Shop the Block 2025 - Earn up to 500 miles

[juniorbugman]

I got a bonus on my receipts offer the other day. I bought 1 carton of eggs which should be 3 miles but they credited me for buying 4 cartons of eggs and I earned 12 miles.
So far I have done :
Receipts
Evoucher redemption
Shell gas
I will do an online shop and that may be it as I don't have a pharmasave nearby and I buy homemade popcorn from a small vendor instead of kernels popcorn. I do miss the cardlink offer of Dollarama.

I do miss the cardlink offer of Dollarama.

Me, too! And I'm thinking Dollarama might be missing my $$$, too, since now I rarely go in.

My 5th unexpected Offer
Well we are going to the movies this weekend. Fantastic 4
My sons tell me how much they like the movie vouchers so I went ahead a redeemed some Airmiles for them (4 in a packet). I will make good use of them at Christmas time.
Hmmmmmm ............. now what to do to get a 6th offer.........Hmmmm,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I know...... I know.......... I said I was stopping at 4 offers.

This is gonna be a hard one for me to complete - mind is cluttered and I'm exhausted from a week away. Great to see all of the family at once but it was, as the newly 3 yr old Arthur repeatedly said, "OH-EM-GEE it's so stinking hot" (yes, he says the letters, not the actual phrase)
Got gas on Monday so that's one
uhm .. And now I'm stumped!!

Can't redeem because all my miles are dreaming away

Only 1 of the 4 Pharmasave locations in our city participates and it is the smallest, sketchiest store ever with no price tags anywhere. I need to know how much I'm paying for the dusty bandaids before I get to the cash!!

Don't think I really *need* anything online, but I'll double check my running lists

Not sure any of the card linked offers make sense for us, but it is tempting with all the targetted offers I have for this. Maybe the girls & hubby NEED to share some ice cream from Marble Slab.

I'm impressed with everyone else doing so well!!

Is there a Global Pet Foods near you. You could get some new toys for Cocoa for Christmas. There's always some household cleaning/paper items from Staples (through Airmileshops). Do you do surveys, they apparently count. Any other store you shop at online through Airmileshops? (Michaels)

 

[bababear_50]

Well I did a quick stock up on blue recyclable bags (on sale) at Staples for a 6th offer.
Thanks for the suggestions Ottawamom.

Is the Air Miles online website still not working for anyone else? The app seems fine but it isn't letting me log in on my laptop using Chrome.

Mine's okay today (laptop & chrome)

Browsing History and Cache cleared on my desk top computer and I am now able to get into the Airmiles website.
I also use Chrome.

Mine is ok.

I am on vacation this week (and next) and weather has been perfect for long days in the pool. I haven't been getting many offers done. I think I have one on mine and two on DH's. I'll do Pharmasave tomorrow x 2, I need Shell gas tomorrow (gas + redemption), we are buying a new toilet so that will be Kent, family BBQ this weekend so NSLC. I should be good for 6 offers x 2 by the August 8 deadline.

 

[hdrolfe]

Done pharmasave, and the redemption there as well. I earned 2 AM so redeeming didn't seem to impact that. I think I was supposed to earn 20 on the purchased item but I may have misunderstood. It might have been a "buy 2 earn 20 AM" thing not 20 AM for each. So that's ok any way. Happy to have two more shops done. I'll do something online this weekend, still hoping for a good bonus offer or a decent amazon offer. I did also use my BMO AM MC for Shell and pharmasave so that will get me the 50 AM bonus.

 

[cari12]

Do you think this would count as a redemption for STB? It’s only 20 AM to do so would be great if it fulfilled an offer.

I feel like AM should have a counter that lets you know how many you’ve completed as you go s as long.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

So, I did my Pharmasave + Redemption offers today on both cards.

I only got an Air Miles email confirming the redemption on MY card, nothing for DH's. All transactions are showing correctly in both accounts. Lo and behold, my 50 miles for the redemption at Pharmasave have already posted to my card. Nothing to DH's. I hope I don't have to fight for the 50 miles AND the full STB 500!

Edit to add: I was confused with another redemption offer for 50 miles that I previously did LOL I have about six outstanding offers that I need posted.

 

[kimbert]

I wound up stumbling into 6 offers. I knew I could get 4 but I also had missed that each AMshops store counts, so I thought I was maxed out at 4. (Thanks to this group I know now I would have been okay to get 6 by using other retailers on AMshops). But also thanks to this group, I went and did some surveys.
Then I found myself near a Shell (I don't get gas there) that had a retail location (our Shells often have other stores as their retailer if that makes sense... the gas will be Shell, but the convenience store part is Needs (scene+) or something else).
So I took a page from Bababear's notebook and bought myself some tasty beverages =)
All 6 have posted already, so... Thanks!

So let me get this straight - if I shop at 3 online shoppes that counts as 3 offers?
I have 4 offers done so far - Shell, receipts, evoucher redemption and Staples so if I do 2 more online shops I will fulfill the 6 offers?

 

[ottawamom]

Yes. There isn't a limit on the # of Aimileshops you can do, they just need to be unique stores.

Time for a reality check for myself, and anyone else who is pushing themselves to complete 6 offers!

I can't redeem cash miles because I don't have any (wish I had switched my earnings before the ONYX 20x posted yesterday) so I need to BUY things to get each offer. Here's the breakdown I just did in case anyone else hadn't done the math yet

1. Complete 2 offers and get 100 miles which is about $10 return. IF you have nothing like a Shell retail store (earn rate 1 mile/$5) or a Pharmasave (earn rate 1 mile/$10) or buy a receipt item (no extra outlay of cash) you need to spend $40
2. Complete 4 offers and get 300 miles, about $30 return. Same math as above, you've now spent $80
3. Complete 6 offers and get 500 miles, about $50 return (pffft, we know you can't use them in anything other than $10 increments Airmiles!!). Same math as above and now you're up to $120 !

SO, I'll probably be able to do 2 offers because i need to buy egg whites and that meets the new threshold of $4 for eggs. If I can scrape together TWO online order of things we NEED, I can push it to the 4 offers but that means spending another $40 and getting only an extra $20-ish back. The return for this promo is pathetic IMHO

SIDE NOTE - if you were waiting to do a card-linked offer, they changed today and some (like Marble Slab) are no longer included
