Airmiles Shop the Block 2018 - BONUS MILES POSTING NOW

[damo]

This one is going to be tight!!!!

BMO for sure
Shell for sure
Sobeys for sure
Rexall for sure
Global for sure
Urban Fresh for sure
Samsung for sure
Metro perhaps
Amazon perhaps
Children’s Place perhaps
Miss Fresh if I really have to

I always like to have at least one more than required because...you know....this IS airmiles afterall.

There is the link your airmiles account to your Samsung account. That is an easy one!!!!

If you haven't already done it... I did it when it was only 50 AM, but I have also used it a few times to show my card and gotten an extra 5 AM each time. Any way!

 

[alohamom]

yup-going to be hard for me too!

The BMO MasterCard offer is not that difficult if you start using it right away. I sometimes make purchases for work at the same time I purchase stuff for myself so I do two separate transactions at the cash. Each one counts (at least they did last year). Nothing stops you from dividing up your shopping order into three or more transactions (except perhaps death stares from the people behind you in line!)

I do go get a coffee most days so I could put that on my BMO instead of paying cash or using my Samsung Pay. Wonder if I can link the card on there so I only have to carry my phone. I hate carrying all my cards/wallet/purse to just get a coffee.

I think I'll be able to do it. Shell, LCBO, BMO (when my new card arrives in the mail!), Rexall, Children's Place and airmilesshops will be done next weekend when I get some Christmas shopping done....then one more, possibly Miss Fresh, or the HBC conversion.

I opted in to the Shell offer this morning and then did a fill up, since I was pretty much out of gas anyway. The BAM didn't show on my receipt, now I need to wait and see if they show up. I need to get some Amazon gift cards anyway for next weekends online shopping, so I'll try the other Shell offer when I get those.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

ummm, NO SOBEYS?!!!

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I can do 7 no problem! x 2 of course...ugh

 

[damo]

Sobeys is there for many provinces.

Just to follow up to myself BMO isn't a card you can put into the Samsung Pay.

This one is going to be tough. I get that they want to drum up business for some of their newer or less popular partners but honestly, that Lowes offer for Ontario made me laugh!

Tip for the Amex and MC opt in offers (this one I have done easily!) - I break up my purchase multiple times at the self check out lines during off-peak times usually at Walmart. It's so easy! I've done it at Superstore and Metro too.

Not for Nova Scotia! No wonder they didn't have the books out!

I was thinking of knocking off 2 birds with 1 stone. For the airmilesshops I was thinking of doing the Staples spend $100 get 25 and pair it with the spend $100 get 50 air miles. Boom 2 down. Now to get 5 more.

 

[mernin]

oh dang! I just did the samsung pay last week for 50! I'm thinking I should be ok to get 7...

Here is what I am thinking I'll be able to do:
Sobeys - yes
Shell - yes
BMO - yes
Airmiles shops - yes (planned to get my DD a new iPad, and I'll wait for a multiplier)
staples - probably
Global Pet Foods - probably
Rexall - maybe
Liquor Mart - maybe
Rona - maybe
Miss Fresh - maybe
Lowes - big maybe
Hudson Bay - bonus - I cancelled my auto convert last week, maybe this will work for a bonus one

Not easy at all...for those that have an iPhone!!!

The bonus is actually for creating a Samsung account and adding your Airmiles number -- you don't even need to ever use it again! I actually have a supported Samsung phone but once i added a 2nd fingerprint to my lock screen (for those times I've got Max the Mighty Mixer in overdrive and one hand is always gloopy ) the dang thing won't work.

All you'll miss out on is the weekly bonus for using Samsung Pay to show your AM card

This just posted on FB. Its the MC opt in for Shop the Block.

So annoying when you want to read and think!

OMG -- there is absolutely NO WAY i'll be doing the online coupon!!! I NEVER spend that much at once!!!

I had put all my stuff into Amazon Wish List that I want to buy for Christmas for the past month or so. I went today and ordered, and I STILL have another $50-$100 on the wish list that I'll wait for Black Friday. I need to get some things here before then, so that is why I ordered now, not waiting for the full order later.

This one is going to be tough. I get that they want to drum up business for some of their newer or less popular partners but honestly, that Lowes offer for Ontario made me laugh!

Last time, I was at Tim Hortons, and the csr offered to split my order into piecemeal LOL I know at some stores, (eg Costco), I'll just split things for "two orders". It won't be hard, this time of year to get the 25 transactions.

Airmilesshops $100 done.
BMO opted in.
LCBO later today.

I should be able to do 5. I might be able to swing the 7 if the weather is good enough for a little road trip to do a rexall trip, I might be able to scrape together a shop at staples ( if I get printer ink and a few other things ) Action Car & Truck ony spend 30.00...pretty sure I can find something for the son's car for an xmas present there.

1 - Global Pet Food
2 - Safeway
3 - Mrs Fresh...I haven't completed this...and it might be nice during all the working the second job during the busy xmas season
4 - Shell
5 - Airmiles shop - Amazon - son wants the Harry Potter set of movies...so it should be an easy one to hit the threshold

Now for the maybe's....Might ask the hubby to use his CC to opt in for the 25 purchases...we switched out the cc we were using since we had cashed out the AM for vouchers for the dd destination wedding, Children's place, Rexall and Action Car & Truck accessories.

Just went to Metro and purchased 3 items, paid for each individually. No biggy. 3 Amex purchases down, 22 to go.
I asked two cashiers at Metro if they had the Shop the Block books, I would like one, they didn't have a clue what I was talking about. They didn't have them which seems strange to me as they are a big AM sponsor. Then I stopped at a shell station and went to use the $10 in store coupon. The clerk there told me that they could only do AM's for gas as they were technically a Circle K store and not a Shell store. They would not use the in store coupon. Really? That seems odd to me.
These stores really should get their acts together.
