IWell I am in protest mode with Rexall,,, at least until they start posting a threshold deal for me.
I also am fed up with the offers I am getting.
All my offers are things I just bought the week before,,,,,why would I have a need the very next week to buy them again?

Stupidstore did that with me. I stopped going there for a month and only went to Safeway. I started getting decent offers again from them. So far they haven't dwindled with the amount of points or $$$ amount to achieve the points. Which was happening for my regular items...an example...my boys's favorite muffins...they would price them at 4.98 then give me an offer of 100 points for every 5.00 i spent on the muffins :sad2:>:( It was frustrating for me. I did a couple weeks of shopping at Safeway...and Bang...good offers again.

I ordered my second AM Canadian ticket in July and it's showing December 31, 2030 on my MDE. It should have no expiration.

On the weekend through the Airmiles website, I ordered what was supposed to be a Non-Expiring 5-Day Child ticket. Unlike the previous 3 green voucher tickets I got when I redeemed in the summer, this was an actual hard copy ticket. When I entered into my account it is showing an expiry date of 2019-01-14.
Has anybody contacted Airmiles about this yet?
 
I just had the worst experience I have ever had with Rexall so I'm not totally happy with them right now either. If they screwed up my Load and Go miles I'm going to be doing some loud talking with them. My bill was so messed up they finally voided the whole thing and started over. Had to do several price fixes and there were 6 $1 off coupons attached to items that they had never keyed in. My bill was about $15 more than I thought it would be which is why I looked at my bill in the car before heading back in.
I'm getting the offers, they just need to understand how they work. At least when I left the cashier gave me extra Marvel things, I was there for over an hour getting my items corrected so I guess that's the least they could do. Their usually so good, but today............ :sad2:

THIS! all day long, THIS!!! I have gone from getting 11 offers plus my threshold spend to 6 stupid offers. Last week i had a spend $10 get 20 AM and decided it wasn't worth my while to make the trek to a store (either an hour on foot or wait till hubby's home so i have the car and then he wants to tag along and mess with my mojo) Last bunch included no-name hair growth (hubby took offense :P ), baby wipes (youngest is almost 29). This batch is a tad better -- I'll use at least one to get my bonus for using a loaded offer. I do need a few things so i can squeeze out one of the weekly sales.

****couple of side notes so i don't clutter the thread: My AMEX miles posted --900 SiM guessing they finally figured out the online shopping offers. Add to the regular monthly miles and we got 1006 SWEET, i just need to earn 125 more and we'll have enough for $1300 worth of certificates for Travel Agency!!!!

AND one last thing, how are those 50 AM cakes from Foodland? Worth making a trip that will take about 90 minutes????

I did the online chat the other day. They were going to have someone call me back about it as they were unsure. The agent told me Disney tickets don't expire, so I gave him the Disney Ticket Changes and Canadian Ticket 101. LOL. Anyways, I told him I wanted the Canadian Resident Non Expiring Child ticket that I ordered, which is still on their website, and if they no longer had them I wanted to return it and my airmiles back since I wouldn't be going prior to the expiry date.
 
Foodland Bakery cakes review:
Well I tried the white cake with a peach filling top--yucky--I gave one away.
Chocolate cake -cookies and cream,,,ok but nothing special.
I was hoping for a spice cake or banana cake but no luck.
IMHO not worth the money.
Ottawamom bought a couple maybe she had better luck.
Hugs Mel

P.S.
I finally got the airmiles from various surveys I've done over the last 6 months--maybe because I told chat I will no longer do Airmiles or Sponsor surveys because I never get the airmiles offered /promised.

They are good. Just had a slice of the Snickers one. They had Snickers, Cookies and Cream, Black Forest, Chocolate Fudge, White Cake, White Cake with Lemon topping, and a few others. Is 50AM worth the 90 min drive. Probably not. I think they would freeze well but my advice would be to save yourself the calories.

I still haven't got the one cake I have planned to get. I pass by Foodland on my way to see my mom anyways, so it's not a special trip. Yet DH has been driving me to see my mom lately and he frowns upon my AM Hunt. Hope I can go by myself tomorrow. I will get the Oreo one if it's available then bring it to work to reduce the calorie damage! Thanks for sharing the cake review!

We tried the Black forest one and we really liked it but we didn't like the lemon one.
It needed to have lemon in the layers and we didn't like the coconut taste on the outside.
The Black Forest one didn't register with air miles and the cashier that night didn't know how to fix it but we went back the next day and another cashier fixed it just fine.
So fine that I earned an extra 40 air miles as I had a spend $110 get 40 airmiles and the cashier just put in that I returned $1000 and spent $1000 to get my 50 air miles.
Bonus for me so basically my cake was free since I earned 40 more air miles but didn't spend any money for it.

This is me with the PC Plus offers....it seems that I get offers for items that I purchased the week before...I am also finding that since I applied for the PC World Elite Mastercard, my offers seem to be the same week after week...and don't even get me started about them not linking my PC Plus points card and my Mastercard, even though it was clearly on the application....

Agreed, they have no idea how tickets work. I spoke to somebody on the chat and he gave me a different 1-888 number than normal to speak to a manager. I explained to the guy on the phone how they worked and offered to send screenshots of the email confirmation of the ticket being added to my account and a screenshot of my Disney account. The difference in email confirmations are "05-Day Magic Your Way Base Ticket" vs "05-Day Magic Your Way Base Ticket - CAN Res Certificate" and the MDE screenshots show expiry dates of "2019-01-14" vs. "2030-12-31". I'm not sure how I can return the ticket since it is now linked to my account, but I am pushing for my Airmiles to be returned.
 
Question for anyone who has used the Travel Vouchers to pay for a vacation or cruise, do you need to have them all when you BOOK the trip? Or can i book it and then just keep trying to get more miles before the final payment is due?? If i can wait i might be able to shave another $100 off because if i book the trip soon-ish for an early January trip to Punta Cana, the final payment is due on Nov 25th and our next AMEX bill will have posted with the next SiM offer. IF i can wait i can turn it into 10 nights instead of 9.

Hi Hon
I have never used the e-vouchers and have a question too...
the terms and conditions say a max of $400.00 per person per booking? Is there any way around this--I guess maybe just booking a flight / cruise ?

Terms & Conditions
eVoucher must be printed and presented at a participating TravelPlus location at time of payment of travel products and services. Full value of the eVoucher must be used in a single transaction. Unused balances will have no stored value; eVouchers are one-time use only. eVoucher may not be returned, cancelled or exchanged for cash after it is issued. Ownership and risk of loss of eVoucher is transferred to the recipient of the eVoucher upon completion and processing of the order. Sales taxes that may be applicable to the items you purchase with this eVoucher will be calculated on prices before the eVoucher’s retail value is credited by TravelPlus. Unless otherwise stated by law, the eVouchers have no expiration date and no maintenance fees.

A maximum of $750 in eVouchers can be ordered per day across all participating Reward partners. Acceptance of TravelPlus eVoucher is capped at $400 per person, per booking. eVouchers may not be used for the payment of taxes, service fees, non-commissionable items, gift cards and insurance. If a booking is cancelled, any eVouchers used for the original travel purchase are non-refundable and non-transferable. eVouchers are applicable to new bookings only.
 
They've changed the survey to 10AM, not 25 listed anywhere now.

This week's Thrifty's Flyer isn't all that great.

I need another 1200AM for one more ticket before we go in December, and I'm sure I can do it (I have 7 weeks to get to my goal). It would be nice for another bonus miles event to happen soon though.
