Airmiles Armchair Chatter

I kind of figured they would maybe restructure but didn't think they would be closing so many stores.
I think the drive thru ones will probably stay.

Tim Hortons is in the same situation, planning to close over 300 stores.

Off topic (again!):

I saw this at Home Depot the other day and immediately regretted not grabbing it for $50:



It's a patio umbrella holder and you can flip the top over and it becomes a little table too!

$68 on Wayfair.

I plan on making a tray on wheels (picture a rolling planter) so I can move it around on my deck.

I'm going to drop this link in several threads to make sure that anyone who's affected by this is fully aware. I'm not sure if some of you have stopped reading other threads so I'm sharing here as well
We've only been given 48 hours to comply with mandatory mask wearing in any establishment in Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Ontario health unit - very large area suddenly all of my family and friends have popped up begging for masks

I actually wish they were mandatory everywhere. Here the vast majority are wearing them but every time I'm out there is the one or two random people not wearing one and for some reason those are the people that get WAY too close to me. They must be the people that, back in the old days, were standing in the line so close they were touching my back.

I got an email about that. Funny, because we had just been talking about who makes more money Tims or Starbs. I live in the Tims capital of Canada. There are numerous places where there are 2 Tims on the same corner. There are only 6 or 7 Starbs but dozens of Tims.

Please let me know if my numbers are correct?

So I am going to buy

26 boxes of cereal
26 x $3.99= $103.74
= __500_____ airmiles **Nope I am wrong it would be 5x95 airmiles = 475 airmiles

4 x $25.00 spend on General Mills product (100 airmiles for every $25 spent)
=__400_____ airmiles

So 900 Airmiles right? **Nope I'm wrong it would be 875 airmiles right?

Thanks and hugs
Mel
Online education/report cards has fried my brain

So if this works for the double dipping or triple dipping if you double this order to $200 you would add the 125AM right?
Then you would be looking at collecting almost the $200 back but in AM.
Please let me know if this works, if so then The food bank will be getting much needed supplies.
Thanks

Thanks Mel, big food bank donation coming up.

I scanned both at the till and only one took, 2 transactions so I tried it twice. Only 100 bonus points per transaction.

I got my 200 Missing bonus miles from February 12!!! I just messaged them on Facebook, too pictures of the coupons and my receipts and they are now in my account!

I'm going tomorrow. I will run the numbers later and maybe I can double up on it.

 

[Donald - my hero]

looks like we have our offer of 2020!
we've witnessed pickle palooza, relish rally, ice cream frenzies and an offer in 2016 that left @mort1331 with a garage full of Gatorade (or powerade, forget which one)

right now we have a bunch of Cereal Killers !!!

I tried the General Mills deal today in Sobeys - spend $25 get 100 air miles and I spent $25.55 but didn't get my points. I checked my bill after I got home and one of my cereals came up as just cereal not Cheerios so I think that may have been what happened but I will go back later and have them give me the points. I know I should check my bill before I leave the store but I was just trying to finish my shopping and get out of the way for the next shopper so didn't stop. I also didn't get any of my loaded offers so I think that there was a delay on the reading of my card so I just called my offers and they gave me my points but said I had to go back to store to get the offer from the ad. Oh well next week when I go back for my shopping I will stop at customer service.

 

[Days In the Sun]

I received mine, 10 Cheerios, 5 granola bars $52+ and a few grocery items, 393 airmiles.

Just got back from Safeway. I picked up 26 boxes of cereal (thanks Mel), 2 for camping and 24 for the food bank. I also picked up 5 Liberte Greek Yogurt 750g, some lemons and tzatziki dip.

Spent $152.10 and earned 977 air miles!

Oh boy. Finally got DH to log into AirMiles Shops so he can browse Amazon that way...

So I just went to my saved email from the May Bonus Boom for BMO as I wanted to check the T&C. Well, when I clicked on them, it took me to the T&C for June 18-July1, 2020 Bonus Boom (?)





I wonder if that is one of the NEW bonus boom offers coming?

Does anyone remember if the 50 miles from May would be deposited by June 30? For some reason that date is sticking in my mind...

That would be great if they (BM0) are offering it.
I know the site says to check back Tuesday June 16 for updates.(preview offers).

@ilovetotravel1977 I'm not certain about the date for posting May Bonus Boom. I took a picture of the terms and conditions but it ran longer than the one page and forgot to snap the bottom. Bonus Boom for me posted within 9 days back in February but I'm still waiting for May to post.

I just went into my email from May as well and got the same result as you noted above. I'll have to stop all spending and wait until later next week to take advantage of the offer.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Yup! I have to order from Nike, but going to wait for the Bonus Boom offers.

Is it just me or did Wayfair used to be on AM Shops? When I ordered my umbrella base, I checked there first and I didn't see it listed.

Wayfair, like amazon did, has disappeared from all the click thru shopping sites (it's not on Rakuten anymore either). Since amazon came back to airmiles, hopefully wayfair will as well.

I got an email from BMO that basically was.....click to pre-register your card for Bonus Boom. And it is 125AM for spending $200. This was good to know, since I was ready to go and get the 100AM for $200 at Foodland this weekend. I'll, hopefully, be able to wait 6 days to fill the car.

Mine is spend $150 get 75 AM... weird that they are different?

T&C say it will post by July 31st. But it also says Bonus Boom miles may not post until 120 days from the end of the promo.
