Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ncarrier]

I will have to check the tags from now on because that could be a game changer for me. Thanks so much!!!

Once per transaction. Buy the first 4, pay for them and go put them in your car. Now go back in the store and buy another 4. Repeat as needed.

IF you get lucky and they have staffed the store with cashiers who "know" their AM, they may break up your cart into the transactions needed, i.e., you pull up with 8 in your cart and they break it up into two different transactions for you. I have a Safeway nearby that basically trains their cashiers to do this intentionally on Blue Fridays But it depends on the line behind you!!!!

oh really? Last couple of times I've used multiple times in the same transaction - sometimes it says "4 item limit" or whatever (and then it might not work), but I haven't had an issue when a limit wasn't specified. For example, I bought 12 jugs of Clamato - no problem - received I guess 300 AMs? (I think it was buy 4 get 100 - but it's been a few weeks )

Actually if you read the fine print on the spend 100 get 100 Am....it also states that it is one transaction per card per day. I have done several transactions in a day. I would just make sure not to go to the same cashier if you think they may " not " let you use the coupon again

Thank you for the conversation on PC Plus above. I had forgotten to link my Optimum card to the PCMC that I have. I now have all those points. And, hopefully, will be getting the emails with the deals for both PC and Shoppers in the one email.

Where do you get the monthly Sobeys offers? I get the weekly ones that I load to my card but not monthly ones.

I started receiving a newsletter email at the end of each month for the following month. I don't remember signing up for it, and it is on the AM website. Log on and click on "get miles" around the top of the home page, then click on find offers, then click on Sobeys/Safeway bonus offers. A list pops up of chosen offers and mine come with 2 spend $150 get 150 AM. They do have to be printed though, and are not loadable onto your card.

 

[TFC_UNTIL_I_DIE]

I did a loop through sobeys stittsville to check in store offers for AM. Not much in fact many of the blue aeroplan tags don' even give points on the item as they are just advertsl. You would barely know sobeys does airmiles this week.

Hey all! Rexall Cresthaven locstion in Barrhaven has tons of H2O products at half price or better! This is the Disney toiletries company

Looking for recommendations for hotels closest to the toronto zoo - I have such bad luck researching non Disney hotels. It looks like the Delta is the top rated and recommended by the zoo. Opinions?

Thanks!

 

[ottawamom]

We stayed there years ago with a hockey team. Went back later in the summer to visit the zoo. They have a package deal with the zoo I believe. If you're ok with sports teams being in the hotel it was a good place to stay. My kids loved the pool with the slide.

Check out tripadvisor for recent reviews.

 

[montrealdisneylovers]

Those of you in the Montreal area. Do we have any good offers like Blue Friday here?? I am getting really jealous reading through this thread!!

 

[Canadian Harmony]

Well I'm not impressed lately with the offers out of Thrifty's here on Vancouver Island! Since the new year started, we've gone from 400+AM/flyer every week to under 200. It's horrible. I swear they do this every year just to make sure I can't get enough AM for my Park Hoppers until the summer!

BUT, Save-on-Foods has a few good points specials going on, so I've taken to splitting my shopping list into 2 - one for each store - and I usually get enough points or AM to make it worthwhile. With SoF points, I can use it for ferry fare or with saving more, they also offer vacations, so I can always look into those for a 'free' vacation to DLR.

But still... 198AM? For things I don't even like.

No Blue Friday for us unfortunately. IGA improved a little since previous years and Rachelle-Béry (grocery store not health store) has some goid promotions once in a while. I live in Lachine so I sometimes drive to ON when Foodland has really good offers. It’s a 1h drive each way for me but worth it if I can get more than 200 AM (my best times were 750-800 AM).

 

[ottawamom]

Just back from Rexall. Split my purchase into two transactions and managed to come home with 279AM for a $107 spend. When I was a Sobeys yesterday I only picked up items with my targeted offers none of the other deals they had in the store seemed worth it (that or I didn't need them at the moment). I hope Mega Miles brings us some good offers next week because this is getting a little depressing.

 

[kerreyn]

Just back from my Blue Friday haul.

I had 3 orders - yes, the cashier processed the spend $100 get 100AM for each order (and yes, I was able to buy multiples of items to get multiples of air miles ie.: 4 pkg of toilet paper for 100 am instead of the posted buy 2 get 50), for a total of $332.08 spent and 1181 air miles earned.

 

[mernin]

I managed to spend more than I thought I would this am at Sobeys for Blue Friday. Spend $290 for 665 airmiles. The cashier said she didn't think airmiles would let me do the 100AM for $100 twice on the same day with the same card. I mentioned that I've done it before and it worked so she split mine for me. It shows on the receipt but she mentioned that airmiles may not actually credit it based on the terms of the coupon. I turned my earning to 50/50 cash/dream for today so that I have some in the cash bank for the spring mega miles. Now to remember to turn it back!

 

[Donald - my hero]

I see that Shoppers has a 20X the points on Saturday. I might see if I can squeeze out 50.00 there. I do have a spend 100 get 10,000 points at No Frills for the next 2 days. But If I can spend 50.00 and get 20x the points...I'm not interested in the No Frills one. It might change my weekly offers if I try to shop more at shoppers. It doesn't hurt to try.

Hoping to get in a Safeway shop on Friday over my lunch for Blue Friday. I hope to make off with a good amount of AM. I have in my head that Ikea commercial of " start the car, start the car" and running out of the store!!!

You have NO idea how many times we actually say & do this! (not the IKEA shopping, we have done more than enough of their easy projects over the years!)

 

[bababear_50]

Note to Airmiles --I want to be a loyal customer,,,, but the offers since Jan have been "toggled" and I am actually think of looking at the "PC / Optimum option.
I give it one more week and then something has to change.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Hugs Mel

Close to the Zoo is relative. There is not any that I would consider close. what else are you doing? Car? How long are you in town? What are you looking for in a hotel?
