Airmiles Armchair Chatter

cview said:
Did you need to have a second airmiles account number when your husband signed up? I'm thinking about doing this and was wondering whether it would work if we used only one airmiles account number for both AM cards.

I have personal data on this. One account number is good. And better.

My husband had an Amex Airmiles Platinum card. We directed the 2,000 Airmiles sign up bonus to his Airmiles account. He referred me to the Amex Airmiles Platinum card and got 500 bonus Airmiles for all his trouble (tongue in cheek). Those bonus miles posted to his account. I entered his Airmiles number in the application and my welcome bonus posted to his account. 4,500 Airmiles!

On that note,
Please stop wasting referral opportunities. It's an easy 500 Airmiles for the person referring. And can be carried forward. If anyone needs help, I'd be happy to walk you through it.
 
Whoop whoop! I made Onyx today. Not that its worth all that and a bag of chips. But a milestone nonetheless. Nice to have no expiration.

I did have a 2,000 Amex Airmiles Platinum bonus in there. I don't use that card much though because 1 Airmile per $10 spend is only worth the equivalent of 1% cash back. I can do much better with other travel cards or a simple 2% cash back card so I target my spend strategically elsewhere. Still though, I'm happy earning the other 4,000 Airmiles the 'not so hard way'.

Thanks to all you crazyassed collectors on this thread. I would have missed the most recent Sobeys $50 Ultimate Dining card offer... And many other offers.

Thanks again!

Good to know, my daughter and I both just received our Amex Platinum with the bonus 2000 miles and both used my Air Miles account number. Unfortunately I didn't see the blurb about the extra 500 for referring her until after she applied - what do you mean by it can be carried forward?

Hello,

Sorry for the confusion. More like paid forward.

You use someone's referral link. Exactly the same outcome for you. 500 bonus Airmiles for a friend. You refer daughter. 500 bonus Airmiles for you. Cancel your card in 11 months or so. Your daughter refers you. Reapply after three months. 500 bonus Airmiles for her. She cancels. You refer her. Rinse. Repeat. Once you have a referral in the family (spouse to spouse etc) you're golden. I have a few more years before my kids can apply for credit cards.

Important: always keep your oldest no fee credits cards because age of credit counts for a percentage of your credit score.

disclaimer:
I churn credit cards but still have an excellent credit score. I monitor my score with a free Home Depot Equifax monitoring promo they had the last two years.
I started off very slow because I thought it sounded too good to be true. But have been taking advantage of credit card promos since June 2014. A rookie still for sure. But looking for other enthusiasts.

I had posted this same thing a few pages back.

There is also an American Express Air Miles card that is gold coloured. You 500 AM when you sign up and use it one time. You can then refer it to someone else who signs up and gets 500 AM and then you get 200 bonus AM for referring them.

I picked up 108 bottles using AM cash on Friday and then when my airmiles post on Wednesday hope to pick up more. Free poweraid to give to the food bank and enough airmiles to purchase another adult ticket.

So does the purchase of 6 bottles trigger this, or 6 buy 5 for 5? If purchase 6 bottles, then that is great buy and free drinks. the other way good but not great as it would cost you $30 to get $5.
Now looking at that flyer, if you did it this weekend, bonus 100am for $100 spent/

Every 6 bottles is 60 airmiles. Ended up with 1180 airmiles with my bonus coupon and hope to flipp that if there are any left in stock on Thursday. I love the airmiles game but the deals have not been that great lately
 
Ok Ontario airmiles nuts, the upcoming Rexall flyer is up on Saveland. It's 110 airmiles for spending $50 so I will definitely be going to Rexall this weekend.

Edited.. no airmiles for giftcards so question was pointless.
 
Woohoo! My Sobeys store is going through a major renovation right now, store is a mess. I just received in my email from the Store Manager a coupon for up to 500 bonus AM when you spend $500 at the store between June 1 and July 13! Done!

Our flyer also has for this week for every $200 in GC and get 95 AM, buy a $50 GC to select stores and get 60 AM...It's looking like a very successful AM haul this month! :)

Thanks for the heads up! I was headed there this afternoon to use my coupon that expires today for 40 AM with a $30 spend but I think the new deal is much better :)
 
I'm thinking the 40 minute drive to Sobeys might be worthwhile! Who doesn't have a serious need for gift cards? Question though, are they affiliated with any other stores that might be in my city that i could use them in??
 
Darn I forgot my allergy meds at work and have to run over to Rexall.....no special deals on right now so I will try to control myself until the weekend.
Hugs mel

You can use them at Freshco, PriceChopper, IGA and Foodland.
 
My shiny new Platinum Air Miles American Express Card arrived today...can't wait for the 2000 welcome air miles (yes, I know that I have to spend $500 first, won't be hard, need some dental work that will exceed $500)...

They get posted quickly to your account too! I think I got mine 1-2 weeks after reaching the $500 threshold.
