Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[juniorbugman]

I didn't receive that email yet but I hope I do. I just checked my status and I have collected 516 miles already this year. Wow but I still hope I get the email.

 

[bababear_50]

Wow that is a great Airmiles email offer to get .
So far none for me but maybe tomorrow.

Got one for my second card but not for the main one. I want it for the main one, lol.

 

[marchingstar]

i got the email! i hope they’re making their way to all of us.

do you think the double miles will apply to base miles only, or base and bonus?

edit: found the answer in the terms donald posted : “All Bonus Miles and any base Miles earned through AIR MILES credit cards and travel are not eligible Miles and do not qualify for this offer”

 

[juniorbugman]

I got my email so I am now good to go.

 

[bababear_50]

I spoke too soon...just got the email too.

It says Onyx members
"Please note that as of February 5, 2021, the Onyx status merchandise discounts that you currently have access to will change to up to 10% off all Merchandise Reward orders3."
See .... see ..... they are trying to get me to spend my hard earned vacation Airmiles on a electric hot air brush. (Time to contact the gatekeeper). lol

This is a change from the current 20% though isn't it?

I've tried to make sense of that myself which is why i posted the terms. Doesn't the section you quoted mean that any miles associated from using our credit cards won't double? Example being with the MasterCard used at Shell gave base miles and then some weird multiplier bonus as well? Shows up on my account like this for January:

and like this for November

and then like this during a Shell promo


I'm hoping it means JUST the base miles & bonus miles that we collect for using our credit cards don't "count" because I could stand to get some serious miles in the next few weeks -- I have a threshold spend at Metro, something targeted for Shell (those are complicated & confusing for me!)

URGH i hate the brain fog that comes with depression coupled with the rotten side effects of added & increased medications. Makes me feel so frustrated and confused

Dang well I will just have to save those Airmiles for a nice sunny warm trip this summer to Hmmmmmmm..
Wasaga Beach ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,lol I haven't been there since my early teens...lol
Just my 2 cents worth but I don't think it will double for credit card miles , I think it will be Base Miles for all other purchases ,, but hey I am awake at 12:30 am what do I know.

Yes it's very clear that any miles collected from using our credit cards won't be doubled. My confusion is over bonus miles in my offers, or for flyer items, will THOSE be doubled or JUST the base miles (IMHO that's not very exciting!)

Hmmm.....
Early morning Airmiles CHAT question however neither of us is going to be in any shape to do that ..lol
And Holy smoke if they are doubled for flyer items I will be buying more granola bars.

hugs, as always. on top of everything you’re going through, the terms are also just plain vague.

i think unfortunately, it’s saying no multiplier for any bonus miles. i think the big email banner looks great...but i think it might be more flash than substance.

 

[kristabelle13]

Yes, I think they have been transitioning from 20% on merch to 10% with those promotional items that wrapped up...today? This week sometime.

woah, tell me I'm not the only person who just got this email?!?!!!! Double miles all month, ONYX until 2022. You have to click on the link to opt in.

I had seen it posted on " that" fb page...and wondered if any of us would get the offer. I just opened my email to check...and I was able to opt in! I'll take another year of being Onyx without having to actually put much effort in for it

they are trying to get me to spend my hard earned vacation Airmiles on a electric hot air brush. (Time to contact the gatekeeper). lol

I don't want to encourage you to use your AM to get this item....but I have the Conair version, and I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!! I have naturally curly hair (it's a nice beachy curl not super curly) and although I don't use it every time I wash my hair, it is the best thing I have used to straighten my hair!!! I have used a blowdryer and round brush for years. Just be sure to NOT use it on the hottest setting. They all can get so hot they will burn or break your hair off. Don't use it on really wet hair. Make sure it is at least 50% - 75% dried before using it. Your just going to use it to style or finish your hair so you don't have to use a flat iron or anything else on your hair. When I use it, I don't have to use my flat iron at all after. It give my hair LOTS of body and lift. And I have very fine, tangley, hair. It's also not very thick.

When I do use it, my hair stays straight, and DOESN'T get all tangled and I can run my fingers through my hair all day long without having a ton of knots or tangles.

Just checked - still haven't received the email onyx offer. Rats.

 

[mort1331]

dont worry all,,,i am sure its being extended for everyone..too much work for AM to single out just a few.
Hang in there

 

[tinkerone]

Just checked - still haven't received the email onyx offer. Rats.

Me either and I just placed a $400 order at Indigo. Oh well.

Me either.

Edited to add: just got it and opted in

 

[ottawamom]

I will never be able to figure out why it takes Airmiles such a long time to send out mass mailings. And the order in which they do it.

I don't think this was posted so wanted to flag!

I got the Air Miles Platinum American card a couple months ago. This personalized offer came by email last Monday. Using a mobile wallet (for me, Samsung Pay) spend $200 and get 100 Air Miles. It is a lot to spend at once, but my husband had a big LCBO list put together that totalled just over $200. The other drawback is you have to go in person to tap your phone.
