Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Disney Addicted]

I usually purchase grocery items. Eggs, milk, cheese, bread and whatever else is a good price. Rarely do I purchase other items.

I doubt I will be going tomorrow though.

 

[Donald - my hero]

So what are you all buying at Rexall tomorrow?

I looked at the flyer and the prices seem so high. I guess if you think about it as 200 AMs being the same as $20 off then it would be like spending $30 but I save my miles and dont use them for cash off so it still seems like over spending just to get the miles.

I dont know if I will head over there or not, good luck to all of you who are going

I keep a running list of items that rarely go on sale anyway and pick them up on these bonus days. Things like probiotics that cost an arm & a leg anyway, hubby's antiperspirant (NEVER goes on sale and costs around $25), mouth guard for the stressed out Duck, we take a lot of vitamins and they're on sale PLUS bonus miles, benadryl (I can't take sleeping pills and at times these help that as well as the frequent hives!) is on sale and I have a loaded offer for 20 miles, watch batteries .

I won't know until i get there if I can push it to 2 transactions but it's possible!

First time trying this so just want to make sure I’m doing this correct. I loaded the offer to my app before I saw your wonderful instructions will that cause a problem with it when I scan or am I still ok as long as I have the 2 separate bar codes scanned? Thank you so much for your wonderful tips & help.

So happy to help you out! Please be aware that you have NOT actually loaded that offer to your card just by clicking it, you will still need to have BOTH barcodes scanned!! Follow the steps in my post and you should have no trouble getting 200 miles for each $50 transaction. Just take your time and ask the cashier to scan both codes for you and let the system work it out. I'll be printing out my coupons because i KNOW the store I'm going to gets confused

 

[Charolette]

Great!!! so much!

Figured I would take the time to search out the info on last year's TWO "school" related promos while waiting for the flyer links to go live (they're very dismal on first glance BTW)

One promo was called PACK to School and it included some coupons/offers to use at different stores, each offer gave you one entry into a contest for $5,000 credit with WestJet. That ran from August 9th - September 9th

The other promo was call BACK to School and required online shopping of at least $20 per transaction. 2 = 100 miles, 3 = 300 miles and 5 = 1000 miles. That was a royal PIA .. we had a 26 page thread active during the promo and FOUR of them were completely full of our chatter over getting the danged miles posted properly. It was a massive EPIC FAIL on their part. This one ran from August 7th - September 9th

Will they have something similar to either of these promos this August? Don't think any of us can answer that at this point in time BUT if they do and it looks like it would help things move smoother, I'll start a separate thread!

Yup, Sobeys is a bust - https://www.sobeys.com/en/flyer/

Looks like it will be ANOTHER PC Optimum weekend for me.

When the biggest item on my AM shopping list is Kleenex, you know it's a bad AM week at the grocery stores. I even looked at IGA in Quebec. Oh well, we have Rexall today to save the week. Next week will be Sobeys GC, next week will be Sobeys GC or a good Blue Friday

Help! I need to get 900 points and posted by 12th August - is this even possible?!!!

You can get 200 for shopping at Rexall today (spend $50) which you can do more than once I believe @Donald - my hero can confirm that. They usually post early the next day.

Otherwise Metro/Sobeys take a week or so to post, and Shell is a few days. Those are the big ones I shop at. Rexall would be your best bet I think.

1st Rexall shop--(Used printed copies of the coupons)
2x$50.00 shops (mostly M&M frozen foods like chicken breasts,Oriental Party Pack,strawberry too tall cake for family event,, ect) =404 Airmiles

2nd Rexall shop stock up on Purex laundry soap and a few other things $50.00 spend =202 Airmiles--(Used printed copies of both coupons).
Good shop day for me ,spent in total $150.00 =606 Airmiles.= $60 cash airmiles--probably for Starbucks Gift Cards.

100% REXALL is the way to go ... you could spend $100 and walk out with at least 400 miles that will post by tomorrow morning. Not sure where you live in the country or if you even have a Rexall that's handy but this is really the easiest way to guarantee getting those miles by August 12th. My other stores can take WEEKS to post, it depends on when they submit their batches to AM and then they only post once a week.

As @bababear_50 pointed out above you can pick up M&M frozen foods at some locations and I believe the prices are the same as they are in the stores so that's a massive win-win if you can find products you would eat. You can see that she also used the coupons multiple times with no problem.
ETA THANKS to Mel I've noticed an error in my math !! $100 will actually net you 400 miles! Sorry about that gang!

Sobeys to drop plastic Bags by 2020
https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/top...-stores-by-january-2020/ar-AAF7vCy?li=AAggNb9
My thoughts
My sister inlaw is making me some shopping bags that can be washed, which I love because the store bought recyclable ones get so gross after a few uses,,,and then what is the sense if I'm always throwing them out (creating more garbage),,and buying new ones.


Hugs

Wish I had a Rexall closer to me to take advantage of the Am they offer - I am envious to those who all get to regularly shop Rexall I'll just have to keep playing the optimum game with Shopper Drug Mart.

 

[Donald - my hero]

UPDATE TO MY POST !!!

I made an error in my math, $100 spent at Rexall today will net you 400 miles, not 200.

Sorry has the mix up, usually read my posts twice before I hit post, at least this error is in out favour and I'm not telling you you'll earn fewer than I originally said

 

[alohamom]

Does any one have a link for the Foodland opt in for 25 bonus miles?

 

[Aliciahere]

Well, newbie reporting back. Last weekend I earned around 380 miles, today at Rexall, I scored 433. If the Xmas in July posts properly I’ll also get 200 but i kinda doubt it (crossing fingers) - not bad for less than a week

Great start!
