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.Last edited by EvilTofu; Mon, Sep 23rd, 2024 at 05:53 PM.

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.

I had pharmasave flash offer issue on sep 20 _ no miles posted
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 miles

I just got my STB points, but only got 250 when I was expecting the 775. I have 2 purchases that would be #5 and #6 through Air Miles Shops that have still not posted. (Walmart and Blue Notes) Does anyone know if I have to wait the 60 days for them to be posted before I contact them about the missing STB points? I really don't want to miss out on the 525 Air Miles.
