Anyone still waiting for The Shell post?
I'm still missing the one from Nov 26 with $50 gas. I guess I will not get it automatically unless contact airmiles for missing miles. The one on Dec 6 posted a few days later after the transaction. What a fail program.

I received both Shell shop the block offers 2-3 days after using the coupons.

Even if you contact Air Miles now, they may give you the bonus miles (as they did for me for another offer), but it may not count as an STB offer. I think you are better off to wait until the 2000 (or 1000, etc) miles are posted. Then call in and explain the offers that you completed. I don't doubt that Air Miles will give you the STB credit at that time.

Question: for the offer of "[ Nov 14 to Dec 14 ] - Hudson's Bay - Get 10 Bonus AM When You Register To Auto-Convert Your Hudson's Bay Rewards Points To Miles, Bonus AM Will Be Applied To Your AM Acct Within 6 Weeks Of Sign-up - NO COUPON REQUIRED - BAMs Reported Posting To Accounts (REDEEMED HBC POINTS AUTOMATIC +10)", airmiles posted 25 bonus miles for this offer on my account today (initially had 400 hbc points, 10 airmiles for converting was posted in dec already), while the order said 10 bonus miles. I'm confused.

Update: Checked my hbc statement, basically 1000 free hbc points showed up and was auto converted to airlmiles (hence the 25 airmiles received), which makes me even more confused. Here is the entry for the free 1000 hbc points:

Date Location Description Points Earned
1/3/2018 HUDSON'S BAY REWARDS AIR MILES NEW AUTO CONVERTERS- 1,000


What's going on here? I supposed to get 10 bonus airmiles (which I have not yet received), but I got 1000 free hbc points for auto conversion. Hopefully it won't mess up my 7 offers.

My HBC Auto conversion BAM also arrived today, but with 25AM instead of 10AM like the coupon said :). So the only 2 left are: Metro BAM for redeeming 95AM and 150AM from airmilesshop.ca. Even without Metro, I still have 8 offers completed so I am not too worried about that

BTW, little off topic. Due to this promotion, we got to try Tia Rosa kits and we like them a lot. This week (tomorrow is the last day), Food Basics has them on sale for $2.88, then checkout51 has coupons for $3 each. So you buy 2 (one of each type), you will actually earn $0,25 (rounding up) :)

Update: Food Basics sale was over. However, Metro this week has them 2 for $5 and checkout 51 just added the $3 coupons again for each type. So picking up 2 today will net you $1 :)

Me too. Received 25 AM from HBC instead of 10AM for auto convert.
I'm still waiting for 10AM for $10 HBC e-gift card redemption.
Even if HBC combined 10AM auto convert plus 10AM for e-gift, the total should be 20.

Should I still assume that the 10AM is missing from redeeming my $10 HBC e-gift card?

Yes, you should assume that the 10AM are missing. On my spouse's account, the Air Miles entry was " EGIFT CARD OFFER +10". There is no corresponding entry of the HBC side, so no logical reason to combine. I was also still missing the 10AM, so I phoned in to Air Miles. I got the adjustment but I doubt that it will automatically count as an offer if it was done that way. I think we are better off to wait until the 2000 (or whatever) AM are posted

Also, please be advised that the 2000 Miles from Shop the Block are expected to appear in mid of March this year and missing Miles from all our Sponsors that participated in the promo are to appear in April this year. There are now detailed notes referring to the postings that are still missing and I can assure you that if there's an issue we will definitely assist you...there's nothing to be worried about. Please keep track online through our website airmiles.ca and reconnect with us if the 2000 Miles do not appear. Kindly,also keep your receipt for Shell and email confirmations for airmilesshops.ca orders."
Shoptheblock.ca website mentioned the end of January which is in 3 weeks. Who do we believe?

the 25 am may be a result of the autoconvert option after a free 1000 hbc points on signup with bay rewards....if it is, it should appear on ur hudson bay rewards card transaction list... (1000/40=25)

My bay reward card is existing, not new sign up. I did not expect any sign up bonus point from HBC.

Airmiles has four statements which can be confusing.

