Airmiles Shop the Block 2018 - BONUS MILES POSTING NOW

[BLAZEY]

I am still waiting on the 100 airmiles from Sobeys and the 50 airmiles for Samsung. I have never had Sobeys take very long before. It showed on the receipt that a coupon was used, so it should come through but obviously concerning after this long. Samsung should be easy to prove as well as I never had a samsung acct before, so clearly the airmiles acct # was added during their offer.

I am also waiting on the 50+25 airmiles from Samsung for creating an account and linking my airmiles # during the STB promo.

I contacted AM by chat this morning for my Black Friday weekend purchase at Apple (15X). Easily got my missing 810 AM so a 15 minutes well spent! As for the 1360 AM missing from my other Apple purchase on Dec 17 (20X promo), I need to contact them again after 120 days. She told me they can post only missing miles during a specific interval (November) because they know there was a lot of problems with airmilesshops during that period but that everything was working fine in December.

That's not correct, for online shopping the deadline is 60 days for base & only 75 days for bonus miles!!
So for your Apple transaction you should see the base on Feb 15th and bonus on March 2nd. I would just wait till the 2nd date since they're so close and that will save an extra chat if you get a stickler for the rules!!

Hopefully it's time for the bonus miles to start posting! Last year, it was the first week of February.

I am still waiting for one of my offers bonus miles to post (Irving $100 Gift card / 25 miles) and DH is waiting for his AM shops offer to post. Historically, do they post these for you before the 120 days? Or will I have to wait it out?

This year's StB ran an extra 10 days compared to 2017 so i'm not expecting to see miles post for another 10 days or so -- there's a timeline in the 2nd post that shows the historical posting dates. *usually* we start to see them around the 6 week mark which will be Feb 8th-ish

In the past when I've ended up with the final bonus posting and I'm still missing individual bonus offers connected to the coupons which then leads to me receiving less than I'm expecting I have been able to get everything added at once. During one of the promos I got the correct amount but was still waiting for one coupon to show up so i waited about 2 weeks after that and chased them down using the logic that if you gave me the full amount then you obviously are aware i used all of the coupons. SO in your case I would ask for them once the big bonus post and cross your fingers you get an agent who is willing to "bend the rules" If you luck in you might even be able to get them to do both accounts at once.

If things play out like they have for all of the other big promos we could soon start seeing the miles post so it's time to make sure you have your accounts set to your preferred earnings .. cash or dream miles.

Start a chat for the AM shops miles that are missing. There has clearly been a problem for a while now with those purchases posting because there is a pop up on the site telling members to do the chat if they made a purchase between certain dates. Make sure you tell them that you are counting on that purchase to count towards StB.

Just checking - did anyone get their Samsung airmiles? I'm worried it will affect my bonus miles.

I did the Samsung offer on 3 different cards, neve.r received the AM. There was something about November 18. Anyone who registered on that date had trouble. I didn't worry about it too much because I didn't need the offer for Shop the Block. If you're concerned I would do an online chat with AM and ask them to make sure it will count as credit for Shop the Block

No dice, just as I was expecting. The only purchases on Air Miles Shops they are pushing through are the missing miles NOT related to that STB offer.

I received mine...it was done in 2 separate entries...one for 50 AM and one for 25 AM...my date was November 16, 2018.

They are not yet giving the 50 miles for the StB offer but if your missing miles are for a purchase to count towards StB they will post them as airmilesshops instead of missing miles code or loyalty one. If I remember correctly I was told in the chat that the 50 miles will post by April 27th at the latest. The miles for my purchase (base and bonus) were immediately posted. I was very clear that I needed this to count for StB.

Miles are posted!!! Got my 2000!! Yippeee!

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Ok, this is weird.

DH got all 2,000, but the airmilesshops spend $100/50 miles hasn't posted yet.

I only got 1,000 as I'm still waiting on the 25 bonus miles from Irving.

 

[alohamom]

Both my daughter and myself got our full 2000 just now!

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Got all my 300 miles stupid working a second job for the mexico wedding trip lol. That got in the way of me hunting those miles. But it's 300 more than I had earlier today when I checked. Now to wait for the mega miles to start and hopefully I can fit in more of those promos with working 2 jobs, planning a bridal shower, making the things I'm too cheap to purchase for the wedding ( because I know that I can make them for way cheaper than buying them ) and trying to find clothes for myself, dh and the 2 boys. Oh...and don't forget the ds is graduating 2 weeks after the wedding

 

[damo]

Got my 2000!

 

[Donald - my hero]

Well CRAP ON A CRACKER! The secondary card got the full 2,000 but the primary only got 1,000 ... I hate chasing down miles from the promos, come on AM get your act together!!

 

[juniorbugman]

Both my card and my Mom's card got the 2000 miles. Now I just have to wait until I can chase down my bonus for my online shop as well as my Staples online bonus.

 

[hdrolfe]

Got my 2000...

saw this thread was active, took a deep breath and went on to check... thank goodness! No fight for these ones for me
