Did you have trip insurance on those flights? If not I'm going to call them for sure.Okay, so I had a short haul flight to Toronto that I booked through AM's leaving Oct. 23, returning Nov. 7th. Air Canada discontinued that route so I called AM's a few weeks ago to get a refund and got the story about needing to take a credit for future flights with a 24 month expiry. Wasn't happy but what can you do. I decided to wait it out for a bit and today AM's sent me an email about getting a full refund on this flight.
I just called and now have the AMs back in my account with a credit for taxes and fees being reversed onto the credit card they were taken from.
I'm so happy with this outcome. I already have a credit with Air Transat so I didn't need more with another airline.
If there is anyone else that has a flight they are looking for a refund on maybe try calling. Not sure if this is only with Air Canada but it could be worth your time.
No, no trip insurance.Did you have trip insurance on those flights? If not I'm going to call them for sure.
Well I'm not sure what's going to happen now, apparently some Sobeys are being "rebranded" as Farm Boy. Including the one I shop at (on Greenbank in Barrhaven). This will suck for getting airmiles. Link
So strange too because there is a Farm Boy in Barrhaven already (though it's parking lot sucks).
So does rebranding mean they would no longer be part of the Airmiles program?
Hmmmmm.....

From what I can see that we have in our PC points account, without even trying, it would be a lot easier to get more of these things. Too bad they don't exactly equal Disney $$$ unless we are saving money and loading Disney giftcards, which is risky for Canadians right now.
NOOOOOO! That is the Sobeys I drive to to do my shopping. Oh well, DS is moving to Kanata in August so I guess I'll have to head to the store at Terry Fox and Hazeldean now. It's only a few km further.Well I'm not sure what's going to happen now, apparently some Sobeys are being "rebranded" as Farm Boy. Including the one I shop at (on Greenbank in Barrhaven).

This has me thinking. I used to transfer money every 2 weeks into my US account. I would take cash on all my trips to the USA. Every time I would do it I would be thinking about the lost AM on my credit card but I'm much less likely to over spend when it's cash.....mind you I would always have a big splurge or 3 on the Amex anyway. I haven't put any money into my US account since I stopped working in March and now I don't know if I should. It seems like it's going to be a long time until I go back to the US and even then will I want to handle cash. Maybe a basic savings account is the better idea.I’ve stopped buying gift cards. I opened a new savings account through my bank. The money I would put towards gift cards goes into my account. So when I redeem PC points, any checkout 51 cheques, that kind of thing.
I don’t want my money tied up in Disney cards right now. I’m still thinking of it as a travel budget, but who knows when/where it’ll take us!
I've been doing this for a long while now. It has always made more sense to me. Yes, most of it went to Disney but I had a choice. I also could convert it to US when the rate was good and didn't have to worry about what rate I would get when I was finally able to use the gift cards.I’ve stopped buying gift cards.

At the moment I have a very large savings account, in both US and Canadian, just waiting to be used.
so where do you get these offers?Literally just checked, and saw this!! Anyone else? I haven’t stepped foot inside a Sobeys during this pandemic. But that will be changed within the next 14 days LOL

Husband and I both have offers like that on our Sobeys accounts but we are not shopping in any stores! My mom might shop at Sobeys in store and use my card though lol!
Baby is due THIS month! Walmart Grocery Pickup only for us like for most of the pandemic so far. Which is sweet since the pricing is great & I can price match after I place my order
