Can you not use My Disney Experience app still if staying off site? I thought it was just advance booking for dining and fastpass, and free magic bands, plus Magical Express that wouldn't be included.

I thought MDE app was usable as long as you have tickets.

I'm fairly confident an extra "D" slipped into that comment --- was supposed to be ME (as in the bus, not the Duck :P )

Oh Oh....I just sent a missing miles enquiry and accidentally submitted the wrong missing miles number. I used the travel hub, going through the MM coupon, for a hotel back in March and only received the hotel bonus of 200 miles. Still waiting on the MM bonus of 100. I decided to send the enquiry before I forgot and I guess I hit the 2 instead of the 1. The second that I clicked submit I saw my mistake. They will figure it out right???

I wouldn't get too twitched about it -- wait and see how it plays out, worst case they'll contact you and question why you're asking for too many, best case, you just got a bonus 100 miles!

Well today husband and I decided that for our 2019 November trip we will try to do everything but food using AirMiles! We already have our 2x 7 day WDW ticket vouchers.

We decided today that to stay free (just pay taxes) on AM was a better idea than paying up to $1700 CAD to try to rent a DVC hotel for the 8 nights or so we will be staying. This led to us deciding that we would do one day at Universal. Perfect - AM has tickets!

That is my one compromise to my husband for letting us try off site. :) I don't want to venture to the dark side but he wants to go for just one day. LOL

WDW tickets - already have
Universal 1 day park to park tickets x2 = 4700 AM
Flights (using this years rates) = 5600 AM + $300 in taxes
Hotel 8 nights (using this years rates) = 10,035 AM + $135 in taxes

I have about 5000 left to save... then I'll be waiting til November bookings are available for flights & hotel!

We are going to try for the Delta Lake Buena Vista near Disney Springs. If anyone has stayed there, I'd love to hear what you thought. The photos make it look beautiful and so modern, and the reviews are all amazing.

Our #1 concern in a hotel is noise though. I imagine any hotel can be noisy but we really like to get a good nights' sleep.

I stayed at the Delta Lake Buena Vista for one night after a Disney cruise in Jan 2016 and had a great stay. Zero issues with noise. But the hotel was brand new (still trying to attract a crowd) and it was January. I still think you should be fine though!

Love your trip plans! I'm in awe of you doing it almost completely with air miles. Nice work!! That is my goal one day.

Oh, and you will love Universal!
 
Sitting at Orlando airport waiting for our flight home. We had an awesome cruise and fabulous time at Disney. Makes me want to plan another Disney Trip. I will need to really boost my airmiles when we get home! And check to see if everything has posted correctly. I hope to pick up Disney gift cards as we go along to boost my savings. Can't wait to get home to the pets.
 


Had a great Staples shop on Saturday! I had ordered cheques for our business a couple of weeks ago, and picked them up Saturday and used the 20x AM offer, so received 4 base + 76 bonus. While we were there, we ordered 6 new chairs for the office. The chairs we picked were originally $239.99 ea, but rang up at $164.99 ea. We earned 24 base AM and 456 bonus, for a grand total of 580 AM for the day! I think that's the most we've ever earned from Staples.

On another note, we finished the Lego Cinderella's Castle yesterday - SO CUTE!
 


sort of off topic PC Optimum rant!

Two weeks ago I got a very weird email thanking me for signing up for the PC Optimum program.

Well, I have had been a member of the blended program from the first day they combined and have actually liquidated my points because of all the fraud I had heard about including points theft from members her like @dancin Disney style

I was suspicious this was phishing or some other type of hack so I sent a separate email to PC Optimum through their customer service contact portal.

This morning I got an email back from them CONFIRMING I AM NOT A CUSTOMER ?!?!?!?! How do you explain my profile page on the PC Optimum site and the points I redeemed in March?

What the heck? What kind of IT people do they hire? I was clear with my info and they are totally out of it with this response.


Thank you for contacting PC Optimum Member Care.

I am seriously thinking of just severing all ties with this program, sheesh!

I was just north of that area at the time it happened. I didn't hear anything about it until I got home which was after 3pm. Funny, my mom was calling right as I walked into the house to ask if I had heard about it. I said no, she told me and then I reminded her of where I had been.

My friends' son walked out of one of the buildings at that corner and saw the van go by. A few seconds sooner and he would have been struck.

Haven't log in to AM yet but I just got an email stating that my account was credited with 200 miles. That was by far the fastest missing miles reply I've ever gotten and proof I suppose that they just give yo the miles without checking anything. Oh well, I'm sure there have been a few over the years that I lost track of so this evens it up.


Now, on to more important things. Free Dining has been released this morning.....along with another room discount offer. I'm trying to price it out but I just keep getting the 'someone ate the page' page.
 
Is anyone doing the Shell/Coke targeted personal offer?

I've bought Coke twice now and the points haven't been on the receipt. Just wondering if anyone is having any success.
 
Ok which credit card gives you one free checked bag on westjet - the westjet WO MC card, or the airmiles WO BMO MC card?
