Safeway's Sweet AirMiles Deals

Only wish the Safeway here would let me use more than 1 Soft Soap coupon. I got shut down every time no matter how I explained to the cashier what "one coupon per purchase" means.

That really sucks. I wonder what their problem is at your store wherever that is.

Selected Softsoap hand soap is 98 cents at Walmart. 2 cents cash back for every 1 you buy.

Ya, but I like longer vacations and places more off the "beaten path". Ugh I'm still so disgusted with airmiles. They basically just cut the value in half for most travel. It seems the westjet flights are still the base mile requirement. I found one trip through westjet, but their flight service is garbage and it wasn't somewhere I really wanted to go. It wanted me to layover one night in Calgary then one night in toronto and the same bloody thing on the way back. On top of all that they don't fly to as many destinations as Air Canada and their planes and service is worse than Air Canada. So it seems to me the only company Airmiles has now for "regular" flights is WestJet, because overseas flights are few destinations with insanely high service fees that make it pointless.

Air Miles is best used on short haul flights with lots of availability within Canada (within same zone and one/two zones over) or to the US and Mexico. I posted last Spring about how Air Miles is trying to devalue the Dream miles to 10.5 cents/AM so people move stop collecting Dream Miles and start collecting Cash Miles. I remember getting up to 30 cents/AM value on flights with the high taxes and fees and now I'm lucky to get 15 or 16 cents per AM on flights. I have seen some flight that only get 7-8 cents per AM recently. I still collect the Dream Miles and purchase at least two tickets to Mexico every year (sometimes we go twice) but I have my dates known well in advance. I booked two tickets to Cabo for Xmas in late February and still couldn't get the regular AM rate, so we are leaving a day later to save 600 AM per ticket and $140 for each of the cash tickets bought.

Last fall, I looked at AM flights to Amsterdam and the fees were $2 (YES $2) less than the entire ticket (return trip) if booked on Google Flights. That's not even counting the 4875 AM (with 25% discount) I would have to spend. That makes me mad!!!

Ya it has been similar for me. I just screwed up this last booking big time. I know for the overseas flights if they even fly to a overseas destination the "taxes" are so insanely high your better off just paying cash through like expedia or something. I used to travel overseas every winter, but the dollar has tanked so much the past two years. I used to use airmiles for domestic flights to Vancouver then fly out on a chinese airline from there. This past year I decided to go south and just use airmiles and take shorter vacations. I don't see the dollar going anywhere but down for quite sometime so I decided to do the same thing for next year and go for a shorter time. this upcoming vacation will be my shortest in 5 years. I'm still getting better value than airmiles cash and if I didn't get screwed/ screw myself on this last booking I would have gotten high value for my miles. With all that being said I did earn a lot less airmiles last year compared to previous years mostly due to the Safeway takeover and expect it to continue to get worse. For now I'm just going to focus on collecting airmiles and try to forget about my loss. I will see what happens next year and decide if I start to bail out on this program.

Looks like Friday only is the best day to shop: A few decent deals with the bonus friday only coupon and friday only deals. The cheese is a good deal.
Let me know if anyone notices anything great especially bonus airmiles offers that you can use coupons on.

Thanks.
Don't see any deal other than the cheese.

Putting two and two together, it looks like BMO's going to have a new Air Mile card soon that'll earn you strictly Air Mile CASH rewards. I did a credit card survey on the weekend that threw all kinds of hints at the idea. Then today I (I'm sure others here did too) received this email from Air Miles.

Dear BestNick, Something exciting is happening at BMO this spring and you're among the first to know. Look for exciting details coming very soon from BMO.
