Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Thanks for sharing @ottawamom! It’s so annoying that whenever there’s an Onyx event in Montreal, I am away on vacation!! Unfortunately, July 27th is the day we leave for our summer vacation.

Walking on the treadmill this morning and watching the news this random thought entered my mind. The Ontario license plates should have had the logo "Party ON" on them instead of whatever it is they decided on.

Not meant to start a discussion just thought it might bring a laugh to those of us in Ontario.

Has anyone received their “miss you” AM yet from Sobeys/Safeway for the March promo? Just wondering as the December ones posted right after the end of the promo date.

Sobeys (Ontario) this morning at checkout, received a coupon, 150 airmiles when you spend $150 for Apr 18-22, Easter weekend. Usual exclusions apply.

Just finished up a trip to metro that we dream about

Bought 6 boxes of granola bars and the following played out

• Cost 2/5 buy 3 get 15 AM
• Found a coupon for buy 3 get 1 free
• Used 95 cash miles and the mega miles coupon
• Loaded threshold spend offer

Total out of pocket cost, $4.45
Snagged 85 miles PLUS the flyer offer of 50 that will follow in a couple of weeks

That means they just PAID me $5.55 to buy the granola bars, right?

I found the coupon hanging by the oatmeal and it's extremely easy to miss because there are no pictures, here's what it looks like

Seeing as how our premiers' priority seems to be alcohol...Party ON would fit right in

 

[ottawamom]

That was my train of thought on the matter.

I just had an interesting Metro experience. I went to grab a pizza for dinner...using the MM pizza coupon and the redeem 95 Miles coupon. I added in a carton of eggs to get over the $10 hump. The cashier was unsure about the codes I showed her on the app so she called someone else over. He just keyed them both in, no problem. I got the 25 for the pizza but it says ‘deli’ and then I got the 50 for redeeming the miles. Both are on the receipt so I wonder if I will get an additional 50 later on which is usually how it works when the redemption offer is in the flyer. Sad to say that I’m actually a tad excited at the prospect of an extra 50 Miles which would make it 125 and only $4 OOP.

My place or yours for the 9am and public park cocktails? Should that be before or after the tailgate party?

O/T sort of
We have been gently notified that our contract is up for renewal in Aug of this year.
Heaven help us with the current Ont gov.
In preparation our organization is telling us to put a little away in the event of Strike.
So I bought a bunch of Foodland Gift cards and plan to stockpile them.
At Least I got some airmiles!
Hugs

Did anyone else do that American Express promo back in February where you had to spend so much for bonus points? It was targeted. Anyone see them post? I did it on both cards but haven't seen anything yet.

And beer. Stock up on beer. If you're striking near a park, with a truck and tail gate, it might not be so bad!

(Ugh...so not funny thinking of what's to come!)

I remember those days. It is going to be a hard round this year, since the gov't has already changed the contract by changing the # of students in class-a negotiated item.

mmm Beer

I LIKE BEER!!! (said one Supreme Court Judge in the US)

Good thing we have $1 beers cuz that’s all you can afford on strike pay.
