I have earned over 900 air miles in about 5 months. It is easily done. The grocery store that offers air miles in my area in Metro. Although their prices are higher then other stores such as No Frills or Food Basic, I only buy items that offer bonus air miles, or that are on sale. Metro also offers bonuses such as spend $80 get 50 bonus miles. I also shop at Rona and purchase my gas from Shell, instead of shopping at Homedepot or getting fuel from Sunoco. I participate in online studies for bonus miles and do the tool bar searches. Apply for an Amex card with air miles and purchase everything on it (just make sure you pay your balance in full each month!). It may seem like hard work but I think i’ve done quite well in the last 5 months. I’m saving up for a flight to NYC! At the rate i’m going I should be able to purchase 2 airline tickets by next year. Good luck everyone!

Matt– be careful there, those airmiles belong to your business. If anyone bothers to check on you, the rewards you reap better belong to the business as well! Use them wisely.

i think air miles is good but it takes too long for the item to come in the mail or somethin.…

I hate Safeway — period. They gouge people. I know people like Opera Bob are prudent shoppers and make the most of it. However, I have seen people who don’t know much about saving, people who HAVE to shop at Safeway because going elsewhere would involve cab fare etc getting gouged, gouged, gouged. In my opinion, RCSS, Walmart, and what the hey — even Sobeys and Save-On Foods have better deals than Safeway, and care more about their customers. The customer service in most Edmonton Safeways is getting from bad to worse, they treat anyone who returns anything like they are criminals. (yes, even outdated food that they have sold to you at FULL price, and you have unwittingly bought it, taken it home and are returning it). And oh! the poor customer service people have to actually WORK then!

Airmiles or no airmiles — I ain’t shopping at Safeway any more.

MOREOVER THEY TREAT THEIR STAFF VERY POORLY, AND THAT POOR STANDARD AND FRUSTRATIONS ARE PASSED ON TO THE CUSTOMERS.

Sorry, but that’s my rant for today!

Matt–
I am with you there– the Gold credit card, a new house with extensive renovations, and a new (well, 7 mos) baby all mean one thing– Our trip out east to family is fully paid for thanks to Air Miles.
BTW– Shell gas promos add up quickly– and even better when you have the gold card that brings you additional promo AM’s as well.

Don’t shop at safeway.

Don’t look for special ‘coupon’ deals.

Operate a business and put all my expenses on the gold credit card. Heck, I don’t even bother with the expensive gas deal at shell.

I do about 6K a year in air miles.

Great deal for me — I have a record of ‘most’ of my business transactions for book keepping purposes.

I’m dig movies, i dig eating out, i dig chapters. Spending those miles and getting myself free entertainment while I save for a mortgage.

Sweet :-p

Even if the time/effort isn’t worth it (I don’t think I’d do it just for a few bucks), the fact that you can get a significant amount of merchandise for a charitable cause is absolutely fantastic!

My favourite beer frequently gets 1 airmile per bottle at the LCBO. The more I drink, the more I get

Operabob, “Thanks for Giving”

I wrote the article posted here. It should have been snipped and not posted in full. However, I hope it helps people and I hope the blogger removes most of it and links to my whole article at http://www.ehow.com/how_5658961_earn-air-miles-rewards-fast.html

I can tell you this is not theoretical but real. This system is how I paid for my wedding venue, reception and guest rooms (Best Western gift cards), honeymoon cruise for 12 days (travel reward) lots of gas, lots of merchandise including baby crib, riding lawnmower, exercise equipment, more travel etc.

The Salvation Army food bank, my church (for food bank) and the BC SPCA have happily given me charitable receipts for goods donated. They use/distribute the product normally.

The 80% distribution rule is for charities that pass the cash on to other organizations — it effectively limits overhead.

I can and do make cash donations too, but why not get my rewards AND give stuff away AND get a donation receipt.

BTW this system does take some work and patience. It only works during certain sales and dates. I however find the challenge of “beating the system” to be fun, rewarding (pun intended) and profitable.

mama,

Operabob, just one more note: why not just give the foodbankds and the shelters the cash as a donation.

If I did that I wouldn’t get the AirMiles.

Doing it the other way round is a win-win for both the food bank & me.

Yes, Safeway can be expensive unless you cherry pick and buy in bulk which is what I do. However, I often find their prices cheaper than most other stores if you’re careful.

BTW: In Ontario the liquor stores give AMs but not here in BC.

Sorry but the stores that offer airmiles are much more expensive to shop at. I lived out west last year, Safeway is the most expensive place to shop at and around ontario Dominion and other places that offer air miles are significantly higher than price choppers and no frills. It’s kinda pointless to get a few hundred airmiles every month which is worth less than $50 I believe when you end up spendimg $200 more on your monthly groceries.….

In the past year I have earned over 10000 (yes ten thousand) airmiles from Safeway… I have not paid for Gas for nearly 2 years because I convert most of my airmiles into Shell gas coupons for my car.

Collecting airmiles is not easy for me as I live in Ontario. I do not spend much at Pharma Plus as I think their prices are higher.
