Airmiles Armchair Chatter

2016 here too, and just grounds admission. Still better than nothing and still worth 1am, goes with our 2 free kids from the school we got.
On another note, just back from my walk to Sobeys to pick up a few things for a late bbq with friends I found out were coming over. So I had one $150gc left over, my bill came to $48, there were Disney loadable gc there, asked the cashier to put $100 on one. Then swiped my AM, and gave her my GC to pay with. One of the managers was at the till at the same time. Neither batted an eye and had it go through. So happy about that.
 
I recently contacted Airmiles about 1200 missing miles from the Sobeys/Shop The Block giftcard promotion. (600 for 4 x $150 giftcards and 600 for using the Shop The Block Promotion coupon with that purchase). After a lengthy chat, I was told to email the missing miles address. I sent scans of my receipt, both sides of the coupon, the flyer, and a copy of the chat. I was awarded all 1200 missing miles this morning!

Did anyone else shop at Etsy during July for the "new store" bonus airmiles? I haven't gotten airmiles for my purchase yet. Apparently have to wait 75 days, which is after when the bonus is supposed to show up... chat was not very helpful. It's only like 1 or 2 miles for the purchase but it's the bonus I'm worried about. Wondering if anyone else shopped there and if their airmiles appeared. I don't use airmiles shop online often unless it's for a bonus of some sort. I much prefer Ebates. They are so much faster!
 


I am not much of a drinker but I wish I had waited to fill the wine section of my new buffet.

I was just checking things on Disney Movie Rewards (Monday game to play) and it appears that the Gift Cards are no longer available as a reward. They have a $10 Movie certificate instead. Does anyone know if the Gift Cards come and go on the site or is this a new change.

Those Movie Certificates are for the US only, too.

This old post makes me hopeful that the gift cards will restock soon ... https://www.disboards.com/threads/disney-movie-rewards-gift-cards-in-stock.3353354/

what a day in the Duck household!! Our daughter & her wife booked a ridiculously cheap fare on Flair from Hamilton to Halifax early July. They flew out last Saturday without a hitch and said the flight was more than acceptable -- even got upgraded to exit row seats because some foolish family thought if they paid for those seats for their 12 year old ahead of time the kid wouldn't get moved --- sorry folks, money doesn't allow you to break regulations! Coming home however, a completely different story - the type bad movies are fashioned over!!! They ended up spending 11 hours in the Halifax airport, 3 very long delays & one *minor* hour at the end, 2.5 hours on a cramped plane with MANY small crying children ( and 2 exhausted mommies who also sobbed) There was zilch communication with the airline (unless you consider the suggestion on their website to try emailing for help since their call centre was overwhelmed!), the website either showed the flight being cancelled or on time, they gave them a $10 voucher food voucher that wasn't accepted at any of the locations past security (uhm, ok??) promised pizza after the midnight announcement that the fight would leave at 1 -- neither the plane nor the pizza arrived till after 1-- The only way we could see what was happening was watching the airport sites and guessing. Same plane was to head from Hamilton and then turn around -- it showed departing and then delayed 4 times before it finally appeared on the board in Halifax as arriving delayed at midnight. The freak show just got worse when the flight disappeared from all sites at midnight and for an hour there was no idea what happened to it -- At this point none of us were too sure we wanted them to board it to come home!!! Plane eventually arrived and wasn't one of theirs so not enough seats for everyone-- choice of taking next flight was given but the first one with seats isn't till TOMORROW! Or you could get a voucher for travel at a different time and find alternative method to get home! We finally left our house at 2:30 to go pick them up and fell into bed around 5 this morning.

while this was going on I was continuing to set up my new phone since the old one simply died. Got a new Samsung that supports the Samsung Pay App and i was all excited to be able to try out using that for my Airmiles card when we went shopping yesterday. Got my account set up and downloaded the app but i can't get the danged thing to accept my fingerprint or PIN. Contacted the online chat and was told i could simply stop into the store front in the Eaton Centre or try the old uninstall & reinstall. SIGH... Anyone else having any luck with this new trick???

I'm currently seeing a $5 egiftcard, in case you are interested.
 
I just went to Sobeys (Terry Fox / Kanata) and the Spend $100 get 100AM flyer coupon AND the Spend $100 get 75AM MyOffers both applied! PLUS the $5 off $50+ receipt coupon! So I spent $96 and got 260AM thanks to that, and a bunch of great targeted MyOffers. Was very surprised!!
Lucky. I loaded my offers to see if I would get both and I didn't. Managed to get 446 with a $135 shop with the Blue Friday specials, but the extra 75 would have been a nice bonus.
 
I saw that earlier and tried to redeem for it (Christopher Robin card) however it said 'out of stock'. Looking right now they have removed the Gift Card category. I do hope they return but it is what it is.
That's so strange! I can't see it as well! I redeemed 1,000 points on Thursday for a physical $10 gift card. I was surprised to see it and was thankful I looked. I can't believe it is gone already! I'm sure they will have more soon!
