A lot of people seem to try to accumulate miles for disney tickets. I am hoping someone can help me understand. When I looked up the number of miles required for the tickets it seems that it costs about the same as the value if you just redeemed the airmiles for cash at the stores. Am I mistaken? Do people just like feeling like they aren't paying for the tickets? If someone could show me a real advantage fiscally I would like to refocus efforts to gaining more airmiles. thanks,
I bow down to those who collect weekly and can. My shopping habits are not that strict. But when big mistakes happen that is when I pounce. It started with Sobeys GC, there was a flaw at the start that allowed us to buy one with another one.
So some of us were able to have a $200GC bring us 4000+AM, then there was a poweraid promo.
Here they allowed us to buy3 for $5 and get 50AM. That equals a little more than $5. Bought a skid, yes a skid.
The latest was the pickle promo. Buy 3 jars for prices from1.99-3.99 and receive 75AM. Well relish was 1.99 so that = $6 and they were giving me back over $7.50 worth of AM. Yup full Skid again. The last 2 the food banks were very thankful for. And an unknown benefit that I was not counting on was the food bank gave us a tax receipt after showing them the bill that we paid for.
Combine this and the history of the tickets being the Can$ amount for what they would have been at the US$ amount, save the exchange and we are miles ahead.
Added bonus when you do collect that many is Onyx level. And the small perks that come with that. For 1 am(yes) each we were able to see Cirque 2 years, wine tours, movies , Canadas Wonderland tickets.
And with the great people on this link we tend to find these great 1AM promos quick and help each other out with them.(ottawamum, Donald, Bababera)
So you can collect smart and get great rewards for things that you do anyway, and reduce your cost down south.
Good Luck
