Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[marcyleecorgan]

Egads, just checked Reebee for the upcoming Safeway flyer and UGH. Maybe there's something for y'all but not me.

DH just got put on a low fiber diet by his doctor... which is 180 degrees from where we normally eat. No whole wheat anything? No fruit and no veggies beyond soup/stew fare.... AUGH we eat VERY healthy, this is not easy!!!!

In some re-enactment of a Twilight Zone episode, I now have to go out to the store and spend money on white bread... *resists urge to spit on floor*

And omg the offers starting this Thursday are crummy everywhere.

Will probably go buy more of the bagels on promo at Sobeys that ends today then... 40AM for $15 if I buy 6 packs. And my husband loves bagels!

Question for those who have two AM accounts. Does anyone use the same email address for both? CAN you use the same email address for both? I just checked the email account I set up in association with the AM card I recently set up. There was an offer for 100 bonus AM if I filled up at Shell 3 times in May. If I had seen this the first of the month it would have been easy peasy however I didn't through my own laziness.
The perfect answer would be to use the same email account for both but not sure if that would work.

I do! We use my email for both accounts since I am the controller of all-things air miles

Thank you, I just went in and updated my email. Now I'll just wait for the offers to roll in.

I did the same thing with the Sobeys My Offers.

I’m not sure what province you are in. I am averaging a good $20 - $30 a week just doing my regular shopping. BUT.. I’m shopping around to work the program a bit. I will go to Zehr’s for one or two things if they are big points and I stock up. I get a personal offer or a text offer or a flyer offer for 20x the points almost every week for Shoppers. So I go to Shoppers and spend $50 ( I get my bread, milk, eggs there ) and get $15 in points back.
This weekend at NoFrills is going to be Spend $125 get $15 in points back. There’s also an in store offer for $8 points if you spend $30 on Frozen PC burgers or Coke products. I’ll get a few boxes of burgers for the summer with my regular groceries and end up with $22 in points before I even use the personal offers.
On the one regular PC thread I follow on another forum, some people were saying they aren’t getting offers at all and nobody knows why. I’ve been lucky that they are still coming .. I hope it doesn’t dry up.

I'm in Ontario, GTA actually. I see the No Frills offer but I also like to price match and they only price match at a limited number of competitors. I end up doing more of my shopping at Walmart lately, groceries and household items in one trip. Walmart will price match with anyone, so convenient.

Stopped at Sobeys for some groceries, got some tortillas, and for some reason I got 40 bonus AM for them instead of 20 (shows the bonus twice), so that's great! At least it's a few miles any way.

Did this too and came to post! For any last minute runners, on my receipt it looks like the bagels (12 grain, everything) went through double counted, bread did not.

[ottawamom]

Donald, thanks for the heads up about Urban Fresh. I glanced at the flyer yesterday and didn't notice the deals you pointed out. Will have to head downtown on Saturday and pick a few things up.

 

[dancin Disney style]

We've talked lots about the travel vouchers. Has anyone actually used them yet? How did that go?

Also, when you ordered how long did it take for them to arrive? I mean the dream mile vouchers.

I'm still on the fence about a late summer vacation with DD. Right now I'm leaning towards Punta Cana and I found a good deal on a resort that a friend is at right now. He thinks it's absolutely incredible so of course it's got me excited to go. The thing is the price just jumped up $400 and prior to that it was already a tad on the 'pushing it too far' side. I'm thinking if I get $500 in dream mile vouchers it brings it back to a more palatable amount. I'm aware that you can't use them for Sunwing which is fine because I would never travel with them anyway.

 

[bababear_50]

Airmiles travel dream mile vouchers:
I haven't used them yet. I gave them to my son who is going to use them next year.

When I ordered them they came within 3 days by courier.
Right now you have to go into a travel agency to use them,,I know that Airmiles said they are going to have something online in the future but no luck yet.

Edited to add: and after a lengthy chat online this morning they still can't answer when they will be ready for people to do online bookings.

Hugs Mel

 

[kerreyn]

Same - I haven't used vouchers yet, but from the time of order to shipping notice and receiving them, I'd say it took a week, and I'm in AB.
