National - AIRMILESSHOPS.CA - 50 BAMs WUS $100 or more in a single transaction (Nov 14th to Dec 27th)

Got 2 base miles. No bonuses yet.

Also, over the course of STB, made at least 10 other purchases that qualify for the 50 bonus miles through airmilesshops portal.

If you made 10 other purchases that show at least 5 base miles, then you should get the bonus 50, or at least it will be easy to get it applied via chat. Though I hope you know that you would only get one 50 bonus, no matter how many >$100 before tax purchases you made.

EDIT: I get it now, you mean Staples gives you 1AM per $40 spent, not AMS. I thought AMS was also giving 1AM per $40 spend, but that does not seem to be the case.

Has a record of this transaction

It’s “technically early” in the scheme of things to be filing a Missing Miles Report
For ANY of the Bonus Miles owed (be it the Multiplier or the 50 BAMs)
BUT ... I think in this case I would
Use LIVE CHAT or PHONE in
Ask them what’s going on
Tell them al you’ve said here
And that others on RFD have gotten their 50 BAMs
Meanwhile you have neither that or even the straight up Multiplier BAMs

Worse case ... they’ll blow you off until the 60 / 90 Day mark
Citing their rules on POSTING for AMShops purchases

Keep us posted

PS ... if they MANUAL POST any Miles be sure and get them to make a note on your file ... WHY
So hopefully you won’t have to call in later to get the 7th PARTNER COUNT as well for any Missing BB BAMs

AMShops is 1 AM / $ 20

If one shops @ Staples via AMShops website
Then you can double dip

(5 Partner Counts vs 7 )

Guessing you may have also went direct to the AirMiles Shops.ca to make your purchase then
And not via the STB 2019 AirMiles Shops.ca Offer Link (aka STB Portal)
On the STB 2019 website

It’s a common error
But can cause a lot of headaches for folks later needing to chase down miles & partner counts

The PORTALS are an IMPERATIVE part of the process
To getting things to POST quickly & correctly ... the first time
During Big Bonus Events

So let's say I didn't use the portal, is it still worthwhile to contact AirMiles customer service to try to get those 400 + 50 (AMS) + 5 ($20 per point) BAMS? I don't really want to waste time contacting them unless I can get the 455 BAMs ($45.50 worth) for sure... and for people who tried contacting AirMiles customer service, was it quick and painless or super tedious?

Did 8 offers, they screwed up airmilesshops purchase and rexall. Rexall was posted for 20 miles but not as STB, airmilesshops there never was a record or anything like I mentioned in the thread a couple weeks ago

Also still have not got a couple of the other personalized bonus offers through BMO etc
