Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ottawamom]

I said I wouldn't do those Receipt Offers unless they had additional points.
Is 20 extra Airmiles a big enough incentive?????
I am thinking on it. lol

Yes! Thanks to you posting this I checked the items on offer. I had picked up 3 yogurt at Fresh Co on Thursday. It will be worth 50AM (3x10+20). Even if I have to submit and inquiry, they do post eventually.

I submitted and it now requires further investigation. At least that's not a "no" at this point.

Checking in to see if I'm missing anything... Are WDW hotels bookable on the Air Miles hotels page anymore?

I ended up getting gas twice in the last 3 days. Once again what I had planned to do …I forgot to do. Was going to do the Vpower and my usual 30L….paying with my Amex for 5x the Aeroplan points. Ya, no! I’m so conditioned to get my 30L of basic gas and paying with the MC. I think I had pumped maybe 2L when I realized my mistake…AND I DID IT TWICE! I likely could have squeezed in 40L but didn't think of that either.

Happens to the best of us!!!

Just curious, what Amex gives 5x points?

I am getting V-power today for our car, so that will be 120 miles more into DH's account.

Cobalt… The points transfer 1:1 into Aeroplan.

Ah OK! I thought the Cobalt multiplier was 2x for gas and 5x for groceries/restaurants. I've gotten Shell giftcards at the grocery store to get 5x for my gas lol. Was hoping there was a more direct way.

Fillup on the 2nd car. Earned 3 base, 3 shell+ bonus and 114 bonus 40x on fuel offer. Put in over 60l of regular priced gas. This vehicle can take any fuel.

Hi Hon
Yeah they are bookable but definitely hard to find.
I do not like Red Tag's system at all.
I am having a hard time locating my Universal hotels also.
This weather (cold) has me talking of jumping on an airplane and heading down south for a few days. lol

For Universal, there are two ways to help. First is to choose Orlando - Universal Resorts as the location. And the second is once that list comes up, search for "Universal's" as the name of the hotel. It then gives only those hotels on site that have availability (which sadly is not all of them).





I have not searched for Disney hotels but I believe that Orlando - Disney is also an option. Might help narrow it down? and using "Disney's" as the Accommodation Name might help as well. But they may simply not be available. I found for my dates there was more on Universal's site itself than anywhere else.

Happily reading through all the Universal Blogs right now.

Went for my Shell fill-up. The spread between regular and Vpower nitro was 34 cents!! I feel like it was only 7 cents last time I looked... The math felt hard so I opted for regular for a 40L fill.

Good morning all!

I’ve been looking at booking an all inclusive for end of Feb or first of March. Is there something I’m missing or what is the deal with Air Miles? A couple of the resorts I’m looking at are selling through AM for at least $1000pp more than anywhere else…one of them is $1700 more. I would really like to be able to book through AM and redeem some miles but I’m certainly not paying thousands more.

Thanks for the heads up!!!! I've opted in. DD bought gas yesterday and got some extra miles. I'll hold off until the weekend.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Oh and 20x for the instore stuff.

I found that as well. I thought maybe I was just not looking properly. They certainly are a lot more expensive from what I see. We booked one of the dreams resort in the Dominican Republic for the end of February. Did that directly through air transit.

I'm glad Shell is doing the 40X offer again, I might be able to get gas this time! And the instore for 20X but I don't need anything from in store, we'll see I guess
