Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Back from my cruise on the Fantasy....avoided hurricane and got way too much sun in Tortola

I missed the Sobeys gift card offer week - my favourite and I'm out of cards right now

Was just reading through the posts from last week - people talking about Sobeys Terry Fox....I will say during the mornings the customer service middle-aged lady is awesome - she is an AM collector herself and will do things like check the system before you buy. But the problem is the store is always out of stock and removed its gift card centre. Sobeys Stittsville imho is a disaster for AM - they sometimes don't even bother to load the offers. March Road is good because they have lots of teens working the late hours...I find I can easily convert the Sobeys GCs to Shell GCs there as long as I through in some gum or something.

I see Airmiles has the buy 2 get 2 free tickets for Universal. I am considering these now instead of flights... I guess we'll see once I get closer to deciding on dates

I know we are going during March break but with flights so expensive it will probably be Tuesday to Tuesday or Wednesday to Wednesday. The flights have gone up, even the Airmiles have gone up. But if I can save $6-700 USD on tickets, well that's a nice bit of money too. I'll need to start planning the following year's March break trip as soon as we are back so I can get cheaper flights! Or at least the flights I want.

It's good to see they are offering the B2G2 free! I'll have to make a note of this in my vacation planner to watch in the Fall 2019 for our trip in May 2020.

With the big new Harry Potter ride that is opening next year, they may not have to offer any incentive tickets to get people to go.

That's very true. At least there is the 3D3P tickets on air miles.

In my case I don't think they are getting info that way. I only donate to three places....Cancer Society, Alzheimer's and Sick Kids. The first I do in cash in the spring when they set up the daffodil table at the grocery store...I drop a couple hundred in the box and don't take a receipt. The second I do at work...once a year we host the coffee break, again it's in cash and I take no receipt. Sick Kids my donation is done online but under a team name....so again not my personal info.

Hi Hon
Can you tell me what "host the coffee break" is?
I have to plan something for the United Way for work and am looking for something to do.
Thanks

Hi Hon
I don't like how this coupon says
"It cannot be combined with any other airmiles storewide coupon or load N Go offer",,,I don't recall the previous ones saying this?
I could be wrong though.?

They've said that since the LnG offers launched! No biggie, just show every coupon you have and let the system work it out. For now they're still stacking, only thing it means is that if they don't appear on your receipt you can't very well ask for them to be added.

Thanks for the advice! I just checked my statement and Shell and Rona purchases were made Sept.29, but didn't post until Oct.1. Would this cause a problem? It should still meet the terms of the offer since the transactions were in September, right?

Yay!! My 500 miles posted today without even having to ask!!

Well, that is definitely puzzling (and something I'm not sure I would be comfortable with). Your personal info has definitely been shared somehow to these charities, maybe a business you deal with is affiliated with one or more charities, you never know.

It’s an Alzheimer’s Society event. Basically, it’s coffee/tea and snacks that are sold for a donation and all the money goes to the Alzheimer’s Society. The host covers the costs involved either through getting a sponsor or paying OOP for it. All the advertising materials are provided from the Society.

If you are arranging something for the next couple of weeks I could connect you with a Poinsettia fundraiser. If it’s of interest PM me.

Everything is public info now so it’s actually very easy to get. On that front, nothing would really surprise me.

I have something today in my account that says:

Air Miles Bonus 30+

I did the ONYX spend at 5 different locations, so I’m wondering if I only got credit for 3?

Hi Hon
The fundraiser will be held in Jan or Feb,,somehow I always end up putting out a fair amount from my own pocket and this time I am trying not to do that, Thanks for the explanation about the Alzheimer's Society.
I have a few other ideas I am researching.

I only got 30 and I shopped the 5, what is the best way to report missing miles.? ( I have never bothered to track miles before)
