Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Donald - my hero]

Just found this little gem! There are also several stores that have their own multipliers so be sure to make note of that info when you order something to make sure you get all you deserve if (come on, we all know WHEN) you need to chase them down.


Here's a direct link to the stores with the bonus offers

What?! I JUST placed an order with the bay on AM shops and I didn't see that! ugh

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Or is the 15x applied automatically?

 

[Donald - my hero]

You're ok, from the terms I shared .. the time period is from 00:00:01 TODAY. So you will get the 15X PLUS HBC has a 2X to go with their BayDay sale

ETA, PLUS you'll get whatever miles your HBC points convert to, great time to shop with them (currently working on an order myself)

 

[Donald - my hero]

OK, one more thing to add to the above info -- I'm currently watching a pillow i want that's on sale at the Bay for $132 and hoping for the Bay to add on their sale for using my HBC card (usually an extra 20%) OR if that doesn't happen i will order it thru the Linen Chest and take advantage of their price match guarantee (they take an extra 10% off). I peeked at the Linen Chest site and found this info on the home page

With the fine print:
Get 5 reward miles® for every $20 you spend online per transaction excluding shipping, handling and taxes. Not applicable on the purchase of gift cards. Offer subject to change and may be withdrawn without notice at any time. Collector must sign in at airmilesshop.ca before purchasing in order to earn reward miles. Reward miles will appear in your Collector Account within 75 days. To collect AIR MILES® reward miles you must be a Canadian resident.


On the Airmileshop site they are listed as having only 3X -- they also have a one day free shipping event today

***ETA the airmiles site has now updated to show the 5X as well

I was afraid this would happen! I just made a purchase over the weekend. It was out of stock few weeks ago so I grabbed it when it’s available again! 6 AM vs. 90 AM!!

I've been known to return something and re-order it to get extra miles .... Places where i can take it back in-store and not pay shipping ONLY, not somewhere like Amazon. HBC is great since their return policy is very liberal if you use their credit card & Marks has a 100 day return policy as well.

 

[dancin Disney style]

Ok which credit card gives you one free checked bag on westjet - the westjet WO MC card, or the airmiles WO BMO MC card?

That would the WestJet card.

But the item is only available online!

 

[AngelDisney]

Can I still get AM for buying Amazon GC at Shell? Trying to maximize the airmillesshop bonus offer to make up for the loss of 84 AM!

 

[Donald - my hero]

Which retailer and when? If it's Amazon and it hasn't shown as shipped you can cancel the order (one of my kids has even been as bold as to add enough to the free shipping threshold and then go in and cancel what they don't want and STILL get free shipping )

Only at certain Shell locations until May 6. https://www.shell.ca/en_ca/motorist...e7ce7147addbe4b/shell-locations-full-list.pdf

Ok, so to clarify. If I buy something from say Dyson where it says 5 times the miles and combine it with the 15 times the miles. How many miles would I get per $20 spent?

 

[Days In the Sun]

Ok, so to clarify. If I buy something from say Dyson where it says 5 times the miles and combine it with the 15 times the miles. How many miles would I get per $20 spent?

1 am (base mile) + 4 am (5x for dyson) + 14 am (15x airmileshops promo) = 19am per $20. So about 10% back.

 

[Silvermist999]

Ugh! I placed something like 6 orders via airmilesshops.ca in the past 5 days, with no multipliers. Today they start a 15x promo?!? I don't have anything else left to buy!!

 

[osully]

Hoping for some great offers this week! Gotta work on that 5-10,000 more AM I will need for Nov 2019 Trip! I think I’m favouring the Doubletree @ Disney Springs now.

Just got our new ONYX cards in the mail and the *slightly less* wasteful trappings that come along with them. Card doesn't have an expiry date printed on it this time but rather the date we joined. I must say though, we all need to step up our game if we want to meet the prowess of THIS collector...
