Shop the Block 2024 - Earn up to 775 miles

[Donald - my hero]

SHOP THE BLOCK 2024 WEBPAGE​

It's that time of year again. Earn up to 775 miles between December 4th - 18th

Use this thread as a way to track what you have done on your card to complete the offer, it will make it easier to follow up later by simply searching your name.

*****Same as other big offers, please take time to understand the full terms of each and every offer you complete. There is NO need to rush thru this promo, I will be waiting at least until Thursday the 5th to let the kinks get ironed out. Perhaps glance at the receipt offers to see if you can knock that off first
BE SURE TO OPT IN BEFORE SHOPPING****

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!)

• Keep every receipt connected to the promo
• Take screen shots of any & all FAQs and fine print connected to any of the offers you use (or save a link to this thread!)
• Keep copies of any e-mails from Airmiles & partner stores about the promo.
• ***KEEP ALL INFO connected to your online shopping!!!*** This one will cause problems, be prepared!
• 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 terms very carefully before you head out shopping and if you are unsure of any of the terms of an offer, please put a question out because more than likely, at least 2 other people will either be wondering the same thing or even figured it out themselves!
• There's no need to rush through and complete the promo within a week (or day even!)
• PLEASE remember this important tid-bid -- do the math yourself, take a close look at your household budget and be smart about how you attempt this promo. If you're not careful you will find yourself looking at shocking credit card statements and sad bank accounts.

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!

akk - why didn't i start this thread earlier so I would notice that travel purchases thru the online shopping portal are not included?!?! Now I've left a bunch on the table by postponing one room until Wednesday - rookie mistake, not reading the terms in full

So I assume they mean you can't use Expedia, which is in their airmilesshops, but you can book through their own travel section on airmiles?

correct on the first part.

But only CASH bookings thru their portal will qualify as an offer in one section of the terms while another section explains that redeeming miles for travel do in fact qualify. this is a very confusing section, and I'm not sure about any extra fees connected to using that portal and paying with cash. Highly doubt the miles I'd earn would cover those.

for me? I know the hotel we stay at in orillia doesn't allow 3rd party bookings for stays under 4 nights so it doesn't matter.

Of course I shopped there yesterday, lol.

I'll be heading to Shell this morning for my first AM, no bonuses but I need gas before tomorrow so there'll be one checked off the list!

Me too! But I do need GC for a couple of Xmas presents so that will work.

if you have cash miles that could be 2 offers

 

[hdrolfe]

I didn't switch them over in time but will be redeeming for an xbox gamepass so that will count instead.

 

[ottawamom]

Just redeemed 95AM cash on 3 accounts for Harveys GC. Entered the GC on my Harveys account so they are safe and ready to use.

There has been some discussion elsewhere as to whether or not this promotion is Partner offers. If this is the case redeeming for 95 Cash AM at Shell and purchasing Gas might not count as 2 offers as it is only one partner. I'm not saying this is the case it's just a little grey as to how it is interpreted and if there is another way to do the redemption that is independent of a full partner it might be safer. (ie don't redeem at Shell or Pharmasave). Food for thought.

 

[Donald - my hero]

I should know the answer to this but it's not clear to me, I'm normally a 100% dream rewards collector so if I move 95 over to my cash account can I purchase a $10 e voucher from Starbucks and it will count as 1 shop for STB?

I pulled this question over to this thread in case other are also wondering.

YES, that will work perfectly.

 

[bababear_50]

All 4 of my shops have posted today

I will do one Receipts offer tomorrow and be finished.
This STB was an easy one for me.

I just did an order at Michaels for pickup, mostly wanted to shop at the beginning of the promo so there is time to do an alternate order somewhere if it doesn't post. Hopefully it posts.

Just a heads up for those planning on shopping at Dollarama. If you don't have a BMO linked Mastercard I would check my account as both of the accounts that I watch do not have linked cards anymore. Neither of the accounts is BMO.
I thought it was just my sisters account as she finally converted over to email logon but I checked mine and I had to re-link my card.
Now it may just be a glitch as I linked my card but it still doesn't show it as linked. Guess I will be waiting to shop at Dollarama.

 

[Donald - my hero]

anyone else on Instagram might want to keep an eye on airmiles posts. They've asked people to share their plans and then commenting on those.
here's one i like! Easy easy with minimal outlay of cash!!!!!
