Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Anyone else doing the Thanksgiving shop at Sobeys offer? I just received an email saying that as of October 6 I had spent $58 and to keep on spending to get to my $200 goal.

Offer started September 26, I left on holiday Sept 27 and did not shop at Sobeys until I got back on October 6. My shop for October 6 was $117. I shopped on Thursday and spent $135 so I will get the bonus for the offer but this email has me questioning their tracking ability.

If you have received the update email, was the amount of spend to date correct (or close)? I know DH account with a BMO promotion was way out of whack (I will have to follow up after Oct 31).

This is mine and it is accurate,,,
A reminder of the details and how it works:​

Get 120 Bonus Miles when you spend $300, cumulatively, at Sobeys between now and October 13, 2019.*

As of October 6, 2019 you've spent $43.64 at Sobeys .​

My offer also started Sept 26 and I have not been spending much there lately,,except for a $200.00 Gift Card
that doesn't count towards the spend.

I received the Thanksgiving offer and activated it on September 26th. I have a screenshot showing that I did. Yet, I received a "reminder" e-mail about it today to opt in. Nothing about how much I have spent at Sobey's and I have been there twice (not including today) since then.

I went to Sobey's today. Spent $101.77 and earned 149 miles.
 
As far as Dream versus Cash miles, I debated about switching (I have always been dream). In the end I decided to keep my card on Dream and switched my husband's to Cash. I think that will work out well for us. I'm starting the saving all over again and this time we want to do an Alaska cruise. The last (and first) time we booked a cruise through Air Miles, the deposit & taxes had to be paid in cash and the rest through miles. So my Dream miles will pay for as much as the cruise as we are allowed, and the Cash miles set aside in our vacation account for the deposit, taxes and other items we need cash vacation related.

Glad I'm not the only one with wacky numbers. I'm going to photocopy my receipts in case I need to argue the point the Airmiles down the road. These offers are becoming a real pain. I like that they send out the reminder but please get it right.

My reminder said I had spent $161.98 as of Oct 6 which did not include my Oct 6 shop of about $137 and another small one of about $15. I need to spend $400 to get 160 AM. I’ll use the spend $100 get 100 AM this weekend to finish it off.
 
Thanks for the reply @cari12 . You've confirmed that the wacky total I got doesn't include my Oct 6 shop. These reminders of how you are doing are more anxiety inducing than helpful.

yeah, those reminder letters are stupid! I got one today telling me to keep getting gas at shell. 2 things wrong with that: we never get gas there and it gives my miles as of September 26th!

they also send those things out during the big promos and they are never right!
 
My Sobeys shop today
I picked up all my Sensodyne toothpaste (2x $3.99) and Colgate toothbrush sets (3 in a pack 2x$3.99)
buy 2 get 20 bonus airmiles,,good for my Christmas stockings.
Noticed the Tim Hortons Iced Capps buy 3x $2.49 get 20 bonus airmiles.( I usually freeze these).
Total airmiles 164

I have a small spend $50.00 get 50 airmiles at Metro and will probably pick up a few groceries there later today.

Have great Thanksgiving weekend Everyone!

Does anyone know the Air Miles posting schedule for IGA?
Most grocery stores post midweek for purchases made Sunday-Saturday. So if you shopped blue Friday they should appear this week. Should being the operative word here btw

Not sure if this is a glitch or not however I have a Disney gift card in Canadian funds for $20. I keep this so I can always find out what the going rate is on these. I just checked and my $20 cnd card is worth $18.94. That's an exchange rate of just under $1.06. Anyone thinking of using their cards for payments may want to check theirs out and maybe make that payment now. Since the rate is closer to $1.38 I'm sure its a glitch but one in our favor.

ETA--Just applied $300 US to our OBC for our upcoming cruise from a Cnd gift card. It cost me $355 Cnd. so the rate is now at just over $1.18. Still a great deal IMO.

ETA--Now it's back to normal, $1.3199 so it was a short lived glitch but a decent one.

We just came back from another Foodland run. We were out for a walk with the fluffy furry 4 legged one and I got a text from one of the guys at work said bring food we are having a pot luck tomorrow. Ugh there's days we don't get breaks if it's non stop and its a holiday so we are going to be busy so better get finger food stuff. Anyways spent another 79 dollars and got 63 miles. We are now about 300 miles short of getting gold again. I just looked at the Rexall 200 mile coupon and yelled back to my wife "Hey Thursday only and you have to spend 75 dollars on beauty and skin care products" and she yelled back "easily done!"
At this rate not only is our hotel covered but we will be gold again and our miles will be back to the comfort level by the time our cruise starts.
