Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Pumpkin1172]

I gotta get my butt to Safeway and pick up a couple of the gift cards for AM. My score of AM this year so far is dismal. I know that I will spend money in Sephora and le Vie en Rose for myself or give the gift cards to the daughter for gifts. Gotta score the few Am they seem to have that I can take advantage of while I can. Hopefully Rexall has a good AM deal this weekend. We are going to the big city to visit is dd...so I might be able to squeeze in a shop there over the weekend

 

[Donald - my hero]

add us to the families who are seeing dismal hunting trips .. this is the primary card

This is the secondary card (and it's only this high because of the missing airmilesshop 203 miles i chased down last week -- yup all of them!)

It's rather frightening....the villas at the Poly are over $2500/night

Right ? There are resorts that have priced me right out in the last five years .. and this will be more expensive than any of them. It’s sad.

I've collected 1,424 on my card and DH has 1,045 so far this year! I'm not exactly sure how that has happened. It doesn't even feel like I've been collecting much.

I have 4582 this year which I am certainly pleased with, but 2000 is the BMO welcome bonus on our MC, since we met the spending limit over Christmas. DH's trips to Toronto are a big plus for us - He can get 600-800AM a trip, so most of the rest are from that. I feel like I've earned almost nothing on the stuff I do....I think one Sobey's Blue Friday was good, otherwise it's little bits here and there....shell is probably the next one with the extra 10 each fillup with the text promotion.

So far this year we've collected 4130 on our primary card and 223 on the second card.

C'mon STB - post so I feel better!

 

[Aladora]

I am at a whopping 899

Guess I had some good Blue Friday deals.

 

[Days In the Sun]

I'm at 2300, last year I was at 2800 (excluding STB) by the end of February so not too far off track.

I am not even brave enough to just check my status. I really need to step up! But Rexall offers have been quite disappointing lately and I don’t have a plan for a Disney trip yet. Drove DD back to university on Sunday and shopped at Sobeys for groceries. Still I forgot to buy some gift cards with bonus AM. My AM radar is not working properly. How could I miss it? Definitely would not want to drive 30 min to just get the gift cards in this weather now. I will wait till next time then.

 

[hdrolfe]

I haven't checked... waiting until after the StB posts so I feel better about it I have hardly gotten any this year!

 

[marchingstar]

I'm over 1500 for the year so far, which honestly surprises me. But between a decent Blue Friday and the missing miles from my StB online purchases, it's slowly adding up.

I've also earned around 65K PC Optimum points, thanks to this thread. I haven't decided how or when to use my points, but for now they're slowly building up.

Oh, I have really well with those points. $175 in points (175,000) turned into WDW gift cards and I am well on my way to my goal!

whoa, that's awesome. Good job!

 

[Silvermist999]

I’m at 691 so far this year. Mainly from our air miles credit cards. Trying to cut back on our spending so won’t see as much in the future months.

I’m also doing surprisingly well with PC Optimum the last few weeks, already “redeemed” for a few more Disney gift cards.

 

[ottawamom]

Congrats everyone. Off to a good start, now if StB would post we'd all have numbers to write home about. The waiting is killing me. Come on Airmiles post those miles. I'm not going to spend them. (really )

 

[dancin Disney style]

i think that’s for the bungalows, and i think disney is having a hard time selling those rooms. waaaaaay too expensive.

yes...the ones on the water. I was talking to someone about them last August when I was there and was told that people book them for one or two nights only. They are busy but hotels don't like that sort of high turn over. The labour costs are higher.

 

[marchingstar]

another crummy week at Safeway coming up!

no real complaints from me, though. I did a huge grocery shop at Costco last week, so our freezer and cupboards are pretty full. I don't expect I'll be at Safeway until the next Blue Friday.
