Try that, not sure if I did it right., Must be Onyx to get deal. Sign into AM first on another tab.

Ack! It's telling me I've ordered too many tickets (I've ordered the max 2 per collector)...I need wine festival tickets for free! lol

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I just received an email confirmation for the tickets, so it must have gone through the first time. Strange. Pumped I have tickets for the Saturday night! It's always a great time

Thanks again for the Rexall coupon, went on my way home yesterday and walked out with 134 AM for $58, with most of it being on sale and essentials for DH's trip coming up. Hoping to do well at Sobeys tonight too!

Just back from the roadtrip. DH drove, he's on holiday this week. Got 4 GC and some groceries managed to rack up 1060AM. All in all it was a good day AM hunting!

Great job ottawamom! We are going to go to Foodland on our way to the movies tonight. Both are in a different town but luckily Foodland is only about 10 minutes from where we had planned to see the movie anyway. Tomorrow I will go to Sobey's with the food land cards to get those deals. I'm hoping to be right around 1000 too. Rexall is Spend 50 get 100 this week too, but unless I get stocking stuffers I just can't justify another $50 Rexall shop this week. My bathroom closet and cupboards are well stocked.

Is going to be a great air miles week! Foodland is offering a gc special. 200 am for $150 gift card. And the great thing is that gc can be used at Sobeys and Fresh Co. as well. Plus I like their orange juice deal (buy 4 @3.49 and get 75 miles). These offers plus others in Sobeys and metro mean I'm going to be well over 1000 am this week. Weeeeeeee!

Thanks WWP. I made my first trip out of my neighbourhood to pick up this deal. I got some of the $1.99 BBQ sauce (3AM each), Tostitos (just a great price) and chicken breast (really great price) as well. 1,019 Airmiles is worth the twenty minute trip I think.

Oh, and to think that not very long ago it would have taken me $380 of spending (at the 1 Airmile / $20 rate) to earn those measly 19 Airmiles, let alone the crazy spend for the 1,000.

On my way home from Foodland I stopped at my local Sobeys. I kept an eye out for a crazy Airmiles lady so I could meet ottawamom. I never thought to look for you at Foodland!

It's been a while since I've found value in the meal deals. Today I got two of the sausage meal deals and combined it into one purchase (to save $1 on the garlic bread). The bonus Airmiles posted for both no problem. I was a bit surprised. I even paid for it with a brand spanking new Foodland gift card. It did not take long to activate. Another pleasant surprise.

Question before I got get my giftcards...do you have to buy 5 separate gift cards and load them each with $150? Or buy one big gift card?

Went to Sobeys this morning for bacon and hot dogs, got 175 AM. Funny thing was the 100 for the bacon didn't show up so I got in line at customer service and the guy in front of me was also getting his AM added on. He had a black card He said sometimes their systems aren't up to date Friday morning when the deals start up. I'm away this weekend or I'd have gotten the meal deal as well, I will go back Wednesday to get two of those since it's pretty cheap! And all stuff we'll eat. I don't even know where a Foodland is near me And don't have the money this week to get the gift card any way. But I think I did ok. And had a nice bacon tomato sandwich for lunch.

I guess I should start wearing a Minnie Mouse bow in my hair while I shop.

Which Foodland did you go to? I went to the one in Greely. I was there around 9:30am. They hadn't processed many GC yet when I was there. We went cross country from there to Sobey's in Barrhaven (10:15am). I like the Foodland GC, pretty apples, nice for fall.

I had quite the chat with a lady outside the Rexall on Merivale yesterday about Airimiles collecting. We were able to double dip on coupons they had offered (cashier suggested it as it was still working, little loophole in their programming)

Question before I got get my giftcards...do you have to buy 5 separate gift cards and load them each with $150? Or buy one big gift card?

I think if you get one big gift card you may only get the bonus once. I also find it a little safer to have the $ on separate cards (they are like cash, once lost they're gone) I take one or two cards with me when I shop.

I picked up 4 separate gift cards and put them through as individual transactions (cashier suggested doing it that way). In the past at Sobey's I have picked up separate cards but lumped them together in one transaction (each card having $150 loaded onto it). Ask the cashier which way they want to do it. I also paid for them with my Airmiles credit card so I get more AM for that.

Today I got two of the sausage meal deals and combined it into one purchase (to save $1 on the garlic bread). The bonus Airmiles posted for both no problem. I was a bit surprised.

I often pick up two of the 50AM meals in the same transaction (3 young men plus additional guests in this house). It has usually posted correctly. I didn't even think about the $1 saving on the bread.

STUPID STUPID STUPID,
That was me today, dont go shopping with 3 little girls.
I was going down to an area where there was a foodland, none near my house, and had the 3 girls with me. Grabbed 3 GC and asked the cashier to put $150 on each. After ringing in all with the food, I turn and off the cuff ask if I can now pay for it all with the GC's,,heheh. Was distracted with the girls, cash is on the phone, so I just hand her my mastercard. She gets off the phone after its payed out and says YES. I could have used the GC, I am like what?????
But I wasnt going to reverse the transaction now. But you know where I will be buying my other 2 cards later this week? You betcha..

Greely as well. But around 11 a.m. The cashier said she only had one other for gift cards at that time.

What's this about the Rexall loophole? I don't know what coupon offer (from them) that you're talking about... I like loopholes.

How is the Rexall on Merivale? I only shop at the Barrhaven one (even though they are often out of stock).

I was able to use the spend 50 get 110 as well as spend 40 get 60 (only spent $53). And somehow there was another 10 Bonus which I couldn't track. I'm not sure how it happened but they said it was working and that Head Office would wise up soon likely and close the loophole. The cashiers at this store are all really pro Airmiles. They know how to take care of their Airmiles crazy customers.
