Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Canadadisneydad]

They're back online! I hope you and anyone else still looking for Canadian resident tickets snag them while they're back on the air miles site!

Hello,

Are these Disney tickets bought using air miles or some other way? Where would I find these?

Thanks

HI! That comment was about the fact that the CDN discounted tickets are back up on the Airmiles site. They had disappeared for a few days and several people were anxiously waiting to see if they would return or if the stock had run out meaning much more $$$ regular tickets.

***oops neglected to tell you HOW to find them! Go to the Airmiles website and navigate your way to the Dream Rewards, Events & Attractions and select Fun & Attractions USA

UGH! I'm confused. With the Soar Into More, do we need to shop from their direct websites? Or can we shop through airmilesshops? I don't do Starbucks, but doing a couple-or four-gift card transactions could be in the offing. Are they virtual gift cards? or physical?

It looks to me like you CAN get physical GC's however there is a fee for delivery where as the virtual come in email form. I am ordering 4 X $5 virtual GC's and am going to see if I can exchange them for 1 $20 GC in store. I'll use that as a stocking stuffer.
As to the Airmiles shops I'm not sure. I don't think anyone knows for sure and it will take a few purchases to figure it out. I'm just going directly through Starbucks.ca so I can be sure and the total of all four purchases will only be $20. No big airmiles loss on that.

That makes 2 of us... i keep scratching my head over all of the fine print on this offer but i think i have decided how I'm planning to handle it. Since there is no way i will make close to 100 AM on any of my purchases I'm just going to go to the websites directly & avoid the Airmilesshop completely. I have yet to receive any of my bonus miles connected to Mega Miles that i *should* have earned so I'm not anxious to try again! Regarding the Starbucks giftcards?? Yeah, that's another puzzler since one of the lines in the fine print says
Offer only valid on orders delivered in Canada.
Would this include e-cards that you can order on the Starbucks website or not??

Since this also appears in the fine print I'm not willing to play the guessing game and I'm just going to shop directly thru the sites. My luck I would make an error and by the time the completed "wait time" has passed it will be too late to try again!
This Bonus Miles offer may take up to 2 billing cycles to appear on your statement and up to 90 days to be posted to your AIR MILES Collector Account, after you have completed the eligible purchases. American Express is responsible for fulfillment of this offer. LoyaltyOne, Co. is not responsible for this Bonus Miles offer.

Did i add to your confusion or help?

Hey all, on airmilesshops it says gift cards dont count for Starbucks to get 1AM/$20 spent. I'm guessing it won't work for your AMEX promo.

No, that's kind of what I was thinking, too!

In my Rexall load and go I have a 12 airmiles for the purchase of 1 Rexall regular or extra strength Ibuprofen. 50's-72's.
In the new flyer it says if I spend 15 dollars on Rexall pain products I get 15 airmiles.
So my question is if I buy two bottles totaling 15 dollars will I get 27 airmiles?
I guess it is the"combinable"question.
Yes it is a word I checked.lol

I'm so sad....I finally had enough AM to get my second 5 day Disneyland ticket and they disappeared off the AM site...I wasn't able to check the AM site for the past 9 days because I was on the Disney Wonder in Alaska so I was excited when I saw Jacqueline's post that the WDW tickets were back up on the site so I just logged in to the AM site but no Disneyland tickets...keeping my fingers crossed that they will reappear soon....

My friend contacted Airmiles support through Facebook the other day and they said they'd be loading new inventory soon! Not sure if they'll be Canadian resident discounted ones though

For those who are thinking of getting gift cards for the Amex offer, I would advise against it. Usually gift card purchases don't count towards similar AM promos, so I'm assuming this is the same. I plan to stick to actual merchandise purchases to avoid risk of losing out on the 400 AM.

I agree with your good advice though I don't have the card. Good luck with hunting this deal down!!

I know I should know the answer to this question, but if I switch my redemption to Dream miles right now, does it take 24 hours to change over? Or does it take effect at specific time of day/night i.e., 3am?

 

[Debbie]

Ordered through Amazon and Body Shop-birthday and Christmas gifts. I need stuff from Staples, but I won't do the $15 shipping-both the others were free for me. If I had a large order from Staples, I wouldn't blink, but I only want 1 thing. ($200 buy gets you free shipping, I believe) I guess I'll see if Amazon has what I wanted from Staples.

Hi Hon

It takes effect 3 am the following day of change request.

Thank you! Just got it, we now have 5-day passes for my family of 4 (2 big, 2 little), and are thinking about looking at Universal passes next... Also looks like family trip may be getting firmed up, think we will book airfare this weekend!!

 

[bababear_50]

Today was paper products stock up day at Rexall.
7 packages of Savvy TP
3 six pkgs of Royale kleenex
I needed one cart just for these.

I picked up a few items for grand daughter stocking Disney cotton q tip tins x 2 (5 airmiles),cosmetic cotton rounds ,cotton balls, (10 airmiles).
In all I spent 111.72.
197 airmiles in total ,not too shabby.
If they post tomorrow I should have enough to get that
Disney 5 day pass I am eyeing.
Happy shopping everyone
Hugs Mel

Just an FYI for everyone, especially Onyx. I got my Disney ticket from the Personal Shopper service. They had quoted me 4325 AM, which was a little high by my calculations as it came in just under 10 cents per AM, but for value it's better than the Cdn ticket, which is less than 9 cents per AM. I think they purchased this straight from Disney as it is a barcode via email that I have to take with me. They also included the cost of the ticket, which is exactly what it would cost if I ordered the ticket via the Disney website, so I don't have to worry about bridging the ticket. So, I know AM usually gets their regular Disney tickets at a discount, so if and when they do offer the regular tickets again, I think (hope) it is in the range I had quoted earlier of around 4000 AM as that would put a ticket worth just over 10 cents per AM.
Just wanted to let anyone else who's Onyx and wants a ticket for value instead of just for visiting the parks know that you can get hold of a regular ticket via the Personal Shopper service.
