Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ottawamom]

Glad to hear you like the brownies and they're good for you (dark chocolate, not too much sugar, good fat source). That's what I keep telling myself anyway. My DS (the picky one) says he prefers his brownies a little cakier. I think I'll try and adjusting the recipe to see if I can get that texture for him.

I have to buy a bunch of assorted gift cards for work. Do either Sobey's or Rexall give airmiles when purchasing gift cards?

Last week they had Marks, the week before it was itunes, i think, so the answer is yes, but not all one week. Changes all the time and sometimes like this week none at all.

Shell sell gift cards as well and has a 7x the AM when you buy in store, no gas purchase required. But I am not sure how many AM they give for how many dollars you spend so there are probably better deals sometime. But if you are in a hurry it could be good for you.

I have gotten gift cards at Shell before and I never got any Airmiles.

Using the Airmiles (one's we got such great deals on) is still a huge cash outflow saving. Not having to fork out $1500US (5 tickets) is still my preferred choice. For those who were looking to pay cash anyway this is a nice bonus.

I'm thinking the same. If I were buying in cash, I would be happy for the 25% off. But if I can get to four tickets with airmiles before the next trip, I much prefer doing it the airmiles way and buying things I would purchase anyway.

I bought $15 in Proline last week at Shell and got 7 Airmiles.

Also, I called Airmiles about a month ago and was told that SeaWorld and Disney park tickets expire after 10 months.

I was looking at the Smart Canucks site where there was a link to the Safeway Sobeys Canada Coupons. The coupons only say Safeway. Has anyone used them at Sobey's? http://smartcanucks.ca/safeway-sobe...ents-frozen-fruits-for-4-49-each-more-offers/

Hi
This is what the airmiles web site says
The 3-Day Magic Your Way Base Ticket provides admission to any one of the four Walt Disney World Theme Parks for each day of your ticket. Theme Park admission must be used within 14 days of first use.
Tickets are not valid for special or premium events or other activities which are separately priced or for any park commencing after May 1, 1998.

Tickets are non-refundable.

Tickets must be used by the same person on any and all days.

Disney is not responsible for lost or stolen tickets.

Ticket and ID required for entry. Ticket, ID and hand stamp required for re-entry.

It is agreed between owners of the Walt Disney World Resort and ticket user that all claims for injury or loss arising incident to presence on owners' property shall be litigated in Florida.

The owners of the Walt Disney World Resort shall not be liable for non-utilization of ticket components or loss of recreational opportunities due to refurbishing, capacity, weather, special or premium events or any circumstances beyond their control.

The owners of the Walt Disney World Resort reserve the right to refuse admittance to any person or persons.

You can also add on to the base airmiles tickets
Once at Walt Disney World, collectors can add on the Park Hopper Option which allows you to go from one Theme Park to another on the same day, or the Water Park Fun & More Option which allows you admission to other attractions like Water Parks, Downtown Disney , Pleasure Island and more.

When I called airmiles to inquire about Disney Passes (tickets) I was told they are like any other ticket-- they expire 14 days after First use.

You were misinformed. I have both a Disney and Universal ticket in front of me that I got from airmiles. Neither have an expiry date. Maybe the Seaworld tickets expire, but given the misinformation about the Disney ticket from that rep, I doubt it.

Has anyone ever experienced this,,it's not alot of airmiles ....just 34. But YES I want them,,lol.

I believe it doesn't work on Shell giftcards but they sell them for other stores. 1 per $10 purchase in store. There was a sign at the pump and it showed a bunch of giftcards on there. I didn't need any so was just getting gas. I guess a $50 gift card would be 35 bonus air miles with the current promo. Not the best deal of course but something.

Well I see Safeway has the buy 2 4L Milk get 50 bonus AM so I will probably get 150 just with milk this week. Otherwise I don't see anything that great on sale so I don't think I'd be able to spend $95 to get 95 bonus points. I had a lot of stuff go on the cc this past bit with kids sports registrations, equipment, school stuff etc. so I'm expecting to see a bunch more am added next week from MC.

I'm going to go to Shell today and see if I'm able to get some of the starbucks gcs with my AM cash, and get the bonus points! Will report back!

I would call the help line # anyway. Play the confused person card and see if they don't give them to you anyway. Ultimately they want you shopping in the Sobey's family and you did. It's worth a shot.

You guys are soooo lucky with that milk deal. I would be racking up the miles if we had it available to us here. How much is a 4L of milk in your area.

I'm not sure but do you have to save them on each individual site? For example my Metro offers are different than my Sobey's offer so I have to go to each site to save them. That stinks Mel, I hope you can get it sorted out easily.

About 4.50

to 4.99 for 4l. Safeway price is on par with most of the places I shop. It's around 4.60

I'm trying to log in to my AM account and it keeps saying "Oops!" but not giving me an error message... really annoying. I'm not sure if it's my account or the website... at least I got a few AM at Sobeys this morning, only 61 for some cat food (from a targetted coupon) and bacon. I'm trying to see if my points from last week posted ok. Hmm.

 

[ottawamom]

That makes it an amazing deal. I'm so jealous. Milk here is a little less expensive at $4.29/4L but we don't ever get AM on it.
