Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[cari12]

Played the carousel today and got 2 more multipliers for the lighting place - I have 4 of those now
Spent over $100 at Old Navy for the Airmilesshops 100AM promo.

 

[Donald - my hero]

Sorry you don't like the fitbit @Donald - my hero I love my Fitbit Sense. I believe they just came out with a new version but I'm not keen to update. I didn't like my old one because I couldn't see the face if it was bright outside, which made it hard to use when out for walks in the daytime lol. This one is much better.

I played the carosel thing again today, got 4 plays (wonder if that's for today and tomorrow?) I won 30 AM total and two coupons. One of which is $50 off a redtag vacation package. So yeah, other than winning airmiles, not much good for me right now.

I did get the spend $100 get 100AM opt in at Metro, and have an app spend $120 get 120 AM so will be going there Tuesday (payday) and doing groceries. Hopefully they will both work.

I spent over 6 hours driving yesterday, took my dad to an eye appointment and then Jackson went to Saunders Farm Fright Fest with some friends. Nine kids, all driven by their parents. It's like 30 minutes each way from home. No coordination, but he's got a bunch of new friends this year and I haven't connected with the parents yet. Oh well, they had fun getting chased by zombies lol. And I didn't have to participate. But today, I just want to not have to drive anywhere!

Yeah, I seem to recall when you got your new fitbit because I responded about the screen brightness since the Versa 3 and Sense are basically the same thing other than a few extra health/exercise options and trust me when i say DO NOT UPGRADE! I read reviews (should have done that first) and the new sense has the same negative comments. Google now owns Fitbit and they came out with the Google Pixel smart watch that has the features I'm missing but i REFUSE to pay the extra money. Currently trying to decide where to buy a replacement from to maximize my miles. I think I'll order it from Indigo to get the Bonus 100 miles on both accounts using the gift card trick

 

[juniorbugman]

I tried the buy a $100 gift card from Chapters on one card to earn the air miles then use the other card to make my Chapters purchase but I just checked my air miles account and I only got 4 miles so I didn't get the 100 bonus miles. Wonder what happened as I bought a $100 gift card. Maybe I should have bought $125? Anybody have any ideas?

Same, I always get short changed on all of my Indigo transactions, not just the gift card but whatever I'm actually buying with it. In your case I would have bought $120 card to trigger the offer, for me, I'll buy just enough to cover the fitbit and taxes with the knowledge that I won't get exactly what I should (usually out by just 1)

Live and learn. I will decide if I will do a Walmart shop on her card or fight for my points later.
Thanks

I think with the Chapters gifcards, you need to buy a bit more, it seems like they assume you've paid taxes (which of course isn't the case). I rarely have luck with it working.

For this spend $100 I'm not sure I'll be able to do it, I do need to get kiddo a winter coat and boots but probably not from the same place and I'm hoping neither is $100 on their own.

I got a reply back from the *Personal Shopper*
No they can NOT get undated tickets.
Oh well ,,,, I ended up crashing in some Airmiles & getting a dated ticket ,,just hoping nothing interrupts my going on the day I choose as they are non refundable (unusable).

Try as I might I can't find anything to spend $100 at Metro or Airmiles.ca right now.
I am hoping to scoop a few last Airmiles next week before Sobeys/Foodland leave.
Then I am down to Metro & Shell but I don't think I will be able to get many Airmiles just using those 2 sponsors.

Off to enjoy a tea on the patio.

Walmart purchase? via Airmilesshop
Does anyone know if
cat litter and cat food would be excluded from Airmiles?

So I think I screwed up my order and used my secondary card instead of my card for my air miles shop. Well I will earn points either way but now I have to find something to buy on my card. I may order a couple of gift cards from Chapters and the items that I didn't buy this time saving them for another order. Not a good day. First I almost placed my order without going through the AirMiles Shops and now I placed it on the wrong card. I guess I will find out when the points post but when I logged onto that account on my app I had another Carousel of Dreams game to play and I think it was from the shop. For some reason on my PC my Anti Virus program blocks me from going from the AirMIles Shoppes to the correct web page so I have to use the app and I just figured out that I can log out of one account and log into the other. I know - duh but I think I was logged onto the wrong account.

I was thinking there wasn't anything I needed online through AM shops for the 100AM but after reading these posts I think I will pick up a Chapter/Indigo GC and put it aside for Christmas shopping (x3). Last time I was in the store to get a book I remembered thinking that I could do all my Christmas shopping in this one store. Quite a varied selection of gifts. Might just do that. I'll start with one card and wait for it to post.

$120 per card right? (should work)

 

[bababear_50]

Well I got another Metro on the Carousel.
100 Bonus Miles when I spend 40$
Good Oct 20 to Dec 1st
(3 Metro & 1 Red Tag for me so far).

Hugs Mel

I I forgot about my little kitten ,,,
so off to Metro I went
Spent $103.84 before Taxes (Kitty Litter & Food),Epsom Salts for me which has gone skyrocketing in price.
I got the 60 Airmiles when I spend $60.00 (My Metro App)
No 100 Airmiles when I spend $100.00 -OPT In Email
No 100 Airmiles when I spend $40.00 Carousel Of Dreams Contest

I guess I'll have to remember this and hunt down those 200 Airmiles at some point.
Now watch me get another Metro suitcase tomorrow,,,,

Off to refit all my solar lights with rechargeable batteries for the up coming season.
Hate changing batteries when my fingers are frozen.
Trying not to take a baggie of batteries to the dump once a month.

Happy Sunday All!
Hugs
Mel

I think the Carousel of Dreams says it won't show up on the bill and will show up later.

 

[ottawamom]

Those other 100's from Metro will most likely show up after the fact. The opt-in email one within the next 2 or 3 weeks. (It never shows up on the receipt as it comes from AM not Metro) The T&C on the Carousel one might be a few weeks after the end of the promotion.

Great to know
Thanks guys!
So a $103.00 shop and 260 Airmiles is good.

So I was not a dunder head. I was wrong as the miles just showed up on my primary account and with that I got 2 plays for the Carousel of Dreams. One was a dud to me and the other was download the Shell App, link your air miles card and get 100 AM. I did that and now have to wait a couple of weeks for the AMs to show up. Now I will find something to trigger the offer on my Mom's card.

Agree with others, both of those offers say "Bonus Miles will not appear on your cash register receipt. Miles will be posted to your collector account 4 to 6 weeks from the date of purchase." Nice shop!!!

 

[bababear_50]

Between Shell & Metro I seem have generated 4 extra suitcases today.

1. Another spend $40 at Metro get 100 Airmiles ,,well I'm not sure of the rules here,,,can I go and do this again?

2. 100 Bonus Airmiles for connecting my Airmiles card with Shell APP. ( I Linked the cards.)

3 HEEL Boy 20x Points

4. 25 Airmiles

That's it for me.
Hugs Mel

I assume your last Metro one is listed as used???? If so, I would certainly think it would work again. I'm hoping so! It does however say one Bonus Offer per collector but I'm thinking that means it was a single use coupon.

You did better than I did today, I earned three today and received the Metro app link offer (worth nothing since already linked), Lighting (also useless) and 10 airmiles.

Edit: I'm a little confused, I felt I had to use the bonus offers I earned by the end of today. What if you don't see them right away since it's hard to tell when things are going to post? Perhaps I am incorrect.

 

[bababear_50]

My Metro ones don't show as used as the APP said it takes a few days for Metro to do that.
I"ll call to check out the double spend 40 get 100 Airmiles tomorrow.
I thought you had the length of the Promo to use the suitcase earning (winning) ?
