There is a Global offer, spend $20 get 20 AM, have to opt in. Not much but a little bit extra.

Need to OPT-IN!

Can anyone help me determine if earning bonus miles, but not spending enough to earn a base mile at one place (Kent stores here in NS) will count as "earning a mile"?
The terms say, earn a mile... but when you read this paragraph is uses the terminology of base miles.
"See airmiles.ca for a list of eligible partners and each partner’s unique base offer purchase requirements and terms and conditions.

Thoughts? Thanks

Keeping a copy of this email as the wording when credited to my account does not say "Redemption" but the word "Merchandise"? Just to be on the safe side.

I did a redemption for $50 Disney GC and stopped to get kiddo more mayo, he sure eats it fast. The receipt worked for 6 AM (bought two jars) so that's two items done. Debating on Shell today but the premium gas is so much more expensive than the regular even if it would earn me 95 AM. I'm not sure it's worth the extra cost. 30 L at about 30 cents more per L is $9 extra spent to earn $10 back? Doesn't really feel worth it. Hmm.

 

[bababear_50]

Yeah the savings on the more expensive gas seems not quite worth it to me.
I got gas today but used one of my Canadian Tire Gift Cards I purchased a few months ago at Shell for 30 Airmiles.
Maybe a $5 spend at Shell for a couple of Santa stocking treats?

I just got the regular gas. I needed a full tank, and I'm good with it counting for Shop the Block-I usually need gas juuuuust before, so can't make use of that offer.

I was in the area, so did my Pharmasave shop (used my BMO AM cc). The airmile posted immediately, and joins the Shell, Old Navy (airmilesshops) and Airmiles receipts as done. I'm still waiting on the Amazon through airmilesshops to post, (and the AM for redeeming 95AM for an evoucher). So, technically, I'm done.

I usually buy my relatives the OLG gift packs with scratch cards inside for Christmas. Where is the best place to buy them so I can take advantage of Shop The Block. Would I need to buy them with my card linked card? Thank you.

You need to use a self- service kiosk , they look like a vending machine, I've seen them in multiple grocery stores in our city, mainly zehrs (part of the loblaws chain) and you can get either draw tickets or scratch ones as well. If you use your linked Mastercard that will give you an extra 50 miles.

Here's the webpage with info from OLG

Thank you so much!

If you purchase thru the kiosk, does that count as one of the partners for STB - as it would be card-link?

yes, that is the only way to get the OLG card- link offer , thru the kiosk. I was super annoyed last time around because other than one or two locations in downtown Toronto they hadn't been rolled out yet.

you can get miles from lottery purchases occasionally at Shell but those are only during stated promotions and usually for draw based lotteries only.

ETA, you can do of the multiple card linked offers and each one will count as an offer, but only the first time you do it. Example, do the OLG kiosk one, 3 separate transactions of $10 and you'll get 30 miles (offer is 10 miles/$10) BUT that will only count as 1 offer. Spend the $25 at Marble Slab (last time we got an ice cream cake for a birthday celebration) and get those miles plus a 2nd STB offer completed.

I had to do a chat in order to find out locations of kiosks near me. Went there, but they don't carry the Christmas packs in the machines, which is what I wanted. Oh well.

I’ve finally got my act together and started this thing.

My account…
Shell… still need
Pharmasave…done
OLG…done
Receipts…done
Survey…done as a back up, don’t see that it actually counts
Miles cash redemption…still need

DD’s account…
Shell…done and got the premium gas for 95 + 50 for the monthly fill up
Pharmasave…done
Receipts…done
Miles cash redemption…still need
Air miles shops…still need


The other day I placed an order from Staples that ended up going through as ‘business and copy’ so I don’t know if I’m getting any miles for that. It should be ready for pick up in the next couple of days. We shall wait patiently.

I wish my toothless dog was sorted out with her food. That would be an easy one. We are still trying to finish a 30lb bag of kibble (softened daily) and she can’t eat any of the treats they sell.

 

[bababear_50]

This is the one I was worried about but it post. Yeah

So far I have done Shell, receipts, evoucher. I am going to do Walmart online shop and may do the kiosk for my 5th or another online shop. I cashed in for an evoucher for Walmart which I am going to use to pay for part of my Walmart purchase.
I had to read all the small print for the Walmart shop and found out that household supplies (Christmas paper plates and stuff) are in that category so I removed them from my cart. I was going to do 2 purchases but I actually found some paper plate sets at Dollarama that were cheaper and all matchy matchy so I bought them instead and won't need to make a 2nd Walmart shop.
Now to hope that my Walmart points post correctly as they were all the correct categories.
