Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Hi
Your 2x$50.00 or 4x 25.00 should have shown up on your receipt for 140 airmiles?
If they do not post (as in your airmiles account) by next week I would contact Airmiles via telephone or online chat.
Unfortunately once a Gift card is paid for it can not be cancelled and redone this is why I cancelled my order/purchase before paying.
Was this at Foodland or Sobeys?

I had 1x50 and 2x25 - at Sobeys :/
 
New today on RoundUp, 10x airmiles until Aug 27, a lot of stores on 3-5x airmiles as well (not Amazon, it just ended 5x):

Of course because I'm not paying attention, and when I gave the dog a bath last night, noticed his medicated shampoo is almost gone...which I get for a bunch cheaper from Amazon...now they don't have bonus points. Seems to be my luck this year and any promos.

On the other hand...I FINALLY reached 3000 AM collected this year :scared1: :crazy2: :eek: I can tell my focus has NOT been on AM. I've done well the last two months...but oh my dog...I just couldn't do much earlier in the year. I'll keep plugging away at it now...and I should be able to hit onyx again for this year...that's my goal now. So come on AM....give me some sweet deals!!!!! And honestly, there has not been much incentive besides one Blue Friday in July that I did...that had many AM for items we eat/use. Hopefully the next Blue Friday will get me closer to that goal.

I'll clarify and adjust my post. You can get 10x on all shops, including Amazon. Amazon does not have an additional store offer but it did yesterday (it was 5x). So you can get 10x at Amazon this weekend.

The biggest gain with Onyx for us is the access to personal shopper. Lots of time left to get there! And you're over half way!
 
I am not a very experienced online shopper.....
Does the 10x Roundup offer mean if the shop says 2x will I get a total of 12X,,,
I am looking at the Body Shop 2x offering right now.

Hi
I would even try chat with Airmiles now just so you will have peace of mind and know what to expect.
Sorry this happened to you.
Just a FYI next time try insisting that the store manually add the airmiles on the spot,,just ask for a manager at the customer service counter.
Also maybe try this:
*If you are missing Bonus Miles from a purchase where you swiped your AIR MILES® Card at checkout, please call the My Offers Contact Centre at 1-844-896-3337 and a Customer Care Agent will be happy to assist you. The My Offers Contact Centre is open Monday – Sunday from 7:00 am – 10:00 pm EST.*
Regards and hugs

Uggg, I bought $100 worth of cards and they didn’t show up. Customer service said that they will show up later after the week that they are offered. Any way for me to go back and ask them to re-do? Or do I really need to wait 120 days :scared:
I had 1x50 and 2x25 - at Sobeys :/
No on the re-do, but I would go back to the store. I have yet to have the points on GC from Sobeys or Foodland show up unless they are showing on the receipt.
.
I had this very same thing happen two weeks ago with the Sobeys/Foodland GC's. Sobeys worked just fine Foodland didn't show up. Foodland had them showing on the receipt later in the week.

I waited the usual (week) amount of time for the AM to post. I had also purchased other items that same day in the store. My other items posted but the GC AM did not. I printed out my AM transaction page for the time affected and took that with me to the store. Confirm with the store that the AM are now showing up on receipts.

I used this line of arguement with the store.

AM didn't show up on receipt when I purchased because your system hadn't been updated with the correct into. As the AM showed up on the receipt (for others) later in the week there must have been a patch applied to your system. All transactions after the patch would show the AM on the receipt. The patch does not go through and retroactively apply the AM to those transactions that happened earlier.

It would take someone manually going through each transaction and manually adding the AM to the affected collector. It is not cost effective to do that. AM will simply wait for a collector to mention that they did not receive their AM and post the AM at that time. A "friend" reported having the exact same issue and her AM were manually added by the store right then and there. As I have little confidence that these AM will ever show up I would like to have them manually added now. (In my case the supervisor offered to add them instead of me asking).

Or you can call/chat with AM. Depending on who you get you may get the results you want.
 
