Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[isabellea]

It's not me honest...it is like I am being awarded points for accessing the website...

Maybe someone else card or account is linked to yours like it happened for @dancin Disney style ? To avoid future issues I would probably contact them to see what is going on and not wait for all your points to disappear or if you used someone else points without knowing be wrongly accused of fraud?

 

[tinkerone]

Yes, unfortunately they do. The T&C for the Universal 3-day 3 park-to-park pass says "valid for 9 months from time of purchase".

I'm not impressed with that. It makes it hard to redeem for the tickets when we do not have a set vacation date yet. I would love to cash in my miles for the tickets as I get enough Air Miles and be able to use them whenever we do decide to go.

I received my 3-day 3 park to park tickets three weeks (or so) ago. I just checked and they say 'Expires in full 01/28/19'. Nothing about a 9 month period. Would be nice if they didn't have expiry dates however I can understand from a business point of view.

Good points. I thought that in my case it was some sort of glitch but it could be straight up fraud.

I wanted to say that I was in a similar situation last fall Dancin Disney style and PC all sorted it out, especially when I pointed out that I had redemptions in both QC and MB in one week, where I hadn't left ON... They put everything back and deactivated some of the ghost cards that had apparently been sent out that I hadn't requested. I think it ended up being about $400 worth, but I have to say I was actually pleasantly surprised with the Customer service. I did it all by phone and it got sorted out fairly quickly, so don't hesitate to give them a call if they aren't responsive via email!!

Thanks for the suggestion. I found on the PC Optimum site where you could access your points allocation history and you can see the breakdown of the allocation of points along with the details of the purchase (store or PC Mastercard). I checked and all the purchases listed match up with my receipts. It seems that there is a delay in when the points are allocated (store purchase & PC Mastercard purchase) and how they allocate the points based on if the retailer is 10 points per $1; 30 points per $1 or 45 points per $1. It looks like Mastercard purchases might be done weekly now, I don't recall there being a delay before the switch over. I also forgot that for the PC Elite Mastercard, Shoppers purchases now earn 45 points per $1, rather than the 30 points $1. Based on my calculations, my balance it correct so I don't think there are any other cards attached, but I think from now on, I am going to use my points more often rather than letting them accumulate...

Okay, I would obviously double-check, but I just ordered a two park two day pass and it does NOT have an expiry date on the back. That does not mean that can't change.

Hmm, I just checked and it does say expires within nine months on the two day under the terms and conditions. Maybe I got one of the old supply.

I don't have enough miles yet to order anyways but I wish I could be confident I would get those!

Darn... I'd be ready to start ordering in the summer but at the moment the earliest we might be going is August 2019. I don't mind an expiry date but it truly needs to be longer...

I just received a 7-day Disney parks pass and checked on the back, there is no expiry date on this one. It has an issue date of 01/03/2018 and states valid proof of Canadian residency required. This one is a plastic card, the one I have from last year also doesn't have an expiry date on it but is paper. If they don't have an expiry date can I assume that I can use them up whenever I want to?

No, the expiry date *should* show up once you put it into your MDE account. The current tickets expire the end of 2018 according to the information that was on the Disney website, the Airmiles site &others who have received these tickets.

Directly from the Airmiles site under the Terms & Conditions for these tickets:

The Magic Your Way Base Ticket provides admission to any one of the four Walt Disney World Theme Parks for each day of your ticket.
Tickets and options must be used within 14 days of first use. First use must be on or before December 31, 2018. Proof of Canadian residency required.


**the paper vouchers you received from the last offer don't expire until 2030 -- i guess they had to attach some date?!?

So I just got off the phone with Disney, I needed them to link one of the two vouchers I had. Both the paper voucher from last year and the card I just got today have an expiry of Dec 31, 2030! It doesn't show up in my MyDisneyExperience account but I got a verbal on that. I'm sure I won't have any trouble using them up before then, lol. Interesting though, one of the vouchers is showing as "
7-Day Magic Your Way Base Ticket - CAN Res Certificate" and the other shows as "7-Day Ticket with Admission to 1 Park Per Day". I wonder if there is actually a difference in way each voucher shows up in the system?

THIS is great news that might deserve a separate thread if you don't mind starting one -- i don't like the share information that i can't back up with first hand knowledge. Make sure you mention it pertains to tickets obtained thru AIRMILES though to *hopefully* clear up confusion that will most definitely arise!!!

I've added information to the first page of the Mega Miles thread that explains how to use 3 coupons that require no cash outlay and has a list of people who are willing to help out those who live in Airmiles dry areas of the country. I'm doing my best to provide links and suggestions to help everyone get the maximum bonus amount so if you haven't been trying to complete the promo because you don't think it will be worth your time pop over and check it out!

Info about 3 free MM coupons

oops...wrong thread.

I was at Metro (Ontario) today and the regular cans (284ml) of Campbell's were included in the airmiles promo but I didn't see it in the flyer. Cans were regularly $2.29 sale 3/$5 with 15 am wub 3, all varieties.

We bought some of the cartons of broth -- able to get sodium free chicken, $1.99 each buy 3 get 15 AM. I thought it was a pretty good deal for Metro and I've already used one carton to make my own condensed soup (hubby can't have that stuff for some reason but really likes *those* casseroles )

I bought a couple of chunky chicken rice for dh as well as a couple of tai chicken broths, low sodium not sodium free as he usually likes tai. I normally buy their sodium free broths as well but I am quite stocked at the moment, I may go back by Wednesay for some.

Oh good! I have the exact same scenario but both of mine are green vouchers. The most recent one I redeemed in Feb says the same thing - the one I got last summer is the Can Certificate. So strange!

THANK goodness for Mega Miles. It really is sad right now out there. Got 18 AM last night at Sobeys on a $85+ Spend...

Ditto.....I went to Metro yesterday and spent $76 and got 19 AM. I go there every so often just to pick up meat but you know how it goes....you end up getting a few other items as well. Fortunately??? the other items had AM's or I would have earned only the 1/$20 which probably would have earned me a whopping 3 AM.

On the MM side I was able to use the Travel Hub on the weekend and found a last minute deal that got me a hotel for the weekend and 300 AM.

I was just poking around the AM site and I've got a question about the cash miles evouchers for Marlin Travel. It says participating carriers or some such thing. Who are the participants? I know I can make the 5-6 MM coupons for my DD's account as well as my own so now I'm questioning where the bonus miles should go. DD set up an account for STB and all the miles went to cash...it's currently sitting at 2409 miles. The plan was to use the miles for Starbucks when we go to WDW, but that's enough for 2-3 trips. Now I'm second guessing with the potential of the MM bonus and the miles that will come with the involved purchases. Should I switch this one to all dream and use for Marlin evouchers? We will probably do an all inclusive trip every winter from now on so the vouchers could be useful depending on how they work.

Who has used the evouchers? Would you recommend them? ease of use???

What to do....what to do?

O/T but news about the Aeroplan and PC optimum programs. Esso gas stations will soon be switching from Aeroplan to PC optimum.
