    Has/Did anyone receive 75AM yet for doing the receipts offer Mar 8-11? Usually those AM post at the same time as the offer. Got my 3 for the cucumber but nothing else yet.

    There are some medicines which don't require a prescription but are behind the counter for various reasons. High dose Iron pills are one example. Those are the items that are excluded as well as prescription medication. If you can find the items on the shelf (in front of the pharmacy or in the...

    If I learned two things from my own experience with my mother and a broken hip it was. 1. make sure they get food into her after they decide "not today". I went through days waiting for the surgery to happen and my mom got progressively weaker with each passing day as she was not eating...

    DH is off on a little roadtrip today to use up gas so I will be able to do one more fillup before the end of the month. When I combine his offers with that flash offer it will be more Airmiles than I have earned in quite a while (105AM).

    Healing thoughts for your mother. As someone who has had gallbladder surgery she should make a full recovery and be able to go back to her regular routines after healing. I'm hoping they will be able to do it laparoscopicaly. Recovery is so much quicker.

    That's how I read it. 50 Base miles maximum per 24 hour period = 2000AM per 24 hour period.

    DH just got this in his email. Shopping dates are March 29-April 1. I didn't get it on the other two accounts. I prefer to shop for a holiday meal a week or so ahead of time so I don't think I'll be doing this one as I'd need to spend $100 on groceries at Metro to break even.

    It was an option made available to a few collectors as part of a pilot project. The project is set to end Mar 31 and then they will decide if it will be rolled out to a wider audience. In other words we'll be waiting forever to do it. I took advantage of this with DS card and have been using...

    Porter to start flights to Orlando

    Your car is probably safer at home than the airport for a week anyway.

    There haven't been many great offers recently and Airmiles is moving at a snails pace to post a bunch of offers from earlier in the month. I have a couple of offers that 1/2 posted (Amazon), I'll have to follow up at 120 days. For now, I sit and wait. Come on Airmiles throw us a couple of good...

    Canadian resident tickets?

    Now I find this out. I just switched my 5 day Canadian tickets to the new promotion 4 day tickets. I was only going to use 4 days anyway. Good to know for future reference.

    I figured out an expensive work around. I have a 5 day Canadian Resident ticket. I'm only using 4 days of it then we are heading over to Universal. I called Disney and had them change my 5 day ticket to the 4 park 4 day ticket deal they have on right now. No restrictions, no will-call needed...

    Anyone know how early Guest Services opens outside Magic Kingdom. Our flight arrives in Orlando too late to make it to Disney Springs to validate my Canadian Resident ticket. If my two travelling companions do not have MB do I have to get their park tickets (currently showing in my MDE) at...

    I'm having a hard time doing the Shell offers these days. We just don't drive much anymore. I'll have to pass this one by.

    Follow up. Immediately does mean immediately. I called and spoke with another agent who informed me I should have seen them right away in my account. It took her quite a while and a lot of typing to figure out what was going on. In the end they are now safely back in my account. So if you...

    Yes those are all clearing houses. I just meant your travel agent (Airmiles) isn't doing the booking with the end supplier themselves. They have farmed it out to another organization who is able to get better deals because of the volume they deal with. I've got another call into Airmiles...

    I was just looking at my cancelled hotel reservation on Airmiles. I clicked on View and the following message came up. Contact VAX Tech support... It looks to me like Airmiles now uses a group called VAX VacationAccess to book hotel reservations. I knew they were going through a clearing house...

    Anyone have experience with cancelling a reservation and the agent saying the AM will be back in your account immediately. Is that code for 2 or 3 days? Or do I need to sit and wait for a call back again. Not sure why I do this to myself. Oh right to save money.

    I hear you on that one. I find, sometimes, when I call that I am telling the person at the other end what they have to do to fix my "legacy" Rogers cable. They only know the current scripts they have in front of them. Part of me can't wait until they do away with it in this area and then I can...
