Good grief, just got this offer as well but we have to fill up THREE times ... remember the new car?? A FIT that came with a full tank ... we *might* fill up a total of 3 times in a normal month and it only holds 40 L this is NOT happening for us

The one we got was to fill up FOUR times in a month. Ok, we have 2 cars, but still...sheesh!

ok, about Shell, we've NEVER not once filled up there with either card, hubby doesn't like the gas (don't ask me why, why fight that?!?!) and it's hard to get to anyway. We went there ONCE during the MM LAST year to get some propane because nothing else was open when it just ran out and only had the one card then. This offer came for the new card only ... and 3 fill-ups?? What a stupid offer for a card that has never been used there!

OH well, on a really exciting note look what came this morning!!!! (and no i did NOT intentionally place my tea mug & refillable mug in the picture, honest ) I only ordered this on MONDAY! Sad thing is i Literally have no flour in the house so i can't take it for a test drive

Awesome, looks like you're going to have fun!

How do you do this?

Safeway/Sobey's has "Blue Friday" out west every 4-5 weeks (generally). It's a good time to extra air miles, but only worth it if you're going to use what you buy. When I say 'out west', it's my understanding that BC, AB, SK, MB and Thunder Bay are included on Blue Friday.

Where do you live? They're starting to do some limited offers in eastern Canada, and this thread is a good source for that.

I have a loaded offer (Sobeys/Foodland) for the Maple Leaf prime chicken burgers, strips or nuggets (frozen, 750 g) -> same ones in the Foodland flyer. 15 bonus miles.

The flyers says purchase 2 and get 50 bonus miles. Will I also get 30 bonus miles (15 app bonus miles x 2 boxes), or just 15 bonus miles?

 

[Donald - my hero]

Are Maple Leaf and Schneiders the same company when it comes to loaded offers. I have a loaded offer for Schneiders Country Naturals burgers which in the Foodland flyer are referred to as Maple Leaf Country Naturals. The items pictured are the same (one is Angus burger the other is regular but I'm not worried about that aspect). If they treat them the same then I can get a few extra AM purchasing them.

Yes, you *should* get the loaded offer for the burgers as well because they are the same company. You'll only get this bonus ONCE though so just the 15 miles on top of the 50 from the flyer, offers loaded to your card are once & done.

MA. So it doesn't work for me. Thanks though

You're in Massachusetts? Air Miles is Canadian.

 

[disneybound08]

My Onyx card showed up in the mail today....it looks very similar to my BMO Air Miles card actually.

Haha I totally agree, I may have accidentally tried to pay with my airmiles once because I thought it was my credit card

Ooopsie -- that's what i get for having 4 tabs open when i do the updates -- 1 with the first post, one with the new post I'm making, one with the flyers and one to double check what offers have already been mentioned . I fixed it up now, thanks for the heads-up!!

 

[isabellea]

Tomorrow is my day off and I think I will drive to Foodland for the first time since November. Offers haven't been good enough for me to do the 1h drive to ON (2h total of driving). I was thinking of bringing all our ice packs and an isotherm bag to buy the frozen offers for 50AM. I wonder which ones will keep frozen the longest? Any suggestion?

Very nice! Let us know how you like it! I’d like to get one of those via AM one day, after my 2019 Trip Miles are all squared away

I am forever getting the danged thing mixed up with my SCENE card ... plunk the AM card on the table at Fionn MacCools or push it across the counter at Harveys and the staff get really confused OR try to use my Scene card at Rexall and the cashier doesn't know what to do with it

Do you have a cooler. That would be ideal. If not, pack a box of meat in a towel with an ice pack then put that in the insulated bag. Make as many parcels as needed. They should all make it back home without thawing. Another thought, you could pick up one of those styrofoam coolers (I've seen them in the local Dollaramas) and use that with your ice packs.

Last summer I brought frozen soup from St. Jacobs to Ottawa (mid summer) in a cooler packed with ice. It was still frozen solid when we got it home.

 

[bababear_50]

I'm also planning to head to Foodland tomorrow--taking the day off.
It is about a 1/2 hour drive to the closest Foodland for me and I use a cooler bag which keeps everything frozen.
We are celebrating a couple of Birthdays this weekend so I am planning on getting some of the hamburgers and hotdogs.
I have a "My Offers" targeted offer for the Prime Chicken (20 bonus) airmiles that I loaded.
Here is a link for anyone that is new to "My Offers"
https://getmyoffers.ca/#/

Happy shopping everyone.

I picked up a few things I need at Rexall today.........................
Epsom salts----I have no idea why it works ,,,,,,,,,,,but it has been very helpful in controlling my eczema and psoriasis,,(knock on wood).
I spent $42.00 and picked up 125 airmiles. 60 from Load N Go and 60 from email coupon and an extra 5 from the Epsom salts.
Hugs Mel

Just sharing
I cashed in some Dream airmiles for a Bella Black Pearl bracelet for my granddaughter two days ago.
She is graduating grade 8 this June.
Airmiles super fast delivery today!
I hope she likes them.

Hugs Mel

My targeted offers this week at both Sobeys and Metro are pretty lame!! Hope I can get some pizza & some Haagen Dazs at Metro tonight then I'll be pretty much set.
