I have so many questions but I'll start with a few:
1. I haven't seen any of these GC deals you all speak of. How do you find out about these?
2. What are good emails to sign up to receive coupons and deals and such?
3. Does anyone here eat organic/non-processed foods and barely use drugstore items? I'm trying to see how I can stock up on points, I'm having issues because it seems like most of the items with AM are items I don't purchase or rarely purchase.
Hi and Welcome
Where do you shop for your food?
The GC deals are usually at food stores like Metro (well they used to be) ,Sobeys and Foodland and sometimes Pharmacy Rexall..
You can just look up their weekly flyers and see which products have airmiles associated with them.
Occasionally
Sobeys and other grocery stores and sometimes Rexall will offer if you buy a certain gift card such as I-tunes-,,,,,Marks Work Wearhouse ,,, Canadian Tire,,,etc..you will also get a certain amount of bonus airmiles.Current one is 60 airmiles with the purchase of a $50.00 Golf Town Gift Card at Sobeys.

Also go onto airmiles web site and look up their sponsors,,
it will list weather you get the airmiles in store or if you have to shop online to get them.

For organic products I find Sobeys has quite a few--however not always associated with airmile bonus points.
The gift card deal that everyone is currently speaking of is if you purchase $150 dollar Gift card at Foodland right now you get 200 bonus airmiles. Limited to 5 purchases. So if someone bought 5 of these they would be spending $750.00 and getting 1000 bonus airmiles. You can buy any amount between 1-5 gift cards.
You then can use these Gift Cards at the following stores for your groceries:

You could also contact airmiles and express your interest in collecting and perhaps they will have some suggestions.
