Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ottawamom]

Got an email from Airmiles - one day only get 150 Airmiles at Rexall with printed or mobile coupon Thursday May 3 when you spend $50. I'm at work and can't share the link sorry! Is it new? I didn't see it posted yet.

I just saw the email too. Here it is https://s3.amazonaws.com/emailsquareknot/SPLASHPAGES/37774_Rexall_OttawaSale_Coupon.html **Note: this appears to be for the Ottawa area only**
I should mention that I checked my email this morning, went to the store at 9:30 to pick up $50 worth of stuff using the earlier coupon and L&G, came home to find this coupon in the email. UGH!! I am now debating as to whether I go back and return my items and repurchase them or just let it go.

Did anyone ever get the other points from the sobeys gift cards that were part of spring MM but also in flyer?

 

[ottawamom]

I have been wondering about these points as well. I haven't seen anything yet for the MM coupon. I assume what I got were the AM for the in-store promotion not the MM coupon. I'm not certain how long they said it would take for the AM to post it's not on the back of the coupon copy I have. I figured I would be waiting until 120 days to argue it with Airmiles.

Edit to add: In fact what I got was the in-store promotion because I had to go back to Urban Fresh and fight for them. My receipt from the original transaction shows the PLU code and zero AM (not unusual) but then that was a weird day and promotion. Someone is likely having to go through individual transactions to see what to award to who. Or maybe they will only award AM to those who notice them missing call in and complain.

This is what I think and hope is happening.

My first thought was if you were able to stack the LnG offer it won't be worth the extra 50 miles then I remembered that most people have mentioned that returning items to Rexall doesn't lead to miles being clawed back... SO you could always go shopping again tomorrow and snag the 150 extra miles and next week return the stuff

 

[ottawamom]

I was actually contemplating returning what I purchased today (my card) when I go in tomorrow and then purchasing it all again using DH L&G and the new email coupon. It will be a minimum of 100 extra AM or a possible 200AM

If anyone is ever looking for fast turn-around time for AM - TurboTax! I purchased on Monday through the airmilesshop (way to go at submitting my taxes at the last possible moment...) and the points are there today. Base (3), 10X multiplier (27), 15X multiplier (42) and an extra "10X multiplier" that netted me 9AM (that I have no clue where they came from). Granted, TurboTax probably isn't something you'll use every day, but when you do need it, at least you don't have to chase them down!

Yup not much in the Sobeys, but they do have GC for Daves tea, wayspa, la via en rose. $50 gets 75AM. Good timing was about to buy a robe at LVER for mothers day and now I get AM for it.

I wonder if this is as good as it'll get for Mother's Day. I keep seeing deals for Davids Tea, and LVER the past few weeks (discounts not AM), I need other retailers to qualify for AM too!. Although the Wayspa gift card is a pretty good deal, it can be used at many hair salons also not just your typical "spa".

I mentioned last week to my mother-in-law the Shell giftcard promo, so she went the next day and got a $100 giftcard and told me she got 210 Miles on her receipt for it. They posted on her account today, so I went to the same location and had the same thing happen. $500 in giftcards purcased (5 seperate $100 purchases) and 1050 Miles earned!!! I’ll go again tomorrow and get some more!

Aww yes, the coupon/flyer offers for Sobeys/Urban Fresh AND Metro that happened! The GC one was extremely confusing on the first day with some getting nothing, some getting the coupon and others getting BOTH. There was an email from Sobeys that someone saw that stated people will be getting both offers ... blah blah blah..

I have the timeline in the first post of the MM thread and a quick peek there says the last date for any miles to be posted from any of the coupons is (sitting down??) August 10th

Where might this be? If it's within and hours drive for me I'm there.

So not AM, but those same GC are available at CanTire at 20% off, which is better than the 15%am works out to. Plus for those who can, I can't, purchase Can tire card at Shell then turn around and get the others at CanTire. BUT I can not confirm that you can do this Just a Heads Up.

wow if true this is great news. The I went tonight in Ottawa and the gift card shelves are seriously depleted. I am going to finish my basement, put in central vac and build deck on my house so I will likely be buying $10,000 worth of home depot cards if I can

 

[TFC_UNTIL_I_DIE]

hmmmm.....it only seems to apply to 2 locations in Alberta in Okotoks......a bit odd.

Sadly, I'm nowhere near any of those Shell gas stations with the air miles gift card deals. I can only dream of stocking up on those gift cards - Xmas gifts, birthday gifts, teacher gifts, gift to self ....Maybe I can convince my husband to do a road trip sometime, lol.

I'm going to buy a couple of bottles of Tim's Ice Coffee and then pay for the new air conditioner that the tech just told me I need.
