The website is active now, click on this link and select your region to see the offers open to you. ****you can use coupons across the country if you can find someone to use your card!
Mega Miles March 21st - April 25th Earn up to 1000 AM
**** Pay close attention to the fact that for this promo you must make your purchases at 5 DIFFERENT sponsors to qualify for the maximum bonus miles. You can still use as many coupons as you are able to (and some will even be good for multiple uses, I'll point those out once i can read the actual terms) BUT it is the number of SPONSORS NOT COUPONS that will count towards completing the promo****
Some tips to help when it comes time to track down wayward miles (because let's be honest there will be several of us who run into Road blocks!)
- Grab several copies of the booklet to allow you to staple the correct coupon to the receipts
- Keep every receipt connected to the promo
- Take screen shots of any & all FAQs and fine print attached to both the promo AND each coupon.
- Keep copies of any e-mails from Airmiles & partner stores about the promo.
- If possible try to complete at least 6 offers at 6 different sponsors so that if one doesn't credit properly you will still get the maximum number of miles.
- If at all possible, wait a day or so before tackling to promo to let the kinks get ironed out, these rarely start smoothly
- Read the coupons very carefully before you head out shopping, they do NOT all start on the same day
Timeline for miles to post to account
Company line of when the miles should appear in your accounts are as follows.
- the final bonus states 120 days after promo is done - August 23, 2019
