    I know we can't cash in Air mile Rewards at the grocery store at the moment but can we still collect Air Miles? When I phoned the store the Manager said he thinks so but unsure. He said they should know on Friday when people start shopping and it shows on their receipt but how can it if Inquiry is unavailable? Said the balance inquiry has been doing this since Air Miles sent out the letter about this. How will we know if we get Air Miles on Blue Friday ? Thanks anyone for any help

    ***On the Air Miles site it does say we can still collect. Just frustrating that it does not show up when we shop.

    I just shopped this afternoon and my receipt had an airmiles section that said Total Miles earned on it. Underneath was the -001 Balance Inquiry unavailable. So it just doesn't show what you have in the Dream/Cash balances.

    Thanks, Tommy! Glad I can make it this month, a few things on there I want. The syrup seems like a great deal, and the green giant veggies.

    OB - We don't collect Dream Miles anymore unless we have specific rewards in mind. Our points collection strategy has changed since the devaluation happened a number of years ago plus that fact that Dreams Miles doesn't usually offer good value on flights. We still keep a good balance of Dream Miles in our account in case of deep discounted promotion. Our travels are now paid by credit cards/airlines points which offers wider range of choice and booking window in our case. We are heading to Asia this summer, flying on premium economy on some legs and staying at hotel for 3 weeks, all paid by points. Earning Cash Miles helps us to save money to pay for taxes on flight tickets which is not covered by airlines rewards program. If AM doesn't sort out the redemption issue, I'll need to re-evaluate our strategy again.
    En,

    Instead of doing crosswords in the morning been doing online surveys while having coffee. Running off $2-$3,000/year.

    We're planning on a trip to the UK when my wife retires. At the moment have more than enough for 1 return air (tax incl.) in my PayPal account and about $1,500 in credit card points to pay for the accommodations there! ;-)

    Well even though Airmiles dropped Best Western gift cards I managed to figure out a way to turn survey points in to Hyatt GCs in $US. Nothing better than staying at a Hyatt for less than I'd have paid cash for at BW. Further, I go through EeekBaits first and get a kickback. ;-)

    Also have enough points on my Starbuck's card for 10 free anythings (which will be Venti Frappaccinos after hot summer bike rides). Funny thing though, never paid for any of the coffees in the first place to get the free ones!

    Movies, Swiss Chalet, Groupon credits, Amazon (Canada & US), etc.

    Just bought this biking shirt with survey points at Amazon US:

    Initially wasn't planning to shop on Blue Friday.
    Bought 16 pancake mix and a few other things. Chose Purex toilet paper rather Blue Friday Charmin.
    Still have $43 left on safeway gc from late last yr.
    Spent $104 and got 640 am.

    Will donate 8 boxes of pancake mix to food bank. Nobody in Canada should go hungry.

    Cheers.

    The Cadbury deal is great on the eggs 99 cents each.
    the charmin looked like a bad deal. When I looked at the packages it seems they have 1/2 the sheets per roll as purex
