Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[tinkerone]

Back from our 5000+ km road trip so now I am back into a AM collecting mode. I am 2600AM from Onyx (I never got that level) and I want to get it this year!!!

About the Amex offer, what do you think of this note: Purchases must be made directly at Amazon.ca to be eligible for this offer. Purchases made through other third party websites using any Amazon payment service are not Eligible Qualifying Purchases.

Does that mean we cannot go through airmileshops?

I think it means you can not order through Amazon.com (the usa version of Amazon) or directly from any parties that sell their wares at Amazon.ca. There are a ton of retailers that sell through Amazon.ca in which you would purchase directly from their company or website but you pay Amazon. however they will not count as a purchase from Amazon.ca. Products that ship from Amazon.ca directly and not products that ship from a third party retailer. An example is I purchase an sleep mask from Amazon.ca however it ships from a company (Vaga) that is based in China.
Hope this is clear and jmo.

Are you certain that ordering from the same retailer will qualify for the Amex offer? I wonder if we have to order from four different retailers.

No where does it say it has to be four different merchants, so I should be fine.

Qualifying Purchase(s) for this Offer: To be eligible for 100 AIR MILES Bonus Miles, make any purchase of goods or services, including shipping or additional charges, with your enrolled Card online at a participating Canadian merchant. There is no minimum spend requirement. The full list of participating Merchants is included at americanexpress.ca/soarintomore during the offer period. Each qualifying purchase will result in a bonus of 100 Bonus Miles (up to a maximum of 400 Bonus Miles).

I personally decided on doing 4 merchants just to be 100% sure.

Staples: binders and scissors for back-to-school (free shipping with order over 45$)
Indigo: notebook and book (free shipping with order over 25$)
Canon: ink for my printer (free shipping on all orders)
Amazon.ca: I don't know yet but we are prime and order there multiple times in a month.

Stopped at Rexall for eye cream and moisturizer, that got me to $50! so I added some snacks for now and our trip (in 3 weeks!!!!!) and spent $74 plus tax, got 257 AM. Only need about 1600 more to get some flights for December. Fingers crossed for some an epic pickle deal?

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.[/QUOTE

Anyone else getting a warning screen when they try to go to the load and go website saying it is not secure?

 

[ottawamom]

I am getting the "Not Secure" message also. Darn I was hoping to do my Rexall shop today but I guess it can wait till tomorrow.

Just tried to log in to Airmiles and I can't enter my AM # to get into my account. Anyone else? Nevermind OK now.

 

[bababear_50]

I get the warning from Load and Go too.
Yesterday when logging into my airmiles account I had to do an extra step by signing that I was not a Robot,,perhaps they are having security issues.

Anyone having problems getting the contest to recognize that you've downloaded the app? It keeps telling me that it can't confirm it.

I have to buy some new sheet sets. I wonder if I can use any of these online shopping deals to earn AM.... I don't typically shop online.

I'm happy because my targeted one is also spend $30.00 get 50 AM and DOUBLY glad that i opened my LoadnGo offers on the Kindle on Friday and saved the page so i can actually SEE what i have to work with but i'm wondering if they will even work when that part of the system seems to be down??? Thoughts?

You sure can! Have you ever used the Airmilesshop? If not i can "invite you" and we'll both make some extra miles

Currently Bed Bath & Beyond has 10X miles offer (till the end of today), not sure how the price compares to other stores. There's also Linen Chest which has 15% offer if you sign up for their newsletter. Bedding Superstore is in the list as well ... suffice it to say, yup you can find bedding on-line with bonus miles as well. I do a LOT of on-line shopping

@bababear_50 there are NO stores which give miles for gift card purchases but there are seriously a LOT of stores. Taking hubby to try on shoes today (not happy about spending a holiday in a mall, tough cookies) and then coming home and ordering them on-line because i can get AIRMILES ... nasty duck! LOTS of stores have miles this way but not in the brick and mortar storefronts

Not that I really need anything at Rexall but $30... one bottle of kiddo's sunscreen would do that! And we will need some for our trips coming up. I wonder if I can use the printed one, my Load n Go, and the one on my receipt? That would be ideal lol, 150 AM for spending $30.

I'll need to shop online, I do that enough. Amazon and something else I guess. I normally go through ebates as the cash back is better value to me, but I'll make an exception
