Awesome! I still haven't done my MM shop at Foodland, so I know where I am headed! (and then that will be enough gc for a loooonnnng while since I only shop FL once a week after Church on Sundays for their 'bargains', and Sobeys isn't close at all!
 


Does the purchase of the $150 gift card count as a MM offer? Or do you actually need to shop with the GC for the MM coupon to work?
 
Wonder how the Metro thing is going to work - will we get double - flyer plus MM points, or is this going to be another issue of wondering whether we got MM credit for this vendor. I'm still uneasy about how Sobeys GC went down....I got 150pts on the GCs and did scan the MM coupon with a cashier who was knowledgeable about the situation. I'm dying to see what Sobeys posted (if anything) from that offer this week!

I'm going out on a limb here and assume you mean the GC offer at Foodland this weekend? ($150 = 150 AM) The answer would be a hard no, unless gift cards are explicity mentioned either in flyers or on a coupon they will not earn Airmiles nor will they contribute towards any threshold spend.
Fine print from the back of the Foodland MM coupon (threshold spend)

Cannot be combined with other minimum spend/receive offer(s). ®™Trademarks of AIR MILES International Trading B.V. Used under license by LoyaltyOne, Co. and Sobeys Capital Incorporated.

If you're referring to the Sobey's/Urban Fresh offer from last weekend, those gift cards were a specific MM coupon.

Follow-up to my Bay escapades last week -- starting today is their Friends & Family sale which gives you extra discounts on most everything you buy (certain high-end things are excluded) INCLUDING previously marked down items and things already on sale. If you shop online they have a 2X the miles until April 12th and it will help towards the MM promo. This will automatically be applied if you shop in store or if you use the code FRIENDS online ***although the fine print says you can't use other coupons with this offer I have used the StB coupon this past year AND the MM coupon last year with this offer in store -- they didn't bat an eye.


Friends & Family
Wednesday, March 21 – Sunday, March 25
Extra 20% Off Sitewide When You Use Your Hudson’s Bay Mastercard® or your Hudson’s Bay Credit Card

I am so so tempted to purchase another 5 of these. Who am I kidding? I probably will. As long as I can trade 4 of them in for Shell gift cards, as I have been lucky enough to be able to do so far, I probably will. Our bi-weekly gas budget is $150. I can take the money out of savings and each paycheque put the $150 gas money back into savings until it's paid back.

Same here! However other people that saw the e-mail from Sobey's head office report it said the 150 MM will take 4 weeks to deposit. (I was so excited to read we were getting both I never did check out the time frame myself). The 150 that show up on the receipt are suppose to be from the flyer offer.

So I was able to get my shell GC with the Sobeys GC, but I did not chance it with a straight up exchange. I did by a few beers,(to celebrate) and added the gift cards. The cashier even asked if I had my Sobeys GC from the weekend to get the points. Never batted an eye, and hey now I have some beer to cheer as well.
 
I'm hoping to do the same. I was successful in using a Sobeys GC to convert to the Children's Place GC so hopefully for Shell. The Sobeys I was in did not offer Shell GCs, only Esso and PetroCan (which is odd since Empire bought out Shell stations in Eastern Canada a few years back)

Is your Sobeys in GTA?
 
Another sad week for Sobeys. Oh well. Some good prices but no good AM deals. MyOffers this week are absolutely atrocious too. Every offer is 8AM or less. My spend threshold is up to 30AM for $110 Spend... nope.

Will probably just do the Metro redeem 95AM cash Get 50AM.
