I zoomed in--here in Ont ,,,I am hopeful for a
1. Rexall offer
2. Sobeys offer
3. Shell offer ---but with my small car I may have to ask a friend to fill up their big car-truck
4. LCBO offer--but not a fancy 100.00 bottle of champagne
5. Foodland OR Metro offer
Hugs Mel

Come on Mel treat yourself for retirement with a big bottle of champagne.

Thanks for the link, they had the coupons for QC! I will probably be able to use coupons from at least 6 merchants just in Qc, not counting the ON I probably can do also. I can probably help one or two people once I have all my offers done (e.g. I can go back to Rachelle-Béry or Jean Coutu and use your AM number when making my purchase instead of mine).

My plan for QC coupons:
1. Jean Coutu
2. IGA
3. Rachelle-Béry
4. Travel Hub
5. The Bay
6. Shell

My plan for ON coupons: timing is good since we'll probably visit Ottawa March 7-8
7. Foodland
8. Sobeys
9. Rexall

I'm going to Sobeys shortly, so I will look to see if they have the booklets out yet and take screenshots when I am home (Sobeys Atlantic).

The the travel hub coupon it always says your book your first hotel stay - so if I’ve used it in past promos I won’t be able to use it again, right?

Question about the Travel Hub (I've never used it before).
We're probably going to take the kiddos to Niagara Falls for a few days over March Break. Just for a change of scenery and some fun. Found a hotel that has an indoor pool and family suites for $79 per night (Say What???)
It says book and get 295 AM. The current booking link has a bonus of 75 AM and UP TO 1000 AM per night. Of course I will be waiting for the new offers at the end of the week to use the coupon which says get $100 AM when you spend $100, and UP TO 1000 AM per night.
We'll be spending 2 nights, possibly 3 (just waiting on DH's employer to confirm his vacation request), so will for sure be spending over $100.
All that to ask.... Is the 295 AM the "up to 1000"? If that's correct, I would have 690 for a 2 night stay (290 per night + the 100 bonus?)

AM I the only one! I am going absolutely stir crazy not knowing what the offers are going to be come Thursday. I have my attack planned out based on what is projected for Ontario based on Quebec and Manitoba. This is driving me nuts.

I have FP+ reservations to make on Tuesday for my upcoming trip. I went through and did up a spreadsheet of booking order based on popularity of FP's to try and distract myself but now I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for more info about Mega Miles.

If there are ever any bonus offers thru the Travel Hub the correct # of miles will show -- and it will include the extras. This is what i see when i open the website

once I go to the next screen to look at hotels i see this at the top of the screen

And when i look at a hotel i can see that the miles have already been added (looked hard to find one that has easy math )

In this case the **100 miles** which is now **175 miles** is the "up-to" amount.

*** specific to your mentioned hotel .. be careful what you pick, some of them aren't even worth the amounts I'm seeing quoted! Use Travelocity and look for very recent reviews taking care to read the negative ones. I don't want to hear in a few weeks that you had a lousy time. Have a blast, we often did that during March Break, close enough to not go bonkers in the car but far enough to feel we had gone somewhere

Anxious for the Ontario booklet! Based on the other provinces, I think I can only do 4 partners, not 5. Unless I force myself to buy Children's Place stuff for my DS11, who only wants to wear Nike or Under Armour these days.

 

[buyerbrad]

$50 Home Depot giftcard + propane refill = 82 Miles from Shell. Has anybody tried buying a Shell giftcard to get the bonus miles?

I believe they are specifically excluded from the offer.

So glad to be back on this board getting ready for our next trip!

Spent $156 at Sobeys on Friday, got 596 miles. That made me happy. Also got 113 Miles at Rexall for $58, not the best deal but I got the Easter treats I wanted, and bought birthday cards for my kids, niece and nephews coming up. Thank you!

I’m not sure we have anything here that other provinces don’t, but I’m in Manitoba if anybody needs help with MegaMiles. I’m hoping to do 5 offers twice (once with my card, once with my husbands) to get two more passes for Universal Hollywood.
We’ll see, I refuse to buy things I normally wouldn’t...kind of defeats the purpose.

Be VERY careful choosing a hotel in Niagara. I live 45 minutes away and we stay there often. Many hotels are really gross. They can be very dirty and run down as well as the other guests leave much to be desired. The nice places will run you at least $130/night.....more like $175-200/night. They will also ding you for parking.

Followed alohamom's post and Ontario has just been posted, post #84. Hard to read but it looks like Sobeys has a 150/$150 Sobeys GC as well as a pharmacy coupon.

hope we can do this more that once. Even if you only get credit towards the bonus for 1. If you can get 150 for each one, then here we go.

I’ve never seen a Sobey’s with a pharmacy. I don’t think there is any in this area. I am trying to get to 5 offers on 3 cards (Dh, dd, and mine).
I’m not sure I want to tie up $450 in Sobey’s gift cards. Even though I can go to the Freshco with them, I am preferring to shop at Nofrills these days and earn PC optimum points. I will have to think on that one, but I plan to do one on one card. I”ll do Rexall on all three cards. None of us did the HBC offer during STB so we can all do that one. We are good for three offers at Shell. I will just have to see what is least expensive or works the best for the other offers.

NO...you are not lol. I'm on edge to see what they are in the west here. The dd and her fiance have decided to do a destination wedding instead of a big fancy wedding and use the money they would have used for their wedding to purchase a home. So this momma needs to get collecting miles so that I can exchange them into travel vouchers to hopefully knock off some of the price of the holiday for us. Lord help me!!!! lol

The Sobeys in North Ajax on Highway 2 has a pharmacy inside it so I can make that deal.

I've pulled together the images i could find for the MM booklets from Quebec, Manitoba & Ontario and stuck them in that thread. The Ontario one isn't a great image, I'll keep looking for better ones!
