Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[dancin Disney style]

For me this would be a question of : how many miles am I talking about? AND how long do i want to spend chasing it down?

More than 100 probably, less nope! I can't find anywhere if there is a statue of limitations

I would have to look at the statement again but it's right around 90 miles I think. No idea how I missed that one....not even sure what made me look at the statement this morning.

Just back from my weekly Rexall shop and I heard the most upsetting rumour from the cashier. She heard, and this is just a rumour, that Rexall may be discontinuing their association with Airmiles and starting up their own rewards program similar to Shoppers. I told her if it came to that I would likely just stick with one drug store rewards program and that would likely be Shoppers as DH has a tonne of points already. I like shopping at this store and I like their staff. I will be really bummed if this comes about.

Triple dip while you can!

Nooooooooooooooooo Rexall is my #1 earning stop! I tried do get an answer via Chat but the "line" is 10 deep! So I've started a FB messenger session, they tend to respond fairly quickly, fingers crossed. I would also revert back to Shoppers because it's a 15 minute walk & we get all our scripts there anyway.

*****UPDATE**** I couldn't figure out how to get this image into ^^that post, here's the outcome of my messenger session

To be honest if Rexall pulled out of Airmiles so would I.
I can walk to Shoppers but I have to drive to Rexall.

Thank god! As I said it was a rumour that the cashier had heard. I'm glad you got to the bottom of it with Airmiles. Let's hope it never happens because I think there would be a few of us that didn't shop there anymore if they did.

Honestly, I don't believe a CSR at Air Miles would even be allowed to say anything that confirms a rumour - even if it's true! - until it's a done deal. Too many companies in the past deny, deny, deny and suddenly it's a fact...

I agree
BUT I am crossing my fingers and toes that this is just a rumour.

I agree and i hope in this case we can take this response as truth. I've used FB messenger before and this time was a bit different -- if you look you'll see there was about an hour between my question and their answer BUT the little logo showed up with the words "seen at" within 5 minutes. Usually a response comes fairly quickly after the comment is "read" I'm telling myself this means some research took place I'm also taking some comfort in the amount of time Rexall has been with the programme. Let's hope my sunshiny view isn't wrong!

I hope so too. I only just started with Rexall this past month or two. I'd hate for those AMs to disappear just as I discovered them.

Just wanted to provide some information if anyone is waiting for an order from AM....I ordered a DL ticket last week and as of today it hasn't shipped - normally they ship within a few days so I called. I was told that they were in the process of moving and conducting inventory so that is why some items are not showing up on the site and also why items haven't shipped that have been ordered. The ONYX agent I spoke to advised my ticket was in the "ready to ship" status so I should receive my shipping confirmation soon.

Regarding e-rewards -> Someone here mentioned keeping a survey alert link in their e-mail and checking it periodically. In the past I have always visited the website and found fewer & fewer surveys. After reading that post I kept the next survey alert link that arrived in my e-mail and tried.

It worked great! Thank you, thank you! In 1 month I earned $75 (already had a bit of a balance) and just cashed out for 200 air miles. Now I start over with $1.75 balance.

Sea World Orlando tickets are back up on the Airmiles site.

Woohoo!!! Thanks Mel! I have been waiting for them to come back! I even asked someone at airmiles yesterday if/when they were coming back and they said to check back in October once the catalogue updates.

Does anyone know if you can upgrade these to a Fun Pass if you get the with Air Miles? When I asked SeaWorld person they said I could upgrade a single day ticket and just pay the price difference between the price I paid for the single day ticket and the fun pass when I arrive at the park. When I asked him what if I bought the with points what would be the price difference...the same as the normal online price? He wasn't sure. Does anyone here know or have done it before?

I don't know about this, but I may give them a call and find out if I get a similar answer. I am also curious if I can use them towards a Discovery Cove pass, will report back!

Btw, for those still waiting, I haven't heard back about 1 and 2 day WDW passes yet from Onyx personal shoppers, they have had a few clarifying questions, so it has been slower than I expected...

Hmm the Metro ON flyer has a block on the last page saying Marvel Mania is coming and to get your Air Miles card ready...

Anyone have any idea what that might be?
