Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Days In the Sun]

I had those tickets and was told repeatedly in December that I couldn't do it without a big up-charge, so I think the person who was able to, got some pixie dust. Over the phone, I was told that they could not do anything because the tickets were from Air Miles. If I had bought them from Disney, it wouldn't have been a problem. In person, I was told that because it was just an online offer, they couldn't do anything.

So unless something changed between December and now, I think there was a lot of pixie dust involved.

I upgraded AM Flex tickets last May and couldn't get the full value of the ticket (Disney considered them deep discounted and not full value) while someone reported upgrading the same tickets in November and getting their full value. IMHO, "Pixie dust" is really "inconsistent service". I do see more posts with Disney being flexible with tickets though so perhaps they are being a little more flexible, especially if you are going to pay more $$$ in the end.

Anyone know how much the Red Bull 4 pkg drink at Shell is,,the one where you get $25 Airmiles(Bonus Boom)?
Can I double dip on Feb 12--1 airmile for every $1.00 spent?

Thanks Mel

Not exactly but what I can tell you is a single is $2.99. Being that it is Shell and a small store I doubt they are a great value but who knows, they could very well be.

I was out of 0 percent fat milk and ran over to Sobeys to get some.
They have their General Mills cereal on sale,,,,buy 3 boxes get each box for $3.33.
So buy 3x $3.33 =$9.99,, get 50 bonus airmiles
My school's breakfast club had it's funding cut this year so I picked up a bunch of cereal= 300 Airmiles.
Staff have been trying to supplement it and keep it going.

All these people talking about Disney changing their tickets....were these base Canadian Promo tickets that you got from Air Miles?

I tried several times to do that and was told emphatically no over the phone and then given a crazy price to do it in the parks.

Yes. The base Cad flex tickets. The cast member was really great, she put me on hold to figure out how to change them, came back and did it. She linked them to mde while I was on the phone. Maybe I got lucky.

Thank you very much Mel. We all benefit when people step up and do things like that for children .

The survey coupon should be disappearing shortly as Rexall is getting out of the Airmiles program.

Well, I guess there is a lesson here to just keep calling until you get someone willing to fix things!!!!

I think the survey coupon may or may not stay as it isn't related to Airmiles but since they are revamping I agree, it may go too. Either way I will be disappearing.

So sad that this thread is quiet now. It used to be booming all day every day with collectors excited about deals they uncovered! *sigh* It's a sign of the times, I guess.

All we need is a good promotion to get us back up and roaring.

 

[bababear_50]

Just a FYI
The Wednesday Rexall Bonus Boom requires a copy of the coupon to be scanned. You might be able to bring it up on your phone for scanning but I am printing mine.
The exact same coupon is available on the Airmiles site so no double dipping ,,dang!

The Bonus Boom coupon can likely be stacked with the $10 off receipt coupon. In a weird way that will double your earning power if you take that savings (next shop) and put it aside.

I highly doubt that the survey coupon will disappear, it has nothing to do with Airmiles. We've shopped @ Rexall since before they joined airmiles and that survey was always at the bottom of the receipt. Lots of businesses use this type of feedback collection to see how they're doing with customer service and if they don't offer some type of incentive people rarely complete them! I used to diligently complete the one for Petro Can when it gave us an extra 200 points but once it switched to just an entry into a contest i stopped doing it!

I don't know if it will go away once the Bewell programme launches but it's possible.

I feel responsible for this thread, one of my babies, and i usually make sure there's at least one post a day to keep it at the top of the first page. However, my life has gone off the rails and I don't have much energy to spare. ** side note, we always have this discussion in January/February, but this year has Rexall added to the mix <sigh>

I knew i would be coming back from Disney to start an extremely restrictive elimination diet. I was already down to only a handful of safe foods over the last 7 months and that's the main reason we went to Disney - i KNEW they could take that list and turn it into not only safe food but yummy meals. They delivered and i might add some of those reports to my "personal thread" that @mort1331 so graciously started for me on the off chance that someone else who deals with food allergies will see them and find some help!
I started this brutal diet last Monday and have 5 foods i can eat for the next 4 - 6 weeks at which point I'll add one.single.item every 1 - 2 weeks, meaning it's gonna be close to a year before I'm eating anything CLOSE to a normal diet. Here's my list:

1. Fish -- which i really don't care for
2. Lard -- which we questioned and have now removed since I already KNEW pork is an issue
3. Tapioca and/or cassava flour -- we've relegated the first to just using to thicken stuff because, well, it's stringy and slimy like something that you might cough up (TMI!) and I'm using the second to make tortillas that taste like dirt
4. Glucose -- which we had trouble sourcing that's not made from corn. found some not sure if it's safe or not
5. Blueberries -- the ONLY thing i don't mind eating but I'm slowly turning purple

OK, sounds gross enough, right? Yeah it gets worse -- i've been feeling like crap since Tuesday and I'm currently waiting to hear from either the allergist or the dietitian to see how much formula i'm to eat and if i can continue to eat the other stuff or just switch. Yup, you read that correctly, BABY FORMULA!

I'm trying to stay on top of things here, but it's hard.

Opinions please!!! I have to book hotels for two weekends... Feb28th and March 13th. The rates on the AM travel Hub are acceptable....the first weekend it's only $4/night more than direct from the hotel with 500+ AM. The second weekend the rate is the same as the hotel with 240 AM. The second one I could book on DD's AM account and get an additional 300 miles.

So my question is this.....do I book now or do I wait for a few days to see if AM announces Mega Miles???
