Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Just a FYI
Movie codes arrived in my Inbox about an hour ago.

PS My Yoga Blanket is lost somewhere in transit.

Thanks! I think I will get them, kiddo really wants to see the last Spider Man movie (though he was not interested when it was in theatres) and I'm sure we can find a few more to watch. I assume the codes won't expire, or if they do it won't be for awhile!

Hi Hon yes there is an expiry date:
"Here are your Cineplex Store Codes ready for you to use at CineplexStore.com by December 31, 2020."

I told her I have heard some of the biggest excuses for Airmiles not posting and was fed up.
She said are you calling us liars?,,,,I said no but Airmiles is.
I said listen if the flyer doesn't go live till 8 am or if the manager has to manually start the airmiles at their store or whatever that is fine but STOP telling people that they will get their airmiles in 2 weeks when that is false information.
Well low and behold we re rang them in at 8:01 am. and all the miles turned up on the receipt.
What a morning.

You are an Airmiles warrior Mel!
Good for you for knowing the information and making sure they did it correctly.
 
OK bunch of things I want to say. @bababear_50 that is a load of crap about the AM. My cash account is locked 98% of the time and AM purchased always appear on my receipt (unless there's an issue). My balances show as "0" with the Cash account locked but my AM earned always show up.

The bit about the offers not going live until 8am is a load of ***** too. I've shopped at Foodland at 6:15am and received Blue Friday offers. I've then gone to Sobeys for their 7am opening and received AM on offers as well. Sometimes the person responsible is a little slow to download the offers from head office but it is their job to update those offers before the store opens for business. Now if usual store hours are 8am and they are opening at 7am as a special thing for Covid well that's another matter.

@marchingstar don't feel bad about not going. Half the AM offers on my list weren't out on the shelf yet. I'll have to go back again early next week. I picked up just 4 of my 8 items. I should have just waited until tomorrow to shop.

After rereading my post I think I need to go to my new happy place (quilting) and not focus on shopping for AM for a bit (adult time out).
 


One last little rant.

I will be amazed if the Bonus Boom (just finished) shows up properly in accounts. Sobeys (AM cash offer and gatorade) didn't show up on receipt and didn't post this week to my account. Shell posted only 1 of the 15AM owed for filling up (yes I did opt in properly).

Don't get me started on the arguement I may have with Airmiles in a year or so when I'm not ready to use my vouchers to rebook my flights with Air Canada.

Airmiles may just be shooting themselves in the foot. Not as much fun as it used to be.

I wonder how strict they will be on that expiry date. Little known fact, if you have old movie passes that have expired you can still use them at the Cineplex theatre. I buy dozens of passes at Christmas as handouts to the children on Christmas Eve and often have lots left over. I found a bunch of expired ones and was going to toss them out until my granddaughter, who works at Cineplex, explained that they will be good forever. You just need a manager to override the purchase. I have been using up the oldest ones first since I found this out and some of them expired in 2001. This is what makes me wonder about the strictness of the expiry date. I wouldn't toss any left over out until I checked with them.
Just an FYI for what it's worth.

quilting sounds like a fun hobby! is it new to the pandemic? want to share some pictures?
 


Not a new thing just something I got back to after taking a bit of a break. I'll take a few pictures and post them (now that I know how to do that from my phone).

For me it's all about the hand work. I do things old school. Hand piecing and hand quilting. It takes a lot longer but that's what fills the hours these days. I do also quilt on the machine but that's usually for things like Christmas gifts (table centers and placemats)
 
Good news - we received the air miles refund (4475) for the MNSSHP yesterday! Fairly quick and painless. Still waiting to re-book our hotels, I emailed our TA on Monday, but haven't heard back from her. We prefer POR, but as of today, it's not available. We're debating between Caribbean Beach Resort or Coronado Springs, but with the option to switch back to POR if it becomes available for our dates (Sept 14-25/2021).

CBR would have the skyliner, CSR has the new tower and I think the rooms were refurbed more recently? Oh, CBR has the coke freestyle machines too... :) CBR has carpet in the rooms, CSR has wood floors. I'm not sure how they really compare to POR except that they are bigger resorts.

Glad you got the tickets refunded so quickly! That is a lot of airmiles, I'm sure you will be able to put them to good use on something else.

I think like the look of CBR more than CSR, and like you said, it's a skyliner resort! I think it went through a refurb in the past year or so.

I'm going to check out some reviews on the two this weekend, and hopefully make a decision...
 
Just stumbled on something interesting on the Airmiles website, you can now see all the offers at all of the sponsors in one place! No more scanning flyers for deals (but you all know that I wait until midnight Tuesday to glance thru them and will continue :P ) I'm not sure if it will actually show everything but it looks like a good start!
Go to THIS PAGE
Toggle to your province and then choose a sponsor, click on the "See all offers for this partner" button and POOF an entire page with all the current offers!

OR if you want to see all of the offers for your region just go to THIS PAGE
 
Those pages kind of take a lot of the work out of the Hunt. I enjoy the chase. I will continue to read the flyers but may review those pages as well just to make sure I didn't miss anything.
 
Did I tell you guys that Katie & Erin my nieces appreciate all of you that are wearing masks ..staying home and socially distancing?
They are both nurses here in Ontario,,yeah their lives are very important to me.
Ok enough said,,time for a cup of tea and some Netflix.
Nite all!
Hugs to you all
Mel
 
since I consider this my happy, safe place and that we're a family of sorts I thought I'd share a before and after picture with you! I posted my charming Facebook profile pictures here and my Canada day picture in that thread and since those all generate comments about how nice my hair is I wanted to show the reality of 17 weeks of growth of very curly hair!
here I was on Canada day after I took the crap out that keeps my hair looking civilized
