Shop the Block 2019 -Bonus miles are POSTING NOW!

Those who had done Ms.Fresh , how long till the 500 am post?

I started the Megamiles promotion on April 6th. Not sure what day I ordered Miss Fresh but 500 miles showed up in my account on April 20th.

I've done the Shell opt-in twice in other promos. Although they don't show up right away, they have worked both times.

Did anything show on the receipt? I opted in and am concerned as there’s no indication on the receipt and the bonus miles haven’t posted yet.

Indigo split my purchases too. Nothing showing up on airmilesshops but I have to wait til the time is up to complain. They (Indigo and Air Miles) need to come up with a better system for the shopping portal. The existing one is a total crapshoot - you never know what will happen and you're left with no proof unless you record yourself shopping.

Part of the problem too is the requirement for a $100 spend for these promos. It used to be 3 shops of at least $20. Less chance of a split order with a smaller $ amount.

How can I avoid Amazon splitting my order? Would ordering items shipped by Amazon work? I only have one item that’s both sold and shipped by Amazon and it’s under $100. I am trying to add items to make the purchase over $100. But I can’t find anything else I want that’s both sold and shipped by Amazon. I remember vaguely that there’s a shipping option to have all items shipped together. Do they still have this option now? I need to think of a backup shop for this STB. Or just order what I want under $100 and do a Sobeys Urban Fresh shop instead!

No, nothing ever showed on the receipt.

You can still do it the Amazon shop, just be prepared that you are going to have to contact Air Miles when the promo points show up and show them your receipt to prove your purchase of over $100.

not sure how to avoid it but as you get through the process you can see how they are splitting your order before you submit it, they group the items by delivery date when you get to that stage.

So at Sobeys for the BMO $350/$700 offer, I can buy Cineplex gift cards as part of my $350?

BMO doesn't care what you purchase so long as you spend $700 at participating retailers.

Ok, this is the first time I've bought a Chapters gift card online, got all the bonus points, woo for that 250$ giftcard that I emailed myself (why thank you Santa!) Now can I use that gift card at Chapters to purchase another smaller denomination gift card to send to someone else? Would I still get the multipliers on that new giftcard? Or can you not pay for a chapters gift card with another giftcard? Sorry, edited to say would I get the multipliers through airmilesshops for buying another online gift card.

You can't use their gift cards to purchase another of their gift cards

Correct, all credit card companies assign codes to different types of merchants and beyond that they neither care nor can they tell what you purchase! BTW you can spend either the $350/$700 so you're both right

Do you think that 2x pumpernickel bread bowl with 2x spinach dips would work,,wondering if anyone has ordered something special/different that is not on their menu?
Thanks Mel

This question has gone unanswered , sorry Mel, but YES it should work because that item IS on the website -- take a look right HERE

You'll still need to make sure you hit the $25 mark for the coupon to work AND don't forget it says
• Payment is due in-store at the time of pickup.
Others have mentioned that they will charge you whatever the current price in the flyer is so if those dang things are on sale you might end up not hitting the mark.

I am pretty sure it is on the airmileshops site @Pumpkin1172, so it should work. I’ve ordered from them recently. Just wanted to add, use your BMO MC if you’ve opted in to that offer, you can hit three birds!

This has been very problematic in the past -- Mastercard insisted that only purchases made in a brick & mortar store where you are able to scan your airmiles card AND pay with your Mastercard will count towards this offer. I wouldn't want to risk having a coupon not completed in this way.

Super confusing extra twist this time is a special offer from MC and Amazon ---this is SEPARATE from the STB offer but it did give us the warning for this weekend's 20X promo

if you haven't opted in yet you can use THIS LINK

It has been the same for the last 2 promos that had this as an option for the Shell gas coupon - nothing will show on your receipt, the bonus miles won't post to your account at the same time as the base miles but they WILL post in a few weeks-ish . You can either just wait until you see them pop up or simply head in and pay in the store next time you fill up!

Side note: A small fries is always $1.99

Apparently for Christmas dinner this year I have to take the salad. We are not having a turkey dinner so I think I can get salad through metro for the STB coupon... do I have to order that in advance or just pick it up there? I want to take the biggest salad possible and possible get some of those wedge fries for home to get to the $$ amount.
