Shop the Block 2025 - Earn up to 500 miles

[Donald - my hero]

It's that time of year again. Earn up to 500 miles between July 25th - August 8th

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, wait 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!

15 Items For Shop The Block.(Receipts)

 

[hdrolfe]

I'll wait and get eggs tomorrow, since they are a receipt offer. Walmart has frozen pizzas on sale for $3.96 (I think they are supposed to feed multiple people but kiddo eats the whole thing himself so I like to buy them on sale lol) so that could happen too.
Shell, for sure need gas.
Pharmasave for something
I'd redeem but I still can't transfer maybe they will fix that soon or I'll earn enough into cash to use them before the event is over.
Global petfoods next week
and one more, maybe something online. If Petsmart works, sometimes it doesn't post properly for me.
I have a plan 550 AM is $50 for Disney giftcards (I switched to all cash for now since I can't transfer in hopes I'll be able to use them for that).

 

[Debbie]

Oh, for Heaven's sake! I had my dates mixed up and redeemed points earlier this week. AND I bought gas because it was 1.21 not 1.27 D'oh! This promotion may be a bust for me. Hopefully DD doesn't buy gas today and gets it later in the promotion. (I won't need gas again until mid/late August to be sure). I should be good for the receipts since we're out of Coke. I might be able to get something from Pharmasave if I happen to be in that part of the city (I won't drive for it). And I can always use printer ink. That part is interesting since I'm retired and *I* rarely use the printer, but I'm always being told "We need printer ink".

 

[bababear_50]

Debbie
I almost went to get some laundry detergent and then remembered not till tomorrow ,,,lol
Gas is iffy right now ,,, I'm on 3 bars,, hoping to not run out on the way to the gas station.
Yep I seem to be the resident ink person ,,and I use the printer once a year to make my gift cards.
I will probably do my Scene+ points today.

I have these 3 offers for card linked so I could spend $25 at Kernels and should get 145AM and 1 offer done for STB.
Then I’ll likely do Shell, Petsmart Walmart, AM receipts and maybe a small redemption for a 6th (unless I get a better idea from this thread since you all are so creative at collecting).

 

[bababear_50]

Global Pet posting a couple offers for me overnight.



Hugs Mel

 

[ottawamom]

I didn't get those offers, . I've made up a final game plan for the StB this morning. If I go to Marble Slab Creamery to pick up an ice cream cake for a birthday we're celebrating this weekend I should be able to score 185AM on the purchase with the cardlinked offers available to me. I was going to get one from Baskin Robbins but I'll try the new place for that kind of return.

Has anyone tried to do receipts today. I just did my weekly shop and tried to enter the receipt for StB. Screen just goes blank.

Uninstalled the app and reloaded it. The receipts thing worked but the receipts have gone for review. One is dated yesterday (won't work for StB) and the other is dated today. Let the fun and games begin...

It took a few minutes of waiting but my receipt just got processed.

 

[ottawamom]

I usually have to wait until they review my grocery orders. It will post overnight. If not I'll go back to the store tomorrow and purchase some more zucchini. I need it anyway.

I stopped by Pharmasave and picked up a couple of things spent $27, redeemed $10. I should get 52AM for my trouble. 50 AM was a Pharmasave July offer so I was glad to be able to do that and have both count.

According to Air Miles Instagram, surveys count as one partner!!!

So far I’m off to a good start. I’ve done receipts, Pharmasave and 2x card link.

I did the Kernels offer which will earn 110. Did Sephora for 45 miles. I’ve also got a card link offer for 25 miles when you complete any of the offers. Plus 2X the miles on card link. So that’s a nice wack of miles that only cost me $29. I made one purchase and the other was DD’s.

Does anyone know….
Redemptions count as 1 but I did it at Pharmasave so is that 1 or 2. Also, are the 2 card link offers 1 or 2?

 

[ottawamom]

Pharmasave, if you also to the redeem, should count as 2. Some people have reported that they had to spend $20 then redeem the 95AM to make sure they stayed over $10 after redemption to earn 1AM. I purchased $27 at my store, redeemed $10 and was awarded 2AM. It worked as one would expect but I guess it doesn't at all stores.

Cardlink offers, each unique location/store counts as I use and you can stack different offers to earn lots. I purchased a cake at Marble Stone Creamery. I got 100AM (flash offer), cardlink 25AM, 2X cardlink offers (max 50), cardlink offer 10AM when you spend $25. Total should be 185AM for purchasing the cake.

"For example, if a collector earns at least 1 Mile at 2 individual partners or brands in-store, through airmilesshops.ca or Card Linked Offers, the collector will be deemed to have earned at 2 partners for the purpose of this offer."

 

[hdrolfe]

My receipt posted, phew (not the bonus yet but that's ok). I went to Shell, filled up the tank and shopped in store, so should get some AM from that. I also did some surveys but not sure if those will really count or not, online sources say so but the T&C don't mention it so I'm nervous about that. I will be going to Global on Wednesday and Pharmasave on Thursday. Hopefully enough of the Shell AM will post so I can also redeem at Pharmasave and get back 50. That should be 6 total, but I might do a little online shop as well, just in case. But I will wait until the weekend to see if they have any better multipliers, or if the amazon categories change for August.

Still waiting on the ability to transfer between cash/dream to come back, my life would be easier if that happened lol

 

[dancin Disney style]

Both my card link offers have posted. So after getting gas yesterday I’ve got…
Pharmasave
Cash miles redemption
Kernels …card link
Sephora …card link
Shell
Receipts

I’m going to have a go at DD’s account this week.
