Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Don't forget that you have until 11:59:59 EST to snag a copy of your 2019 statement! Try not to pout too much when you look at your Gold/ONYX status tomorrow morning, it will be sad!

Go to your transaction page and toggle to View statements from the last 12 months
Then hit Print this page and save it to a PDF (unless you want to hang onto a massive pile of paper - - mine is 20 pages long!)

Thank you for the reminder AND the instructions. Saved and filed. Mine was 11 pages for 11 730 AM earned. I'll take that. But now....on to next year without the AMEX Reserve ie. I need to earn my Onyx!

@dancin Disney style I just did a Facebook chat (prefer this because i can keep doing other things and I'll get a notifcation when they respond unlike their online chat that disconnects if you switch to another tab!) to try and track down those bonus miles that seem to be lost in transit (see what i did there :P ) and here's the results
First response had me 🤬🤦‍♀️ guess i got connected to a by-the-book agent

I pointed out that this has nothing to do with the timeline and my miles are posting quickly, just not correctly. She was gone for a very long time (close to an hour!) so i guess she really did do some serious digging. Not surprised by the answer but like you, hubby's the main card holder so this will wait until next week, he's up to his ears in year-end book keeping!

I figured it was going to require a call to Amex. I just have no idea which department to call.

Happy New Year everyone! I'm a sucker for punishment and checked my Onyx status this morning. Low and behold I've earn 1 AM this morning. Does that count as off and running?
I had a nice surprise yesterday...Lowes posted 390 miles which was more than I expected. They used the sub total which was before the government rebate was taken off and also included the warranty purchase. So that means I will get an additional 140 miles from Amex. Also, having Lowes post before the end of the year means that I finish up with my best year to date. My previous best was 18,887 and this year 19,270. I was surprised because last week I thought I was going to come in about 200 short of my best year.

Question about insuring flights booked with miles.

We purchased insurance with Airmiles.ca at the time of booking our flights with miles for our last two cruises. If we don't book the insurance and only rely on our mastercard/private insurance, but we ended up cancelling, would we get ANY compensation for our flights if booked with miles?

Or would we be just out those miles? Would air miles let us rebook without any crazy penalties?

Any experiences or advice? I hate buying insurance when we have it already, but when we book a year out, anything can happen.

I had flights booked through AM that we canceled with no penalty. Now, it was because the airline changed flight times and that would get us to our cruise after it sailed. Not sure if that made a difference.

I believe only AirMiles insurance covers the miles. Private/credit card would only cover the $ spent and you’d be out the miles.
 
Just chatted with airmiles to get my account in order. Got the missing miles for the flu shot alert, the multipliers for mountain of miles, and an etsy shop where I never got my base miles for. She went ahead and also gave me the bonus miles for the Etsy shop, even though it hadn't been the 120 or whatever days yet. All in all it was only 85 total miles, but still worth getting it all straightened out. She didn't ask for any proof of anything, which made it all painless.

Now I'm just missing the airmilesshops Shop the Block promo, and an Amazon purchase from Black Friday.
 
Hi all,

I got gas this morning and found out that Shell is having the following offers over the next few months. I know that some of these have been reported already but I thought it might be helpful to have them all in one place. Feel free to correct anything below or add to the list!

1. Get at least 25L of fuel four times per month and get 2x the base miles and up to 50 bonus Air Miles.
2. Use your BMO Air Miles Mastercard and get 3 cents off per litre. Enrol your Air Miles number at this website: https://cloud.news.bmo.com/ShellOffer
3. Sobeys is giving out fuel savings coupons again (e.g. spend $100, get 5 cents off a litre)
4. Any personalized offers you get through your e-mails. These e-mails are enabled by accepting to receive notifications/e-mails through the Air Miles app. Examples we have received include: (a) a one-day, one Air Mile per litre up to 100 litres, or (b) get 25L of fuel three times per month and get 100 Air Miles.
5. Use the Shell EasyPay app (I still haven't figured out how - lol). If I remember correctly, when you download it and use it for the first time, you get bonus Air Miles.

1. Get at least 25L of fuel four times per month and get 2x the base miles and up to 50 bonus Air Miles. TIP: Put in 30L of gas instead of 25L, because the basic earn rate is 1 mile for every 15L.

I believe you will find it is 1 airmile only for 15 litres, and above. They changed it years ago in Ontario. Might be different in other provinces. I advise only putting in the 25 litres each time, it does not benefit you to pump more litres.

Shell Retail
http://www.shell.ca

You'll earn:

• 1 AIR MILES® reward mile on a minimum 15 litre fuel purchase in a single transaction*

and/or

• 1 AIR MILES® reward mile for every $10 purchased in-store in a single transaction**.

Also if you pump Shell VPower they are giving 10 times miles, and topping up to 100 airmiles with 4 fills per month.

Started 28 December 2019 and runs till the end of March 2020.

I did four VPower fills in December after the promo started so I will post when the top up air miles post to my account.

Good advice here. Thanks! I need to remember to check the Airmiles app! I <3 the 3¢ off, because that's what I always get with PetroCan and WestJet, so that's where I normally buy my gas. Just a note that this deal starts January 7.
Your 3¢ off begins in 5 days.

This special offer will be loaded to your AIR MILES Collector Card on January 7, 2020, and will be valid until March 31, 2020.

Does anyone know the fine print on this? 1 per collector? Or can I do 2 separate $30 transactions for 100 miles each?

EDIT: also what do folks think the possibility of a blue Friday before the Canadian promo ends? (I need about 900 more airmiles to get another discounted ticket with hopper at the promo price from the personal shopper lol)

You should be able to do more than one transaction. I was able to last time it was offered.

As for a blue Friday, the promotion is over Feb 7, given it takes at least a week to post them, you would need it to be before Jan 31. I'm not sure the usual schedule for that particular promo, I'm sure someone else keeps track and could perhaps help. There may also be a "double dip" on Rexall soon. I'm sure at least one or two before you would need it to post. Rexall at least posts very quickly!
