Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Silvermist999]

Thanks ilovetotravel1977.

It looks like it's any airmilesshops store not just the ones listed on the promo page?

Yup, any of the airmileshops stores, not just those listed, but must be 5+ DIFFERENT stores, minimum $20 spend!

 

[Silvermist999]

Just picked up our mail after being away and got our CNE eTicket....do I need to call air miles about the typo 2016? I'm assuming the ticket will scan correctly, will it? Hate to be turned away at the quick entry turnstile, and have to go line up in the full price ticket sales lineup.

I'm glad to see that new promo for airmiles. Might be able to do this one for the boys and back to school

I was spent $145 and scored 387 Am. I was happy about that. I was hoping to do two shops and use one of my targeted offers sent to me...but I didn't have enough to buy another 40.00 to get the other targeted offer. Oh well. I will take what I got. Pickings have been slim here. Hoping it gets a little better for fall.

You can add the Bay to your list Mel -- but only if the item is available in the store you plan on picking it up in but it helps to avoid the large free shipping minimum.

I’d be happy to use an extra CNE pass to take my family of 4 if somebody can’t use it or wants to order and share

Thanks for the link for CNE! Planning on going for the first time over labour day weekend (same weekend we will go to Canada Wonderland). If someone doesn't need theirs, I would gladly take them to cover my whole family!

I just tried to get the CNE tickets and it looks like they are gone. The link that DilEmma posted isn't working for me and I went into the AM site and can't find anything there either. Too bad...just yesterday my DD asked if we could go again after we get back from Florida.

Just got our passes -- i swear our letter carrier hoards the mail until it fills the box to the point it can't close!! They also say 2016 and don't include the ride pass. Did an online chat and this is what i was told:

Karl: Thank you very much for your patience I have checked with my colleague from our Rewards Team and can assure you that the Passes you have are valid for 2018. We apologize very sincerely for the printing error. My colleagues from Rewards also confirm that the Passes you have been sent only offer you free Admission to the CNE. You will need to pay separately for all rides you wish to take. I can definitely understand that there may have been some confusion when you read the terms and conditions of the Offer. However, the portion of the terms and conditions that read: Ride All Day Pass for One was one of the different CNE Admission Passes we are offering our Collectors today. The Reward for 1 AIR MILE only included free admission.Thank you so much for your understanding and my sincere apologizes again for the confusion and trouble caused to you. I do hope you have a great time at CNE. I am quite excited too and hope to visit one of the days too.

Way to deflect "Karl" we all know the pass was to include the ride ticket thing as well but hey, 1 mile right?

***ETA, tickets are spoken for

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

The ticket is double sided...why is that?

 

[Disney Addicted]

The ticket is double-sided because it came with TWO admissions. If you check each side they have a different ticket number.

Yeah, this was suppose to come with one ride-all-day-pass. I haven't heard back either yet.

I just forwarded my prior e-mail and scanned documents to Air Miles again, noting the CNE starts in 10 days and I have not received an answer from my e-mail sent 5 days ago.

In case anyone else wants to send an e-mail, I was told to send it to:
care@airmiles.ca
attention CRG/Jannatta

 

[Silvermist999]

The ticket is double sided...why is that?

They're trying to save trees. Couldn't even print the tickets in colour, lol.
The ticket numbers should be different on the front and back. The QR code on the eticket will be scanned at the gate, they don't even keep the ticket.

I sure hope these tickets will be valid at the gates and scan properly. If the weather cooperates, we plan to go opening weekend, I'll post if the tickets work at the gates!

 

[Disney Addicted]

I'm happy about the back-to-school promo Air Miles is having. I almost placed an Amazon order yesterday but got lazy. So glad I didn't as I placed it today instead as order #1.

Orders 2-5 will be Chapters (daughter wants books); Rona (daughter's ceiling fan literally fell apart 2 nights ago and we need a replacement); Staples (always need printer ink); and Etsy (I keep promising daughter to download some Paris digital scrapbooking papers so now I will).

If it takes 120 days to receive the 1,000 then they should be credited around January 7 (if I have done the math correctly). I still need 2,000 air miles (more or less) to order 4 Universal Studio tickets late Jan/early Feb so that will be half of the needed! 200 a month from e-rewards covers the rest and all the rest I collect in between will be bonus miles. Hopefully the required miles don't go up drastically before I order the tickets.

All done my orders!
1 - Old Navy
2 - Gap
3 - Sephora
4 - Amazon
5 - Hudson's Bay

 

[oceanwave]

I am going to order a Disney park ticket with airmiles. But before I do I just want to make sure that I can still use the ticket to upgrade to an annual pass? Also is it best to get the 5 day or 7 day ticket?

 

[dancin Disney style]

All done my orders!
1 - Old Navy
2 - Gap

Nice...I will have three done tonight maybe four.

I am always unsure if Gap and an Old Navy purchase will count as 2 separate orders. I assume so because they are different stores, but they are the same company and sort of share a website.

Yes you can upgrade any ticket media --- Disney LOVES to take more money from us You will get the value of the tickets and will pay the difference between that and the current gate price of whatever you want to actually have. My thoughts on which is better to redeem for is get the max that you can *afford* in this case the 7 day because if you collect miles the way we do in this household (never buy anything strictly for miles and try for at least 1:1 ratio) they will be FREE.
