Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[juniorbugman]

Well even though my 3 Airmiles shoppes haven't posted yet I did have the shop multi partner offer post today.
I will still chase down the 3 missing shops but I guess the Shell, Metro and cardlink worked. I thought it said that you had to do an airmiles shop as well but I guess I was wrong.

I just checked my balance for this year and sadly I will not be making Onyx again this year as so far I have only collected 1886 miles. I made Gold and so has my Mom's account. Sobeys leaving and all lack of promotions has made it much harder for me to collect miles as I don't have any of the AirMiles credit cards. Oh well it was nice while it lasted.

The 4 girls are finally in a taxi on their way to Disney now - left home around noon, flight left Toronto at 4:15, one very looong day. Luckily they listened to me and there's a grocery order waiting at the resort for them since nothing is open anymore. They got the room notification while sitting at Pearson and then spent about 90 minutes via the chat in the app getting that fixed up - they had assigned them to a King accessible room, no murphy bed, wheel-in shower, hearing assist the whole shebang which would be great if, you know, they needed that! No idea how the system put a group of 4 in a room with a max capacity of 2 but once again, luckily i was on point from my couch, pulled up my subscription to Touring Plans so I could help them figure out that whole mess!
The nuero-typical twin had a meltdown when they announced the airport they had landed in because "WHERE"S MICKEY?!?! The one everyone expected would freak out was apparently more concerned that her sister was crying which led to other kids getting antsy as well. All's well now though, and once they send me a message telling me that they're inside the room I will go to bed!

@juniorbugman thanks for posting about the 175AM posting. Mine did as well on DH and DS accounts. There are so many Metro/Shell offers that are slow to post it's hard to keep track of what has and hasn't.

I don't do all the offers anymore so it's nice when someone mentions which have posted when they do so I can figure out which of mine have. (if that makes sense)

Off to go look at the flyers and figure out how to spend my new Cash miles.

Oh yeah! Disney GC, I need some of those.

I didn't get the dollarama offer either but I grabbed an anniversary card, a plastic tote for under the sink and a $25 gift card for amazon. Turned around and used that for qualifying items and those miles have already posted. So I spent 31 and earned 110 from the link offers and 101 from amazon (had an offer for earn one mile get 100), that's a great return in my mind

Personally I won't be buying disney gift cards there though, only get 10 miles per $30 but if I get them at Metro I'll get whatever that works out to with the current extra miles for the summer offer.

I did the math on that as well. With the 5X offer on BMO MC, for every $100, Metro will give me 41 AMs. Dollarama would be 33 AMs. That's if I did the math correctly.
I did purchase a giftcard for Disney from Dollarama, $30. That was to collect the 10 AMs as well as the 100 AMs for the collect one from cardlink. Since you can only use the cardlink offer once (I believe) I will use Metro for gift cards again.
Since we are leaving in just a few weeks, I may get a few more Disney ones to take.

Thanks for the heads up about the GC at Foodland Mel. I need to go and get some egg rolls at our nearby store so I'll get some GC there as well and use them when I shop locally at FreshCo.

I'm guessing I'll need to get dh's mastercard to hit the dollar store. I rarely walk out of there with less than 20.00 worth of items. I need a few things again to reorganize my cupboards.

75 AM is 75 AM. I'll take whatever AM I can get.

Re: Dollarama. I am going to buy a $30 Amazon gift card and then use that for my AM Shops/100 miles offer. This way I am essentially doing the Dollarama for "Free". lol

Have a Great Day!

Flash Offer
Opt In

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

If you the terms for the 30x, it has a section for the bonus miles on card linked offers. So if Dollarama has an offer for 10 bonus miles, would we get 300?

 

[hdrolfe]

Guess I'll do my Dollarama shopping this weekend and hope for the 100 + 75 AM offers.

I don't seem to have that online one though sadly. I could use it lol. Still back to school shopping to finish up

 

[bababear_50]

Remember the Dollarama offer I posted is only good from today Aug 18th to Sunday Aug 20th.
The other offer 30X does not start till Friday 25th. and is only good for 2 days.
Both offers are on the website and I had to Opt In to both.

Have a great day
