Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ottawamom]

Now you just need to find cheddar on sale for $4.44 and you've got a real deal.

 

[ottawamom]

Heads up! When purchasing cheese on several cards make sure to leave a little time between processing payments or add something different to each order. I purchased 3 cheeses in rapid succession and when I went to submit the 3rd on card #3 I get the message that it has seen this item before. The receipt #'s are unique but AI isn't differentiating that fine detail.

I can't submit an inquiry because that option isn't made available to me. I guess I'll have to call.

Called: they gave me the runaround about having submitted both receipts using my phone... Tried using DH phone same thing happened. I have to pick up some other groceries so I will go back to the store. Return the cheese and then repurchase it with some other items.

Have I mentioned that I hate Airmiles receipts.

I will probably be doing the buy 2 cheddar cheese slices packages at metro get 20 bonus airmiles.
I have 2 receipt scan offers ,,one for 25 AM and one for 75AM .
So hopefully 120 Airmiles through receipt Scan.
Now to see if the Darn Receipts scan ok.

I just did the offer earlier, after dropping my son off at school.
Scanned the receipt but it is still in progress, probably because the description on the receipt says “crack bar.med.che”. Lol.

This happened to me on the last day of the last flash sale. I submitted a receipt with one cucumber on it within 30 minutes of the purchase and it said already submitted. It was the first receipt ever to be submitted on that account and I hadn't shopped or submitted any other receipts that day. It really made no sense, I could only think that it was matching on store, date, amount and it matched someone else who purchased earlier than I did.

I now make sure each my receipts are as unique as possible. As you mentioned, it won't let you do an inquiry or resubmit (I tried for 5 days to get it through).

Edit: I don't think leaving time between receipts would have made any difference, I hadn't submitted a receipt in 2 days.

I have to remember to throw a banana or pack of gum in when doing the offers. If the amount is unique it eventually goes through.

I have never had a receipt offer work properly, I don't both trying any more. I bought bacon with my groceries and it said clearly "bacon" in the description, and I got no AM, said there was nothing on the receipt. So I give up. Not worth the trouble. I'm glad the rest have some luck with it! But I have to say when I use the Checkout 51 app to earn money back on things I buy, no issues.

I think your banana idea is a good choice as it would be hard to have two receipts with the same total amount.

Have a great trip Mort. It's different without kids, you get to do what you want to do! Let me know how you like Porter. I'm using them the day after you're back.

I’ll try to do this one but I’m a bit concerned the receipt may or may not say “Cheddar”. It could say Cracker Barrel cheese slices for example.

While on Airmile Receipt issues to watch for, I had three receipts, April 1 and April 2, that went to "further time needed" and then were listed with the correct amounts awarded. However, the miles haven't shown up in my airmiles account, not even sure how to chase them. And how much time should I spend on 3+3+4 airmiles??? Honestly, zero, but it's frustrating, I had receipts last year where they missed items with no way to resubmit so just I let it go.

We flew Porter reserve from Ottawa to MCO for March break and I enjoyed it. Even Terminal C was nice, new and clean. It was a bit of a trek to where the bags were, but the door out was right there and easy to catch an Uber/Lyft. I enjoyed the cold meals, but kiddo did not have anything. They don't serve anything hot, well tea/coffee I suppose, but the meals are cold.

I checked one bag but wish I had just used carry on. It took forever when we got back to Ottawa to get the bag, but that was not Porter's fault (that was an Ottawa issue). Absolutely better than Rouge, we flew them in December. Porter was much better.

My Metro Receipt




Who knows,,, hopefully it works ,,,right now it is taking a bit more time to process.
I will call Airmiles on this as it is cheddar cheese just cut up into slices.
Hope you are successful.

[ilovetotravel1977]

For the cheddar cheese offer, they didn't say if it had to be a brick of cheese or cheese slices. Do we think the slices would work?

 

[bababear_50]

Just got this email,,,
makes me think slices of cheddar are in.

 

[ottawamom]

On a positive note, AM Receipts - Cheddar cheese posted for me over night on all three accounts (just the 3AM, the others (75+25) will come later). Two accounts had gone to inquiry and one was "we need a litlle more time".

I gave them heck above so thought I better post about the speedy turnaround on posting the offer.

I bought an absurd amount of cheese yesterday. DD's lactose free cheeses were all on sale and I had coupons so I bought approx $50 worth...this was Food Basics. Two where cheddar...those were the large blocks on sale for $4.44. I submitted the receipt and it went through after about an hour. Later I realized that I had bought some herb and garlic cheddar for myself but it's on my other receipt that I had already submitted for the cucumber...that was Superstore. Yes, I'm crazy but I still have four coupons so I think I will go back and get four more...can use that receipt for DD's account. BTW, her account has an offer of earn one mile at Shell to earn 50 bonus and same offer for Metro. Both are good through the end of the month so I'll be making that happen.

In case anyone is interested...the Laughing Cow and Babybel are on sale for $2.45. There are $1 off coupons out there. I found mine in the cracker aisle at Superstore. Now do you get the picture on how much cheese I bought? I only bought three of the $4.44 blocks.
