Airmiles Armchair Chatter

We're back from Ottawa! DH was very cooperative in my hunt for AM and the girls were happy to choose some snacks for our summer road trip to FL so I will call that a win!

Shell - 11 AM for gas using the MM coupon
Shell - 63 AM for 95$ in gift cards with the 7X promo (they didn't have any Sobeys gc so I bought 2x25$ GC for Amazon.ca (gifts for my youngest DD educators at daycare since it's her final summer with them before starting school), 2x15$iTunes and 1x15$ Starbucks (gift for my oldest DD gymnastic coach).
Rexall - 16 AM for 32$ using the MM coupon (nothing great in-store for AM).
Sobeys - 114 AM for 150$ (DH bought a few specialty items we don't have in QC so it increased my bill by approx. 25$ without any bonus AM for those products)

Grand total: 204 AM

Thank you all for your tips!

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.

We didn't know about the races until we tried finding a parking spot close to Byward market... We still had a great time!
 
Airmiles Credit Card question. I currently have a BMO World Elite Mastercard. I was just shopping at Sobeys and I applied for a Sobeys Airmiles Mastercard (get 500AM after first purchase, what the heck its 500AM). Is this Sobeys card going to affect my World Elite card or are they treated as separate entities even though they are both underwritten by BMO? Bottom line is I don't want to screw up my World Elite card. I plan on holding the Sobeys card for 10 months or so before cancelling.

Any thoughts?

It is its own entity and will not affect your BMO World Elite at all. Both will be separate and stay separate. Plus, I agree, what the heck is 500 AM. Cheap is what it is.
 


Any Pharmasave shoppers on here? Just curious how long they take to post miles. When DH and I went there last week to each complete a MM offer, the receipt showed the correct amount of miles per the offer, but it also said "Air Miles offer May", but then also said "offer expired April 27"??? We only did 5 offer each as I typically don't have any issues.
 
Missing 51am from Shell today, airmiles was scanned, $50 gc (usually 35am + 5 personal bonus) + gas (1am + 10am mm instore payment). Cashier said they should be on the receipt unless system was down, didn't even get 1 regular am for the gas. So either system was down or something went wrong. AM card was scanned last which isn't the usual order I give it in. I'll wait and see what if anything posts on my account this week.

I've done a few purchases this month where the Air Miles did not show up on the receipt but posted no problem a few days later. To my surprise.

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

Why the separate transactions on the gift cards? Is there some sort of limit on the promotion? I noticed someone else mentioned this upthread and wondered if I'm missing something.

I plan to buy some gift cards at Shell later this week during overlap period between the 7x promotion and the other Shell/Amex promotions (June 2-4). I'll probably buy $200 worth, and I don't want to mess it up!
 
Grocery shopping at Safeway yesterday was a complete bust. Spent $151.00, got 34 airmiles. :sad:
 
I have almost all my MM promo done. Went out over the weekend and hit 3 more. Took the Ds driving as he needs practice before he does his road test. And what better way to kill two bird with one stone. And the Ds just rolled his eyes when I was making him drive me around :rotfl2:
So I'm shopped at Safeway, Shell, Global pet foods, and Staples. Going to hit Rona either today or tomorrow for a few bedding plants or a couple of small trees to replace the ones we had to cut down last year that were diseased and dying. Then I'm done for that promo. It was pretty easy...now to wait and see when the points post for more TICKETS!!!!! :banana:

Hit Rexall on Sunday to take advantage of the spend $50, get 100am as well as to grab a few things that were not eligible for the spend $50. Ended up doing 3 transactions.

#1: $28.95, used the MM promo plus a few load & go, got 55am
#2: $30.14, used the MM promo plus 1 in store offer, got 18am
#3: $52.17, used MM promo plus s50, g100 promo, got 117am

Total spent: $111.26, got 190am and saved $30.98. I also got two of the $10.00 gift coupons and one save $5 wus $25.00
 
There is a $100 limit per transaction and also a limit off 5 transactions a day. I bought 5 $100 Sobeys gift cards yesterday as 5 separate transactions. I added my gas on the first transaction and so I earned a total of 361 AM. Thanks to those who posted about this idea. I only wish I'd have taken advantage of this promo earlier. I'm probably going to do the same thing again later this week.

Question for those of you who are trying to meet the May targeted offer from MasterCard. Do you know if the date of purchase OR the posting date is what matters? We had a few purchases that happened on April 30th but didn't post till May 1st and without those we fall $125 short of the goal ... URGH, we really don't need anything, the car is full, grocery shopping is done, need nothing from Rexall ... it's been a pretty lean month for income so to buy something just for the sake of 160 AM is not terribly responsible :P
 
That's a good one Jacqueline. It could go either way. I would be tempted to call and specifically ask. I'm afraid it may be purchase date as there is no reference to posting date in the fine print on the offer.