THE DROUGHT IS ENDING! I was speaking with the cashier supervisor when shopping at Sobeys today (Ontario) and I asked if she knew when the next Blue Friday would be. She confirmed it is set for next Friday August 30. (unless she's putting one over on me but I don't think she would)

just in time to stock up for the school year!

i feel like it’s been so long since the last blue friday and people keep guessing it’s next week...eventually, someone’s bound to be right. i’m crossing my fingers and cookin out of the freezer this week to make space...just in case.

If you spend $20 at Body Shop, you'd normally get 1 airmile.

So today you'd get:
1am + 1am (2x Body Shop) + 9am(10x airmilesshops) = 11am for every $20 spent

Love that Rexall coupon J!

So I went to Sobeys this morning...who cuts their staff to two cashiers,,both on express???
My apologies for holding people up in the line but I do not make staffing rules.
Cashier rang all 4 Gift cards in together and then had to delete the transaction,,which she wasn't sure how to do... I apologised but I am not waiting 120 days to file for the points.
So she rang them in separately and I got 70 bonus airmiles for each card.
38 shop bonus miles + 280= 318 airmiles.
Once these post next week I am switching over to cash airmiles,,(that is if I don't spend any of my dream airmiles and save them for a new computer when this one decides to die).Must have self control.lol.
Christmas shopping is all done for 90% of the family,,just my granddaughter left and I figure between now and Christmas I'll see lots that I can get her.(Being the only grandchild has its advantages).:cutie:
Can you tell I hate shopping in the winter time.lol

I was at Sobeys yesterday afternoon to get my gift cards. The express cashier asked me if I wanted her to ring my cards in separately. She said someone earlier had to ring in all 4 gift cards separately. I told her to scan one first, the 70 miles showed up on the register screen, as did the other 2 cards she continued to scan right after. So all 210 miles appeared on my receipt. I think I was at the same Sobeys as you ... 10th line right?
 
just a comment for all you sobey's/Foodland gift card shoppers... it seems there are no end of problems with their system EVERY. SINGLE. TIME I would suggest, if it's at all possible for you, wait until the 2nd day of the promo so that the kinks have been worked out by someone else! By Friday you should be able to read about the work arounds that others have figured out.

Well if it wasn't today it would for sure be the 30th :) But that's ok, we'll be building a droid at the depot and attending the MNSSHP so I guess we'll survive :) But man do I need to get back to earning airmiles or we won't be going anywhere this winter!
 
I just got a special offer from Sobeys that can be used up to 4 times.
An offer as special as you, Judy! Open to see... (aaaw aren't they nice to think I am special).
Get 75 miles everytime you spend $100 and can be used up to 4 times by Sept 21, 2019 for a total of 300 bonus miles.
I was planning on shopping the spend $100 get 100 airmiles at Sobey's today but hadn't gone there there yet so it worked out for me as I didn't receive the offer until right now and you had to activate it for it to be valid. See everything works out for a reason. So for my shop today I should be getting the spend $100 get 100, spend $100 get 50 (loaded offer) and the spend $100 get 75 (which I know will show up later and not on my receipt). Almost as good as a Blue Friday.
 
plan things
@dancin Disney style I'm hoping that one day I can convince the hubby to do a trip on the fly like you are!!!! What a great little getaway for you too!!!!! I'm taking lessons from you ;) :idea: to stalk out prices and just go last minute. Love that!!!!!!!!

I can count on one hand the number of times I've booked any trips, truly, in advance. Advance for me is about 4-5 weeks. I've even booked flights the day of travel...when that was still allowed. The most advanced I've ever gotten was for my DD's 16th birthday she was promised a trip and she chose WDW. Her b-day falls on March Break so I had no choice but to book 8 months ahead which just about killed me.

Don't know if I mentioned this before but I've got staffing issues in my business and basically there is no one to cover me so that means that if I want to take a real holiday I will have to close down for a week. This trip I just decided that it would be easy to close for Friday and Tuesday and I have minimal coverage for Thursday. Between now and Wednesday I'll be working my butt off trying to leave very little that needs attention on Thurs. After that, whatever is not done is going to have to wait until I get back.
 
Amazon question - how do you know specifically which category something is as far as qualifying for AM? The laundry soap I use is disappearing from all the stores here but I can buy off Amazon. I can find it by choosing household but also by choosing groceries my for the search. So I’m not sure 🤔
