wow, that would make it a really great deal, only really having to buy 4 2L and then getting the 2 fanta free with coupons! and the airmiles.
I have a quick question for the OP (or anyone who can answer), can I do the airmiles offers more than once in a transaction,
ie: could i buy 18 Coke products and get 150 airmiles? or can I only do each offer once.

Thanks Operabob. We were thinking of going with Best Western. Now I know to go with the giftcards. It really helps.
I can't wait to use the Coke promo as well. In Red Deer we get 15% off tuesday. So even better. I also have a few coupons too incase the store doesn't have them.

Omg, I bought the exact same set of pop on Saturday at Safeway (10 bottles of 2L and got 5 bottles of 1.5L Fanta for free) I got 100 AM only too...I went to the customer service and they told me I only get AM for the 10 bottles of 2L and they will add the other 20 AM manually later. I tried to argue I should get 180 AM (for the 15 bottles in total) but they insist Fanta is not part of the AM offer (even though there's the tag under the Fanta price tag)
I was thinking of calling Safeway customer service but now I guess I won't if they consider the promo as a typo in the flyer...

Can anyone tell me the best way to redeem my air miles for a 1 week car rental? Is it better just to redeem for the $100 Budget gift Certificates or call air miles and rent a car?

Being your basic obsessive compulsive I decided to revisit values and checked as many gift card/certificates as I could. I by no means got them all. The following list picks the highest value possible as some cards reduce the number of AirMiles needed to make a purchase for larger valued cards. Being smart shoppers that's what we'd do.
Here are many values:
Fashion
Banana Republic 13.5
Danier 13.8
GAP 13.7
HBC/Z 12.5
IRIS 16.0
Roots 16.0
Sport Chek 12.5
Sunglass Hut 14.3
Talbots 13.8
Health, Food & Beverage
Metro 12.2 (Has this dropped?)
CARA (Milestones,Swiss Chalet, Montanas, Moxie's, Harvey's) 12.7
Boston Pizza 12.7
Earl's 13.0
Jean Coutu 12.5
Kernel's 13.5
Lawton's 14.3
PharmaSave 14.3
Rexall 11.9
Spas Relais Sante 14.7
Starbuck's 12.5
Keg 13.1
Sports and Entertainment
Cineplex and Empire Movie Night for 2 17.1 (based on $30 total package)
Cineplex 2 for 1 33.0 approx.
Empire 2 for 1 40.0 approx.
iTunes 12.5
Montreal Symphonie 13.3
Blue Jays 14.7
Home, Reading & Renos
Botanix 13.3
Chapters 13.7
Pier 1 13.7
Reno-Depot & Rona & Tim-Br Mart 13.3
Staples 11.11
Automotive
Shell 11.43
Vitro Plus Glass 14.3
Financial
$100 to an RESP 16.0
Travel Certificates
Car Rentals Canada (several) 15.4
Best Western 13.3
Club Voyages 13
Delta Hotels 13.7
Hilton Hotels 12.5
Marlin, etc. 13.0
Via Rail 14.3
Not included: City Pass (each city has to be calculated individually but as I recall they were above 20.0 last time I looked).
The list is by no means exhaustive but only 4 of the above 47 are in the 12.0 range:
Shell 11.43
Staples 11.11
Rexall 11.9
Metro 12.2
23 of 47 (almost exactly half) are 13.5 or above therefore I feel 14.0 is a reasonable and cautious average in Valuing AirMiles. (Yes, I accounted for multiples).

I don't exchange for products. Rather I go for Zellers gift cards and buy there if needed.
You can also do well exchanging for AirFlights but it varies tremendously depending on date, time and where you're coming/going to:
Decided to look at a few flights just to get a sense of value.
1. Opted for a regional and major centre comparison
2. Short haul and longer haul.
3. Picked June 1 as a start date and June 8 as a return.
4. Looked at the full week from June 1 - June 7 and June 8 - 14 as prices vary wildly depending on the day and time of day you travel. I opted for the cheapest flight on each day.
A. Williams Lake to Medicine Hat return
1200 AMs needed (I believe that's return)
Total cost ranged from $551 to $1040 depending on the day of travel
AirMile valuations range from $0.46/AM ( $551/1200) to $0.87/AM. ($1040/1200)
B. Vancouver to Medicine Hat return
1200 AMs needed
Total cost ranged from $396 to $633 depending on the day of travel
AirMile valuations range from $0.33/AM ( $396/1200) to $0.53/AM. ($633/1200)
C. Vancouver to Toronto return
4225 AMs needed
Total cost ranged from $428 to $543 depending on the day of travel
AirMile valuations range from $0.10/AM ( $428/4225) to $0.13/AM. ($543/4225)
D. Williams Lake to Toronto return
Total cost ranged from $837 to $1591 depending on the day of travel
AirMile valuations range from $0.20/AM ( $837/4225) to $0.38/AM. ($1591/4225)

On the car rental I'd opt for the card and negotiate the price with the local office.
Sometimes you can call your local outlet 3 different times and get 3 different prices then pick the best price. Pick the best one.
If you can do it through AirMiles they'll charge the premium/rack rate is my guess.
I wouldn't buy the US cards. The AirMiles rate was set back when our dollar was $0.62. Not a good deal today.

don't think you've factored in the buy 40$ get 50 AM bonus that applies here in Thunder Bay-
Actually today's local paper indicated a RCSS will be moving in nearby. It's practically in the mid point of our 3 local Safeways so perhaps we'll start getting those deals too.
Have you got a PLU code for the offer?

There is a bar code on the card that they give us, but on the back it said Valid only in Thunder Bay--was supposed to have expired 12/31/09, but they did extend it to 6/30/2010, but no further extensions announced--but I cant see how they wouldn't--it drives so many extra purchases there (myself alone)!!!
Like two weeks ago--I bought 18 twelve packs of Diet Dr. Pepper and Crush (18 products each day for the 3 day special (deal was buy 3 for 11$ get 30 AM, and had the $2 off coupons when you bought 2) so out of pocket was about 165$ (55$ each day times three days), Total AM--696 (including the 3 of 40$ get you 50AM bonus, but no including AM on Amex AM card)...I know I spent 55$ instead of the 40, but 18 was an even number to use to max coupon usage. Anyhow --I will let you do the math (which I'd love to see, btw), but I think I did OK!!
