Not sure why an employee at Foodland would know about not just one store but two leaving Airmiles but hey, I've been surprised before. Now regarding Shell leaving, as hubby pointed out last night when I muttered this under my breath, Sobeys actually bought 250 Shell locations in Quebec and Atlantic Canada so I highly doubt Shell will leave.
We've seen stores come and go over the years (heck even Michael's was a sponsor many moons ago) but we usually get a big head's up from the store themselves since it happens when they develop their own rewards program. Apparently Canadians have more loyalty cards than any other country!! We love our rewards, do end up being loyal to those companies and that makes it lucrative in a very competitive market to create one that's store specific.
I'm not going to get upset about this right now, too many other things not paying rent in my head for it to even be possible to make room for this. We have a poop-load of miles at the moment and I'm still actively pushing to grow the account with the intention of getting at least one AP for 2023 and I'm going to keep moving towards that goal. I've mentioned numerous times over the last 6+ years that cash miles don't fit into our banking mode, we only have one account so moving money from one to another isn't possible. I also refuse to have money tied up in gift cards that won't be used within a 6 week MAXIMUM time frame because that's too big a risk for me so I won't play the shell game either.
