[Disney Addicted]

Thanks! Did you get this as an e-mail? I'll have to keep a look out in my inbox!

Hmm.. how do I know if my AMEX is a "basic AMEX air miles consumer" card? It's silver in color with the AM logo.

The initial invite to this entire promo "Soar into More" was an email that required you to register your card to participate --- ok did that ... have we ever received another email alerting us to the actual promos?? NOPE -- I've found out about them right HERE .. love my Airmiles thread

It doesn't seem to matter which card you use, once the link is live, sign in and you'll be prompted to enter the card number and name on the card--- they want the PRIMARY account holder FYI You have the same card we do and it works just fine

Anyone else NOT able to print their Sobeys offers? Says Coupon Not Available.

Mine all popped up but stupidly in a new tab, just one coupon on the page so i snipped them and stuck them into a word document to cut down on the paper usage!

Paper is one of the most renewable resources. Don't feel bad using more paper! Those of us in forest industry towns appreciate it!

If I had a Sobeys near by I'd be excited, lol. Sadly, we don't.

I was so excited about Blue Friday in Ontario! I just got back from Shopping and spent about $90 and got 484 miles. Not as many as I was hoping for. About $13 was not airmiles related products. They don't carry the Diabetic Boost I wanted so I lost out on earning those miles. I somehow managed to avoid buying candy too They only had a couple of bags of popcorn and the Tia Rosa wraps expire Sept.13th, I still got 4, hoping to freeze them. The pasta rang up at $1.99 each instead of $2.49. How did everyone else do?

 

[ottawamom]

I got home about an hour ago and was about to post the cost of a few items when I read that the dollar was up again. Ran out to buy some US cash before I forgot again. I spent $100 got 445AM. The Maynards candy is $2.99 so you end up having to buy 4 (oh well, I did it for the cause), smartfood popcorn & doritos chips are $3.99.

I have printed off my batch of coupons for Sobeys as well but I just couldn't do them as well in one large shop (too much to keep track of). I have another coupon for a $10 GC when I spend $50 Mon-Thu so I'll do more shopping next week.

Hope everyone else has great success today.

Sobey's Blue Friday, love that Sobey's has finally brought this to Ontario! I also love that it is on a Friday, I know it doesn't work for everyone but I really don't love shopping on Saturdays. Spent $70, received 355am plus a $10 gc for Greenfield deli meat.

Happy shopping everyone.

 

[mab2012]

The good thing is you do have until the end of the month to spend the $400.
If you have a Walmart near you, try shopping there, they price match virtually all stores on Flipp.

Thanks. For some reason I had it in mind that the promotion ended September 13. Not sure where I got that idea from. Not a Wal-Mart shopper if I can avoid it, but I should be able to get close to $400 without going out of my way by the end of the month. And will fall back to gift cards if I have to.

My typical monthly credit card spend is a good deal higher than $400, so it just caught me by surprise when I realized I've only gotten to $60 or so in the first week. Doesn't help that I've forgotten to use the AMEX a couple of times. I just reach for another card out of habit. I'm sure I'll get there, one way or another!

Pretty sure what they're excluding here is corporate cards.

When I registered my card, there was a checkbox I could click to optionally get a "reminder" email when the promotion started.

Still I would probably miss these entirely if the enrolment offers weren't posted on this thread to start with - so thanks to everyone who has done so!

We did that but for some strange reason hubby doesn't get the e-mail till the enrolment period is almost up. I get the e-mail reminder when the offer starts but by that point you can't register.. very odd indeed.

I'm currently doing my best to patiently wait till hubby is ready to go to Sobeys, hoping they've not run out of all the good stuff

If Disney comes out with a discount for Canadians to purchase tickets to the parks do you think the number of air miles required to get tickets will go down?

 

[Days In the Sun]

Little blue book arrived in the mail. I don't see anything in it that's not on the website. I did notice that the 10am wus $50 at airmilesshops it cumulative so no need to spend $50 at one store.

Reminder if you are doing the current 150am airmilesshops promo that it needs to be two different stores, not just two purchases.

My first Blue Friday
Well that was exciting but stressful shop.

I clipped my coupons that were available to me....none of them posted and they said wait for 1-2 weeks and see if they are posted if not bring coupons back to store and they will credit them.
so I've kept the coupons 1/2 of which could be scanned and the other half had to be manually put in by the cashier. My total is 161 bonus coupon miles.

Next
Tostitos/Scoops and Blue corn --bought 3 of them at $3.99 --75 points awarded.

Now the Smart Food popcorn was priced at $1.99 on the tags on the shelf,,but rang up at 3.99,,to which I challenged with the manager.
I did end up getting all 9 bags for $1.99 each. All 225 points posted.

My total airmiles earned this shop
595
plus 161 to come
I'm happy and hey my shopping got done early.
Hugs Mel

If Disney comes out with a discount for Canadians to purchase tickets to the parks do you think the number of air miles required to get tickets will go down?

Not immediately -- they will need to "sell" the current stock. When the last discount came out it was a bit of time (tried to search for the exact date but had no success!) before AM dropped the "price". They've only just recently (this week sometime i think) "sold out" of the discounted tickets and the increased cost to redeem is HUGE. I would imagine it will take a fair bit of time till they are "gone" because many people are re-thinking their game plans now. Anyone else care to weigh in on this issue?
