Airmiles MEGA MILES ****Bonus miles are posting now*** Timeline added to 1st post

[Donald - my hero]

Now are those good for all, or do you have to be in those provinces to use them. IE. Sobeys Atlantic coupon used in Ontario?

Other than the ones that require on-line sign up (IGA, HBC & Online Survey thingee) the shopping will need to happen in the province the coupon is from. There are ways around this though -- you just need to find someone who is willing to do the physical shopping while presenting YOUR card. This happened last promo and some have offered again this time -- I have a list (still small yet) in post # 5

I can just see you pushing your car into the Station to make sure you can get the airmiles . Dh put $50 in ours yesterday and it was less than 3/4 of a tank. Gas has been so high!

I was in to Shell this afternoon. In London (don't know if it is all over), you get 3 cents off/litre with an airmiles card. I went in to pay and asked for the Mega Miles books. I tore out the coupon, she scanned it and handed it back to me with "You can use this up to 6 times." Because we are driving to pick up/drop off our granddaughter every other week, we'll be able to get those extra 10 airmiles a couple of times. Small things make me happy!

Ok gang, the Duck is quite pleased (i mean BEYOND pleased) with what i just managed to get from Airmiles after letting them know the exact Urban Fresh i had trouble with yesterday and just how hard it is for me to get there --- OH--EM--GEE I was told to not (overly) share it with others but you are my family! I now possess a link to (sitting down) EVERY. SINGLE.COUPON. for --- THE ENTIRE COUNTRY!!!!!

Not to burst your bubble but they handed that same link to me yesterday. That's how I knew about the Metro coupon. It is a very handy link (could be extremely useful 150 days from now)

 

[Raimiette]

Just a head's up. A new Metro coupon has shown up on the Ontario Mega Miles page: “Get 50 Bonus Miles when you use 95 Cash Miles” usable March 22-25.

Good for an easy redemption for the promo if you have the cash miles to spare. Sadly I can't use this as I don't get back to Canada until the 27th (my vacation plans are really stunting my Airmiles game lol)

I think we yell and over react some times because we are frustrated because we expect stores/managers/checkout people to actually have a clue about what their are supposed to know.... btw often it's because of other peoples yelling that makes it better for the next people
I love reading people's rants and often see myself in their shoes....

What about the one for signing up at a new IGA account in Quebec? There doesn't seem to be a purchase involved there. Can people in the rest of the country sign up? I wonder if it is cross referenced with other Sobey accounts?

Just tried booking thru airmiles hub to use as one of the 5 shops, had a terrible time on the website spent about 30 minutes trying to figure it out, it seems to have locked the previous information somewhere (used a diff airmiles card before) so it kept saying this email was used for on a different account kept trying different email addresses I even checked to make sure it was the same one I use for the airmiles card but I believe travel hub has their own system.. anyhow got really frustrated and decided to call travel hub. they didn't offer to help me figure out what was happening but just booked the hotel for me online so my question is
will that count as a shop as it says on the coupon has to be travel hub online....

I had a very similar issue yesterday. Was ordering from Loews through the AM portal and it keep telling me my email was in use and to put in a password. I went to forgot password and it told me the email was not registered. Online chat was no help. It was very frustrating. Plus, to make it even worse, my cart kept empting on me and I would put the items back in and they would disappear again. They really need to fix their portals.

Have to see if these will count towards Onyx

I think this question got lost in the shuffle, sorry! According to the FAQs, yes and if the StB is any indication it will happen immediately when the miles are credited

Q: Will the Miles I get from MEGA MILES count towards my qualification for Gold/Onyx® status?
A: The Miles you get from participating in MEGA MILES will count towards your 2019 Gold/Onyx status.

Just adding the visual to what ottawamom and Raimiette have posted, sorry if it's a duplicate, didn't have time to read through everything.

Does anybody know when the Staples airmiles usually post? My daughter bought a new iPhone there today
(spent $1000) and when I went to use the coupon out of the booklet I didn't notice it didn't have a bar code. The instore coupon they had said 10 airmiles but the one on the website said 10X so I want to make sure right away that we got all the miles we were supposed to.

 

[Dylemma1]

Are the sobeys gift cards in $150 denominations? will it count if I get 3 $50 gift cards or do I just buy a blank one and load it with $150.00

I've found that Staples is pretty erratic at posting miles --- sometimes the next day, other times not until i chase them down. If this was me I'd be either going back to the store and asking if they could please do a refund and then let me repurchase it using the correct coupon OR i would phone Airmiles and ask them if they can help out. I have no idea what coupon you would have used in store but i do know that the code you *should* be able to see on your receipt is 9004 and since this is for a LOT of miles you should have received 1000/40 * 10 = 250 miles plus it is one coupon towards the 1250 total you shouldn't wait to chase them down.

I know a couple of people shopped on Thursday, let's see if they can help by telling you what is on their receipts ...@Disney Addicted @ottawamom

The terms on the coupon don't explicitly say it needs to be one card (there have been times when it does say exactly what you need to use) but this is the type of miles that will show on the receipt so don't leave until you get the miles. If you're lucky you should be able to find a cashier who will let you try the 3 $50 cards and see if it works. Me? I'd be buying the $150 to make sure i've used the coupon correctly though.

In case anyone is wondering about the LCBO coupons ..
Dh went and bought 2 bottles of the wine in two separate transactions for me yesterday. No physical coupon needed to be used. He used my airmiles card for one and his for the other. There was no indication of airmiles or bonus on either receipt. They posted over night (LCBO is always fast), and the 5 bonus miles for the offer are showing on each airmile account. Just wanted to let others know how it worked and what to expect.

I did the Staple offer on Thursday and on my receipt it's written No coupon BEG: 90040 with -0.01 as an amount next to it. My receipt is in French so BEG is for Bureau en Gros. I would assume that the code is the same. If you don't have that code, I would go back.
