Airmiles Armchair Chatter

What's the saying? Nevertheless she persisted?
It was hard, VERY hard, but i just finished my online Mix & Match shopping promo. It required 6 transactions because I doubled checked with Airmiles about the whole Amazon thing -- i'll share the deets later but basically, ONLY the dollar value of products that earn miles would count towards the threshold.

Here's what i did
  1. Staples for $159.99, had a coupon to get extra 75 from staples (not posted yet) and Mastercard threshold for 100 if I spent 100 (did post)
  2. Well .ca 81.30 order arrived within 24 hours and miles posted within 36, including the promo
  3. HBC exactly 58 nothing posted yet
  4. ETSY 29.53 nothing posted and this should have triggered the next bonus
  5. HBC again for 141.99 (thanks to hubby putting both knees out of a pair of jeans and running out of undies!) again nothing posted yet
  6. JUST now placed order with Jamieson vitamins (who knew!)44.98

Total spent: 515.79 and i expect to earn a total of 957 once all the bonuses come thru. I'm very pleased with that return

***I just posted this in the Bonus Boom/Bust thread but thought I'd drop it here as well for reference once that promo's done. After everything's posted (or not) I'll share info i got regarding this whole "included categories" crap and why I chose to wait until today for the Mix & Match promo to end!***

I just took one for the team! Placed an order with Amazon for $81.83, 5 items, 4 will come on Wednesday (our closest fulfillment centre is the one that's closed due to COVID-19 outbreak so no next day delivery on anything right now) and one not till April 9th.
Of those 5 items 2 come from different "included categories" at a total cost of $21.57.

TEST? If I only get miles on the items included that will be 1 lonely mile BUT, one of those items is the one that's coming later. If just ordering items from the correct categories triggers the whole transaction i might get 4. OR twist, i purposely picked one of the included items as the later delivery because that tends to split the invoice causing all kinds of issues with the miles.

I needed all of these things but couldn't risk screwing up the other promo and possibly missing 350 miles, if I only miss out on 40, that's fine. Now we wait.

Just had the weirdest online shopping experience...

I ordered a paper cutter from Ebay. I did that to ensure it would count for the AMS promo.

Yesterday the item came from Amazon in an Amazon box. It included a gift note from someone I didn't know.

I thought maybe I ordered it from Amazon by accident and went back in my emails to confirm. I did for sure order it from Ebay.

Super strange.

There are sellers who sell through both ebay and amazon. Yours must do that and used Amazon for fulfillment.
 
Mel, I had to look back into 2019 to see when the next Blue Friday is likely. Unfortunately it likely won't happen until the end of April. I don't have a record of it as I was in Florida at the time but I do recall looking at the flyer and deciding not to send one of the boys to shop for me.

Last year was a bust, well because... Looks like we will be waiting a while. :(

My online shopping worked! I got 7 airmiles for the two purchases, plus the 75!

I did an amazon today hoping for the spend $80 bonus boom but am doubtful it will work as the order is being split up. I will be doing a Children's Place order in a few days which I hope will do the Children's Place, part of the BMO spend and the airmiles shop. Then I will just need to spend more on the BMO, may have to go to Metro I guess. But after Easter weekend.

I could be wrong, I often am, but I don't think Children's Place counts for the BMO spend. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Way way WAY off topic but has anyone ordered magnets off of Etsy for cruise cabin doors? I want to get some for the family cruise and looking for a good seller.
Last family cruise I was able to print off tons for each day usning my own magnet paper. Someone on the cruise boards were doing designs but it's no longer a thread. I think it just got to overwhelming. Anyways, any suggestions?

Well that sucks. Oh well... kiddo needs clothes so at least it'll be two offers done. I will be getting gas at Shell as well, and picking up a lot of groceries I guess! Perhaps I should take up drinking :D

I have not but love the idea. I had saved a bunch of ideas on there but they all seem to be no longer offering.

I received an offer from BMO MC today, spend $50 from Shell get 100 AM's. Sadly I just purchased gas two days ago. Guess I'll be looking for a GC to buy, I need those AM's. ;)
