I'm gonna be exhausted by the end of this week ... today was my Fast Pass day so I've been up since 3 (yeah, don't even try to understand that hour, sleep is elusive at the best of times!), I'll be staying up till after midnight to get a look at the online coupons and then spend most of tomorrow updating this thread and Friday? Yeah, that's my Toronto day AKA butt-crack-of-stupid o'clock alarm (4:20 in the winter to allow extra time for walking in the snow!)Happy Shop the Block Eve everyone! The anticipation builds.
Re the BMO offer. I think I will be doing just the $350 threshold this time. I can't see myself spending $700 at Partners during the timeframe. For the extra 50 AM it's not worth the outlay of cash. I wouldn't purchase GC if the reward was 50AM so purchasing "extra" GC to get up to $700 won't work for me. I'll get the partner credit for spending $350 and that is good enough.
I'll only be doing the lower threshold for BMO as well because the new earn rate for our AMEX started last week. That means 1 mile/$5 at certain types of merchants (not partner stores anymore, no Rexall booo) and everything else is 1/$10. I'll just use the Mastercard until that threshold is reached and then back into the purse it goes. At least we have 6 weeks to complete this so I can pick and choose when to use it .. not happening at Metro or Sobeys since "food" merchants fall under the higher earn rate. I'll just use it at Rexall until i reach that $
