The website is active now, click on this link and select your region to see the offers open to you. ****you can use coupons across the country if you can find someone to use your card!

Mega Miles March 21st - April 25th Earn up to 1000 AM

**** Pay close attention to the fact that for this promo you must make your purchases at 5 DIFFERENT sponsors to qualify for the maximum bonus miles. You can still use as many coupons as you are able to (and some will even be good for multiple uses, I'll point those out once i can read the actual terms) BUT it is the number of SPONSORS NOT COUPONS that will count towards completing the promo****

Some tips to help when it comes time to track down wayward miles (because let's be honest there will be several of us who run into Road blocks!)

  • Grab several copies of the booklet to allow you to staple the correct coupon to the receipts
  • Keep every receipt connected to the promo
  • Take screen shots of any & all FAQs and fine print attached to both the promo AND each coupon.
  • Keep copies of any e-mails from Airmiles & partner stores about the promo.
  • If possible try to complete at least 6 offers at 6 different sponsors so that if one doesn't credit properly you will still get the maximum number of miles.
  • If at all possible, wait a day or so before tackling to promo to let the kinks get ironed out, these rarely start smoothly
  • Read the coupons very carefully before you head out shopping, they do NOT all start on the same day
When it comes time to do the actual shopping leave all offspring & significant others who don't understand the seriousness of this hunt at home and have fun! If that's not possible you could always go with this plan!

Timeline for miles to post to account

Company line of when the miles should appear in your accounts are as follows.

  • the final bonus states 120 days after promo is done - August 23, 2019
  • Individual coupons are also 120 days - August 23, 2019
  • Online shopping miles will post using these dates from your TRANSACTION date - 60 days for base and 75 for bonus.
  • Bonus miles from using the online shopping "coupon" is 75 days - July 9, 2019
*******Based on the information below we can expect to see the bonus miles post around the 6 week mark ~~ June 6th *******
Historical timelines from previous promos:
  • Shop the Block 2018 ran from November 15 - December 27th with the 120 day mark being April 26th. Miles started posing on Feb 14th (49 days ~ 7 weeks)
    Online Shopping mess-up ran till September 9th miles had till Nov 23rd to post. Started posting (terribly I might add!!) Oct 19th but eventually they stated Oct 25th to post (46 days ~ 6 weeks)
  • Mega Miles 2018 ran until April 12th with the 120 mark being August 10th: first sightings of miles was May 30th (48 days ~ 6 weeks)
  • Shop the Block 2017 ran until Dec 14th: first sighting of miles was Feb 3rd, many of us only got 1/2 and were told to wait til Feb 8th but online chat starting adding them around Feb 6th (51 days ~ 7 weeks)
  • Mega Miles in 2017 ran until May 31st the 120 mark for that was Sept 28th : first sighting of miles was July 13th, miles for the online shopping coupon around July 31st with some reporting as long as Aug 21st (43 days ~ 6 weeks)
  • Shop the Block 2016 ran until Dec 14th the 120 day mark for that was April 13th BUT the site clearly said they would post by end of Feb. First sighting was Feb 3rd but a LOT of people got only 1/2 and it took till middle of MAY for some to get it straightened out (51 days ~ 7 weeks)
  • Mega Miles in 2015 was BRUTAL -- needed to use 5 coupons and bonus only went to the first 60,000 who completed the coupons the rest of us got varying amounts, we got (get this FIVE!)

The website has lots of information and I would recommend you bookmark the page and take screen shots of things you might need to refer to when it comes time to chase down the miles.

There is a GREAT selection of FAQs to read and refer to during the promo if you need a quick answer

Mega Miles FAQs


If you click on each offer you will be able to see the terms that are specific to that offer -- this is where you will also be able to see how many times you can use the offer for the miles that the coupon will give you, some are a one shot deal but others can be used multiple times. It will still only count as ONE coupon towards the final promo but you will still earn the amount on the coupon .. couple of examples:

Shell in-store offer can be used up to 4 times during the promo

  • Offer valid March 21 to April 25, 2019. Valid at participating Shell locations in ON, MB, SK, AB, BC and NT (excluding Shell Flying J locations). Maximum 5 Bonus Miles per transaction. Maximum 20 Bonus Miles per Collector Number for this offer.

Rexall Threshold Spend Offer can be used as many times as you want
  • Offer valid April 1 to April 7, 2019. Valid at participating Rexall and Rexall/PharmaPlus locations in Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories.

If you want to print off coupons from the website follow this process
  1. Select the coupon by clicking the heart in the top right corner of the coupon
  2. Click on the View Saved offers at the bottom right of the page
  3. Select Email My Offers from the top of your offers
  4. Fill in your email and hit send and you will get a PDF file to print out that shows both the front and back of the coupon that's easy to cut out and use
While you could simply print your offers out directly from the page this will allow those of us who tend to forget where we've put coupons to easily find them and reprint them after they are no longer available on the website!!
From the website: Please note, expired offers do not appear on printable PDFs.

ONLINE SHOPPING

Go to the website to access the portal, make sure you sign into your account before you click thru the link. Read the information about each store before you actually click on the Shop Now button.
Airmilesshop Website

There is ONE coupon for this and you must spend at LEAST $100 in ONE transaction
Make sure to keep detailed records that include the following

  • date of transaction
  • name of store
  • pre-tax & shipping total
  • if there were any multiplier offers that apply to your purchase -- i'll keep a running list of those in this post
Timeline for receiving miles thru the Airmilesshop portal is slightly different than other partners BTW, so if you do need to follow-up don't let an online chat agent steer you wrong!
Directly from the FAQs on that webpage:


When will my Miles appear in my account?
Base Miles may take up to 60 days from the date of qualifying purchase to be posted to your Collector account. Bonus Miles may take up to 75 days from the date of qualifying purchase to be posted to your Collector account.

Miles will show in your Collector account from airmilesshops.ca and the online store where you shopped, and Miles from a single transaction may appear in multiple line items if you took advantage of any Bonus Offers and/or sitewide multiplier events.


If your transaction includes a multiplier offer it will post separately -one line for the base amount and a separate line for the multiplier. This image shows how a $25.00 purchase thru Amazon with a 10X multiplier posted

Just a reminder to those who might be a little low on Cash miles. Switch over to Cash before your weekend shopping and get some Cash miles before Mega Miles hits. From what I've seen on postings on RFD there are a few options (Quebec, Newfoundland) for cash redemptions which will count as a sponsor. Personally, I've got enough cash miles to do 3 redemptions.

Yeah, and don't be like The Duck and forget to hit the final button so the switch from Dream miles to Cash miles actually happens before you're planning on shopping :rolleyes1

Merci for the reference to RFD having the Qc flyer online! Based on the coupons I see it will be very easy for me to do 5 coupons for both my card and DH’s card. There’s a total of 4 offers using cash miles so I am changing my % of cash today since I only have enough for 2 transactions right now. I will probably be able to help someone using the IGAExpress coupon if needed!
 
Just in case the HBC conversion to Air Miles is an option, I stopped the converting of mine and my husband's points today.

What do you mean by "You stopped the converting of miles..."? Did you already have that done? If so, you can't opt out and then re-opt in again for it to count as an offer.
