Sobeys buy 3 cadbury bars get bonus 20- on sake for $2.49 so $7.50 (3rd offer)

Sobeys buy 2 herbal shampoos $** not sure price.. but could combine with coupon buy two save $1.50 and get bonus 30miles (4th offer)

Rexall spend $50 get 100 miles back is just over $10 return... so maybe get milk/eggs/bread/toilet paper? (5th offer)

Sobeys taco/tortilla kit- $4.99 get 10 bonus miles (6th offer)

Sobeys $10 lunch meat and get 20 bonus (7th)

your opp wouldn't be much considering you need gas and grocery staples already!

If you have a foodland double one of the above offers... do a rexall spend $25 offer

For western experts, do coupons count towards spending total for Safeway, thrifty foods and rexall?

do the offers combine? If I purchase specified products at Sobeys and redeem/or spend over certain amount will I get points for the items and for redeeming or spending?

Is there a way to track these offers to make sure they count towards the promo? I have a booklet with coupons and would like to combine those coupons with this promo but not sure if both qualify in one transaction.

Made a list, have a plan....sort of. Did the gas today at Shell using my first coupon ( get 10 AM for $50.00 spend...I was just shy of $50.00 when I pumped fuel so bought a lottery ticket to reach and get the 10 AM )

Does the lottery ticket qualify? I rarely hit $40 to fill up as I have a small car. I am thinking gas plus car wash.

We in Ontario usually get the absolute worst air miles so this is very surprising, and welcome!

make sure to get one of this" shop the block " brochure at metro checkout, there's a coupon for get 25 miles when you use 95 miles at metro (Nov 23-26).... it's another effortless offer which I don't see it on the site.

I love your plan of attach but given the wording on the coupons I do not think the Spend XXX get XXX airmiles will stack and count for the offers for the STB.

It seems Metro had a redeem Nov 23-26, Sobeys and foodland has it Dec 1-14 so 3 redeems will count for 3 right there.

I need fuel so that will be an easy 4th one. Apparently the non Shell giftcards can be combined with the 25l fuel purchase as well.

I wonder how much you can combine offers??? For example, I was thinking of trying Shop the Block, Combine with Get My Offers, Combine with an Air Miles Insert I got in the mail with a bunch of Sobey's coupons.

My plan is for:
STB: Spend $100 Get 60 (Combine with Coupons, Has always counted before coupons when redeeming an AM offer)
STB: Redeem 95 AM Get 25
STB: 10 AM WUB Tia Rosa (Sobeys)
STB: 10 AM WUB Tia Rosa (Foodland)
STB: 20 AM WUB3 Maple Lodge Meats
STB: 30 AM WUB2 Herbal Essences
STB: 20 AM WUB3 Cadbury Family Bars
STB: Redeem 7 Offer, get 2,000 AM
AMI: Spend $50 Get 15
AMI: 7 AM WUB Aunt Jemima
AMI: 5 AM WUB2 Compliments Soups
AMI: 10 AM WUB Coca Cola Case
AMI: 5 AM WUB Barilla Pasta
AMI: Get 25 AM WUR 4 Product Coupons (Automatic)
GMO*: Spend $65 Get 25
GMO*: Compliments Soup (5AM?)
GMO*: Coca Cola Case (10AM?)
GMO*: Barilla Pasta (5AM?)
*Have gotten these offers in the past, an not planning on shopping until December, so will have to see what offers I get then
For a grand total of 2,287 Miles = $240
I think I could do this shop for about no more than $50 or $60, depending on how everything works out. At the very least, I will try to get 3 STB offers to get the 300AM easily (Redeem 95, Tia Rosa, and Herbal most likely)

I haven't done this one before but hope to this year.

Is it okay to combine an in-store Air Miles offer with one of the Shop the Block offers? For example, in the upcoming flyer (begins Friday), Foodland has an offer of 25 AM when you buy 4 Cadbury bars @ 2/$5. Would the 20 AM when you buy 3 Cadbury bars still count?

I was told by airmiles that product bonuses are fine with the shoptheblock offers, just not threshold spend offers. If you want to be safe, you might want to pass on combining. Airmiles has horrible customer service ... wait 120 days etc. Not sure if it's worth 25 extra airmiles??

FWIW, I combined the Sobeys Maple Lodge one with the shoptheblock coupon and it went through fine.

Would the receipt show both AM points - 25 and 20 in that case she would know it qualified?

My receipt showed both and has the code for the coupon on it as well. I'm not too trusting of airmiles at the moment so I'm not the best person to respond lol. I just find it such a hassle trying to chase down missing airmiles sometimes.

Totally annoyed. I went to Sobey's tonight and tried to use the app that shows the bar code but he wouldn't accept it because it isn't a physical coupon. They had booklets there and we looked for it and it wasn't there. So I guess it has to be printed off to be used. This if for the 3 Cadbury's.

I had no problems at Global Pet Foods getting 30 when I spent $75
