Ok
I didn't want to take a chance so I went back and bought a couple tins of Rose and Robin chocolates--(Christmas neighbor gifts) $9.99 each.
Used printed out coupon this time.
receipt say 30 bonus airmiles.
I felt guilty about asking the other cashier to add 30 airmiles for the Nosh & Co and they said not to worry--Merry Christmas! They do refer to me as their airmiles lady,,lol.

Please NOTE:
On my first shop at Rexall we (cashier and I decided that the print said 'Nosh & Co OR Rose and Robin so we didn't think it could be combined together but I don't know that for sure.

Here is what I purchased.

Nosh Peach Rings $1.99
Rose & Robin Pecan Praline $5.99 (bought 2)
Rose & Robin Mini Candy Canes $2.99

Total was 16.96 before tax. Everything should have counted however I didn't receive the bonus 30 either. I did get the bonus 8 AM that Rexal offered.

Hi Hon
Your $5.99 + $5.99 + $2.99= $14.97
Maybe they are allowing the combination of Nosh & Co and Rose and Robin,
Maybe call airmiles or chat online.

I bought a combination of nosh chips and RR candies total was 19.48 I got 35 ( one of the tags said 5 bonus miles) bonus miles but on the receipt underneath it said shop the block coupon 0, so not sure if I will get credit.

My receipt also said "shop the block coupon 0" for the Spend $50 on make-up get 100 AM Rexall coupon. But, the correct amount of airmiles were reflected on the receipt ("100 Bonus airmiles") so I assume it's fine. I've kept my receipt just in case though.

Points from Air Miles Travel HUb, anyone know if the posting date for the points is check out date?

I got an offer if I earn 700 AM in December I will get Oynex till March 2018, I already have a hotel booked for check out Dec 29 that will give me 700 points, but not sure if those will be awarded in time.

Hubby and i just studied our receipt and discovered that yes, i did get the coupon applied, my receipt says:
SP$15 RRN G30AM qty 1 $0.00
then the barcode that matches the coupon --- I've kept an intact booklet to use for my tracking purposes
I translated that to mean ... Spend $15.00 on Rose & Robin, Nosh Co Get 30 AM --- 1 coupon with a dollar value of 0.00

SO i think seeing the coupon show up on the receipt is all we need, their POS system needs to assign a dollar value to everything that gets scanned and in this case, it's zip. Make sense??

I booked and stayed at a hotel in September and the miles posted about 10 days after check out ... here's the wording from the site

How long after a booking on Travel Hub will I receive my Bonus Miles?
Your Bonus Miles will be awarded 2-4 weeks after the completion of your stay.

Unfortunately your stay on Dec 29 won't post till sometime in 2017, sorry.

Completely off topic:

I'm in Montreal and just got back to the hotel from Cirque du Soleil OVO. Recall the dinner and show for two package that Air Miles offered for 1 mile.

Absolutely incredible show. And a great a la carte dinner. Tremendous value overall and so worth a hotel stay.

star72232 · Dec 2, 2016

Anybody ever try to redeem cash miles with the app? Went to Metro today (25 min drive), just to told I need the physical card to redeem miles. So pissed. I ended up not going to Rexall (same town, nothing closer) because I was so angry. Add that to the Foodland's that didn't have half the stuff for their offers and another 25 min drive that resulted in no purchases, and I'm super frustrated.

But are they dated the check out date. I just got my 20x AM shopping points posted today but they are dated Nov 25.

If it wasn't combinable then it would say 'spend $15.00 on Nosh & Co. or spend $15.00 on Rose and Robin'. It doesn't, it only says 'spend $15.00 on Nosh & Co. or Rose and Robin'. There is no distinction between the two in the wording. This was verified by the cashier. The two should be able to be purchased together. The end result was 30 airmiles and that's all I care about. I didn't see any other things in the Shop More offer that I would use (other than using my MasterCard).

Wish I needed more candy so I could try again but I would be eating it into next December if I purchased anymore, lol.

Ok so i tracked this down for you (good thing i have e-mail that goes back to 2005 ) and i can provide this timeline:

Booked the stay September 14th
Stayed at the hotel October 4th
Airmiles posted to my account October 10th (searched this thread cause at the time i didn't know what they were for so i posted about it!)
They were dated October 5th -- check out date

SO in this case i would *assume* yours *should* have a date of December 29 meaning you'll make your goal. Hope this helps

tinkerone · Dec 3, 2016

Thinking about my last post I have a question about the Shop the Block. How long does this go on? Is it only the offers I see now or will more offers come out? If this is something that will have new offers I may just keep checking.
Thanks

I don't have a smartphone so i can't use the app but i do know that when hubby is with me at Metro and we use the coupons on his phone there are a couple of cashiers who get all flustered , scratch heads and one did try to tell us it needed to be printed.

I would have lost my cool if that happened to me!! I would be on the on-line chat or phone as soon as i got home demanding an explanation and a general all-round witch!

I think there are gonna be a boat-load of complaints and requests for missing miles once this promotion is over. This is posted in the FAQ section and i really don't think they are going to win over a lot of collectors to the "cash miles" by making it so hard to jump thru all the hoops!

Q: Why are you only offering Bonus Cash Miles? I don’t have a Cash Account/I’m not interested in Cash.
A: We wanted to give Collectors the chance to experience instant rewards, and with AIR MILES Cash, 95 Miles = $10 towards your purchases. Instantly!

I received an e-mail telling me there were "new offers" but when i looked on-line didn't notice any
There are some that are on-line ONLY
I have been checking daily just to keep on track of the offers and i have several coupon books lying around as well.

A big shout out to "Dave" at Brampton's Foodland who called me and put aside the Maple Leaf Hand crafted meat. Smoked Ham (cherry wood).6.99 x 2
I just finished off my Shop The Block!!!!!! Yeah!
Hugs Mel

So this is saying they will post cash STB airmiles in Feb 2017?
https://shoptheblock.ca/en/faqs
I just might get them in time to pick up some gift cards for use in our March
Disney trip.

NorthernGrl · Dec 3, 2016

I gave up on Shop the Block. We live in a really rural area, and our Rexall, Sobeys and Foodland never have everything in the flyers let alone what's supposed to be available with coupons. And no coffee at our "local" Shell. It's been a crazy time and I'm just not willing to go through all the stress of managing this offer.

BUT, I just got an email telling me that I'm a winner of the Prize Pool contest from back in the summer. 1000 Airmiles will be credited to my account in 6-8 weeks, after answering a skill testing question. lol

dancin Disney style · Dec 3, 2016

I've completed 8 coupons as of today.
Costa Coffee
Shell Gas
MasterCard
Rexall X2
Metro
Airmiles.ca
Sobeys

It was very easy. Today was a good AM day overall. Used the Rexall R&R or Nosh coupon and paired that with last weeks $10 off coupon. Spent $8 out of pocket and got 43 AM. Got an envelope with coupons from Metro this week so using those with the STB coupon and I spent $17 out of pocket and earned 75 AM.

We just got back from our trip and I will say it was fantastic. Thank you Airmiles.
For those who are at Onyx or trying, use these offers when they come up. Cant believe that it was 1 AM. Well worth the drive and hotel stay.
DilEmma, we should have hooked up. Dinner was great would have loved the conversation.
For others, we should try and post when we are going to one of these events and meet up. Then we could talk AM and Disney, great conversation.
I will start, heading down to the ET concert at the end of the month. Anyone else?
