Airmiles Armchair Chatter

My Airmiles are not posting correctly...
Sobeys posted all wrong and certainly not anywhere near enough airmiles.
I am also getting the postings at the top and the bottom of the 31 day list.
I will wait until tomorrow and then contact them.

For what it's worth, my Blue Friday posted correctly on one account, the other is missing 3 base miles (listed on the receipt).
 
My miles are not posting correctly either. They are out of order, some bonus posted but not the base and I've got mystery miles that are in my total but not listed anyplace.

Guess what I did when cleaning my desk area

I threw out the DANG receipts!!
I just did Chat with Christine
all is well by using my credit card statement for verification.
1800 Airmiles added...PHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She did a one time add on of the missing 150 airmiles from Shell deals I've been trying to get for over three months--finally honoured,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
only thing is she put the miles under Dream and not Cash but atleast I have them..

Lesson here do NOT throw out your receipts until airmiles post.

OT..... this couldn't be more OT if I tried but you are all smart and fast to reply. I've bought a new bed (it only arrived 3 nights ago and so I'm not enjoying it....apparently it takes 3 weeks to adjust) and I need to get all new linens. What I want are the really crisp type of sheets that good hotels have. So what would that be and can I get in anywhere? I bought what I thought were a nice set of cotton sateen 600 thread count sheets but they came out of the wash looking and feeling like my old cleaning rags. I can't even iron the wrinkles out. I also want a really nice duvet and again no idea what that would be. The Hilton and Aloft hotels have exactly what I want. They are voluminous but still have that crisp feel to them.

Any info is greatly appreciated...thanks all!

Hi Hon
I am in the same boat,,,looking for 100% cotton ones,,surfed Linen Chest,Hudson Bay,Bed Bath Beyond and so far I think I may try Wayfair. I know Canadian Tire even carries bed linen now.
I haven't bought them yet so I can't swear to their softness and durability.
Hopefully someone who has bought linen lately can help.
Hugs
Mel
This is what I am thinking

I'm ALWAYS looking for decent sheets that hit all those notes as well! I refuse to iron sheets (heck i don't iron much of anything!) but the current set that are super soft look like something the dog dragged in. Oddly, the best as far as being both soft and yet crisp came from giant tiger and cost me a whole $35.00 for a king-sized set. I now look every single time i go into the store for another set. The package said "Hotel Sheets" , they are 600 thread count but they are actually 90 cotton / 10 polyester -- that helps keep them from looking like a wrinkly dog!

I find the ones that say "sateen", regardless of the thread count are terribly wrinkly. The Bay has a big one day sale on today BTW
 
Last night when I checked my account, I had a whopping amount post, but it didn't show who they came from on my transactions. I knew I was waiting for 449 from Sobeys so I knew the new amount was from those. I checked my account this morning and the total was still the same, but it shows the Sobeys miles listed this time. I hate when this happens as I'm not sure my eyes are playing tricks on me or if Air Miles is trying to jip me miles!

The ones I just bought are 100% cotton sateen and while they are very soft they are look dreadful. I have a set that I got last year that are microfibre and they are wrinkle free but they are slippery(as in things have fallen off the bed come morning) and make you sweat.

Going to check that Hilton link.

:rotfl2: wrinkly dog.....that sums it up really well. I saw the sale at HBC which is what got me thinking (HBC = AM) about asking here.
 
Another heads up. I shopped at Rexall yesterday, earned 1 airmile plus 50 airmiles when you spend $25 personal offer and survey coupon. Today I only received 1 airmile instead of the 51 airmiles while all 51 are on the receipt. I'll post if the rest come through.

Check the bottom and the top of Your last 31 days listing. Mine are routinely split up these days.

Ever since the update on Canada Day weekend postings to my account have not been "normal". Recent posts show up in the total but not in the body of the transactions. The transaction showed up 3 hours after my total changed. Posts get split between the top and the bottom of the "last 31 days" listing. I contacted Airmiles last week about this and was told they are working on correcting the issue (still working on it I guess). I would be interested to hear what they tell you the issue is and when they plan on solving it.
 
As for sheets. Try IKEA. I got some sheets from there that are crisp and soft at the same time. Also the prices won't break the bank and they are super deep for those thick mattresses.

What a great idea,,IKEA,, I know my daughter inlaw and son buy their sheets from IKEA
I've also been looking for Bath Sheets,,and it looks like they have some great prices on those,,Thanks Hon

P.S. Airmiles Chat said Tech is looking into the way airmiles is posting....hopefully they have it fixed soon.

I had the same issue with my 600 thread count sheets, everyone told me I would love them...I hated them...yes, they were soft but I hated how they looked when they came out of the dryer and yes, even ironing didn't do anything...I ended up just going back to my regular sheets - for me it was a waste of money...
 
Sorta O/T...does anyone here belong to the Canadian AM FB group...if so, did you see the post today of a lady who was so excited because she redeemed her AM for a 7 day WDW flex ticket and a 5 day WDW flex ticket and is applying them both towards her AP so her AP will be free. When people asked if Disney allowed this, she replied yes because they applied their 5 day ticket last year towards the AP and since Disney applies the "value" of the ticket towards the AP, she said she had enough now to get her AP. I really wish Disney did allow this, but sadly they don't...According to a thread by Robo (who I believe works in ticketing) on the Theme Park thread ...you can only apply the "value" of ONE ticket towards another. I wish people wouldn't give others incorrect information.

Oh yes, "that" Facebook group .... I tried, really tried, for a couple of months, to be a part of that group but it was driving me to drink! NO, that is not possible -- the information is out there to be found and if all else fails they could call or email Disney to get an answer instead of just feeding the rumour mill!
 
Heads up for anyone who lives out this way. The Oshawa Foodland on Grandview is closing. My Uncle stopped there today and said everything was 75% off but the shelves were practically empty.

It is hard to belong but I do get heads up about some local deals, however I do find that our little AM family is the BEST!!!!! I posted that she was incorrect and quoted Robo's post about only being allowed to apply one media ticket...the lady posted that she is embarrassed and has now used 6000 AM that she cannot apply towards her AP...you are correct, the information is out there to be found.
