I'm headed out to get my last 5 cups of coffee.
I tried 6 yesterday and the last one didn't work so I can confirm only 5 cup limit.

O/T (Off Topic)
Please be kind to people in the service industry this Holiday season,,,
I made a trip to Shoppers to mail a parcel to my Granddaughter today and the behaviour of the people waiting in line was disgusting and rude.
Pack your patience and set an example for your kids.(Santa is watching).

Just got back from Metro and cleaned up AGAIN -- earned 131 and then used the Shop the Block coupon but have a question about the "fine print" on this coupon
the words "cannot be combined with any other in-store AIRMILES offer" has me a tad concerned --- they had one of those spend X get X so we of course spent over $100 (easy when trying to get ready for the Christmas onslaught of kids) plus several offers on the shelves and our targeted coupons plus one our store has given us (spend $25.00 get 25 AM good till the end of the year) My question, will i get the credit for using this coupon -- it will be my 7th and if it's not gonna count i need to find another offer before Wednesday to use! I have visions of myself hitting up every Sobey's and Urban Fresh while in Toronto this week and bringing home cheese on the GO train!!

I have a question for those who use airmiles to purchase gift cards. How do you do this? I was looking at the airmiles site and couldn't figure out how this is done. Any help would be appreciated! thanks

I don't know the answer, but how would you be able to use the shop the block coupon, is it not the very same offer, coupon or no coupon, for the very same time period?

It is the almost the same as the Rexal one from a couple of weekends ago, spend $50 of makeup and get 100 AM, but that one just the Sunday overlapped a non coupon offer.


I have used 10 coupons , but I am not convinced I will get credit fir 3 of them, so I guess it us just wait and see.

There are 2 ways to purchase gift cards using Airmiles but BOTH require you having Cash Miles
1) There are some e-vouchers you can get directly from the site which you can print, add to the balance of a card you already have or use to shop on-line.
2) OR you can go into a Shell Gas station and use your Cash Miles to *purchase* any gift card in store.

If your miles are all Dream Miles there are no longer any gift cards you can redeem for unfortunately. There are times when you can EARN bonus Airmiles for purchasing Gift Cards at stores like Sobey's, Foodland, Metro, Rexall.

No it wasn't the same offer, similar but not identical, both are only good for the weekend so i don't know how they expect us to use one and not the other

I used the same sort of coupon last week at Metro when the store had redeem 95AM get 25AM. I asked them to enter the code from the back of the coupon (STB) I couldn't see it specifically on the receipt but I've kept copies of both the flyer and the STB coupon just in case. I'm hoping it will all work out but I'm prepared to make my case if it doesn't.

Thank you for explaining it. I only have Dream miles unfortunately.

For those who have booked hotels through the Air Miles Hub, how did the charge show up on your credit card? DH is doing some traveling in January for work, and I want to book his hotel to get the bonus miles. However, if the charge shows up as "Air Miles Travel Hub" or something like that, I probably can't utilize it as his corporate VISA might not allow third-party bookings to gain air miles/points.

Here's the coupon you can use at Rexall this week
Spend $40.00 get 60 AM valid December 12 - 14

Oh boy. A whole thread of AM obsessive Disneyphiles. I think I'm in heaven!

I thought I was obsessive about AM collecting, but now that I'm reading some of y'all's posts...I'm a rank amateur. I started going heavy into AM for our DL trip in 2012 and have managed to hit Onyx every year since then, I'm good through 2018 already.

In early planning stages of our very first WDW trip for about this time next year. I have *almost* enough for two of the five park passes we will need. My goal is to get enough AM for at least three of the passes by the end of the sale 2/28/17. Any tips would be very appreciated!
