You can book departure/return trips separately, but they'll be considered one-way fares, which typically cost a lot more than return fares.A0958824316 wrote: ↑ For international roundtrip above $1,000 ($500 GC x2), could you book going and returning separately, so you can you use up to 4 gift cards for the trip?

Do the gift cards expire at any time and is there any fee involved with activation or not using it for a while in the terms?

CC covers so many different travel insurance that it isn't worth 10% savings imo.
Last March I was stuck in Osaka due to snowstorm in Toronto. Had to fight with UA counter (not AC but still somewhat same tier airline lol) to get myself a next day flight - initially was a 2 day delay. But still they refused to provide me any accommodation or meals due to weather delay (aka not their fault). TD aeroplan visa infinite covered it all. Over $300 money back. Those travel insurances are invaluable even for the simplest conditions.

I think it depends. Most of the time you are probably right, but if the person is traveling direct flight within NA, and planning to book now/very soon, it might be worth it.eeto wrote: ↑ CC covers so many different travel insurance that it isn't worth 10% savings imo.

Also some people have very simple credit cards that doesn't come with a good travel insurance.

I went to get these GCs at the Laird/Eglinton Sobeys in TO... there was a dragon lady at the CS desk (which is where these are kept) who limited the purchase to two GCs maximum.

Strange, I wonder if it's the first three characters of the postal code? My home postal code worked but both would have the first three characters.footmark wrote: ↑ Thanks OP. Bought a few GCs on the weekend.
When checking the GC balance on Air Canada's website, it required the card #, pin and the postal code of Sobeys store where I purchased the GC from. It doesn't tell you what postal code you have to enter from the website. I tried my home's postal code and it didn't work, then the postal code of the Sobeys store and it work. I have to Google the store's postal code, it is not on the receipt.

There were 20+ at the Heritage Sobeys when I went on Sunday. Took me a while to find it on the gift card rack but it was fully stocked.globalize9 wrote: ↑ Did anyone find any in Edmonton AB?? Called the one closest to me, the lady was clueless even after I pointed out the flyer =(

Went to Sobeys Barrhaven and they were out of gift cards, went to the one in Kanata after and the lady told me all the Sobeys in Ottawa were sold out. I then went to a Rexall to pick up a prescription and noticed they had Air Canada gift cards. I took two off the shelf and went back to Sobeys, and they activated no problem. Flight booked, saved $97 and got 4% rewards on my Amex. Thanks OP!

Hi I have a travel coming soon. In addition to this, Amex reward is offering $500 Air Canada gift card for 65,000 points. Is it a good deal. Any advise will be greatly appreciated!
