Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Sadly no, you can't get the AM added after the fact without some "un-shopping" Depending on how bold you are you could simply plunk the stuff down, return it and then pay for it again. (that would be a transaction my hubby would hide in the car for!)

I would totally go in and ask to do a 'refund and repurchase'. They are also having a 15% off everything sale this weekend. So you would get the 15% PLUS add the AM coupon.

I've done refund/repurchase a million times at The Bay. They certainly don't care.

Stop in at Shell first and see if there are any gift cards that you can purchase to use on the other purchase you plan to make. Even cards you can use at home. Any instore purchases at Shell earn 7X the miles. Example : $100 Sobeys card earns 75 miles....then use to pay for your groceries

You are only allowed a maximum of 5 transactions per day at Shell. Each transaction is limited to a maximum of $100.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will stop first at Shell to get the Sobey's GC and I will try to find some GC I can use as end-of-year gift to teachers.

There are no coupons that work at Rexall on the weekend, but make sure you have a copy of the coupon from the Mega Miles promotion, you should check the page for Ontario and see if any of the other offers would work, maybe the LCBO?
Mega Miles coupons, choose Ontario
Rexall's big bonus this weekend is valid on Sunday only, However, there is no reason you can't do multiple sales that total $25.00 so you can use the MM coupon several times. Just watch the cash to see when your pre-tax sale is over $25.00 and stop, pay for it and then start another one. There are lots of their own brands items that have bonus miles this week, some of the snack items are quite good! Wander the aisles and see what you might like to try!

Have a great visit and Bonne chance à la chasse

Merci! I just printed the MM coupons for Rexall and Shell. At Rexall I will definitely look at the snack items for our road trip to FL in less than 2 months. I also took photos of the LCBO offers. We were thinking of stopping at LCBO anyway to get some of our favourite wines from Sandbanks. I will just add the port and red wine to our list! Quick question, I received today some load and go offers from Sobey's. I guess I registered last summer when we spent a week at Sandbanks and never removed my e-mail address from their mailing list. Are those good at any Sobey's or only at the one that sent me the offers (Picton, ON)?

I'll let you know how my hunt went when I will be back!

Make sure you load to those offers to your card (pretty simple just click on each offer and load them) and they will work in any Sobeys or Foodland store. They are a once & done offer. Have fun!

isabellea, are you coming for race weekend? If not be aware that traveling around the core of Ottawa may be challenging with road closures.

Shopping at Sobeys and Rexall I would suggest the Sobeys in Barrhaven on Greenbank Rd. There is also a Rexall just down the street. The Sobeys has snack bars on this week buy 2 @2.49 get 20AM. I was there yesterday and they also had St. Hubert soups $2.49 buy 3 get 25AM. Those were the best non perishable deals I found. Have a great weekend in the city.

I just wanted to add that when you shop at Sobey's or Foodland, be sure to walk the aisles, eyes peeled for that blue and white price card. I've found many an AM deal that way!

Update - I talked to DH - he said the cashier scanned a Mega Miles coupon and he was re-assured the points will post, because they don't show on the receipt. In fact none of the usual AM math is on the receipt, it just says (xxxx) x 1 Air Miles so I am hoping that's the promo code and it will sort itself out in a few days? I am glad he is paying more attention to these promos than he used to - I guess Disney is a fairly good motivator!

How long is the shell 7x in store on for? Do you need a coupon? I don't see this offer on air miles website?

Can you clarify this for me. If I buy a gc for $100 and get gas for $50 do I only get AM on $100?

 

[AngelDisney]

Can you clarify this for me. If I buy a gc for $100 and get gas for $50 do I only get AM on $100?

I think the answer could be yes. It's better to break it into two transactions. I didn't know about the $100 per transaction limit and only got 70AM for $150 worth of GCs.

 

[Mickey&JoshNut]

Thank you for the suggestion. I will stop first at Shell to get the Sobey's GC and I will try to find some GC I can use as end-of-year gift to teachers.

Isabellea, ask if the Sobey's gift card qualifies for the 7X AM promotion before buying it. I was advised in my Shell less than 2 weeks ago that they no longer qualified for the promotion.

It's buried on the Airmiles site -- let me show you how to find these offers!!
On the main page go to Get Miles under your name

This screen will pop up, select "Offers & Promotions" and then "All Offers"

Here's the info on the Shell Offer. As others have mentioned you can do up to 5 transactions a day and each transaction can be a max of $100.00

The final day is June 4th. No coupon it's on instore purchase and almost everything is included. You can't buy tobacco products or Shell gift cards. Not sure about other exclusions. It is on the AM site. I double checked the $ amount last night.

Can you clarify this for me. If I buy a gc for $100 and get gas for $50 do I only get AM on $100?

Make it separate transactions. The gas doesn't apply to the instore 7X anyway. I'm not totally sure if you can combine it into one transaction, I would think so but haven't tried it myself. I need gas receipts for work so I like to keep it separate anyway.

Normally I would just go and cruise the isles but with the sciatic pain it is not possible right now. Does anyone know if the St Hubert's soup is an airmiles option here in Mississauga?
Thanks and Hugs Mel

Gas does not count toward the 7x for instore purchases. So you'd get the Mega Miles Air Miles for 25L of fuel and 7x on the $100 gift card. It's worked for me before with a big lineup behind me. Though personally I'd pay for the gas separately if store volume allows, just in case.

 

[juniorbugman]

Okay Shell question here - do lottery tickets count towards the 7x instore purchases?

 

[bababear_50]

Ok
answering my own question because I'm impatient and foolish,,leg is killing me now BUT
St Hubert broth in the tetra box is on sale at Sobeys $1.99 each --Buy 3 Tetra boxes of broth (regular chicken broth or spicy chicken broth )= 25 airmiles.
The cans of St Huberts soup are not on sale, or offer any airmiles at my Sobeys.
Goldfish crackers all varieties on sale $2.49 each ---buy 2 get 10 airmiles.
Picked up Cheerios and Cinnamon Toast crunch cereal --$3.99 each = 15 airmiles a box.
Spent 12.59 and got 40 airmiles.-not bad.

Also confirming that Sobeys and LCBO gift cards were eligible for 7x at Shell. Bought 3 totals, $100 each, 3 separate transactions, got 75 miles for each of them. I bought gas as a separate promo, to get the MM offer. Also pretty sure I saw lotto cards advertised (pics) on the 7x ad in-store, so would say yes that lotto should count

OT - sitting here tonight watching girls softball, and the Mickey plane flew overhead!

( I took a picture with my iPhone, not sure how to post it though.)

Ok so I just completed my 5th megamiles promo coupon by ordering a cookbook from the Crockpot site. That officially falls into the catergory of "something I didn't already plan to buy" which is a big no-no for me usually. BUT (of course there is a justification coming) I will use the cookbook, and it was much cheaper than driving 40 minutes to Foodland and gritting my teeth while I grossly overpaid on $60 worth of items to use that coupon. So I'll live. And I may give it as a gift to my cookbook loving sister. So there.. two justifications.

This will put me 850 airmiles short of the last Disney ticket I need. Ideally I need that before mid July so I can make fastpass reservations. Tight deadline, especially when we are saving every penny for this second trip (just got back from Universal) but I think its doable.
