I'll have to go by and check it out. My DS loves bread, I'll have to take him with me for an outing. It won't be cheap with him in tow but I'm always looking for a new bakery and bread ideas.
Off topic but I stopped in at Cobs Bread right next to the Metro in Barrhaven - I really love their ham & cheese croissants so I was getting 1 as a treat - and when I went to pay the cashier said it was on the house! Highly recommend them to anyone in Barrhaven. Always have yummy samples too.
I hit Rexall on Thursday with the email coupon along with the load N go....spent $51.47 plus tax and earned 126 AM. Then this morning I decided to tackle a couple of projects at home so I went to Shell and got $200 in Home Depot gift cards then across the street to Home Depot. 220 AM from Shell and another 20 for using my Amex. Normally I'm Lowes all the way but today I just needed quick and HD is a lot closer. It actually turned out OK for once.....I got help from someone who actually knew what he was doing.
So I decent AM week for me.
After I bought my gift cards I had a thought. Wouldn't it be better to buy the cards in $50 lots? I'm thinking in terms of the additional 10 miles for the instore purchase. So you would get the 50 miles for the card plus 10 = 60 but on the $100 cards I bought today I got 100 plus 10. Does that make sense?
of course if you can spend $500 a day then $100 cards are the way to go. Right now I have no need for anything big. Still deciding on the summer trip but if I decide to get off my butt and do something about it I will start buying the prepaid Visa cards. Will need to do a little math on that just to see where I would end up in activation fees to see if the extra cost is actually worth it.....I think it is though.Hmmmmm....................... I am not sure but maybe I will give this a try next week.

For the 100 its 5.95. So still saving 4percent. Been thinking if people have the time you buy the prepaid mastercards. Then turn around and buy the gc. No issues i can see because its not a gc buying a gc. So potential os saving 15percent on your gc.of course if you can spend $500 a day then $100 cards are the way to go.

I found a Shell that would let me buy my GC with my mastercard.
Yeah ---I bought enough Canadian Tire gift cards for gas this summer.

Plus if they let you do the Master card prepaid and then turn around and buy the GC.Which one? I have to go down to Toronto next week and plan to get some as well. I'm going to be around the Old Mill so will range out along the Queensway etc (likely come down 427 to get there anyways)
I have 3 days there so $1500 in cards and 1550+150 AM
So yes if you buy 5 x $100 MC, that is your daily limit. Then next day buy your GC with those MC. The $6 is on top of the $100 so you will be charged 105.95. You will still have $100 for your GC. This is only good if your close to one of the shells and you want to maximize 15%.Sorry maybe I'm not seeing your logic
If I bought the prepaid mastercard that would count againsts my $100 transaction x 5 per day. (assuming I swipe my AM card)
Also say if I bought the $100 card I then have to pay $6 activation leaving me only $94 to buy gift cards right? And gcs come in $25 (few), $50 and $100 denominations so its going to leave dollars on the prepaid
So I guess if you don't want to spend max per day then its a way to potentially get some more points, however I actually want to hit the limit of gcs

Quick question for the AM pros here. I have a couple flights for later this year booked with AMs. Unfortunately, one of the flights has changed to arrive 2 hours later than I had originally booked which puts some inconvenience into my arrival day. This flight is with Delta. According to Delta's TOS I should be able to get a different flight for no additional charge, however, given that the flight was booked with AMs, does Delta's TOS even apply?
Has anyone changed a flight booked with AMs due to an airline schedule change? Am I to call Delta or AMs? I'm getting conflicting answers via Google.
