Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Disney Addicted]

Has anyone tried the Indigo GC purchase at Foodland yet? I just purchased 4 (Xmas gifts) and the AM didn't show up on the receipt. Not too concerned they said they may take 6 weeks just wondering if others had theirs treated the same way. If they don't show up I know the store will add them later.

Initially at the store I went to the $25 GC didn't scan at all. They put the card into the system but maybe didn't know to load the AM attached to it as well?

I meant to go to Foodland today to get Indigo and Netflix GCs but got tied up and forgot. Tomorrow morning! I'll let you know what my experience is.

Has anyone found out about the soar into more 400 bonus airmiles, if we can shop through Amazon.ca through the airmiles site, or does it have to be directly through Amazon.ca?

Can I ask what kind of ticket this was? Was it a 7 day base ticket or a park hopper. Might have to consider going this route since we want to upgrade the passes to an AP renewal.

Base ticket

On a side note, I accidentally deleted my trip countdown and made up one with DisTickers, but it's too big to accommodate my other countdown. I can't for the life of me remember what the address was for my trip countdown. It wasn't DisTickers, Tickerfactory or MagicalKingdoms. I was able to get Disney resort backgrounds with Disney characters as the countdown, but it was smaller along the lines of Tickerfactory. Any help on this would be appreciated.

I decided to do it directly thru the Amazon site for a couple of reasons.

1. I've had trouble with bonus miles connected to on-line shopping actually showing up (not the standard ones but multipliers or any of the coupon/extra like this)
2. I have a trial Prime membership which includes free shipping no minimum (so long as there are no "add-on" items in your cart!)
3. There is no minimum purchase to qualify for the AMEX offer.
4. There is a set 100 bonus AM for each transaction up to 4.
5. Thru the airmilesshop portal i can only earn 1 mile per $20 (or currently a massive TWO)

SO, i did 2 transaction thru Amazon directly, spent a total of $49.26 and earned 200 AM. Had i done it thru the AM portal i had the potential of getting an extra 4 miles and that's not enough to worry about, I'll buy some snacks at Rexall and earn those!

If you can find the same ticker in someone else's signature you can click on it and you'll end up on the webpage.Hope that helps

You're right, better safe than sorry! Thank you

I thought of that, but I searched thru a bunch of threads and couldn't find what I was looking for. That's why I asked in case someone else could remember the link. Maybe I'll get lucky...

Edit: I found it! It was Mickeypath!

At Sobeys yesterday, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER they had the St-Hubert soup, ha! Still peeved, lol.

But I did buy lots of Indigo giftcards - they're like liquid gold in my family. They didn't have the 25$ ones, but I instead got a bunch of 50$ Indigo cards, and each gave me 70 airmiles on my receipt. I also bought 4 x 25$ Bass Pro cards, but it just says "Gift card", and the bonus miles for those was only 25 each, not 35. Of course, I only noticed this in the car, and I had ice cream in the heat...so didn't go back inside. Is this something they can fix later???

If you buy the 50$ Indigo cards, and would like 25$ ones instead - you could always head into a Chapters and ask for it to be split on two new cards to give as gifts...

Another tip is that if anyone is planning to give them as bday or Xmas gifts, you can go in store and purchase a bday gift card (or Xmas, etc.) using the generic Indigo gift card. Last year I bought a bunch of Indigo gift cards at 20% off at the supermarket and then went into Indigo and split them all up into $5 gift cards to go into my son's bday party loot bags.

Looks like there's another contest thru the Airmiles site!

Airmiles Prize Pool
And here's where it will get confusing .... follow this link to the Official Rules
Prize Pool Rules
Summary of these rules is as follows

• Each offer/coupon you use gives you 1 entry
• Download the Reebee APP, Reebee.com and receive 1 entry for each "floatie" you click on ???
• Once you receive Push Notifications (??? someone please help the old lady who has NO idea what this means!!??!!) you get however many entries you scratch

Like I said, confusing and will require some serious studying. I don't *think* there is a coupon booklet this time BUT some of the offers are only good in store and require coupons printed....

Bleh, sounds like you need to be a smart phone user for this one to maximize. I have a smart phone but I just use it in the stupid way.

Follow-up to this new promo: I downloaded the Reebee app and when i finally found a section i could input my AM # they want me to change my password and create what looks like a new account -- NOPE not happening thanks very much so i deleted the app until i can figure this out. Decided to give AM a few days till their customer service reps learn about this promo and headed to the Reebee chat session. Here's how that went down:

• Jacqueline: Do you have any idea if there is a way to attach my Airmiles # to the Reebee App? There is a new promo thru AM that wants me to download your app
• Jesse W.: Hi Jacqueline, thank you for the question. You can use the reebee app to discover air miles deals that are available at different retailers. You do not need to link your air miles number, but you can search for "Air Miles" in the reebee app and see all of the deals available to you
• Jacqueline :yes, i can see that but unsure how to let Airmiles know I'm actually doing that!they currently have a promotion running that requires me to load this app
• Jesse W. :Let me check on that for you. Do you happen to have a link to the promotion so that I can make sure I am looking at the one you are referencing
• Jacqueline:sure <https://www.airmilesprizepool.ca/en/rules?reg=ON>it's under rule #5 section
• Jesse W.:Great. Yes, this part of the contest is launching this Wednesday. At that time, you can look through the reebee flyer to find the air miles token that will grant a ballot.
• Jacqueline:GREAT! thanks for your help
• Jesse W.:Have a great day!

So i guess we have to wait till Wednesday for this part to function properly!

Add me to the "I have a smartphone but don't use it" category. I text my 3 DS's and make the occasional phone call. I just can't be bothered to figure it all out. (When in Florida I do use my browser to search a few websites) I know one day I will have to give in and join the "App" generation but that isn't going to happen until I have no other choice (or need a new phone (android or iphone)).
