Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Debbie]

Quick question.

Are there any decent AM points for gift cards at the moment? I want to pick up something for my Travel Agent who had to work so hard.....and get nuthin'....when our cruise was #COVIDcancelled.

 

[bababear_50]

Sobeys and Foodland have these Deb
Gap, Hudson Bay, Door Dash,Kobo
spend $50 get 65 Airmiles

 

[bababear_50]

Shell although the return for Airmiles is not as good.


I was thinking about picking up a couple of Ultimate Dining ones for future use.
Visited with my brother (oldest one and family jokester) today and he said a few weeks ago he had Covid ,,,he didn't want to worry me so he choose to wait until today (my Birthday) to tell me ,,,,,men..... anyhow he said he knew for sure when he tried eating pralines & cream ice cream and it had NO taste. Hope you are do ok and thinking of you.

Hugs Mel

Thank you, Mel! This is perfect. I'm heading to church in the next village over and there is both a Shell and a Foodland.

I glanced at the new flyer in hopes of a good giftcard score for Father's Day. Sadly, no good gc offer for this year. I guess stupidstore gets my money for their gc offer this year.

I did notice that granola bars are a good score for 95 miles. My boys will be happy about that one. They don't get those often anymore. Other than that, I didn't notice anything else that would work for our family with Am attached for a decent price.

 

[bababear_50]

Same for me ,,stock up on some Granola Bars. Sobeys
On a positive note Metro deposited 150 Airmiles for the products I bought last week.
June 5, 2022

REWARD MILES ADJUSTMENT

I needed to do a boost to my Airmiles account
spent $118.84
Foodland Crispy Minis
Got 585 Airmiles
I haven't been donating much in the past few months to the Food Drive.
I had to go back into store as I did not receive the extra spend $100 get 50 Airmiles so the cashier added them manually,,,,,
I also had a buy 2 Crispy Minis get 10 airmiles in *My Offers*
I get back to the car and realize she credited me 100 Airmiles instead of 50
So I felt good to donate some stuff and collect 685 Airmiles.

Hugs
Mel

@TammyLynn33 I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this. Planning anything right now is difficult and adding this is a heavy load. Please take care of yourself and the kids. You are definitely ready and deserving of some time away.

Well, looks like I will end up canceling my BMO mastercard. I finally got around to reading the T&C to this new 750 maximum discount:

"Exclusive 25% Flight Booking Discount: If you have the BMO AIR MILES World Elite Mastercard, once per calendar year when you redeem Reward Miles for any flight booking, you will receive a 25% discount on the number of AIR MILES Reward Miles that are usually required (to a maximum of 750 Reward Miles) when you book through airmiles.ca or by calling 1-888-247-6453.

The flight booking discount applies to the full flight booking and will be distributed equally on each ticket included in the booking, to a maximum of 750 Miles total. For example, if your booking included three 1,500 Miles flights totalling 4,500 Miles, then each flight would receive a 250 Miles discount, and you’d be required to redeem 3,750 Miles for the booking. Any portion of the maximum 750 allocated discounted Miles unused in the one eligible flight booking transaction will be forfeited. "

It isn't even 750 per flight! This won't get me anywhere on the cheap. My card doesn't renew until November, so I will be playing around with mock flight bookings once this goes live July 4th to see how bad it really is.

Yep. We saved over 3000 AMs the last time we booked. This was the last straw for us...

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I'm just wondering if I should not be using my MC for anything towards our WDW trip (end of Nov, so card would be canceled by then) i.e., Christmas party tickets. If I needed a refund, how would that work if the card I used is no longer in service?

 

[CanadianKrista]

I think we are likely done with airmiles collecting when Sobeys leaves as well - I will focus on PC. However we will have a great summer this year thanks partly to airmiles (and PC). Booked AM Disney tickets in 2019 -used PC points (in the form of Disney gift cards) to move them to this year and add genie+. Booked flights to Florida and Newfoundland on AM this summer. Got Universal AM tickets. MNSSHP tickets with the Personal Shopper. Just ordered Wonderland tickets with fast lane plus with personal shopper. Have paid hotel deposit, memory maker and photos on the starcruiser with PC. And have a stockpile of PC paid gift cards for Savi’s and food and souvenirs and ILL for the Disney portion of our trip! I am down to 4000AM from over 80000, but it is all worth it!

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

@CanadianKrista That is quite the list of purchases! Amazing! If only those who mock the professional points/miles collectors actually knew what we got for "free" they would lose their minds LOL
