Shop the Block 2020 MILES ARE POSTING NOW

[flower_petals]

I've studied the terms again and here's my thoughts, see if you agree? Copying the "fine print" again --my brain is VERY foggy these days, i need to see it

Offer valid November 23, 2020 to December 28, 2020 by accessing samsung.com, using the "Log In" button at the top right corner of the page and following the online instructions to enter your Collector Number. If you do not have a Samsung account, you may create it at samsung.com. If you have forgotten your Samsung account ID or password, you may retrieve them at samsung.com by clicking on the "Log In" button. Limit of one offer and one Collector Number per Samsung Account to a maximum of 5 Samsung Accounts per Collector Number

I read the highlighted section to say that I can create 5 separate accounts and have them linked to one airmiles card. This makes sense to me because if both myself and hubby had a reason to have a Samsung account we would want our own but would link them to the same AM number. SO I'm going to create a brand new account using one of my FOUR new email addresses I've set up in the last couple of months (long story involving Airmiles not liking my new domain so i needed to create 2 yahoo accounts as well URGH) for my brand spanking new Samsung phone. Then I will have fulfilled BOTH coupons, correct? (i know only one partner but I'll get the 50 miles for creating a new account AND 50 for scanning my AM card thru Samsung pay?

That makes sense to me, now will it make sense to Airmiles lmao. Good luck - I hope it report quick, so you can update on how it went.

Honestly I'm mad at myself for forgetting to use Samsung pay to show my card. I've missed out on so many miles. 100/mth. ugh...

Thanks for the idea but this won't work for me. The reason why this won't work for me is that years ago when my Dad used to travel he would buy duty free booze even though he didn't drink (too good of a deal to pass up for him) so when he passed away about 20 years ago we inherited all his booze and I have enough vodka to supply a whole bunch of parties. I was hoping for a nice bottle of wine like last promotion. Oh well I may only get 5 offers. So far I have Sobeys and Shell for sure and I did an online shop at Walmart but since my airmiles shoppes never seem to post correctly I may do another one as I need printer ink again and I can get that at Staples. I have been doing a lot of photo printing lately and that sucks the printer dry. My sister will do Metro for me and I will hit Foodland. For my Mom's card we may only get 3 - Metro, Shell and either Sobey's or Foodland. I was going to do Rona or Lowes but I don't need that much stuff. My rant is why why why do they have some many offers for cars. How many cars does Airmiles think we buy?
One of my backup offers used to be Car and Truck world but this time you have to spend $175 and again I don't need that much stuff for my vehicles.

Side note, cant help with STB, but.
Wife used to work at LCBO, you can take unopened bottles back, as long as it has the bar code and purchased in Ontario, and exchange it for a bottle you like. We have been doing this since my dad worked 40 years ago, and he would get lots of hard liquor from his suppliers. He would take them all in and buy the wine they liked to drink. You can still do it now. Splurge and buy those expensive wines you always wanted to try, and have a cheers to your dad as thanks.
Now not sure if duty free counts, but hey take couple in and try it out.

Well I messed up today. I meant to use DD’s card for the Rona coupon but I used my own. That now puts my side of the column at 6. I was planning to do 5 on both accounts.
I can still do a 7th on mine but then DD’s will be 3.

 

[ottawamom]

Don't kick yourself over it. The difference in total is only 100AM. (1200+300, 800+800). I played with permutations and combinations when deciding how may offers to do on 3 cards. Started out with 5,5,3 and will end up with 5,5,5.
I just have two shops (Foodland and Sobeys) and two gas fill-ups left. Doable.

 

[AngelDisney]

I think you had to buy two six packs for the STB offer

Oh yes, I missed that. Need to re-do the offer!

But I got the 10AM posted. Very confusing!

So I couldn't wait for the Cyber Monday deal to shop online as a pair of boots I have been wanting at the Bay were on sale and the sale ended today so I got 10x the airmiles instead of 15x. I also got 3x the miles at the Bay so hopefully this will count as my online shop since I really do have bad luck with my airmiles shoppes miles posting. I will be chasing this one down though if I don't get it because I think it is a sizable amount of miles that I should be earning. It was funny though - every time I put something in my cart and went to check it, I got a message - ooops that item is out of stock and will be removed from your cart. I put in another item and same message until I quickly moved items to my cart and checked out. I had wanted to hit a certain value so I would max out my points so I even added an extra item just in case but since the extra item was scottie dog shaped shortbread cookies I can't go wrong.

