I'm unclear if I spend more than $200, will I receive 1000 bonus points because when I normally spend $200 or more at FS, I get 500 aeroplan points.

The email is generally unclear to me. I may just buy $200 worth of music or DVDs and see if I get the 1000 points.

repost, kind of ?

Yes, I guess it is a repost. I didn't think to look in the Freebies section because it really isn't a freebie because you have to buy something to get it.

[mahjongmaniac]

i'd doubt it...

it's prbly w/ a min. purchase as always...

[wild]

they dont state that you need to make a minimum purchase to earn the bonus though

$200 minimum for the bonus aeroplan miles

[wild]

you are correct for the REGULAR offer which has always been spend $200 and get airmiles

however if you read the fine print for the BONUS it says

Plus, automatically earn 500 Bonus†† Aeroplan Miles from FutureShop when you shop in-store or online during Future Shop's Boxing Day Sale.

Nowhere does it state a minimum purchase for the BONUS airmiles

heh.. i hope what u say is true b/c i'd definitely love to earn 500 bonus aeroplan miles on a "no-min. purchase"...

but AFAIK, aeroplan has never done that... (at least not at FS)

[batcave]

I think if you buy anything, regardless of the price, you will get 500 aeroplan miles. I'm going to try it.

I just added a pic with the offer in post #1.

mahjongmaniac, 11K+posts in 13 months, that's like 30 posts per day! Impressive. You must spend alot of time here.

[wild]

any updates? do i get this for spending $1.99?

[batcave]

I think you will get the points if you got the email.

Can you tell me what is $1.99 at FS? I'm going to try to spend as little as possible to see if I get the points.

i bought some $5 pack of fuji cds and i'll use the mail in rebate to get them free :D

[wysiwyg]

You could always get a single 4x6 picture printed :D

[batcave]

You could always get a single 4x6 picture printed :DThat...is a great idea! Thanks! :cheesygri

[rain]

do you need to get an email to recieve the 500 airmiles? Did anyone manage to get the airmiles?

[wild]

they are aeroplan miles, according to the disclaimer you need the email and we wont know for up to 8 weeks

[lance]

I went to a Future Shop in Toronto yesterday and made a small purchase and requested my bonus aeroplan miles. Nobody at Future Shop had heard about the promotion and the store manager had to authorize it.

Apparently there is no way for a cashier to input an Aeroplan number in the sales transaction if the purhase is under $200.00. They made a copy of my receipt and my aeroplan card and promised that they would input it manually today and call to confirm.

If you got the email, I would recommend that you take it with you if you want to take advantage of the promotion.

YMMV.

i bought a $5 pack of fuji cds which i will send in a rebate for making them free, when you buy online your aeroplan # is included making it less of a hassle

[akide]

minimum $200 purchase

[mahjongmaniac]

minimum $200 purchase

u sure about that?

i'm still confused about whether or not the $200 min. purchase applies in order to rec'v the 500 bonus aeroplan miles.....

but regardless, i think i'll p/u the fuji photo cd-rs anyway,... and hopefully i'll get the bonus aeroplan miles...

[wlee]

as usual, it's for $200+ purchase. it is extremely slow to have the miles posted on aeroplan account, still waiting for purchase done back in Sept. :|

it says minimum $200 in the fine print on the bottom

[batcave]

it says minimum $200 in the fine print on the bottomThe minimum $200 is for everyday shopping at FS.

However, the 500 points for any purchase is the second item in fine print. It's a bit confusing, but it does say for any purchase during the Boxing Day sale.

You can check it out in the first post of this thread.

The fine print:

† Purchase amount must be $200, before taxes. Excludes layaway deposits, Gift Card sales, CPUs and laptops. CPUs and laptops earn a total of 500 Aeroplan Miles.

I have a feeling you're not going to get it :( All my miles gets credited from 2-3 weeks.

My understanding is Futureshop will not credit aeroplan points to your account until the Futureshop return period has expired i.e. 30 days.

If you received the email, you will get the 500 points with any purchase. However, if you didn't receive the email, then you might not get it.
