Ontario - LCBO - Various Product Offers & BAMs (Dec 1st thru Dec 27th)

Thanks for doing all that work.

If LCBO is STB partner #6 or #7, it's worth $21.05 (200AM) + $1.58 (15AM)-$2.11 (20AM) = $22.63-$23.16 which is not bad for $26-$33 worth of alcohol. If STB partner #4 or #5, the STB bonus is $26.31.

I find it weird they made the last 2 worth less (I understand they may have felt 2000AM was too much for 7, surprised they didn't make it 300-700-1200 or something).

Thanks @PointsHubby

Source is the STB website... Is that what you mean? You might have to refresh your webpage or delete your cache if you don't see them.

As always, the LCBO doesn’t disappoint
There are some good products on this list too
Still though happy with what I did buy from List # 1 in November
And ... it’s already DONE & POSTED

I know they're not paying us to take it (always the goal, e.g. as with Lowes/Rona/RD PL Premium offer) but it looks to me like the cheapest (Chilean) offer ends up at $2.57 for 2 bottles, if I count LCBO as partner #6 or #7 (so only 200AM for LCBO -- would be 250AM if #4 or #5).

Am I doing the math right? It's actually a $1.35/bottle MM (Money Maker) if I could count LCBO as 250AM (but I'm already at 5 partners so really it's 200AM. I feel like I"m missing something, not sure what.

Thanks.

Lol, I love your math reasoning.

Figuring out the pros & cons to adding on another STB 2019 Offer / Challenge Done to the actual money you’ve outlayed vs the pay back in BIG BONUS BAMs using I assume the Standard AMs Cash Miles Value (95 AMs = $ 10)

But to be honest, I think most RFDers don’t do this

Some of us may just look for the cheapest options thru the list of STB PARTNER OFFERS in our Province / Region

While others, like me...

Just go about most of our November & December lead up to Christmas / Holiday Shopping as we would pretty much do anyhow ... and just stay aware of the various STB PARTNER OFFERS where it makes sense

I know for example these offers come around every year ... and I will want to buy stuff on my BMO AMs Mastercard
So that one gets done for sure

BONUS ... if I can double dip it with other STB offers
Like a GC at Shell for the LCBO
Then a bottle of booze from there that’s on their STB List = triple dip

Or buy presents on AirMiles Shops.ca = Double Dip
BONUS if I can triple dip by shopping online with other AirMiles Partners & their STB Offers
(Lowes, Rona, Staples, The Children’s Place)

Groceries is a given ... Metro, Sobey’s, IGA Quebec
BONUS if I buy with my BMO CC
Or can stack the STB Offers with other Weekly Grocery Store Bonus Miles

Pharmacy ... I plan for a little more strategically to get the best deals
Plus this is more of a special trip to Rexall, or Jean Coutu
Again BONUS if I buy with my BMO CC
Or can stack the STB Offers with other Weekly Grocery Store Bonus Miles

End result ... I seem to always end up with 7+ STB Offers met / DONE
I have bought little to nothing that I wasn’t gonna buy anyhow
The hard part is just coordinating it all ... and watching the flyers etc
For the best deals on the stuff I want to buy anyhow
(But this I do year round, there’s just more stuff on sale during this time of year ... like all the Black Friday Sales & comparing prices)
AND... to actually REMEMBER to use the coupons or codes so everything STACKS neatly

In the end I tend to end up easily getting thru the STB PARTNER COUNT
And a nice pile of Base Miles & Bonus Miles from STB PARTNERS
And a good start to the following year with the STB BIG BONUS BAMs

Actually, what’s really time consuming is cross referencing all these Miles to my AMs Mile Tracking Spreadsheet
So I know what’s DUE - PENDING / PARTIALLY POSTED - or FULLY POSTED
That’s my biggest headache

My Goal ... it isn’t 7 PARTNERS = 1200 BIG BONUS BAMs per se
It’s more along
Making Onyx Annually ... and trying to get to 10,000+ AMs a year
That’s over $ 1000 in savings ... that I get to use for Travel

Just went to LCBO and it didn't show any bonus AMs on my receipt. Is that right?

AM (STB, bonus or otherwise) never show on the receipt, but in my experience post the next day.

This

BTW @crazyqqq the info you sought was posted right in the OP ... just below COUPON STATUS

COUPON STATUS - No coupon is required.

Air Miles do not show up on your receipt but usually posted very quickly after the transaction.

anyone tried the tin cup whiskey?
