WDW tickets that you get from Airmiles do not expire. I have 4 stashed away for a trip in 2018.

Thanks! So this will be my goal! Whoo hoo!

And this is a great reason to cash in as soon as you have enough points for even one ticket, I prefer a 5 day. This way if they raise the AM cost per ticket again, then all the tickets wont be affected, just the ones you have not cashed in yet.

I just wanted to thank you all. In one day I got 120 AM and I'm pretty proud of myself. If I can keep this up I'll be getting some tickets soon! Who hoo!

Yes! I got screwed once saving for a ticket when the price was lower. I almost had enough for one when the AM cost was raised. For our next trip, I've cashed in for 2, and am feverishly saving for a 3rd.

I already have the coupon for Rexall for next week --- it's better than the flyer! Spend $40.00 get 60 AM I'm not seeing much in the flyer this week though so I'm not sure I'll be using it.

I really should open all my e-mail at once --- here's another coupon for Rona this time. Not terrific but it does meet my criteria of "would i buy it even without the Airmiles?" I don't need to do renovs right now but it if did, perfect!

AND i also just got my September email with what i think is another easy-peasy if you go to an Open House with Century 21 you get entered into a contest to win 10,000 AM. Not as good as a free hearing check scoring us 300 BUT we are actually in the market right now!

Just checked the Sobey's west flyer and, sadly, the spend $150 get 195 miles is gone. We have had that promotion faithfully all summer and I am disappointed it is gone. The spend $100 get 95 miles is there, but I am still disappointed.

I finally got 100 bonus AM that were owed to me since April applied yesterday! At the end of the month, I'll have to fill out another missing miles form for 50 from NSLC - they are the worst at applying bonus miles. I think they just lure people in to make purchases, then don't bother filling the air miles offers.

Thank you. I don't have a Rexall near me, but I need cold and sinus medications, and Check Out 51 has Secret on, so that will add some, too. That adds up quickly. I'll have to figure out if the Optimum points at Shoppers are better or the 60 AM.....who am I kidding? AM for the win. My car is moving along nicely.

I was also thinking of the cold and sinus medication but thought naw I'll wait--everytime I do that I end up sick and am stuck with no medication.
I need to add this to the list.

Well, the reason I thought of it is.....I've been suffering for a couple of days already.

I'm hoping you're both planning on buying reactine/beandryl because those 2 products are included in an extra special "spend$25.00 or more on some J & J products and get 25 AM" Those are both 19.99, chuck in some bandages and polysporin or mouthwash ... and you've made that PLUS you've almost made the $40.00 mark! It's actually a fairly decent flyer but my medicine cabinet is FULL!

Sobey's flyer for me this week ... SQUEEEE pretty awesome!

So last night squeezed in 4 Marks GC for 280AM, then went and purchased 4 new work shirts, buy one get one 50% off. Then this morning hand receipt into boss and get 50% back as part of work wear..Nice all around.

I know it was posted on another link, but check out the new Canadian deal for tickets right on Disney's website. Might have to reassign my AM to other things.

Way to Work the system (see what i did there ) I tried to convince my hubby that we needed 2 GC to be able to afford the jeans he wanted (BOGO 50% PLUS enough Scene points for 2 movies) but his comment was "I don't want so much tied up in GC" comment at the till? Sheepish grin and "oops should have picked up 2 after-all i guess"

I'm hoping that a RO discount comes out for our kids so we can use this -- OR even better if they offer a complete package discount for us Canucks that they can take advantage of! This gives me a bit of hope. Not sure if it will change my focus of AM or not but it does give pause for thought!

Using the Airmiles (one's we got such great deals on) is still a huge cash outflow saving. Not having to fork out $1500US (5 tickets) is still my preferred choice. For those who were looking to pay cash anyway this is a nice bonus.

Just saw this posted on Yahoo. Class action lawsuit against our beloved Airmiles.

https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/class-action-lawsuit-filed-against-090000464.html

These people just need to find this thread to find out that yes you can redeem your AM. My in-laws have successfully spent all theirs (after I nagged them to death to do so). Glad to know none of us here have this problem of finding something to use our AM on.

Well boo-hoo, cry me a river! They obviously didn't pay attention to all of the information that I WAS ABLE to see within weeks of the announcement regarding the "new expiry" I've been aware of this since it was first announced and it never bothered me -- found it quite humorous when Aeroplan then rescinded their expiry date hoping to lure back customers. I do however, agree with the point about not being able to see all the rewards that are available .. everyone should be able to see and select EVERY.SINGLE.REWARD. If they have the miles, let 'em have the stupid products!!

I've worked the system since Metro first joined --- been to Disney 3 (or is it 4) times now, several flights out west, hotels across the country, car rentals, Christmas presents one year hubby lost his job and we had NOTHING, movies, gas coupons ... the list goes on. Must admit since i started this thread and you all joined in the game, we've earned at an astonishing rate. OH yeah, and i now have a standing request for Avocado Brownies that we all thought we'd hate
