“Stay active in the App—I check it at least once a week to get all the latest limited-time offers.”
“Super Collector” might not be an actual AIR MILES® status, but if it was, Stacey Leonard would be a card-carrying member. Actually, she’d be an App-checking member. Because if anything lies at the heart of Stacey’s super status, it’s that she always checks the AIR MILES app before shopping at partners. “I mean, why wouldn’t I? It takes two seconds and the pay-off can be huge.”
Before we look at Stacey’s impressively long reward history, let’s take a deeper look at how she got there.
First stop: Global Pet Foods
This is by far Stacey’s fave AIR MILES partner. “I have a fun tradition with my husky, Koda, where every year on his birthday, I take him to Global Pet Foods. His age equals the number of “treats” he gets! My favourite part is letting him sniff around and when I see him start to nibble on a little treat, that’s his way of “picking” (add to cart!). And I can’t forget that he always gets his annual new toy!”
Koda is clearly living his best life. And once you see the rewards that Stacey got from indulging Koda’s love of treats and paw-picked toys, it’s obvious that she is too.
Second stop: airmilesshops.ca
Shopping and earning online is Stacey’s next strategy. Specifically, she shops at Well.ca through airmilesshops.ca where she earns 1 Reward Mile for every $20 spent on food, beauty care, home items and more. “When you’re shopping for essentials,” Stacey explains, “the Miles add up pretty quickly.”
Third stop: Shell
Before Stacey and her fiancée hit the road—preferably with Koda in tow—they always stop at Shell. “It’s a no brainer. And when you fill up during a promotion like Shop the Block, you can rack up the Miles even more.”
The pay-off
Now for the reason why we’re all here: the rewards. Stacey’s knack for turning Miles into must-have merchandise and memory-making travel is positively swoon-worthy. Here’s a list of rewards she’s redeemed for just in the past three years:
-
- De’Longhi Stilosa Espresso Machine – A caffeine enthusiast, this has saved Stacey money from trips to the café.
-
- The Shark FlexStyle – Stacey says she’s never received so many compliments on her hair ever since she redeemed for this!
-
- Honeywell Power Insight True HEPA Allergen Removal Air Purifier With seasonal allergies and a shedding dog, this has been a life-saver for Stacey’s symptoms.
-
- Family trip to Costa Rica
-
- Trip to Alberta to visit friends
-
- Trip to Florida for her best friend’s bachelorette party
Next Up: France. Or Mexico. Or a drill set.
Stacey’s super collector status is only getting started. “With my wedding coming up, I’m earning Miles towards my bachelorette in Tulum, Mexico, my honeymoon in the south of France or maybe some house essentials—we just bought our first home!”
From everyone here at AIR MILES, we hope Stacey enjoys whatever she chooses and keeps up the good work—it’s clearly paying off.
