Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[bababear_50]

The flyer a big ol' nothing burger for air miles.

Nothing for me either
last weeks flyer deals were better for me. I might just go today and pick up a few things.(Paper towels)
Shame that they couldn't make the last shop a nice one.
I'm still not sure about the whole Scene+ program.

Scene+
Just a thought
We all have had many issues getting Airmiles posted over the years.
How is Scene+ plus going to be any different ,,, I mean it's not Empire Foods posting the points it just another go between company again.
The one thing I do like about PC Points is that they always post right away,, and it's the Loblaws PC company not an outside company posting the points.
So often I heard it's out of our control by Airmiles.
Just random thoughts....

I have had issues with PC Points not posting correctly at times from Shoppers Drug Mart, but you can always tell on the receipt whether they've posted or not. If they don't post, I keep the receipt because I know if it's a substantial amount (more than 1000 points) they are going to want to see it. It's been over a year since I've had any issues though.

Contacted Airmiles via CHAt
I asked for 10 Airmiles from 2 coke purchases at Shell be posted to my account.
Flat out NO "we had a meeting this morning and there will be NO more missing miles added to accounts." "Go to Help section click on there and be prepared to submit receipt."
Wow,,, not good news.
Like I am going to take my time to now collect and submit Shell receipts for a 5$ purchase which gains me $1???
Off to ESSO or Petro Canada I go.

What they don't seem to understand is that they aren't the only card in the game at this point. The harder it is to collect, and reconcile issues, the less people will use them. Might be time for me to check out the Airmiles rewards and cash out my points for Christmas gifts.

Yeah it is good to know that people have had issues with PC Points,,, BUT at least they have been resolved in a timely manner compared to Airmiles wait 120/60 days for everything.
Thanks for sharing

Yep and it's frustrating ,,,I want to say so many things to them ,,,like

How many times can you offer a Blue Bonus for Chips/Granola Bars/Oatmeal/ Cereal?

In todays tech world why would anyone be willing to wait 2 to 4 months for points to post to their rewards account?

In todays world why would someone choose Grocery shops with paper receipts instead of digital?

In today Economy are people able to afford to buy multiples?

Their focus seems to be online shops,,,,, but even those companies are parting ways with them.

I have been watching the new flyers for the past month from Atlantic Canada and I see no different /great deals for people collecting Scene+ points.

Quick update on my Air Miles issued green Canadian non expiring 5 day exchange voucher (that is quite the title for this pass)
I just spent about 30 mins on the phone but was able to get mine put into my MDE and it now shows an expiration date of 2099 hahaha.

The most important part was not the bar code or the long number underneath it but a W number That was beside it in smaller writing because that is the classification of the ticket within their system. It was from that they were able to find the voucher and then verify that it was mine based on the number under the barcode. Just FYI for any of you that need to transfer these vouchers still

This is super helpful! I’m glad you got yours sorted and I appreciate your update.

Now let’s all hope we get back to Disney before 2099…

I recently cashed mine out and I’m glad I did.

I had been saving for a while towards a cruise and a high dream miles balance was starting to make me nervous. For me, it was worth it to change plans and get merchandise I’m excited for.

Now I’m playing the shell game with cash air miles, just like I do with PC Points. I don’t let them build up much, and watching my secure savings account build feels just as exciting but much less scary than dream miles did.

Just got this offer from BMO. Not going to happen! (unless I go and purchase 4 Wagyu steaks) 6 days really.

I’d be willing to bet that’s not true….sounds like the kind of BS answer that someone throws out when they don’t want to deal with it

 

[bababear_50]

Check your *My Offers*
Crazy offer
No way we need 300.00 worth of groceries.
Now if I could buy Lottery, gift cards it would be ok.

 

[bababear_50]

I think I can do this one

Earn 40AIR MILES ® Bonus Miles when you spend$40 or more*
Metro

 

[Etch]

I got that one too except mine is 480 AM if you spend $300. I haven't had one like that before.

Even with my family of four I don't hit $300 very often unless the cupboard is completely bare!

 

[hdrolfe]

My Metro offer is spend $120 get 120 AM, which I could do, but not sure I want to do.

The flyer a big ol' nothing burger for air miles.

Yup...it's a big bust for me. Surprising...nope! I'll purchase some oatmeal for a local charity and their pantry...and I'm needing bleach. That's probably the last of my AM shopping at Safeway.

I have had issues with PC Points not posting correctly at times from Shoppers Drug Mart, but you can always tell on the receipt whether they've posted or not. If they don't post, I keep the receipt because I know if it's a substantial amount (more than 1000 points) they are going to want to see it. It's been over a year since I've had any issues though.

That is why I do love the PC program. I have always received my points that were not posted correctly - usually within hours.

I agree. Their focus is shifting towards online shopping. I am not a huge online shopper, so I will loose out on miles.

Just got this offer from BMO. Not going to happen! (unless I go and purchase 4 Wagyu steaks) 6 days really.

That's just ridiculous

Hopefully we can get a fair jag of miles in the next little bit from Shell. They are the only other place we regularly go to. And that is fuel for Dh's truck. My car for around the city is good with Costco fuel.

Today, I needed to order some printer ink from Staples, at just over $100 before tax.

I could shop through airmilesshops and get 5 AM (1AM/20) + 8 for using my MC (1AM/12) for 13 AM (basically $1.36 worth of points) OR I could shop through Staples with the Rakutan 2% initiated and get $2.00 back. That Rakutan check that comes every quarter is automatically put in my vacation fund. Today, I chose Rakutan.

I always check both sites (and sometimes aeroplan when I remember). I seem to have switched my Rakuten to scene+ though and I'm not sure I will like that. I like getting a deposit into my paypal quarterly that covers some payment or other.

Scene+/Atlantic Canadian here.

FYI- Scene+ points post much sooner than Air Miles. If I do a shop at Sobeys on Saturday, my points are posted within a few days to my account.
