4-6 weeks later? I just shopped at Sobeys and came home and noticed that my spend $100 get 5x miles hadn't posted so I checked the website and they show up later. Phooey.

I just had that happen yesterday.

I went to buy the ice cream for the guys for afternoon coffee break and used my 95 cash miles...and they didn't show up on my receipt. When I went back to the store after work to ask about them...they said the same thing I really hate having to chase miles.

I still have some cash miles, I think I'll go and pick up a few lunch items for me for the week at work to see if it works this time. Usually when I use the cash miles ( and get the 25 AM ) redemption, I get my AM right away.

Just to confirm. If I use Shell Easy Pay to fill more than 30L of premium gas, do I fulfill two Shell BM offers?

The 25AM for using 95Cash AM never show up on the receipt. The terms and conitions in the small white print on the flyer say the AM will take 4-6 weeks to post.

In the past, those AM have shown on my receipt. I'll keep the receipt on my board at work and put a reminder in my phone to check for those miles. I just hate chasing miles.

Wow! Shell Easy Pay has already posted the AM (filled gas at 12:30). I do indeed get both offers fulfilled with one gas fill up. This is amazing!! Only need to make a trip to Foodland and two cards will be done.

This one turned out to be easy for me.
1) AirMiles shops -HBC - spent $110 (plus tax), got 5x miles = 25 plus the bonus 100AM so a good return for online shopping. These 125 AM have already posted!

2) Shell fill- used easy pay. bonus boom already posted plus got the 50 AM bonus from an Aug 21-30 promo running at same time.
3) Safeway- spent $140, got 110 AM. Should have triggered the Bonus Boom spend $100 get 5x miles but like others have posted those did not show on the receipt. Also will have completed 4 offers on this bonus boom by the time it’s over so not too concerned about this.

4) BMO- should be over $250 between Shell and Safeway before the promo ends.

I haven't done any yet lol, I'll get gas tomorrow and hopefully complete a couple with that purchase. Plus get 75AM bonus for two fill ups in August.

@hdrolfe , The cleaning products in the Metro offer are apparently on sale this week and you only need 2 to complete the offer.

I did the Metro coupon 80206 for two big jugs of selection bleach 3.6L $2.99 each total $6.76 with taxes 20 bonus air miles. Coupon ends today.

Finished this on my husband's card in one shop at Sobeys in NB. Use 75 for $10, but a box of pears, and spent more than $100.

On my card, will complete the Shell 30L offer and get a huge chunk spent out of the BMO offer on our 12-hr drive home on Friday. Then just one to go!

Did I read it right....only the premium Shell gas counts in Bonus Boom unless you use EasyPay? My shell is a full-service station.

I have completed 3 offers on both cards this time. Sobeys spend $100 get 5x miles, cash in 95 miles and Foodland cash in 95 miles on my card. Sobey's cash in 95 miles and buy 2 mini cokes get 20 miles and then the cash in 95 miles at Foodland. Glad I got it down this time since I screwed up on Junes and only did 2 offers on my card.

It seems to be the case.

Instead of doing the 95 Cash Miles offer at Foodland, I am filling gas again at Shell before BM ends. Finished my card already and need to complete one more for DD’s card. This time Amazon posted early so I don’t need any backup.

 

[Debbie]

This is definitely becoming a BUST for me. I did the use 95 AM get 25 at Foodland. My Shell is a full service, so no AM for me. DD went to Metro and no Selection cleaning products and now she's at Foodland and, again, no Bonus Boom tortilla chips in sight. I'm not surprised, since I've never seen that brand. Finally, in cleaning today, I found TWO Sobey's gift cards so no buying those to get the BMO bonus. Yep....AM is not my favourite program at the moment.

I went to get my Shell 30L offer today. The station I went to was on the Shell map indicating it had EasyPay. The pay at the pump option didn't work. When I went inside to try and pay with the QR code the clerk looked at me all suspiciously and said she had never heard of the EasyPay app. Eventually she scanned the QR code but it didn't work.

I got home and decided to do a live chat with Shell that went really well! They are adding the 5 bonus miles. More importantly, they will report my purchase as qualifying for one of my 3 Bonus Boom offers! The chat service was prompt, professional, and super helpful. They even followed up with an email about other efforts they are taking to resolve the situation!

 

[AngelDisney]

Did Shell Easy Pay after work today and the two Bonus Boom Offers AMs are already posted in the AM App now. Both cards are done. Yay!

 

[hdrolfe]

Well I guess my Shell didn't work because I didn't get the expensive gas, and didn't pay with Easy Pay. Oh well... I'll skip this one I guess.

 

[ottawamom]

We need to keep in mind with Bonus Boom we are only chasing $10 in bonus AM. Not worth it if it is going to cause a lot of aggravation. If you can do it at, say, one grocery store, great otherwise just move $10 over into a vacation fund and don't give it a second thought.

I'm retired and enjoy playing the game and running around gets me out of the house. That's a big reason I bother.
