The 25 miles just posted tonight, fingers crossed for the remaining 50.
So here is another question: for us repeaters, does it still count as 1 of the 5 offers? Samsung did modify their rules to allow 5 accounts linked with 1 AM card this time.

My ASSUMPTION is as Samsung adjusted their rules (to up to 5 Samsung Accounts) ... it still would be a VALID PARTNER COUNT ... but prob not net as many Offer BAMs for a Repeater as it would for a NEW Sign Up (25 vs 75 BAMs )

But honestly ... hard to know about ACTUAL PARTNER COUNTS ... until we hear from Repeaters & their POSTING RESULTS for those that did exactly just 5 Offers (vs doing 6 or 7 MMs Offers as insurance)

If I only get 300 AMs instead of 1000 AMs, I'll certainly be talking to customer service, cause it definitely feels as though it "counted" as an offer, based on how it was written.

Ya I am with you ... it was certainly presented as a valid offer for multiple use ... and would therefore count each time as a PARTNER COUNT

But the fine print from the T&Cs sure is ambiguous / leaves one less than confident
Limit of one offer and one Collector Number per Samsung Account to a maximum of 5 Samsung Accounts per Collector Number

August 19 when I received the base miles and AMS 50BAM MM bonus. I used AMS for another account and entered coupon code to the order for another account. I got AMS 50BAM long ago, but nothing from Staples for MM bonus

For me IGA posted earlier this week (actually it lloks like it's Rachelle Berry that posted as IGA), but Shell posted Today.
I can't afford to buy cheap stuff. Always on lookout for deals on quality goods and services.

I got my Samsung Pay miles posted (first time using Samsung Pay ever).
25 miles dated Aug 28
25 miles dated Sep 7
(Both marked as "Standard Offer" as per attached)

When I did the opt-in, I also saw in my Airmiles app an offer for 75 (I think) BAMs for using Samsung Pay 3x, no specification if I have to use 3 unique cards.
Not sure if you guys got this, too.

Samsung doesn’t do the best job in defining all the offers that line up under the header ... SAMSUNG PAY
Esp so when it comes to AMs BIG BONUS Events like MegaMiles 2020

The 75 BAMs from MMs (and the REQUIRED PARTNER COUNT)
Comes from linking up your AMs # to a Samsung Account
And based on history ... Samsung then Reports & POSTS those BAMs not in one go ...
But rather in more than one BATCH POST (usually as 25 + 50)

Additionally ... if you then use the Samsung Pay Option (the wallet)
To use your AMs Card at Partners
You earn up to an additional 25 AMs per week ...
BUT THIS IS A TOTALLY OPTIONAL FEATURE / SEPARATE REGULAR OFFER
AND ... NOT A REQUIREMENT FOR THE AMs BIG BONUS EVENTS

All these 25 Miles ... These are the STANDARD EVERYDAY OFFERS
https://rewards.airmiles.ca/merchandise/splash/samsung/

The MMs Offer, pays out an extra 50 BAMs ...

Until you see those ... you cannot check this PARTNER COUNT off your list as done

I think for the first time since I started doing these big promotions all of my bonus miles have posted. I only did 3 offers for 300 bams.
1. LCBO 20 bams posted
2. Shell in store 5 bams posted
3. Air Mile Shops/Lowes 50 bams posted today.

There are no thread for Quebec's Les Marches Tradition, but I spent $40+ there, and received the 10 mega bonus miles today.

As of today (Sep 29), I'm still only seeing the 25 AMs x 2 related to Samsung.
25 miles dated Aug 28
25 miles dated Sep 7
(Both marked as "Standard Offer")

I was looking around, and found this page: Get Miles in a snap, 25 miles + 25 miles per week with Samsung Pay.
This could explain how some of us got miles posted in batches of 25?
Hope this does not cause confusion in the system with regards to MM, I don't want to have to phone Airmiles to bring up this issue if possible.

There will be no confusion.

Cuz in order to use the Samsung Pay Option (wallet)
And get credited on a weekly basis
You have to have created a Samsung Account, and linked your AMs Card

It just is a coincidence that the Samsung Pay Weekly Max is 25 BAMs
Which is the same REGULAR RATE for linking your AMs Card to your Samsung Account
(The Page you found)

And ... that Samsung will BATCH POST any BAMs for MMs 2020

So the sign up / link up will Show 25 AirMiles first
Then BAMs later for the related BIG BONUS Event
For MegaMiles 2020 ... that’s an additional 50 BAMs
