Is anyone else doing the current Shop the Block? If so, maybe we could share strategies? Thanks.

Is anyone else doing the current Shop the Block? If so, maybe we could share strategies? Thanks.
There are some posts in this thread... IMO it would be better to have an ongoing Air Miles-only thread, but anyway...

Arjon...I agree. I was unaware of the thread you posted, even tho' I did a search on Smartcanucks for "Shop the Block" before I posted. Thanks for directing people.
I know, it takes some planning...
Here's my strategy:
1) Air Miles Receipt: 5 miles for eggs, $3.77
2) Shell: earn 1 Mile for 20L regular, around $30. (or buy a participating gift card for 20 bonus miles) (Get 1 bonus mile for every litre AND for every $1 spent in-store, up to 100 bonus miles, 9/26 only)
3) Pharmasave: 1 Mile for $10 spent
4) airmilesshops.ca: amazon.ca selected categories, 7 miles for $20 spent (50 bonus miles before 9/30) $35 minimum for free shipping.
5) Global Pet Foods: 1 Mile for $20 spent (100 bonus miles Sept 27th-29th only)
6) Card link offer: Dollarama: 1 bonus miles for $30 spent (25 bonus mile before 9/30)
I listed 6 shops because I'm not sure if I could find what I need at Global Pets. Ideally, I should be spending just under $120 (remember the tax!) to get about 960 miles, which is worth $101.05.
I also have another offer for 150 bonus miles for shopping 5 stores before 9/30. If they allow these offers to stack. I could get 1110 miles, which is worth $116.84.
I haven't checked, but doesn't this offer require earning at least 1 reg. mile per merchant? If so, any STB purchases that awarded only bonus miles won't count.Quote:

Maybe I've been over-cautious, but I've always taken "reward mile" to mean a regular base mile, so not bonus miles.Quote:

For anyone who hasn't done the 3-day Global Pet Food offer ending tomorrow, there are 2 other offers you can opt into that seem like they should stack, ending Sep. 30 and Oct. 4. Looks like they will yield 25 + 5 more miles on a $20 purchase.
@Arjon not everyone get the 25 + 6X miles and yes the will stackQuote:

But today I see 100 bonus miles posted as pharmasave 9/20 so I assume it would count towards my 5th partner for shop the block
I also got mine posted. But I did have 1 base mile and it’s 1 of my STB partner .And the way I understand the T&C is that you have to get 1 base mile for instore partners but others are thinking the up way you are thinking @paylessgetmore as long as you get base or bonus milesQuote:

Received my 775 Bonus AirMiles from Shop The Block yesterday.
I also received my 775 on both account and 50 BAM on 1 account for BMO STB
