I've bought LCBO gift cards on many occasions and paid for them with a Sobeys gift card. I've never tried to buy a $200 Sobeys card and pay for it with another. Now that you mention it, I might give it a try one day!

With the caveat that I personally haven't tried using a Sobeys GC to pay for other ones, my understanding from what I've been told and have seen online is that the system allows it, but cashiers aren't supposed to. So it seems to be YMMV depending on whether you get a cashier who either doesn't know / remember or allows it anyway.
A reminder that the Sobeys and Foodland offers of 100 AM wub $200 of their GCs both expire today, as does the Urban Fresh one of 50 wub $100 of Sobeys GCs. Coupons required are at https://roundupcontest.airmiles.ca/en/partner_offers and may also be in stores.
While it seems to be YMMV, I understand that some accounts are receiving a one-time offer of either 10 or 20 bonus miles for redeeming at least 95 at Shell by Sept. 19.

I'm envious of you all who get 50 when you collect 1. Mine seems a little out of reach. Attachment 356018
I will be shopping tomorrow at AM sponsor stores, I'll know then if I get any. My offer was too crazy to even try using.
I'll just do my regular shopping and see what kind ( if any? ) bonus Air Miles get added.
i also got this one but it is directly for foodland
Get
110
Bonus Miles
when you spend $275 cumulatively, between September 26 and October 13, 2019.
My offer was for Safeway Get 60 when us spend $150 cumulatively between Sept 26 and Oct 13.
So far this year, I've collected just over 4900 miles (100% cash). Since this is easily the most ever, it's the first time I've been within reasonable reach of Onyx. As a result, I'm wondering how / how much I'd be likely to benefit if I make the effort to earn the 1000+ I'd need to reach 6000. I know what the list on the website says, but it doesn't provide much detail, so I'm hoping that those of you who are Onyx members will be willing to share your insights and opinions.
Thanks in advance
i have been onxy for 2 years. nothing really exciting. this is the first time i have gotton a get x amaount of airmiles .. get this as a bonus. i personally hope they add more things to it . maybe someone else has different insites to it...
There was a contest for onyx earlier this year and another one starting oct 28th
I think the benefit for onyx lies more so in dream miles you get things for less air miles im set to cash miles so all i see in the black card no other perks that im aware of

So... as of today, I've collected 5015 miles YTD, and am still undecided about whether to go for 6000 to get Onyx status. I'd welcome any further thoughts on how worthwhile others have found Onyx to be.
Fwiw, it would probably be straightforward to get the additional miles. I don't have an Air Miles Mastercard, so the welcome bonus on either one would give me enough, granted I'd have to charge enough to get it.
Onyx yes or no.....I haven't seen the advantage yet. I am strictly a Cash collector.
I have the same question as Cake. I am close to Onyx now, and I intend to top up my points to achieve Onyx, but I'm not sure I will see a "profit" from doing so. Can Onyx-level people tell us some of the advantages they have actually experienced? I know the airmiles site lists them...but I tend to discount a lot of it as "advertising" whereas I credit real life accounts. Only if you have time, of course. Thanks.
