Airmiles Armchair Chatter

I don't think it is reward-based specific. It would have to tell you that in their promo description (i.e., Shop the Block Cash)

I didn't take part of the Shop the Block promo, but I think I'll be good for the Mega Miles. The Lowes, Safeway Rx, Airmilesshops, Shell, Staples and Rexall should all be doable for me!

That is what I was thinking but I just want to be sure...

I was a little upset about not taking part in Blue Friday. I'm sooo close to another DW ticket...Had my list done up, was ready to head out and do some shopping...went to check the bank account as I had gotten paid and wanted to see if my cheque was what I thought it would be...Then I seen we had a " bouncing issue " with the hubby's paycheck We got it straightened out...but we are thinking he won't get a last paycheck for the amount of hours owing to him. So I had to scale back the shopping for a bit...until Hubby's cheques from the new job start. OH well...it is what it is. Just crossing my fingers that the price doesn't disappear as soon as the offer from DW does.

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.

Yup, you can book one way only. We are flying into one city and then flying out of another and had no issues booking one way.

For me, it seems the Mega Miles are much easier for me to obtain than STB. 1) BMO card 2) Airmiles shops 3) Global Pet Foods 4)Lowes 5)Budget

I will definitely be keeping a very detailed list of the transactions since they messed up so badly with STB.

Everyone keep an eye on the dates for the Global Pet Foods coupon. It doesn't start on May 1 like the rest.

This information is probably on here somewhere already but just 2 quick questions. What are the current air miles needed for a 5 day ticket and 7 day (both kids and adult). And can I upgrade and add a day to these tickets?

Heads up!
I just returned from Rexall for my weekly milk and egg run. The MegaMiles coupon could not be read. The cashier manually entered the barcode and it was not recognized. She and the manager received information from two other Rexall's that the coupon was not working. My store did not have the booklets yet. And of course, no one in the store was aware of the promotion initially.

 

[DilEmma]

I know this might be a stupid question but can you guys tell me if the Mega Miles promo is for dream and cash or just cash like the STB promo? I dont see that anywhere but before I go being a "Spendy Pants" (thanks DilEmma) I want to make sure I am earning dream miles and NOT cash miles.

Lol. That's not really how I meant it. Unfortunately I don't need anything at most of those stores right now. I wish I had some spending needs though.

I was chatting online with Air Miles in regards to the Rexall problem (reading Disboards while waiting). I confirmed that the MegaMiles is for either dream or cash miles.
Quote from the chat:
"Always best to check to make sure specially when a big bonus Miles is at stake lol. So yes the Bonus Mega Miles that you earned will be posted on the ratio that you have set on your account."

Further to this, I chatted online with a knowledgeable CSR. He asked me to hold on to my receipt and will have the promotion coupon manually added. I also confirmed that the Sobeys branded BMO Mastercard does NOT qualify for the MegaMiles BMO offer. (DH came back from the grocery store a few months ago, all proud of himself for applying for this credit card.)

Had to go to three LCBO to get the wine but finally got a bottle at Erin Mills town centre.LCBO.last bottle.
Did the Rexall offer but coupon did not work--she added it in manually and it worked.

On last page of booklet Metro is listed but I can not find anything in the booklet regarding Metro,,,,maybe it is going to be added online later.

 

[alohamom]

Thanks @DilEmma!

Now I am definitely ready for Physio Therapy.......................

They let me combine the Rexall spend 30 get 50 airmiles and the Mega Miles spend 25 get 15 bonus airmiles PLUS I used a 10,00 gift card from last weeks shop (sometimes it's nice to be considered a senior),so I spent $24.00 and I got 65 airmiles.

i like the look of the mega miles event! there are some reasonable options for me. one thing i've noticed: the 150$ at airmilesshops is cumulative over the month. i understand that to mean as long as you enter the coupon each time you could spend 25$ at amazon, 50 at indigo, 50 at sephora... as long as you hit 150 total you're good.

Excellent!
Did you make a purchase at Rexall by chance? Wondering if the coupon worked for you.
Edit to add: Disregard, I saw your subsequent post.

Yes! Thats my understanding of how this deal will work.

Actually I just placed two orders at gap and clinique online yesterday totalling over $150...should have waited, but I really don't see an issue spending over $150 again in May!

I like this mega miles offer a lot!!
