No "milk products" is that an east coast thing. I usually have dairy in all my shops?

Me too (edit to add: have dairy in my shops).

Excellent!!

In other news, this morning I learned that hard way that gift cards do not count towards the to "spend $xx, get xx miles" at Rexall - I am such a rookie sometimes There were bonus miles available on Keg GC, so I thought if I bought $50 worth I would get the bonus miles AND the weekend spend deal.....obviously, I did not get both But, now I have Keg GC for my bday in a couple weeks? I just told hubby that is where he is taking me - garlic shrimp, here I come!

Oh goody! It sounds like yet another" use enough coupons on products you might not normally buy at stores you don't normally go to" offer. I suggest everyone get multiple copies of the booklets, keep detailed records of which coupons you use, staple a coupon to each receipt after you complete the purchase because sure as shootin this will turn into another STB fiascle! According to the terms & conditions (which you should keep a copy of as well!) they are saying allow up to 120 days for the miles to post.

I'm ready to play the game!

STB fascicle!

Can you give me the cole's notes version of what happened?

 

[mort1331]

Can you give me the cole's notes version of what happened?

multiple stores, stores not having product in, still have not added points to go towards Gold or Onyx levels. Even though it clearly stated that it will.

 

[1926Moon]

Gotcha. I shall be armed with my saved receipts!!! Thanks for the heads up

Yup what he said! (and good on you for understanding me even though i had an epic spelling error!)

The Shop the Block was a massive promotion to get people to use cash miles -- use a certain number of coupons at a certain number of stores to earn up to 1900 cash miles --- many of the stores didn't carry the products to even use the coupons --for example there were some high end cheeses and deli meats that you needed to buy 2 of at .. Foodland & most of the stores don't even stock that kind of food. There were pages of this thread dedicated to our escapades but most annoying was/is that some people still have not been awarded all of the earned miles and like mort said they were to be included in the 2017 Gold/Onyx status and that hasn't happened either.

Just do some old fashioned CYA and you should be good to go!

Ok wait... Those of you in the east you can't have milk count towards your totals!? We can, just no deposits count?

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Me too (edit to add: have dairy in my shops).

No fluid milk products (i.e., milk, Delight/Coffee whitener). We can have yogurt, cheese, etc. Sorry I wasn't very clear on that.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Yay! Mega Miles! I'm going to be strategic about it this time so I can use it on my card AND my DH's card.

I might have to switch my account back to dream miles for it, cause that is half a flight to Florida for me and much more valuable then cash miles (1250 = $131 cash)

Question about booking flights,, I have only ever booked my flights dept and return. Can I just book return now and when the dept flight prices lower purchase the dept flight later. Hope that makes sense.

My mind is ready for Mega Miles,,Bring it on!!

OP, where did you find the link for the Mega Miles promo? I didn't see anything when I logged into my account.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Don't forget to log into your accounts on May 1 and print the coupons (if they are there)...I don't get the paper mailer typically until the end of the first week of the promo, which is so annoying.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

My account is currently on Cash miles and I earned 183 miles this weekend. If I switch my account to Dream miles today, the miles I earned this weekend will they post to my Cash account or Dream?

i'm pretty sure you can but it'll cost more to book two one-way flights than one round trip.

I can't wait to see what's needed for the Mega Miles promo... I could use a big miles boost! I crazily have 3 trips booked over the next year... I am looking forward to my trips of course but would love to save on flights, or the hotels before my cruises. Especially the one night in March in FLL! It seems to be twice what one night in December is. I hope the coupons aren't too hard to use.
