Airmiles Armchair Chatter

I managed to collect 10,640 AM this year...I am keeping my fingers crossed that AM still offers DL tickets next year that will not be blocked out for Christmas (like the WDW ones were)...if they are, we will probably move up our Christmas trip to the first week of December and "pretend" it is Christmas one day...

I would like to wish every a very Happy New Year and thanks for all the tips for collecting AM...here's to an amazing Air Miles filled 2019!!!!!!!

Have you been to Universal?? OMG, we kept saying to each other "WOW, that's exactly how it looked, we NEED to go back!!!!"

This is the first time we've done a binge of these movies and it was only the 2nd time we'd seen The Goblet of Fire, I'd forgotten so much about it that it was like the first time. I'm in awe of how her mind works to have weaved a story with so many incredible details that flow seamlessly from the first movie thru the entire series. OH and how did those kids grow up so quickly?!?!?!

Yes, the harry potter parts of universal are amazing! They’re so so well done, and I could have butterbeer-flavored everything. We didn’t go this time because there’s just nothing to do with a baby (even Dr. Seuss land has height minimums...) but I did miss the immersive theming.
 
Here's to a wonderful 2019 gang, hope everyone enjoys the last of the holiday season doing whatever makes you feel happy!

Woohoo!

I am hoping for some Sobeys gift card miles offers. Will be doing my shopping at FreshCo for January unless Sobeys has any amazing offers... want to save a bit more now that the holidays are over! :)

I can book our flights via AM for our November WDW trip TOMORROW! :)
 
Hmm - I just checked the Universal Orlando ticket rewards on AM and they don't have the 1 day 2 park ticket anymore... my husband and I are only going for the 1 day and I don't want to pay $400 out of pocket for that 1 day LOL. It was 2350AM which I guess works out to $250 per ticket... so maybe either way it's expensive!

I am going to make a suggestion, don't know for sure if it will work but have heard others say they have done it. Why not order the 2 day 2 park pass. Once you are there you should be able to break it down to two one day two park tickets. It may cost a few dollars more but it certainly will save money in the long run.
I have ordered a ticket from AM and changed it to AP and know that works but never this way. As I said though, I have read others say they have done what I suggested. Think about it, it may be worth a try.

I think @Donald - my hero may have done this or maybe it was @damo but I know someone on the Canadian Disboards did something like what @tinkerone suggests above

We may be out of luck until Mega Miles in March for Gift Cards. There have been a few "other" stores GC offers in February but Sobeys hasn't had one the past few years until March (mid and late).

New spreadsheet prepared, outstanding items from 2018 rolled forward. All set for a new year of hunting. Lets hope its a good one.
 
Yes, I believe Jacqueline downgraded a UO 2-day ticket to a 1-day ticket before. However, she got a gift card for the balance. Probably the gift card can be used to purchase another 1-day ticket.
 
I thought on this first day of the year we could play a little game of goal setting for the year (Airmiles wise that is). My goal for this year is 30,000AM and another 10,000AM on DH card. (he has 2000 coming from a CC offer as soon as he pays the car insurance)

Anyone else want to share their goals for the year (or do you just wing it and see what you can do).

My goal is usually just to make Onyx :) I have gotten well over the past few years thanks to this group! I'd like to get to 15K this year, but we'll see how that works out.

good idea! my goal is 20 000. I still only have the one card, but if the spring bonus is even decently manageable, this might be the year my wife joins air miles too!

are you saving for something in particular?

It wasn't me. I have successfully upgraded to an annual pass but haven't downgraded.

Oh that must be what I was thinking.

My goal is 25000 this year, hopefully a good chunk will come from DH’s work travel through red tag and Travel hub. I have 4000 already on the way with the BMO second bonus and STB :)
