Ok I am posting this because it is a lovely bag with so many pockets and zippers. One zip one for Pasport and a deep zip water proof on on the inside. It has a part that slides over your carry on luggage.
Just love it!
it is 25% off on Amazon right now.

I am a sucker for luggage and tote bags! I'm not much for a purse, although right now I am wearing a Sash bag for that, but luggage.....sign me up! Thanks!

Question about AM receipts. Did my first one for the bonus 100 AM and of course it said they'd have to inspect it more. How long does it take for them to inspect further and award AM's? Do they let you know somehow the result, other than watching for the AM's to be put into your account?
Did one for my wife, again for bonus 100, but it said "we've seen this receipt before", so I filed a missing AM report. Hopefully that gets resolved quickly as well. So far not impressed with this receipts thing.

OHHHH MEL-thank you! I have been looking at ones similar to this on Instagram but they are close to $100 once you add shipping. This is amazing, thanks for sharing this!

Thanks so much! We had a surprising experience one year when I had purchased Canadian Resident Tickets and showed up for early entry without ID. . Suffice to say we missed most of early entry and ended up waiting in a long line for Slinky Dog Dash! I think that was the year I learned to expect the unexpected and roll with it!

Just For Jacqueline to start her day...

Oh and a special one for Judy who was visiting with Santa last night...

Yeah that's the only pain about the tickets. Either get to a park extra early and hope there isn't a big line, or go the next day. Last trip we were at the BWV our first night, so we could easily walk over to Guest Relations at Epcot and provide the info.

This time we are at OKW and could take the boat to Disney springs, but I know the grand kids will want to swim in the pool upon arrival vs having to trek there.

For long receipts I have checked the next day and usually airmiles were awarded (I checked on the app under airmiles receipt activity and if you click on the receipt it will tell you what was awarded). This is my first 100 AM bonus though (I scanned today) and mine is still "In progress", it says "Missing info. We need a little more time, The receipt is taking longer than usual to review. Check back periodically for updates. No need to scan your receipt again."

I had no issues with two accounts. The 3rd account DS's I purchased 3 different things at three different stores and I got a variety of messages, (seen the receipt before, impossible, missing info, can't find acceptable items...) I filed missing miles reports in the receipts app and it took 4-5 days for the miles to post.

Not sure I'm going to be doing any more of these offers. It's too much work for 3 or 5 AM.

This post could go here, or in the Max Pass thread, as I used my pass at Amazon. But hubby needs a new carry-on (broken during last flight after gate-checking). I don't "need" one. BUT. We decided he would splurge on a fun new black Disney version and we would make it partly as his Christmas gift. (The basic luggage we planned to buy was $30 cheaper than this one). since we have the Max Pass, I felt this was a good place to splurge. Unfortunately, we then also talked ourselves into getting me the cute matching red one (it'll be my only Christmas gift!)

You mark the items on the receipt and only scan it once.

You circle them with a pen/marker?

I just put a fat dot beside the items with a sharpie

I didn't know we had to do that. Maybe I'll try again with this weeks shop and see if things work more smoothly.

Be well and safe gang.
See you in a week.
No Big Airmiles deals while I'm gone,,,, LOL

Oh it's on the to do list for sure. And Beaches and Cream for the kitchen sink - can't wait to see their faces!
They are crazy for dinosaurs, so I thought TRex for dinner would be great!

 

[Donald - my hero]

currently sitting in the dark, literally dark, the power went out about 30 minutes ago. It happened while we were on the phone with WestJet trying to check in for our flight home. OMG that took over an hour. Damn thing had assigned us seats in the middle of the plane, rows 8 and 12, there were still seats available but we couldn't select them, then they disappeared geeze big mess.


All cleared up now and the trip is almost over

Did any staff come around to check on you or bring you flashlights?
Glad you got it all sorted out. Hope you have a good flight home and yes sad it is over already.