From the page header:
Shop the Block has wrapped up.
Thanks for participating! If you qualified,
you will receive your Bonus Miles at the end
of January 2018. Happy New Year!
From the FAQs:
Q: So, how does this all work?
A: In a nutshell, here’s how AIR MILES® Shop the Block™ works:
Use offers at participating Partners from November 14 to December 14, 2017.
We’ll add up the number of offers you used and award your Bonus Miles in February 2018.
Use 3 different offers, get 300 Bonus Miles
Use 5 different offers, get 1,000 Bonus Miles
Use 7 different offers, get 2,000 Bonus Miles
Q: When will the Miles be added to my Collector Account?
A: Both the Bonus Miles you get for just shopping at each Partner and the Bonus Miles you get for using 3, 5 or 7 different offers will be deposited into your Collector Account, based on your current balance preference, within 120 days after the promotion ends. 
From the T&C's:
Allow up to 90 days after the Event Period for Bonus Miles to be posted to your Account.
So to summarize, Airmiles has stated the bonus points will be added possibly in:
  • Late January 2018
  • Within 90 days after the event period ends
  • Within 120 days after the promotion ends
  • Award your bonus miles in February 2018

I will go out on a limb and guarantee your bonus points will probably be posted in 2018!!

also note the following:
The Miles you get from using 3, 5 or 7 offers will be deposited into your Account within 120 days after the promotion, in 2018. These Miles will count towards your 2019 Gold/Onyx™ status.

Nope, I don't think anyone got that one yet, plus the Metro 25AM for redeeming 95AM in Nov (maybe with the exception of one or two individuals)

also note the following:
The 120 days is standard, so that collectors don't bombard Air Miles with requests. If I were doing it, at the end of January I would give 2000 miles to all those that I figure will qualify. Then after 90 days of the end, ie March 14, I would give to all the others that qualify for at least 300. I would expect calls starting March 15 (120 days after the first day November 14) for missing bonus miles from the individual offers.

anyone else shopped at Dell (through airmilesshop.ca) for the promotion? if so can you check if your AMs still there? For no reason, they just removed (deducted) all the AMs I earned for purchasing some item from Dell during BF promotion (15x from AMS & 10x from Dell). It's good thing the item was relatively small (only $25). Imagine I bought the dell XPS from them and lost all the miles now. It's strange that folks from another thread said they lost 10x Ebates money from Dell's purchases too, not sure if something to do with all Dell's purchases or just random and I am happened to be the unlucky one. the funny thing is I still have yet opened the item :(

update: I have confirmed with 2 other RFDlers that our BAMs from purchasing at Dell (through airmilesshop.ca) were all deducted off our accounts. So I assume everyone else is the same.

I am also missing the 10 bonus miles needed to qualify for the 7th offer. A few posters back indicated they got their bonuses from the e-gift card back in November so it appears to be posted in batches. As per the above poster, probably wait until April 2018 as per airmiles customer representative. If you get the 2,000 bonus miles by March, the missing miles doesn't matter anyway.

Thanks @MMMM and @akaManny for the info/discussion regarding when points are assumed to be posted, added to the top of the main posting:
STB 2018 - Awarding Points - Key Dates:

  • "If you qualified, you will receive your Bonus Miles at the end of January 2018" (per banner at top of STB 2018 website)
  • "We’ll add up the number of offers you used and award your Bonus Miles in February 2018" (per STB 2018 website FAQ, Q&A #1)
  • "Allow up to 90 days after the Event Period for Bonus Miles to be posted to your Account" (per the T&C's)
  • "will be deposited into your Collector Account, based on your current balance preference, within 120 days after the promotion ends" [after Apr 13, 2018 per my calculations] (per STB 2018 website FAQ, Q&A #4)

Thanks @PointsHubby for pointing out the maximum 120 days and suggesting when to contact the AM CRT if STB BAMs not posted yet, changed the date from "Mar 14, 2018" to "after Apr 13, 2018":
Issues With Missing STB Points After Apr 13, 2018:

Contact (or have the Air Miles agent transfer you to) the Air Miles Collector Relations Team at 1-888-413-1311 or 416-228-6627 for resolution within 5 business days (thanks @Erumuh for the info in post #1719).
Note: If anyone does not receive their 300/1000/2000 points by Apr 13, 2018, you can try calling the Collector Relations Team on Apr 14, 2018 but may have to wait until Apr 16, as Apr 14 is a Saturday. Just a heads-up.
