I looked at the list and I didn't notice any missing, pretty sure it's all of them. I still won't be trying hard, it came with a stupid high threshold spend for very tiny rewards and it's only for entries into the contest. Unless there's different information when the promo launches my Mastercard will stay in my wallet unless I'm at Costco or zehrs, I have better return on the AMEX

Ahhh if it's only entries into the contest then I probably won't be doing it either.
I was hoping for airmiles from the sponsors.

there will be offers, says you need to use 3 to get one entry and 5 will give you 3 entries but I'm not expecting them to be very big. If they are then I'll eat my words and perhaps try to use one or two 😜
 


Off topic but I keep getting redirected with Telus popup spam. I've cleaned my phone it's driving me crazy. Only when using this site
in the Disboards? Yeah me too but mine are either Roger's or stupid casino wheels. It's been a reported problem since the most recent update to the boards and has zero to do with your phone. Just a pia, I hit my back button repeatedly till I get back to the page I want 😜

i think there’s a small miles reward for using the card period. i don’t remember the amounts, maybe 50 miles if you spend 350$ and 100 if you spend 700$?
 


These smaller promotions are having the opposite effect on me. Instead of spending, I have been cutting way back. Usually I earn 25,000+ in a year. So far this year, I have only earned 8,369. I would think stores would rather want me spending but they are not offering enough.

I feel the same way. I enjoy doing the bigger promotions and then going into a routine earning phase. Keeping track of the smaller promotions is a lot of work for not a lot of payback. I find I will do one if I was planning on spending (at that store or in that manner) in the next few weeks anyway but I'm not going out of my way to just do them.

The Christmas in July one for instance. I could have easily found things to purchase and got the 300 AM but these days I'm all about maximizing miles for $'s spent. I don't have a trip planned for next year so I'm not in a rush to earn lots of extra miles. As soon as AM releases the new Disney ticket prices I may be back at it as I will have to earn enough for 7 or 8 tickets for 2022 but for now I'm not in a rush.
 
The airmiles were taken for my MNSSHP tickets so I assume I'll be getting them soon! I have a few airmiles left and think I'll get Calypso tickets for the summer, we are off all of August and it might be a fun excursion, like a warm up to Disney and it's water parks.
How many airmiles did you pay for the tickets? We just put in a request with the Onyx personal shopper for 2 adults 1 child for Oct 6. Wondering what I can expect.

Yes! So annoying. Thanks I usually close out and start again, but will hit that back button!

This is what Heather (Hdrolfe) posted back a few pages.....................
"I just got my quote, 2500 for the tickets. So I am jumping on that! I wonder if they get mailed or what... either way, I'm very happy so thank you so much for mentioning this because even though I know, and have read, that people get quotes for things, I never would have thought to do this for MNSSHP! and we will have such a fun time at the party on the last night of our trip now :) :) :)"

I believe this was for one adult and one child..........................

2500 airmiles for one adult and one child for Aug 30 party. Not sure how that breaks down into the adult vs child tickets though.
 
I got a virtual (targeted email) scratch card from Metro

I just deleted the emails from Metro. Now I will have to go back into my trash to check out and see if there was something to them. I thought at first that they were just recipes.

I didn't get anything :(

I will be able to completed the Round Up promo since my only credit card is the BMO W/E Air Miles one (1 mile for $10 charged). $700 charged in 4-5 weeks is easy peasy for me since I get my groceries at Sobeys and Lawtons, Gas at Irving and Shell, etc.

But I am holding out on back to school shopping for another big promo! ugh
 
Quick question for those that have bought a $50.00 Gift card at Shell.
Did you get 20 bonus airmiles only or a few extra miles for every $20.00 spent?
Thanks
Mel

I have never received bonus on gift cards I bought from my Shell even though I'm sure to purchase the right ones. I just figured my shell doesn't participate. Sadly.
