Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[bababear_50]

So Airmiles Chat
They (Airmiles) say no deal
you have to buy flowers/roses with one of the boxes to get the deal,,,
I call Airmiles is in the wrong here,,,



That's not what the saved offer says.
But it took over 1 hr and no one answered the phone so I wasted another 1/2 hr doing chat.
Too much time wasted on this.

I agree that the offer isn't showing correctly in the app but it's very obvious in the flyer that you need to buy both the super expensive flowers that will die within days and too much chocolate to eat to make up for the sadness that dead roses bring

Hi All - just checked and it runs from February 1st to February 29th. I will probably only get 3 down as it is per partner not per offer like the miles ones are. Before I could have gotten gas and products at Shell and it would have counted as 2 offers but this one says per partner. Can do Metro, Shell and Dollarama. My nephews girlfriend also got it so can do Shell, Metro and AirMiles Shoppes for that one as she doesn't have any cardlinks and I just read the small print and AirMiles receipts isn't a partner. I made not make the 3 partners for her card so I will leave that one until the end and make sure my Mom's card gets done.
I did not get the offer on my card.

Might be a targeted offer as my Mom's card has it but I don't see it on my account. Had to opt in.

Just saw this on the Air Miles app.
Looks like a new promo is starting. Ends Feb 29th.

Regarding post above.

The Ferrero offer on the website agrees with the offer in the flyer now. Boo . They seriously need to do a better job checking offers before posting them.

This must be targeted. I don’t see it on my account anywhere.

Rather disappointed in tickets from AM's. I was under the impression that nowadays AM's purchased and sold tickets to DW at face value, but turns out each ticket I got was worth ~$100 less in value than what's on Disney's website. That's quite the markup for AM's. 5-day PH's is what I got.

I think it's because they're including the current exchange rate in the prices?

I just priced out a 5 day hopper CDN resident ticket on the Disney site starting on Feb 27th (just the date my finger clicked on first!) and it shows as $644.41, which currently shows as $868.60 CDN

Went to the Airmiles site and the same ticket is showing as $889.17 if paying cash or 8411 dream miles (using the Airmiles math of 95 miles =$10 it should be 8,447 miles so slightly better deal here)

Not sure if this helps or just adds to your frustration.

I did 2 6-day PH, one for Feb 24 the other for Feb 25. Value on Disney's website was supposed to be $850 & $857 roughly, so total worth $1707.75 US. When I called for value to use toward AP renewal, they were only going to give me $1500 and change as they were "discounted tickets". Sorry, my other post said 5-day, they were 6-day.

The days of AM getting tickets at a discount are long over. I’m not sure why you got that info from WDW but you might want to call back and try again. They are notorious for giving incorrect info.

Got my 40x fill today - for 40L, 80 AMs. Hoping to squeeze another 30L in tmrw!

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

For the 40x offer, don't forget to buy V-power as it is 1 mile for every 10L vs 1 mile for every 20L for regular. So for your 40L, it would be 4 x 40 = 160 miles.

I would except there was a huge spread between the prices (20 cents/litre). Before I've seen the spread at like 7 cents/litre. Last time there was a 40x the spread was 24 cents between bronze and V-power. It really eats into the amount I come out ahead, and there's a point at which it's not worth it for me...

E.g. 20L at 1.39. Spend is $27.80. AM take home is 40 AMs which is roughly $4. Net cost to me of $23.80.

Then 20L at 1.59. Spend is $31.80. AM take home is 80 AMs which is roughly $8. Net cost to me of $23.80, but an extra $4 of my cash is trapped in AMs rather than in my bank account.

Let me know if I'm missing something!!

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

@ElCray No, I get it. I was just thinking if anyone is in the need for quick miles, for an extra bit of money you could double / triple / quadruple it.

That's the value of the tickets you get thru AM's, not WDW's fault. Now I have to try and price bridge at a park. Can't do it over the phone. Luckily they're extending my expiry date so I can try and do that.

Happy Sunday
Hugs Mel

My solution to messed up Metro Airmiles chocolate is to go to Dollarama and pick up a few GC for
Valentine's Day.
At least I'll get 10 Airmiles,,, lol
Don't forget to open those suitcases.

 

[Debbie]

GRRR. I forgot to opt in to the Shell 20/40X the points before I filled up my car today.

 

[bababear_50]

I thought I needed enough gas to get a few airmiles today...
18.540 liters ,,, just couldn't squeeze any more into my tank.
$total cost 27.61
no Airmiles for me.
Dangish!

Better days ahead Debbie.

 

[ElCray]

I just squeezed a 30L fill in... Had to share that the price differential between Bronze and V-Power was 34 cents a litre!! Holy moly!!!

 

[40ariel]

Just saw the 40x after we filled up. I hadn't opted in! I find it's so hard to keep up!
