I wasn't a fan and had maybe 200 airmiles in my account from years of being a member. Once I really started to pay attention and shop the Sobeys and Rexall promos, as well as put online purchases through airmilesshops.ca, I really started racking up the points. I have redeemed for a 5 day Adult Disney ticket, and a 2 day park to park Universal ticket and I only started seriously collecting in the early fall. I may buy different things than I used to buy, but I don't buy anything I won't use, and I don't go over my regular spending budgets. We don't have the airmiles credit card yet, but I am considering it. The program is working well for us. Besides.. it's fun.
There used to be decent offers at Metro and that was always were I got a lot but I am finding them few and far between, seems to be more of the spend your AM cash, get points type of promos.
I was never really a fan of the Shoppers Optimum program but last year I happened to need to buy a gift in the makeup dept that was on a 20x the points event day. Suddenly I had all these points and my eyes were opened. Now they have these electronic "load to your card" personalized offeres that have made it sooo much easier to rack up point. I wish AM would do that. I use the printed coupons they send BUT I would love an emailed version that I could put on my AM card.
