Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[dancin Disney style]

Also saw there is a limit of 5 gift cards per person. Guessing they track that by AM card # used. So if you planned to just stock up forever looks like that won’t work.

It says limit of 5 in the flyer. I wonder if you could get miles on more than 5 though...don't think the store can track AM account numbers.

• Good afternoon, and Happy Thanksgiving weekend. I ordered the Halifax Theatre tickets for my daughter (Christmas or December birthday gift, I was thinking) and received the voucher today. It says photo ID is necessary to collect the tickets? Has anyone experienced that before? I don't think my Cineplex tickets said that ID would be required. I'm disappointed....not for the loss of an AM, but for the loss of what I thought would be a fun night for DD and her boyfriend.

Thank you. I did not see this when I ordered the tickets, or I would have put in my daughter's name.

Debbie, I would call or email the theatre box office and explain what happened. So long as they have the correct name when she goes to collect the tickets all should be good.

Sorry, Airmiles will catch the limit... think of your targeted offers attached to your card, the system recognizes your card when it is swiped.

 

[Donald - my hero]

We didn't get the email from AMEX this month either, I'm wondering if this offer is specific to the people who actually get the notice? We won't alter our spending habits anyway --- the AMEX is our primary payment method. We only use BMO when we're at Zehrs or 1 specific restaurant in town that doesn't take AMEX and cash everywhere else. I like the wording on this offer though, because we rarely spend over $100 in a single purchase.

Right but that's not store level. Could they actually block every single account from getting more than the 5 gc's? Perhaps that's a simple thing for them to do....IDK.

The stores are connected to AM since your AM totals for Cash and Dream miles appear on your receipt and you can use AM to pay. So yes I think they can know if you go over the 5 GC limit per AM card in store. What will probably happen is that the system won't add the bonus AM for the extra gc you buy. They will let you buy them, but won't give you 150AM for the extra ones. I guess you could be sneaky and ask for the bonus AM to be added manually but that's not very honest imo.

The fine print on this offer in the flyer is pretty clear : Limit of 5 cards per Collector Account. Also says it's not valid on variable load cards so if your store is out of the $150 cards you won't get the miles.

That's exactly what I had decided overnight. I did call today and spoke to a very helpful young man who actually made an account and noted her particulars. He even put her name on a pair of seats (which wasn't part of the service with the AirMiles voucher-unassigned seating??) He said that she shouldn't have any trouble getting in. I've made notes on the voucher and will speak to her about it. Thanks for the reassurance!
Another thing I need to do is get the name on my Airmiles changed from DH to me.

 

[ottawamom]

Or depending on how many airmiles you collect in a year you could just open up an account in your own name. DH did this when we got credit cards last year. We collect most of our airmiles in my account but I strategically collect using his account to keep him at Gold level. That way when the special 1 airmile deals come out we can take a few kids along with us too.

I will use his account to pay for the odd hotel room or car rental and use my account for the bigger ticket items like flights and park tickets.

I had a great shop at Foodland today, using one of my gift cards bought last week. I had the Booklet of Coupons to use, and some of the things were also loaded in "My Offers", so double points for me! Some of the things that I bought immediately went to the Village Food Bank, who were located outside the exit. Got two of the Marvel thingie, too. Going straight to the Church penny sale. Some kid will be happy to spend a penny or two to get one.

I did think of that, be I worked hard to be Onyx on his account. I'd hate to lose that. He always gets excited when mail comes, but then I say, "Sorry, Sweetie....not for you!" lol

 

[ottawamom]

Get your own account for January. I also find it useful when they put limits on things we really want. I can purchase x with my card and x more with DH card. Something to think about.

 

[tinkerone]

Another thing I need to do is get the name on my Airmiles changed from DH to me.

I just had my name added to the account. That way either of us could do transactions however it is mostly me who does them. As they never wanted to deal with me when I called because I wasn't on the account, it was so much easier when I added my name.

My cash and dream miles always show as zeros on receipts. I never actually thought anything if it until I saw people posting receipt photos on FB and saw that their miles where there.

I went to Sobey's to pick up a $150 gift card. They had no preset cards, only ones that you can add any value . I asked if I would get the 150 Airmiles and the person said yes, but they won't show up for a couple of weeks. Sobey's,s is not my favorite store and I am chasing down points from 3 or 4 other promotions so I did not buy one. The person who seemed to be a supervisor said that is all they have ever had and there would be no issue,but I did not feel confidant on getting the miles. Is everyone seeing the points on their receipt when they purchase the cards.

The last 2.months I seem to be having issues with Airmiles showing up , I hope it improves.

I find with my account when it is locked "0's" show up on the receipt. When it is unlocked then the airmiles in my account both cash and dream show on the receipt.

I picked up 5 GC the other day. They did not appear on the cash register screen when they put them in but they were all there on my receipt once printed. I have only ever used the card that you can load whatever amount onto. If you change your mind it should be OK.

I purchased 5 of the Foodland gift cards (for groceries) and today 5 of the Sobey's gift cards. Both times they were the type of gift card where the Cashier had to load the amount to the card. On one of the cards she accidentially loaded $1,500 and I almost paid that before realizing what happened!! LOL. I purchased mine in Whitby if that makes a difference for anyone.

Also I immediately used 4 of today's Sobey's gift cards to purchase Shell gas gift cards and had no issue whatsoever.

With all my cards I received the 150 per card and it showed up on the receipt no problem. Ohh, 1 Foodland gift card the Cashier had to add the miles manually but the other 9 cards I had no issue with.

I just had my name added to the account. That way either of us could do transactions however it is mostly me who does them. As they never wanted to deal with me when I called because I wasn't on the account, it was so much easier when I added my name.

Ohhh, I didn't know Air Miles would add a second name. That sounds like a good idea. I should add my husband. Then if anything happened to me, he can still use the air miles saved. Thanks!

 

[Spotthecat]

I bought 5 GC at Sobeys today and then went in to buy some raisin bread and saw they were handing out the Marvel thingies. So I ask the teller if we could get them for buying gift cards and he said yes, so I left the store with 22 of those thingies. Awesome! They immediately went into loot bags for my son's birthday party in the afternoon! Oh and the giftcards were the loadable ones. Also used my Amex to buy the cards, so today I just got 178$ off my cruise woohoo!

 

[ottawamom]

I was wondering if the gift card purchase would work for the Marvel toys. I didn't ask though. I'll likely collect enough during the course of the promotion for my needs. Good score though!
