I read the thread and understand that I can split the ticket purchase between 500GC and my CC. (when the ticket price is over $1000)
Did anyone actually try ordering ticket this way online, if yes was it easy?
Also, is this gift card considered "safe"? You can see from the SDM gift card thread that many GCs are unsafe - have magnetic strip exposed, no pin number, etc.
Safer cards are usually in a package that protects most of the bar code, have pin.
Safest cards are the ones that you can instantly go online and transfer the value to online account (like Amazon, Starbucks).
I am a bit worried about these cards that I would have to wait a while before actually using it.

There's always a risk. Spend it right away or pick a gift card behind the counter.

In that case, maybe best to use these GCs for on board duty free purchases...that is if it's allowed?

Since this offer is only on for 1 week and I'm not seeing it in the current Thrifty Foods (BC) flyer, I would assume they are not participating.
If this offer went on for 2 weeks, there is the possibility that the deal would appear in some Empire Co Ltd stores in the first week's flyers and others in the second week's flyers.
I would recommend calling Thrifty Foods Customer Care (1-800-667-8280) and ask if they're participating but not advertising.

Just bought $500. Discount applied automatically on their POS screen once the cashier loaded the card. ($50 discount)
Got 20 some odd air miles and a coupon for 15c off gas as well. Combine that with credit card cash back and this is relatively hot if you've got a trip to book.

Was this from a Sobeys or an Urban Fresh? Sometimes the air miles are given on gift cards at one but not the other.

Bought $500 today. Just FYI, the gift card is not sealed, but it does have a PIN hidden by a scratch area. Also, to check the balance online, you need the postal code tied to your credit card. So I assume you'd need that to use the card as well. Seems pretty secure.

Saved over $200 using the gift cards to purchase 4 tickets. Unfortunately I had to do 4 separate bookings since each of the tickets was roughly $600. The agent on the phone was very helpful and did it all for me with no issues, and he linked the bookings indicating that the people are travelling together.
Yes, I do not have insurance etc that I would normally have if I were to use the credit card, but these are direct flights so I don't expect that to be an issue (in fact I have never used CC insurance due to a delayed flight/lost luggage).
To reiterate, you can only use 2 forms of payment which does include 2 gift cards, meaning you can only use 2 gift cars, or 1 gift card/1 CC.
Also in my case, since the ticket was $600, it did not make sense for me to use the masterpass deal since it would send me a $60 eGift card to use at a later time. I would rather save %10 now (and more +4% for the grocery cashback).

LOL, it's Air Canada... What do they do that doesn't have a fee connected? I'm waiting for the next announcement that they will charge a fee to use the flight attendant call button in the plane. You know, people pressing that button should be charged as they are diverting flight attendants from helping everyone to focus on one person, shouldn't that person have to pay since they are inconveniencing everyone else?

AC really wants us to not earn aeropesos anymore.
