Oh Boy
Whew I am back.
Ok nice Manager,,reviewed my multiple receipts and was sure I was trying to use an old card,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Then she discovered the cashier had activated one of the other cards twice ---after looking at my bank statement,,,,,
They were going to try and activate the card to which I said NO.......................
They got a fresh new one and activated it for 150.00.
So all is well.

So did the coupon work now or did you just get the 75AMs mentioned in the flyer plus a likely call to AM later like the rest of us?

Oh - it was brought up on the other thread that all you need to do is buy the $75 GC. It won't say shop the block or need the coupon. Just save your receipts.

I like this better in a way. I believe it means we get the 75AM in the flyer, and also the 75AM on the STB website.

I think it’s the other way round. Without the coupon, we get the flyer bonus as STB bonus. No double dipping this time!

Unfortunately @AngelDisney is correct, I'm pretty sure Sobey's would like to put Airmiles in front of a firing squad for this epic fail on their part. There was never meant to be a bar code on the back of the coupon, it was meant to be a "reminder" to use the flyer offer. I bet they were out a LOT of "airmiles" last year when they ended up needing to honour the terms of the coupon -- not sure exactly how much they pay Airmiles for the "privilege" of being a sponsor but to be forced to pay for a promo they weren't planning on probably irked a few people!

So we will only get the 75 AM per gift card purchased and the allowable number to buy is what the flyer quotes.

Just a heads up - the flyer has the 6x710ml pack Coke products on for $2.99 (Pepsi too but only Coke applies here)

At Sobeys Terry Fox if you buy 4 then you also get 50AM. This works out to a very good deal. I used this combined with the spend 100 get 100AM STB and then paid the whole thing on a gc I bought for the 150AM offer

Ended up in Toronto today, so I finished up my STB items, Was near city hall so wandered over to the AirMiiles booth to get the free socks and got the $100 HBC card too.

Made my day, I never win anything.

After recording miles earned today at groceries and gas, I took a look at all my outstanding miles-owing receipts and boy oh boy, I have a lot of them on the go right now. Some of them have multiple offers attached to them as well, so while one part posts, I have to keep it for another 4-6 weeks! ugh. PLUS, the never-posting BMO 3/$10 = 500 miles offer and others from that time period. Hopefully I can get them all posted and caught up on December 31st (90 days from promo). It's getting ridiculous...

I don't suppose any Electricians/Electrical companies give out air miles eh? Probably not. We have a large electrical bill our way next week or so. In the meantime, we cannot use our oven or stovetop!

Yesterday we discovered each time we turn on the oven the fuse box goes a little haywire... As in a brief buzzing/sizzling noise accompanied by a sparkling/flashing light show.

So now we are waiting for an Electrician and most likely need to convert to a breaker system sooner than we expected.

At least we have an electric rotassiarie, crockpot and BBQ. Tonight hubby's cooking tonight's dinner on the BBQ while putting a chicken on the rotassiarie for a cold chicken meal of some kind tomorrow. I need to figure out a crockpot recipe for Tuesday. I think we're eating dinner at my Dad's on Wednesday. Too bad I can't use the stove top. It's suppose to be on a separate circuit than the oven, but unless we test it out (which I really don't want to do) we have no way of knowing with an Electrician over to check it out.

This is where maybe hubby should have become an Electrician instead of a Electronic Technician. LOL

Ah Hon so sorry to hear of your electrical problems. I changed over my fuse electrical panel in my old condo to breakers a few years ago due to the same problem and I can tell you I slept much better at night after doing this.(The arching and sparking scared me to death).
I don't know of anyone that gives airmiles but what I did when I did my recent reno was pay the company via my WestJet Mastercard which boosted my WestJet dollars nicely.
Just wondering if you paid the Electrician via a BMO mastercard would you get Airmiles?
Hugs to you
