Safeway's Sweet AirMiles Deals

Greetings from India!
Just checking in to see what’s going on.
Got my 800 miles from the last Amex promo.
This country is interesting to put it politely.
Managed to see an elusive tiger in the wild yesterday after our third and last attempt.
Anyways looks like this should be a good week to rack up airmiles bummed I’ll miss it.
Take care and rake em up!

Oh ya and if you saw the reports of the Delhi smog we were “fortunate” enough to be there on the absolute worst day that was toxic! Pollution is real and it’s nasty. Thankfully I only had us there the one day and far away the next.

What an experience @Tommycoupons ! When you visit another country, makes you extra appreciate how good a country we live in.
Thanks for sharing.

Yup we won the lottery of life! If you’re looking for the cure of “Western” depression take a trip to India and then let me ask you “how bad does your life suck?”

Well as the program suffers a long painful death if you usually fly somewhere then dream miles are still better. However airmiles is trying their darndest to make the dream miles worth less

I will give this a try...Attachment 337041
Attachment 337042
Attachment 337043

That pic looks good! Any more?
Thank you :-)

Sorry, this is the best I can do, but it's a start

I sure hope it worked.

Sorry about the weird order and the sideways turns. I'd try to fix it, but that is pushing by abilities too far. :)

Awesome! Thank you for your time and effort!!

Depends how often you travel, esp short haul within Canada. I have found air mile reward flights are only good if you can fly short distance with West Jet and there are flights available. Long haul flights or with airlines other than WJ I have found to require way too many air miles.

I will have over 20k air miles soon and I wish I can convert at least 10k to cash miles. Be really good if air miles gets rid of cash miles/dream miles designation.

I prefer airmiles. Just in the past year alone, we have flown:
2 people from AB to Seattle (June)
1 person AB to BC, high (xmas)
2 people AB to QC, low (Feb)
3 people AB to ON, high (Aug)

The total value was so much better than if we had redeemed for cash miles.

Thanks to tips here have been converting to Sobey's e-Vouchers and buying Amazon gift cards.

Now the e-Certificate says, "Can't be used to purchase 3rd party gift cards."

Was just in Thrifty's trying to get $100 in Amazon GCs and no go. Supervisor called head office. They won't even let me buy a non 3rd party Sobey's GC with it.

B@$t@rd$!

My guess is when SHELL finally gets its act together we'll no longer be able to use AMs for GCs there either!

Sheeesh! What a group!

I think I did my 6th STB offer last night.

Did the Rexall spend $25 to get 15 bonus am yesterday. Rexall is great place to shop for am promos. Wish there is one closer to me though. Bought ~$39 worth of stuff - $5 coupon (for filling out survey) = ~$34 incl tax. Then got a $10 Rexall gift card under their spend $30 and get $10 gift card promo.

I will soon have ~25k air miles. Onyx status for another year.
