anyone book plane tix for '09 with airmiles?

[grover]

that is awesome! i would be definately using airmiles too if the tix were that much!

we ended up buying tickets to fly from MSP..the deal was pretty good (just over 600 CAD for 3 of us)...and i couldn't resist!

Ok fellow Diser's...
Can you help me out here?

How are you collecting enough Airmiles to Fly?
I just got an Airmiles American express card, and of course the airmiles card, and I try to put everything I can I the card ( but I'm finding that it's not accepted at any grocery stores I use.. bummer!). I only have about 300 airmiles for the last three months...

Any advice?

And the flights that you are booking .. they are only ferom Toronto and Canadian airpotrs right? We like to fly out of Buffalo.

Thanks for any info you care to share!

Get the BMO airlimes mastercard. It is a $90 anual fee but you get 1 mile for every $15. Use it for gas, groceries, pay any bill you can on it. Also look for bonus airmile offers offered from different locations. Do a search for bonus airmiles or something similar online. Check your local grocery store flyers to see if they offer airmiles. I recently signed up for a Safeway online flyer to get 100 bonus airmiles. I use it for everything I can and since I started collecting last October I have around 3600 airmiles.
