MEGA off-topic here gang!

My question either got lost with my flyer update post yesterday or no one has any suggestions.
If money wasn't a consideration what's one place you would like to eat? Mom gave us gift cards for both our anniversary AND our birthdays (Nov 10th, 23rd & 25th respectively in case anyone cares ) so either going towards a nice meal OR some sweet souvenirs. No park locations and it should be a Disney owned location (meaning no DS or the Swolphin) because of my dietary restrictions. Only thing I'd say no to is Vic & Als --she didn't give us THAT much

So there are some DS |Disney owned. But yes Hoop D if you have never done. Sanna is a great location and food. If its due to the GCs then I am pretty sure all DS take the cards, but easy to find out for sure. Then your options open up greatly.

What I did was went to July posting in my airmiles and copied and pasted the airmiles shops right into the CHAT conversation.

Part of the problem was that my third shop had not posted properly. I had it corrected in early Nov and the person who took care of that offered to forward all the info to the correct office to show that I had made the proper purchases to ensure that it counted for the promo. That interaction was SUPER easy...great guy to deal with. Then enters ‘Marie’ who I have to explain it all to again. Fine, but she disbelieves my story and I have to repeat things several times. She then wants to see my receipts, transaction records And AGAIN wants the dates, times and amounts. The same ones that are all on the receipts. So I copy and paste it all. Then she leaves me on hold for about 5 minutes and in that time the chat disconnected...I suppose for inactivity. When she finally comes back she all Miss Marie sunshine and gives the old ‘I’m doing you a favour’ type thing.

At least it’s now done.

So I just live chatted with Air Miles and was told they can't award any missing points this week and have been told to wait until next Thursday to make sure that points aren't double posted. I said that is dumb (in nice terms) as I said I really don't think anybody is going to go back and check and say oops we made a mistake we better fix this person account but she was adamant so I will wait for next week. She is of the mind that my missing 250 air miles will appear in my account. We will wait and see.

Sorry this happened to you,,this time around I am keeping ALL of my receipts and coupons for STB,,I have a feeling I am going to be chasing them down and I haven't even got my Christmas In July yet so that's another Chat probably this week.
Ahhh Airmiles does need to code and input their stuff better.
I will definitely *accidentally* disconnect if I see the name Marie.,,lol.
Hugs to you

I call bull crap on that! I have none posted yet and you can bet I'll be on chat as soon as i get functional on Tuesday because Monday Nov 25th is 120 day mark -- they NEED to post by that day or we're allowed to chase them down. They need to figure out a different process for tracking these promos ! Irks me that we need to do their job for them

Yeah i have one that didn't post properly as well but i KNEW i would still end up needing to track down the correct final bonus because there is zero way for them to connect any "missing miles" to an ongoing promo. I gave up tackling them more than once because it's just a waste of my time .. they can say whatever they want when they give us the extra miles (scratch that, the miles we DESERVE because we earned them, they are NOT extra!) it doesn't get into the right spot to get caught by whatever obscure algorithm IT has set up for tracking.

Yup I was none too happy and I basically told her that but she wouldn't budge so nothing I can do. When I first saw my bonus miles I thought oh I thought I should have gotten 300 so I checked my notes and realized that I had done both Amazon and Chapters which were the same category and I went oopsie my bad. But then I checked my other email account and realized that I had done Staples as well as Chapters and The source so I do deserve the 300 miles. I went back to my airmiles account and I do have points posted from all three stores so not sure why I didn't get the 300 miles.
Yes for darn tooting I will be chatting on Tuesday then to get my missing miles.

My current favourite would be Boma at AKL but it's buffet and that might not be what you are looking for. If it was just dh and I, I'd likely pick Jiko, also AKL, but have never been there. Also love Cali Grill, been there a few times over the years.

Citrico’s in the GF.

top of my “to try” list this time is Homecoming in Disney Springs.
You could do a night at the Poly. Dinner at Kona Cafe and fireworks on the beach after (with a dole whip if that fits your food restrictions).Or La Hacienda de San Angel if you like mexican. Book a table about 2 hours before the fireworks and request a window table. You might get lucky and have a view, and they pipe the music in so it’s really nice.
also, happy birthday happy birthday happy anniversary!

So no parks, no DS and no Swolphin...that doesn't leave much. It really depends on what kind of food you like. Already mentioned, and I agree are good, California Grill and Citrico's. If you like BBQ and want something fun and a little crazy...Whispering Canyon. Hard to get but Ohana is also good. Quiet and quaint...Grand Floridian Café. If you like steak houses....Yachtsman. You said no Swolphin but....Shula's is great. If you would like a dinner show...Hoop Dee Doo Revue is AWESOME and the food is very good. You could also do the Luau at the Poly which is good but not nearly as good as Hoop Dee Doo.

So there are some DS |Disney owned. But yes Hoop D if you have never done. Sanna is a great location and food. If its due to the GCs then I am pretty sure all DS take the cards, but easy to find out for sure. Then your options open up greatly.

AWESOME suggestions gang! I guess i didn't make myself clear about WHY they need to be Disney owned - they have a dedicated allergy protocol that needs to be followed when dealing with special dietary restrictions but it only applies to restaurants that they own and manage. My diet is extremely limited and difficult to handle but if i contact Disney with a list of restaurants they will have the chefs in turn contact me.
Places I've been considering are Sanna -- but not sure it's worth it since i can't have any spices or seasonings other than salt. Citrico's - but I'd need to look at getting a call from their for sure! menu looks rather specialized. California Grill - yeah , i should have made that reservation months ago -- nothing earlier than 9:30 for the entire 3 weeks . I've heard good things from the allergy community about Whispering Canyon, but again .. spices? Jiko? That's a new one to me! Haven't even looked at it yet!

I've been holding a spot for the new restaurant that will be opening in EPCOT --Space 220 but just learned it's not Disney owned

Blue Friday question. Will Sobeys have chicken wings available in the morning, or will I need to wait until the afternoon for them?

I was on the chat about 1/2 hour ago and they posted my missing miles right away, nothing about waiting till next week. That's ridiculous.

I would choose Saana, but I haven't tried any of the really expensive places.

We've also eaten at Boma and Yatchsman and liked both, but I would choose Saana over either of them.

Hoop De Doo was fun once. It appeals to my son's sense of humour, so it was worth it just to watch him. I wouldn't go for the food though.
