TIA

I haven't seen them yet on mine, DH or DS accounts

Had a few AM offers clear through the system and now I have updated my signature!
Although it's likely that we are going to Hawaii (non-Aulani) before we go to WDW again... I'll hit y'all up for suggestions on travelling to the Islands in a few years.

As a donor to Habitat for Humanity I’m not sure how I feel about this. Not good. I don’t like charitable foundations to waste my donation. Perhaps it is a Loyalty One initiative. Hopefully.

Yup i agree -- don't send me stupid address labels, teddy bears, pads of paper etc, use my money for what i donated it towards! Not sure about this specific promo as it is -- did you see all the info you're granting them access to?!?!

OH and BTW you made the 15,000th post and that deserves a prize of some kind I think!!!!

You know i keep all the fine print of every offer -- I've blocked out the totals you'd get because they were slightly different for each level -- Gold had one & ONYX had another --

Most charitable organizations spend the donations on a lot of things that most people would not be in favour of....salaries being the top of the pile.

Just back from Rexall. Happy to report the spend $50 on cosmetics stacked with the spend $40 in store. Received 140AM for a $50 spend.

Salaries are an unfortunate necessity (unless they can get volunteers to run things). I take exception to all the stupid mailings (several times per year when we donate 1X per year) and the "gifts" (which I don't need or want) that take up space in my drawer.

I printed that Sobeys spend 100 get 100 airmiles so hopefully there will be no issues with it this coming
Friday 19th.

And just saying a "Blue Friday Ontario" would be nice if anyone at airmiles is listening and also we haven't had any "Onyx Events and Attractions offers lately!!!.

Yeah it's great to say that volunteers will do things but most of the time that falls by the wayside and paid employees have to take over.
For the life of me I can't figure out how GoodWill near me went out of business? Everytime I went there the store was busy and they got lots of donations,,,I think this definitely had to be mismanagement. Right now the three donation boxes close to my home are constantly filled.
I do donate frequently to my local food bank and am planning on a fundraiser for Christmas,,it is a lot of organizing and work though.
My mom used to say we all have to care ,,,,,,,, "there go I but for the grace of God ".

I know exactly what you mean. I get mail labels and stationary from an organization I've never even donated to.

I get address labels twice a year from some Jewish organization... uhmm not sure how I got on that mailing list. Tried to find some way to opt out, Google was no help, they included tons of ways for me to donate but nothing on how to ask them to stop. Eventually found a website with a place to contact them and after I explained they are wasting their money sending their labels to a Christian I now get regular mailings on converting

Well that post went away ... left only the image!

Charities will share your info when you make a donation. This is the default. You need to tick the box to indicate you do not want them to share this info. We donated to the Red Cross earlier this year and neglected to do this on that one donation. Now we are receiving all sorts of mailings and "gifts" from every possible charity out there.

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.

Thanks for the RExall coupon - I have a 40pts for $25 load and go, so that's 100pts for $40. DD has had a miserable cold for a week and chewed through a lot of medicine, time to restock

Just checked the AM site for WDW tickets....I said I would make a decision on oct 15th....right now the adult 5 day tickets are gone. Does anyone have experience with the child tickets? If I grab a couple of them would I be unable to add them to MDE for adults without first paying the upgrade cost?