 

[AngelDisney]

Oh, I just placed an order at the Bay for STB. I will save the Amazon purchase for tomorrow with the 15X offer then. I got a $100 HBC gift card from Sobeys with 120 AM and HBC’s 10% off beauty items, so I am still happy with my HBC purchase today.

Soo off-topic here but DANG my new phone (that I hope I've linked correctly, i was too tired to head out shopping yesterday - today i guess for me - so I'll be trying it tomorrow - Monday) has some wicked crazy camera actions!!! Comes with a ton of "masks" and I was able to download some Disney/Pixar ones as well

Had me create an avatar and then made it "walk" around on the table!

Just now i discovered I can turn those "masks" into little guys to walk around as well

Yes, I learned that when I was 17 and the first time I went into the LCBO to get booze while a bunch of friends waited in the car. I came back all excited with my purchase only to have them say omg that's amber rum we can't drink that, go return it for white rum. And so I did, expecting to be carded for sure when I came back the 2nd time, but nope! Ahh memories. LOL

LOL.....I could get served at 17 too. My mom had an exec job at that time and I would grab one of her work coats and go to the LCBO. She had this bougie full length leather coat which was my safest option. Did it many times. We also had a Chinese food restaurant that we could all go to and get served. Blows my mind now that a group of 6-7 teens could walk into a restaurant and all get served...we also did that many times.


ETA: funny story about getting asked for ID. About 12 years ago my friend and I were shopping on the American side of the falls and decided to hit the casino before crossing back. We are chatting as we pass the security guard and just wander in. Then we hear....EXCUSE ME LADIES I need to see your ID's....we both turn around and at the same time say Do you mean us???? We laughed so hard that my friend was choking.

I decided to throw caution to the wind and ordered off Airmileshops today. I have the worst luck with getting it to work correctly. I didn't take screenshots of what I did (hence the caution). I ordered and spent over $100. We'll see if it works and I get the AM. If it doesn't, that's OK because I was going to make the purchase online anyway instead of going to the store. Today it was buy 3 get 2 free so it was a good deal.

The store has 3XAM and Airmileshops has 15XAM the store issues AM at 1/$20 spent. This is not a regular AM partner just a store on Airmileshops. If I spent $120 I would earn 6AM but because the store has 3X that becomes 18AM, do I then get to add another 12X (12x6)to that to get to 15X or is Airmileshops ontop of the 3X (15x6)

This could be a moot point as I'm not really expecting it to work anyway. If it does I'll have to find one more offer because I'll be 1 short of 7 and that'a just too close to not go for it.

Finished all my Christmas shopping this morning via AMS. I divided up my Amazon stuff so that I could have one of them count for StB on DD’s account. I also ordered from Staples for in store pick up. Those miles, including the bonus, is already posted to my account. I haven’t even picked it up yet.

 

[Teresa1963]

What shops on airmileshops gives points for gift cards?

 

[ottawamom]

Indigo does.

 

[juniorbugman]

I shopped on 2 cards today at Staples. I needed printer ink and photo paper so I figured out what to put on each card and got each card to just over $100 so it makes my STB online shop done. I did have to buy some Tim Hortons brownie bars that looked interesting to make up the difference.

 

[AngelDisney]

Just did my second AMS at Amazon. We needed to get pet supplies for the puppy. One order of $431, however, was broken down into 5 smaller orders! I thought if I bought items sold and shipped by Amazon, I would be safe. But even those items got separated. Thanks goodness I have one order over $100 or else I would have to shop again for STB. What a challenge now to collect AM!

The Amazon order that I did for DD's account was 2 items...$99.97 and $24.99. When I checked out it offered me the option to ship in one package which I took (it will arrive one day later) in the hope that it gets charged all in one as well. It occurred to me later that I could have done any of my other items as a single order for her account....all items were over $100. At the time I was thinking in terms of which account gets the AM.
