This was my shop the block coupon, but I ended up doing 7 offers already so I it really doesn't have to count as shop the block. When I did the purchase it had a subtotal of around $102, but one of the items had a coupon that was deducted after the subtotal making the purchase only 99.XX, I wonder if that screwed things up. I ended up only getting 3 base miles, so missing 2 (or 1) base miles, plus the multipliers. I am not saving for anything thing urgent right now, as I just purchased my last Disney ticket last week.

I personally wouldn't be able to challenge the subtotal with a clear conscience because, well, the subtotal of the order was in fact under $100. I looked thru my Amazon orders to find one that had a discount applied and this is what the invoice on their website looks like


This is what my emailed confirmation looked like - slightly more confusing because they combined the free shipping & coupon into one discount.

While this doesn't clearly show the pre-tax total in the same way the Amazon invoice does, I'd not feel comfortable fighting for the miles. When I'm placing one of the orders during a promo I pay close attention to what retailer shows as the bottom line pre-tax amount because i have a very annoying justice based streak to my personality. If i had to produce a copy of the Amazon invoice there's no way i can fudge what it says.

Shell go day reminder tomorrow, if you opted in by Dec 8. Honestly I never remember for sure if I did but I do need gas.

Rexall, no idea if this is the weekend promo or too limited to be worthwhile, in the emailed December newsletter this afternoon:



Edit: STB coupon is good until the 15th.

Good news on the travel booking front! We can now book cruises on the redtag.ca website with air miles!

https://vacations.airmiles.ca/cruises.php
Edit to add: I just priced out the cruise I have been watching and it's $1000 cheaper through redtag versus RCCL's website in CDN dollars. Does that seem right? I've asked on the Air Miles FB page to confirm if they use US or CDN pricing.

Edit again: CDN dollars. Buddy said they just get good pricing.

Shoot. I think I deleted the e-mail without looking at it. Any chance you would be able to forward the newsletter if I give you my e-mail address?

Interesting. I just looked as well, RCCL has become our favorite line. I'm confused as to why we needed to put in closest airport and what the codes are for in the cabin catagories. Dollars off NRD, 30% savings NRD, Dollars off and 30% savings. How does one know what to choose?

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I know NRD means non refundable deposit, and the 30% off is there current sale, when I finished the mock booking the dollars off was -$25 off guests 1 and 2.

they certainly cut that right down to the wire didn't they? There's only 3 weeks left of 2019 (and as my kid pointed out, of the DECADE! where did the time go???)!!
I glanced at the site a few times over the last few months and decided that while it's nice to be able to book packages with miles I didn't like the fact that there seems to be no choice in the type of airfare you're booking. Based on our recent frustrations with our package i don't think I'll ever book one again.

Do you need to book a flight with the cruises? If not, why are they asking for an airport??

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Not why about the airport code. I will ask on the fb page. But no, you don’t book flights with the cruise. You could use your miles for that too!

The cruise I was looking at was $4300 on RCCL’s website, but only $3200 on redtag’s site. Same cabin etc

Honestly, I like booking direct with the cruise line.

Bought $750 worth of giftcards at Sobeys and promptly bought $750 worth of Disney giftcards with them for our March trip

this went smoothly for you? I'm pondering doing this today at urban Fresh but nervous to even attempt it ...

Certainly, however it's not very exciting. Might want to check your deleted messages first and if not there I'll send it to you.
