Does Apple have to do everything well?

I just noticed a jump in my airmiles so I had to take a look at my account to see what it was. I had ordered a macbook from Apple just this past week and the airmiles are already credited to my account! I don't quite understand why if Apple can do this, that the other sponsors cannot.

I'm still waiting to be credited for my February and March airmiles toolbar searches. And don't even get me started about the frustrations that I have had with Sobeys and the mistakes they've made during my 'maximizing my miles journey'.

Anyway our account is now showing 4083 miles...just 1267 more miles and we have another return trip to the sunny south!

YESTERDAY was 10x the airmiles at Sobeys!

We managed to collect 139 airmiles yesterday. The shopping trip was soooooooo much easier too because you didn't have to read any 'fine print' to determine if you had the right combination of goods to get the advertised airmiles.

I noticed today the BMO Gold Mastercard is now offering 1000 airmiles if you apply. That's a lot of miles but the annual fee of $99 kills the offer.

My airmiles balance has gone up by 3 airmiles since last post! WOOHOO! :O)

Another balance update...

Today the toolbar is showing 3989 airmiles! In the past 31 days we have collected 1014 airmiles! Not exactly our average monthly collection of airmiles. Our March airmiles toolbar searches has not been added yet, neither has the 5x the points for the BBQ which we purchased through Sears online AND Sobeys still owes us about 10 airmiles. So we are really half way there to our goal of 3 tickets by next April.

AND...Sobeys has a 10x the points event on April 20th! Can't wait! Should be able to get a decent amount of airmiles next week without too much trouble.

:O)

And the new balance is....

THREE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND NINTY FOUR airmiles!!! Yeah! It was just updated! Was wondering when it would be so I guess it's around the end of the second week of the month. The airmiles that I earned last week still aren't there though...and I did manage to get quite a few airmiles last week. Just 4331 airmiles before we reach our goal! Almost halfway there and we have 10 months to go!!!

Doing fine!

One Month Accumulation as of April 11!

On March 11 my toolbar was showing 2660 and today its showing 3231. So we have earned 571 airmiles in one month...which of course is GREAT! I find it amazing that by watching the deals that are available how much you can actually accumulate! In November last year we earned a whopping 36 airmiles! We've earned ALMOST 16 TIMES that amount just last month!

Of course we now have a slew of things piling up in our 'overflow' in the basement...but it is stuff that we will definitely use in the next 3-6 months...so we haven't gone really wild. We did go WAY over again on our AMEX this month though. But there were a couple of big bills and big purchases.
