We get my BIL Lotto tickets for his birthday, typically $100, because that's all he wants as odd as it sounds. I was thinking of getting some of the lotto gift cards at Shell with my BMO MC which would net me an extra 40 AM's since the Lotto gc's are one of the offers there. That would make the take 90 AM's plus the 10 I would earn anyways which is okay in my books.
OK, time for some Airmiles math
Yeah that Bonus Boom again looks like a bust! But at this point I’m also more focused on saving money overall rather than going out of my way getting Miles. Most of mine are coming from my BMO Sobeys CC & the AM surveys these days
Sometimes when I see Sobeys sale prices in flyer now I shake my head that i used to shop there every week! $100 goes way further at freshCo or walmart!
In my case I don’t/won’t pay more for airmiles or to me it’s throwing money away. I think we all have a threshold. My budget is tight this year and I’m always squeezing it to make the best use of my dollars when it comes to points. We just bought a house and travel would be out of the question for a long while if I didn’t have these programs, but every dollar has to count.I love the hunt, but price matching or a different program will often get me more. Just as nothing beats the big airmiles promos. For me personally all the airmiles discussion is welcomed, even if it’s pointing out that it’s not a good deal .
Fingers crossed for an app one as well to stack!

Just the barcode 
Thanks for sharing! I have been busy and not really trying to collect AM lately. This deal makes it worthwhile for a visit to Rexall. I usually print one coupon and keep one on my phone for scanning to avoid being questioned.Ok, fixed the above post so it now has the correct images to go with the wording .. dang i need either more sleep or find something with the same kick as coffee that won't upset the tummy
Rexall's ONE DAY ONLY bonus offer Wednesday May 15th
To play this game for maximum miles for your buck follow these tips:
- BOTH bar codes MUST be scanned, neither can be loaded to your card
- Politely ask the cashier to simply scan all coupons you have, let the system work it out.
- Coupons can be either printed or shown on a mobile device
- Since the offers are almost identical, be really careful that you get 2 different codes scanned
- If a coupon has trouble scanning from your phone try turning up the brightness and zooming in so the bar code is larger You can even try getting them to type in the bar code number, that will also work.

(6975 miles/95)*10 = $734.21 for the personal shopper to get you your microwave
Now since we never buy anything strictly for miles EVERYTHING we redeem for is free, if I needed/wanted the microwave and couldn't afford to buy it, I wouldn't hesitate using the miles.
I do tend to use the miles for things that fall closer to the want column though, things i really wouldn't spend money on normally -- or a big, better version of what i might buy. If it was me and I had the money I would probably be studying websites/flyers/app to price compare and find the microwave somewhere i could earn miles, that's what i did for the new stove I needed.
that's why I love the Sobeys gift card promos so much. I can use them at FreshCo for what I would already have been purchasing rather than buy 10 bags of chips at Sobeys for a bad price just to get miles!
