Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Shudder--please keep your kids at home till after treating them for Pink eye!!
I caught it one year (as an adult) and passed it along to my brother ---he ended up with eye damage due to the antibiotics not working. I have never forgiven myself for that.

I did my spend $40 get 60 airmiles yesterday using the Rexall load and go and Rexall email coupon = 120 airmiles.
I just restocked on all the stuff I left in Cuba.
No threshold Load and Go for me this coming week though.

Just a F.Y.I.
Lysol wipes are on sale for $2.00 each at Sobeys,
"the kills cold and flu viruses caught my attention"
buy 2 and get 15 airmiles.

Halls buy 4 at 1.25 each=20 airmiles is still on at my Sobeys.

Hugs Mel

I caught pinkeye on my family trip to FL when I was like 15... oh my... the awfulness of going to the beach!!! And dealing with tons of little cousins and trying not to infect anyone. There are mocking photos of me laying on the couch with cucumbers and teabags with my antibiotics in misery.
 


Just sharing

I got the you can make FP+ email tonight--logged in and couldn't get my sons ticket to work ...DVC associate person told me to buy the Peak MK ticket which I could use at any park as we weren't sure where we were going to go for one day at Disney.
We choose Epcot for the Flower and Garden Festival and the ticket won't work for that Park.
Call the 1-800 number and they took care of it for me.
So my plan is
**Walk on Spaceship Earth upon arrival
FP+ Soarin 9:05-10:05
**Walk On The Seas with Nemo and Friends
**Eat Breakfast at Sunshine Seasons.
FP+ Living With The Land 10:05-11:05
FP+ Relaunched Mission Space 11:05:12:05--my back is feeling pretty good and I don't want to mess it up so I may reconsider this,,Test track is definitely out.
**Visit the DVC Lounge and then off to visit the World Showcase and smell the flowers.
Ah I love planning
Hugs Mel
 
I didnt know you were DVC too Mel. Thats great. Lounge is soso, quick stop. Might as well do figment while your there, exit and go upstairs.
What about soaring?

I have a question for those with the AMEX Platinum card. Can you use it to access the lounge at Pearson? I've never given it much thought, but if I can, that would help pass a long layover next month.

Hi Hon
I no longer have my American Express card but here is some info I found on Pearson Lounges

Maybe it will help,

Wow....I never knew this existed....it would have been great for our Christmas trip as we were way early to the Airport and sitting at the gate was boring...

Pretty sure the AM Amex doesn't get you in. You CAN purchase entrance at a discount as a perk of AM. I think you just have to show your card at the door. Basically though, unless you have a long layover it's not worth the cost.

It does show the basic AMEX Platinum card as having access, so I think the Platinum AM card would be eligible as well...one thing to note is that the lounges are not in as convenient locations as say the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounges...I just checked for our past Christmas flight and the lounge was at the other end of the airport from where our gate was, so not an option for us. In the USA, it must be a Platinum "Business" or "Corporate" card to gain access.

Ohhh.....I was meaning the Maple Leaf Lounge. There is an Amex lounge???

It was the picture that got me thinking. Next month, we fly into YYZ at 5 and don't fly on to YXU until 10, so thought that an hour or two here would help pass the time.
 
I just did my grocery list and for the first time in over a month, it will be worth it for me to drive 1h to Foodland in ON with a stop at Rachelle-Béry on the way and IGA. I should get a total between 300-400 AM. Not my best week, but much better than what I can get in QC only.

No, the Platium AM AMEX doesn't give you access for free ... you can see the difference in this chart on the AMEX website
