A Breakdown of the Purex Bathroom Tissue Air Miles Deals
One of the interesting things when doing this website is how often each product comes back with airmiles promotions. By far the most common products are Kellogg's cereal's and Purex bathroom tissues.
It's interesting to note the number of airmiles that vary from week to week. The most common promotions lately is the Buy 2 get 40 or Buy 2 get 50. While the price seems to be constant at either $6.99 for 15-doubles or $5.99 for 12-doubles.
What's interesting though is the fact that this week the promotion is $6.99 - Buy 2 get 40 airmiles but last week was $6.99 - Buy 2 get 50 airmiles. This isn't a huge difference at only 10 airmiles but still worth considering.
What this shows us is that we are looking to get at least 50 airmiles from tissue paper airmiles promotions!

New Promotional Signs at Safeway Stores
I'm just looking for everyone's opinion on the new Safeway promotional store signs. I'm talking about the signs that say "Buy 1 at $X.XX or Buy 3 at $X.XX". I've posted an example (not airmiles related) sign below.
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of this because this is MAKING us stock up on items to take advantage of the special. And for me personally, I don't use Safeway as my 'stock up' store unless it's Airmiles related. I realize this is the same system that SuperStore uses but I know the prices at Superstore are typically very low and don't mind stocking up. Just my personal opinion.
What do you think?

Rona Airmiles Credit Cards Vs. Other Air Miles Credit Cards Comparison
Recently I discussed the RONA airmiles credit card giving just the benefits. In this article I'll discuss the RONA Airmiles credit card compared to other airmiles credit cards. The reason we are doing this comparison is because the RONA Air Miles credit card provides both cash back AND Air Miles. So how does it compare?
In this comparison I'll use three test cases which include the maximum RONA gift card, just below the maximum gift card and lower amount.
Test Case #1 - Spending $20,001 in a year on the credit card
RONA Airm Miles Credit Card = 1000 Airmiles + $1000 in RONA Gift Cards
Platinum Air Miles Credit Card = 1333 Airmiles
Basic Mastercard = 1000 Airmiles
Test Case #2 - Spending $9,999 in a year on the credit card
RONA Credit Card = 499 Airmiles + $400 in RONA Gift Cards
Platinum Air Miles Credit Card = 666 Airmiles
Basic Mastercard = 499 Airmiles
Test Case #3 - Spending $3,001 in a year on the credit card
RONA Credit Card = 150 Airmiles + $60 in RONA Gift Cards
Platinum Air Miles Credit Card = 200 Airmiles
Basic Mastercard = 150 Airmiles
What this doesn't take into consideration is the added bonuses of the other credit cards. The Platinum Air Miles Credit Card provides Car Rental Theft and Damage Insurance and 350 bonus airmiles when you first use your credit card, however, it costs $50 a year. The BMO credit card provides a discount on the number of airmiles for flights and 150 bonus miles but costs $99 per year.
All in all, I would say that the RONA credit card is probably the best NO FEE Air Miles credit card as you get cash-back (gift cards) and Air Miles when using your card. This card is especially good if you make a large purchase on your card within the first 30 days.
RONA Airmiles Credit Card
Rona has released an air miles credit card so I grabbed a flyer when I was at the store and thought we'd take a closer look. Here's the details of the RONA credit card.
- Get 1 airmile for every $20 spent on Credit Card
- Get up to 5% back in RONA gift cards (up to a maximum of $1000 in RONA gift cards (ie: $20,000 spending)
- From $2001 to $5000 = 2%
- From $5001 to $7500 = 3%
- From $7501 to $10,000 = 4%
- From $10,001 = 5%
- $0 Annual Fee
- Added bonus of 5X the air miles for purchases made during the first 30 days of using the credit card.
This is a very interesting twist on the usual Airmiles Credit Card as it combines gift cards (ie: cash back) and airmiles. In my next post I'll compare this with a few other air miles credit cards and see how it stacks up!
