EARLY BIRD TIPS TO REMEMBER
(Also see TIPS & TRICKS in Reply # 1 below)
These AirMiles BIG BONUS Events are more like a Treasure Hunt
Than a race to the finish line **
So often it’s a case of slow & steady (and informed) wins biggest vs those who don’t take the time to plan their strategy.
READING & FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS is truly the largest portion of the success in completing the Offers & Challenges and then seeing the BIG BONUS Miles you hoped for actually POST in a timely fashion.
So be sure & READ & FOLLOW the HOW TO USE instructions (click thru) on each Offer on the STB 2019 Website to see the fine print
* The click thrus are very important... as they often the access to the STB Portal so the offer works the first time
(Versus just going direct to a Partners Website)
* When Offers say Coupons Required
Or fellow RFDers recommend them...
It’s best to use Printed Coupons as they work better at many Partners than Digital versions
Printed coupons can be either ones off the STB 2019 Website, or the ones in STB 2019 Booklets (be aware though that the Booklets are sponsored so don’t have all the offers ... just a fraction of the full list that’s on the website)
AND ... hard copy coupons are usually your best bet vs digital ones (where you use your phone for scanning) ... as some Retailers who participate in STB wont even be set up to scan Digital Coupons... they’ll want hard copies / paper to stick in their cash registers.
** NOTE
In past AMs BIG BONUS Events it was found that some Partner Offers did not POST correctly in the first few days
So if you can... it might be wise to wait out a few days before attacking your list of Offers full on
Long run bonus ... Fewer PARTNER COUNTS missing, or Missing Miles to chase down as the weeks wear on, and after the event is over
Remember ... AirMiles has up to 120 Days AFTER an event to POST MILES
STB 2019 ends on December 27, 2019 + 120 Days = 4 Months = End of April 2020
HOWEVER ... sometimes things all fall into place swimmingly for those who have followed the instructions to a tee
And they see all their Base Miles + Bonus Miles POSTED within 30 DAYS / end of January
And like STB 2018 ... got their BIG BONUS MILES at the 45 DAY MARK
Was a great Valentines
Day present from AirMiles
So take the time to plan out your strategy
READ & FOLLOW DIRECTIONS
Have your ducks in a row (Portals or Coupons to tow)
And things will probably go smoothly
So by the end of April you’ll be doing something other than following up on STB 2019

3 PARTNER Offers = 300 BIG BONUS BAMs
5 PARTNER Offers = 800 BIG BONUS BAMs
