I wonder if these exclusive Shell offers are due to people going to the Shell website on the gas receipt and doing their survey and not exclusively via AirMiles. Is there any extra value in doing their surveys?

Not sure exactly what will happen, but if it were me I would not count it as my 7th, I’d do an extra one for sure.

I'm done with 7 for 2 accounts, but nothing has posted yet. For some of the retailers, I did the offer 2x just to be sure. Those are items that I was going to purchase anyway.

1st Account

1.) IGA - Spend 95 miles
Did 2x, Coupon 115 on receipt

2.) Jean Coutu - Spend 85 for $10, increments of 85
Spent 170 points (85 x 2), nothing on receipt

3.) Samsung Pay - Add AM to account

4.) AirMilesShops - Spend 100+
Did 2x in Amazon, but I might return an item making this just 1, not yet posted

5.) IGA Express - Spend $15+
Coupon 120 Airmiles en prime shop the Block IGA Express on receipt

6.) Pitou Minou & Compagnons (Global Pet Food) - Spend 50+
Air-Miles Promo $50 10 Bonus Air-Miles on receipt

7.) RONA - Use 285 AM points, increments of 285
Used 285 AM, nothing on receipt

2nd Account

1.) IGA - Spend 95 miles
Coupon 115 on receipt

2.) Jean Coutu - Spend 85 for $10, increments of 85
Spent 170 points (85 x 2), nothing on receipt

3.) Samsung Pay - Add AM to account

4.) AirMilesShops - Spend 100+
Spent 100+ in Amazon, not yet posted

5.) IGA Express - Spend $15+
Coupon 120 Airmiles en prime shop the Block IGA Express on receipt

6.) Pitou Minou & Compagnons (Global Pet Food) - Spend 50+
Air-Miles Promo $50 10 Bonus Air-Miles on receipt

7.) RONA - Use 285 AM points, increments of 285
Used 285 AM, nothing on receipt

Number 8 for both will be Les Marchés Tradition, all for Holiday celebrations. Number 9 will be HBC, I already did this before but I will attempt to do it again. I will probably purchase 2x $100 from AirMilesShops, if there are things that I still need to buy.

I would agree. This happened to me before, and it wasn't counted in the end.

Edit: I meant to say that it wasn't counted.

All my paperwork said the cake was 25.99. Cashier said it must be on sale this week. (it is). Told her I didn't care I wanted to pay the 25.99 so that I could use my coupon (bigger picture). Supervisor told her to ring in an additional $2 (bakery) and give me the cash. I told them I didn't want the cash I was happy to pay the 25.99 for the cake but I wanted to use the coupon. She entered the coupon and 50AM popped up on the receipt. Of note: the top of the receipt says "Bonus offer" but it doesn't specifically mention PLU 83912. The 50AM are there so I guess it worked. Will need someone else who tries this to verify that's how there's worked also.

I should add by the time I questioned the $23.99 a line was now forming behind me at the cash. I apologized a few times to the people in line.
Hi there,

I've just tried to look through all of the pages after your post here, and didn't see this ever revisited. By any chance, did you determine for sure that this worked for you OK? I'm nervous - i've just placed an order for a cake that I'm picking up next week. I don't think I've ever done one like this where this is no coupon but a PLU for cashier to enter. Did you see the miles posted in your account yet and/or has anyone let you know that what you saw on your receipt was the same as what they saw as well? Thanks in advance for your help/guidance!

Incredibly annoying. I already have two different orders done over $100 for the StB promo so that should be covered, but this was 240 miles with the 5x+15x airmiles promo on BF that I might have to fight for if this exchange voided them. Even if they only discount the miles for the exchanged item, that's 100 miles.

After you sign up, order the first week available (to ensure the bonus AM get posted within the promo period -Dec 27)

You can immediately “skip delivery” for up to the next 5-6 weeks... then decide if you want to cancel... or log in once a month and keep skipping...
Thanks, skipping right away is a good move as they would charge me for the second box the same day the first box arrives.

I had the bonus AM post to my account. It posted like this:

17 Nov 18 METRO METRO VIEWMOUNT PLAZA BONUS REWARD MILES ON PRODUCT +50
17 Nov 18 METRO METRO VIEWMOUNT PLAZA 1 REWARD MILE PER $20 +1

The 50 AM posted under the reward miles column not the bonus airmiles column. The receipt just had the words Bonus Airmiles +50 on it not mention of the PLU code. I've kept copies of my order as well as my receipt just in case. Others who have purchased using this coupon report similar postings.

Doesn't hurt to explain the situation using Live Chat and see what they say. My airmilesshops transaction got split into 2 charges of <$100 each and the rep said she would make sure it would be counted. I saved the chat log in case to make it easier to fight for the BAM if anything.

Yes. This has been discussed before as a good way to do so.
It would be helpful if you read the posts instead of just asking the question again.

IGA and Jean Coutu have not posted the bonus miles on my accounts either. So long as you have coupon code 115 (for IGA) and a copy of your redemption email you can prove that you fulfilled the requirements of the coupon. I can't speak to any of the other offers you did as I didn't do them.

The Samsung BAM hasn't been posted in my account but got posted in my other account even though I did it on my account first. Anybody else having the same issue?

I went for the Rona offer (285AM against 30$) Yesterday (it's expired as of Today) and had the same result : nothing on receipt.

I also went to fill up 25L @ Shell, used the printed coupon even though I had opted in online, and got the 1 reg + 5 BAM on receipt with the mention for STB.

I did the HBC (new register), waited 5 days, opted for auto-convert and got zero email or confirmation.

For the IGA that I did a week and a half ago (use 190AM against 20$), the reg 1 AM posted Today, dated to 25 Nov, but no BAM posted. I do have the receipt, it does have the coupon code 115 but, again, I don't have a lot of confidence on that one, it never posted on previous similar promos.

Still nothing posted for Samsung either.
I can't afford to buy cheap stuff. Always on lookout for deals on quality goods and services.

Anyone know how long it takes for AM to post for purchase done through airmilesshops.ca? I purchased a $300 item through Amazon on BF but haven't seen anything yet.

same here - it is extremely irritating that there is no way to know if it's pending. If ebates and swagbucks can show shopping visits and pending money so quickly, why the heck can't airmiles??

Hey guys I was if you must opt in before doing the 25 transactions for BMO/AMEX offers or is it okay if you opt in AFTER completing the 25 transactions? I just did 25 $0.15 amazon gift card reload transactions yesterday but forgot to opt in
