Great, thank you. I didn't see it anywhere on Shell.ca. I was actually coming back to delete my post, didn't want anyone in a financial mess over something I posted.

so did not see it on the shell site, just on the fuel up for less site.

just went on reg shell site, under search I did fuel up for less, it came up.

I just tried the search based on your post. Thanks, seems more legit now. I'll be trying a giftcard or two this week as well.

Thanks....I fished around Redtag and never figured out how you got to the place that the link goes to. Turns out that Redtag give the most miles. I've booked the ticket and it got me 195 miles plus what I get from Amex. I would have gotten less than half that amount going through airmilesshop. It makes me a tab nervous booking through a third party...I'm used to booking online but always direct with the airline etc.

So now DH will be overseas for 2 weeks in November and I will have 15 glorious nights of silence. He asked me if I minded him being gone so long and was not amused when I said I was going to have the best 2 weeks of sleep and did he want to double down for 4 weeks.

It's actually on the Airmiles website, hiding on the Rewards page under Travel Specials. It's NOT easy to find!!

I understand the sleeping arrangements ... i HATE hate HATE being touched when i sleep and good grief, hubby is a noisy, restless sleeper! You'll miss him but being able to stretch out and sleep when & how you want will be awesome!

It seems to have been tested and validated on the Red Flag Deals site. There is a thread that is 109 pages long that grew over the last week of the promo. People were going in and buying such huge amounts of gift cards and the latest news on that thread is that Shell is going to impose a $300 per day limit on gift card sales. It's an interesting thread - worth reading.

It’s a big NOPE for Blue Friday this week. Even Rexall seems to be a bust.

Thanks, sounds like this promo might not last long.

They really lowered the air miles this time... I would max out on these every time. It was one of my biggest miles earners.

Me too . I won’t be committing to shopping in their stores for that amount.

So with the Shell GC MC deal. If Shell doesnt have the Disney cards, do you think if you grab some from another store, can they be bought and validated at Shell. Does this make sense? It would be a big deal change if possible.
I dont know how the validating of GC goes how they activate them, if anyone here does please chime in.

yes they have to be activated at the store you buy them at.

I was really hoping for a blue Friday to get to my Sobey's cumulative spend offer. And gift cards dont count, so I'm probably saying goodbye to those 160AM. Bah.

 

[mort1331]

sorry I knew I wasnt clear. If I just grab some cards say at shoppers, dont buy them or activate them. Can I go to a shell and buy and activate there

As they are similar in airmiles flyers prices

After not being around for a long time, I need to try to get back into the airmiles train. We have a trip planned for beginning of 2021, so I'm hoping to have enough miles to buy at least one ticket with miles. Problem is, Northern Ontario seems to be an airmiles dead zone. We used all the miles I had for tickets to Disneyland, so we have a long way to go.

I did find out yesterday that the Shell near my house is full service, for the same price as the other stations, so will definitely be taking advantage of that this winter!
