Date Sponsor Description Reward Miles Bonus
18 Nov 17 SOBEYS ONTARIO DUPONT BONUS REWARD MILES +10 --> Product bous
18 Nov 17 SOBEYS ONTARIO DUPONT BONUS REWARD MILES +60 --> STB, bought $60 in groceries and added Netflix gift card for extra 40 miles
18 Nov 17 SOBEYS ONTARIO DUPONT BONUS REWARD MILES +7 --> Loaded offer
18 Nov 17 SOBEYS ONTARIO DUPONT BONUS REWARD MILES +10 --> Loaded offer
18 Nov 17 SOBEYS ONTARIO DUPONT STANDARD OFFER +6 --> Base miles

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. Thanks OP @trystee for keeping on top of things and updating the first post.

I finished my 7 today.
1. HBC - Redeemed miles for eGC (offer expired) - 10 bonus miles not credited yet
2. Sobeys - Get 20 Bonus Miles when you spend $60 or more
3. LCBO - wine
4. Rexall - spend $25+
5. Metro redemption - 25 bonus miles not credit yet
6. LCBO - gin
7. Use your American Express®* AIR MILES® Card for 25 purchase transactions in-store or online - Reloads on Amazon gift card and paid my Rogers bill in multiple transactions.
8. Going to redeem at Sobeys as my safety

Thanks for the tip on using rogers to make the 25 transactions!! I was wondering how I was going to hit 25.

Has anyone tried IGA online? There's no indication in my receipt regarding receiving the bonus miles or STB. I ordered during the CM promo, but T&C didn't mention anything about combining offers. It just says limit of one Bonus Offer per purchase. Should I just wait for it to be posted?

the HBC to Airmiles conversion one offer is a sketchy one, better to do another one to be safe.

Just came from Shell, my receipt shows the Promo 940 at the top and the Shop the Block 10 AM at the bottom, total 10+2 = 12 AMs
Hope this helps, I have the same on the older receipt from Shell (first offer, valid 14 Nov - 27 Nov)

has anyone shopped at microsoftstore through airmilesshop.ca and received the bonus miles in the account yet? I am not concerned about hitting 3 different stores (already passed 3) and other stores seemed to update the bonus miles very quickly. My MS purchase the day before BF day still not updates with miles while I received the laptop 2 days ago. It was > $1200 so there would be a lot of miles I missed if I screwed up or MS just slow updating the miles

The general consensus on here is yes. This transaction also included the chocolate bars but I must of bought 1 wrong flavour that it did not show up on the receipt. View the first page and note down the PLU for each offer. Make sure cashier scans each coupon. Then on receipt verify PLU.

I did all mine at a regular Sobeys. Not urban fresh, not extra stores just to be sure.

Good luck getting your miles with big amount purchase. Every time I tried to take advantage of the 10x 15x 20x promotion with a larger amount purchase, I got nothing. Contacted customer support, they gave you the BS about waiting for 75 days, and ended up saying I didn't go through the proper steps blah blah blah......

Too bad I still fell for it this time, waiting for my eBay and Dell miles.... both over $1000 purchases.

damn, so it was the amount and not the store? My dell purchase (Logitech KB) $24.99 came in like the next day with 24 miles in total (10x from Dell and 15x from AMS)

All my other smaller amount purchases from Amazon, Lowes, The Source all showed up within 48 hours, but no sign of the large amount from eBay and Dell yet. Used the same computer, same browser.

In last couple years, I only succeed once getting my base and bonus points back with eBay purchases after contacting AirMiles, out of maybe 6, all larger amount.

But maybe it's me..... good luck with your Microsoft Store purchase.

Confusing about the number of the airmiles collection.
I shopped 3 different online store through airmileshops.ca . Amazon.ca ( 43 CAD) iNDIGO (27 CAD) EBAY (124 CAD)
Today, I got my points:
1 Reward mile for every $20 +1 airmile
5x Your Reward Miles +4
15x Your Reward Miles +14

Don't know how they calculate it, 15x pts, the number cames up 14 airmiles pts. Also, which airmiles points to which purchase, no clue at all.


Another question is the points from the Children place, on the receipt, I can see the cashier enter the couple code 327CP10X. However, in airmiles my account, It shows up got 2 Airmiles from the Children Place, not 20 airmiles.

Where is my bonus points?

Thanks advance

That is correct regarding bonus miles from AMS.ca
15x is actually 14x (excluding base miles)
5x is actually 4x (excluding base miles)
so you have 1 base mile, 4 for 5x and 14 for 15x

they take away the base mile from both multiplier, so 5X and 15X is really just 19X, not 21X base mile as normal people like you and me might interpret.

15X your reward miles +14 (you have already got the 1 reward miles for every $ 20 +1 airmile)
if you check your AM online, you should be able to see the store name, similar to this:
Nov 17 AIRMILESSHOPS.CA THE BODY SHOP CANADA

for children place, they post your bonus miles separately last year (not sure if it is the same for this year)

we should get email confirmation of the auto conversion and hopefully 10 bonus miles in the account soon, then that would be very clear evidence to fight any dispute right?

Two questions:

1) For Shell can I buy fuel plus lottery to get to $50?

2) For Sobey's can I use the chocolate/taco offer and redeem $10 for 95 airmiles(and get 25 back) at the same time?
