Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Debbie]

I headed to Sobey's today. I had a couple of Oikos coupons that expired today, and since the yogurt was on sale, it made sense to go today rather than wait. I ended up with just 2 meal deals-my freezer is FULL and those garlic breads are HUGE-, 1 breakfast deal, AM on the yogurt and fruit cups, so 214 AM on about $55 worth of food, not all getting AM. Now, if the Jays could win today, my day is complete.

Dropped a little care package off for my sister, let's just say she has 400 airmiles worth of sausages
and garlic bread in her freezer.

Hahaha! Good job!
I'm tempted to go back and get more because the sausages were pretty good. We got the turkey ones and we all liked them. I put two of the garlic bread packs in the freezer. They are too big to go through another one this week.

A few more miles have posted here and there, and now I am exactly 10 miles short of that Disney ticket.
I did two surveys yesterday and those usually post pretty quick, so I am hoping to hit 3550 tomorrow. If not, I am waiting for 800 airmiles to post on Thursday.

LOL
Actually I kept them because someone mentioned making Chilli and I recall a friend of mine uses these type of beans in her chilli and it tasted quite good.
Somehow I always get roped into organizing the United Way fundraiser at my work ,,,,,maybe chilli would be a good menu item?

Gotta love popsicles, iced coffee and sausages.
Will I get new cards like this?

What are the surveys? How does one go about doing surveys? This is something new to me that I have not heard about.

And when i whip out my targeted coupons at Rexall i get a double take from a few cashiers .. "how did you get THESE??" I always spend an inordinate amount of time wandering the aisles with Kindle --you know for the calculator for the hard-of-seeing -- and multiple coupons spread everywhere. Last week i heard "security scan section B" and soon after heard a familiar voice "OH MY GAWD it's just YOU!" Cashier wandered back to the front and in a stage whisper "just ignore her, she's our die-hard Airmile hunter"

Love our black cards -- makes me feel bizarrely powerful

Just back from the roadtrip. DH drove, he's on holiday this week. Got 4 GC and some groceries managed to rack up 1060AM. All in all it was a good day AM hunting!

Ugh, we never get deals like these

 

[pigletto]

One ticket ordered! On to collect for ticket number two of the four I need !

With regards to the American Express bonus 2000 AM deal, does anyone know how long you need to keep the card active once you get your miles?

That's where I signed up. I don't do a ton of them, but they are free miles so every little bit helps.

I dont think you have to keep it after you have fulfilled the min purchase. Need to read fine print, but pretty sure.

So went to Wasaga beach today, and yes there is a Foodland there. Go in anyway for chicken meal deal for parking pass to Ontario Parks. Well picked up 2,$150 GC since only picked up 3 the other day. Cashier said ring them in first so to pay for the chicken, I chuckelled and said that I have a couple to pay with for the whole bill anyway. Rang everything up, pulled out my 2 cards from before and paid with them no issue.
Thank you Foodland, all 5 cards extra 1000AM plus what will be bought with them.

I plan on keeping ours until 9 or 10 months. I will get rid of them before they add the annual fee for next year onto the account.
