That's interesting Mel. I will be picking up some D3 vitamins at Pharmasave also. I didn't think of gummies. I'll look for those.

@ilovetotravel1977 your receipt will have to be Sept 20-Oct 4 to work for STB.

Sadly I think I may miss out tomorrow's PharmaSave offer as I am going to the cottage with the family and don't think my Mom and sister will want to 1- find a PharmaSave and 2 - shop there. I know that there is one at the cottage but never been there so I don't know exactly what they sell. I will see what my Sister has to say about stopping somewhere as she is the driver so makes the rules.

No one in my family got the Dollarama offer, just the Pharmasave offer. Would have preferred the Dollarama promo offer. Need more Disney gift cards.

Hi Hon
I am not sure what you mean?

Dollarama is a CardLink Airmiles partner so I thought they would qualify as a shop?
Maybe I am wrong?

Dollarama will qualify, just 1 AM but will count as one of the STB offers. Wish there was a bonus on that!

So the wording on the Pharmasave flyer is that we can earn air miles at participating locations. Sounds like not all stores because there are several Pharmasave stores near me but they are not listed.So might want to double check before heading out. Here’s the list from this week’s flyer on Flipp.

 

[Donald - my hero]

well obviously POFQ is your fave but this could be a chance to try something different. Maybe it would reduce your stress level if you could actually make a plan B while you're stuck at home...maybe even renting DVC points.

In all likelihood you will feel well enough to fly next week but if you don't want to chance it and you have insurance, you should get a doctor's note

It's actually a deal breaker, if we can't stay at POFQ, we won't go. Or we would need to rent a car and go there for every.single.meal I have a very limited diet due to numerous allergies and I've been in constant contact with one of the chefs since our last trip. He has sourced food specifically for me, the baker will be making muffins that are a constant in my diet at home and a safe cake for our 40th anniversary, he has looped in the entire culinary team and we KNOW that we can travel without packing a suitcase of food. For us, Disney is all about the food, it is the ONLY place in the world that I can safely eat without cooking for myself (heck, I don't trust me hubby ) We will go to the parks 1 day out of the 6 that we're there, only because, GUARDIANS!

We have tried other resorts, including DVC units, but we always ended up going to French Quarter several times to eat because of stellar reviews in the allergy community. Feb 2020 we decided to just STAY there and avoid renting a car. From the moment we stepped foot on the grounds we knew we had found our home. We love everything about it.

Insurance isn't a problem, everything I've booked is 100% refundable, even the flights up to 1 hour before departure because I paid $100 for the no-reason-needed (who knows what that's called?)

As to my current symptoms? Yeah, not happy about the fact that I've wandered into the land of mouth symptoms - went from toothpaste making me gag, to an odd metallic taste in my mouth, to things tasting rancid and landed solidly on "Do i have a mouthful of nickles?" and food having zero taste, like everything has NO FLAVOUR. Given that this trip is to be food centric I'm really questioning going at all

Ok
I live in Mississauga and can't find any flyer for Pharmasave at all.
Nothing on Flipp

I found this page which talks a lot about Airmiles and Pharmasave joining them

https://pharmasave.com/air-miles/

Hmmmmmmmmmm................................................................

I guess I'll go to Pharmasave tomorrow and see what they say.
Nite all.

Thank you for posting this. Checked my area and not a single store in Vancouver or Richmond BC are listed when I checked the flipp app for my area. Saved me a trip. Disappointing that I can’t do this offer without going further away.

My Flipp app has two flyers for Pharmasave. One looks like this and the other has a much longer lost of stores but a much smaller list of items on sale. Both reference the AM portion, flash deal and earning AM.

The Dollarama promo offer spend $10 get 100 bonus air miles, we only received the Pharmasave promo offer spend $10 get 100 bonus air miles no Dollarama promo offer. Does Pharmasave sell Disney Gift Cards?

I don't think there is a spend $10 get 100 ams offer for Dollarama right now. There was only the spend $30 twice a month and get 50 am offer that had been going on for a while and now the spend spend $30 get 1 am.

 

[tinkerone]

I don't think there is a spend $10 get 100 ams offer for Dollarama right now. There is only the spend $30 twice a month and get 50 am offer that's been going on for a while and the spend spend $30 get 1 am if you only shop once a month.

Didn't that Dollarama offer end? I thought it finished in August. I could be wrong.

 

[Donald - my hero]

I guess I don't need to worry about being able to go to pharmasave today because, well, none of the ones in our city participate! This shows up on their website


For the StB promo @Eveningsong and anyone else wondering about dollarama:
It will count as a CARD LINKED OFFER, that's all. Spend $30 get 1 measly mile but check off an offer as completed

PHARMASAVE has an additional FLASH offer that happens to coincide with the beginning of StB and is completely unrelated. But if you do shop there it will also count as an offer completed.

dollarama did have an offer about a month ago that was the same, as well as the shop twice get 50 miles but that ended in August

 

[damo]

Didn't that Dollarama offer end? I thought it finished in August. I could be wrong.

Yes, sorry. It's cheaper to spend $15 at Kernels and get 8 bonus miles if you need a card-linked shop but you can do both and get 2 qualifying offers.

Here's me, pulling my Mama bear routine once again, and stepping up onto my soapbox
Grab your calculator and do the math for what works within your household's budget.
do not over spend in the pursuit of miles just because it has a fancy (and familiar) name
do not buy something you don't use or eat
do not buy something with the thought "i can just donate this"
if you complete the full promo, 5 separate offers that meet the terms, and use your BMO Mastercard for at least one of those, you will earn a total of 825 miles that's only worth $86!!! (95 cash miles = $10)
Now go back to your list and see just how much it will actually cost you to earn those miles.
most stores you need to spend $20 to get 1 mile and based on my math, that's not coming out as a win? If i do 5 transactions in store or online I will spend $100!
If i do a receipt offer that will obviously be less as will buying something from inside shell but I'm not sure this promo will have me rushing out to complete it.
Side note here, I've been unable to focus on the small print for this offer so I'm not sure if it's only on BASE miles earned or are they allowing BONUS miles? That would have the potential of lowering how much you need to spend

Yes mom

I was sure someone posted earlier they received a Dollarama bonus promo and a Pharmaplus bonus offer But i was wrong just the pharmasave bonus offer. I will try it after work at the Belleville Pharmasave on North Front. We have 3 locations but only one is listed as participating.

Perhaps we could report any problems or success with the Phamasave promo today
