Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[dancin Disney style]

There's 2 locations near Union Station.

You can walk in the underground PATH system all the way down to Queens Quay, just follow the signs to the RBC Waterpark Place which is right at the foot of Bay/Queens Quay.

Thanks....I think I know where the one in QQ is.

LOL....for the most part I avoid the PATH. More often than not I end up in the wrong place. It's really, really weird because I'm an not at all directionally challenged. Maybe it's because I actually enjoy being outside on the street

Does anyone happen to know where the closest Sobeys Urban Fresh is to Union Station? I'm going to be downtown on Friday and get some gift cards if it's not to far a walk.

So if you are downtown on Friday and are any near Nathan Phillip Square they have a Christmas Market starting at 12:00pm on Friday and they have an Air Miles booth set up apparently and you can get a pair of socks and maybe even some other prizes. I was thinking of going in and checking it out.

I’m crossing my fingers the condo going up near my work with a grocery store in it will be a Sobeys Urban Fresh! I heard it was Farm Boy but now that Sobeys bought them I think they should use that space as a Sobeys Urban Fresh. At least in my dreams.

Thursday I will be bussing after work to ottawa’s 1 downtown Sobeys Urbana’s Fresh lol!

ETA: I just tried the store locator and it's not working properly

I'll be in the city on Friday as well!! I'll be hitting up the one on Queen's Quay because, well BEAVERTAILS are right next door ALSO as @juniorbugman mentioned, I'll be hitting up the Christmas Market in Nathan Philips Square for my free Milk Calendar and the Airmiles booth since someone mentioned getting a $100 gift card for HBC when they showed their ONYX card (others mentioned the socks too).

It's a about 1 KM to that Urban Fresh and i recommend to just head south on York street because it sits right at the end of that.

Longo's supermarkets have stacks of the free 2019 Milk calendar at checkout, they had lots along with a Longo's recipe calendar.

Very quick glance at the flyers shows that (in ontario at least) Sobeys has

• a gift card promo on this week - buy a $150 GC get 150 AM
• buy 3 greenfield products get 60 AM
• several pharmacy things buy 2 get 50 AM
• buy $30 lottery gift card get 40 AM

Metro

• $50 gift card for HBC, Moxies, Ebay, H & M, Roots, Cabelas get 50 AM
• ooohh .. i'm gonna jump on this one! fancy "fuzzy pop" $5.44 buy 2 get 25 AM (aka, perrier, flavoured San Pelligrino)

Foodland same $150 gift card thing

Urban Fresh has a potential game changer happening again this year gang .... the gift card offer is in the flyer AND it's their StB coupon! This is when some of us were able to double up on the miles on the first day the offer launched before it created havoc.
Buy $75 gift card get 75 AM

 

[TFC_UNTIL_I_DIE]

I was thinking about that. I also love the gc offer at Sobeys - I will load up - max of 5 per card.

 

[CanadianKrista]

So for Sobey's, can I get a gift card, and then use it to buy my groceries for the STB promo?

I see the Buy $150 gift card get 150 AM is in the Safeway

That’s my plan as well. Do the 5 gift cards have to be purchased in separate transactions?

 

[Silvermist999]

Can the Sobeys gift card be used immediately after purchase? I've never done that before.

When I buy gift cards at Real Canadian Superstore, the receipt clearly states they can only be used after a 24 hour activation period.

I just got an email from Rexall with a one day only coupon for spend 50 get a hundred airmiles I'll share it once I get to a computer. This will combine with the shop the block coupon so I'm happy. It's good for tomorrow only

 

[Raimiette]

So I recently had my first encounter with Airmiles chat (for the back to school promo). My base miles didn't post at all for 1 store and 3 others posted to the day before the promo started for some reason lol (I ordered everything on the first day of the promo). Only 1 posted correctly so no bonus miles. I put it off because I thought it would be a big fight but it was surprisingly stress free. The chat CSR didn't even have me send proof, they just took my word for everything (maybe because I'm Onyx? IDK). Very stress free. I was quite pleased.

This makes me happy because my Amazon base miles for the Shop-The-Block promo haven't posted (has anyone else's posted yet?) and it looks like I'll have to track those down eventually.

This one is also on the website. Do we have to print it and have them scan it?

Yes, you either need to print it or show it on your mobile device so the cashier can scan it

Yes I’ve bought Sobey’s cards and gone back in the store right away to shop and then use the card when I check out. The RCSS policy is 24 hours because that family of stories implemented it to combat a gift card fraud problem they were having. It’s the same at Zehrs and most if not all the Loblaws stores. Sobey’s is fine to use the card.

I'm really happy that you had great luck but also super sad that you waited so long to chase them down! If you follow along with the promo threads that i maintain you'll see when the miles are posting for others and you can do a chat right away!!! I had the same issue with one of my cards, some miles posted too early and one posted the day after the promo and had no problem getting them posted.
These miles posted mid October BTW

Don't get too concerned over the miles from the online shopping posting because as you learned with the last promo, AM is TERRIBLE with this and as a general rule, they are fully aware so they will credit the miles with little hassle once the date passes OR in the case of a big promo, once others have received their miles. The deadline for online shopping is 60 days for base miles & 75 days for bonus.

**ETA Personally I'm more concerned over the fact that Amazon chose to use Canada Post and my order has bounced around the country and has LONG since missed my promised Prime delivery date. It's currently going back and forth between the sorting facility in my city and the post office I'm picking it up at -- 3 days now -- and the last time this happened it ended up getting returned without any attempt to actually deliver it I need this as my 7th coupon, needed the items last week AND i can't afford to put together another $100 online order
