Omg what do you guys buy???

I wonder: could you buy a gift card to get 5x miles, then digitally redeem them for your original purchase via the eStore link to double dip and another 5x miles? Seems too good to be true

I put my items in the cart yesterday. I didn't get any real special deals but I was going to buy those things anyway. Now I got 5x the aeroplan miles.

Be warned the Amazon site is crashing a lot today.

Plus if you have a CIBC credit card you get an additional 3 miles per $1 spent and if you have Diamond Status an additional 2 miles per $1 spent....total is 10x miles for all 3 combined.

I'm still waiting for miles to post for items I bought through the Aeroplan e-store at Amazon 6 weeks ago and also on prime day 3 weeks ago.

It says I have to wait two months before sending a claim.

Hi everyone,

Just noticed that the Amazon icon in the Aeroplan e-store now says "category exclusions apply." Upon reading the terms and conditions, looks like they've excluded what are probably the most popular categories. This will definitely negatively affect earning from Amazon purchases moving forward.

Quote:

Earn 1 Aeroplan Miles for every $1 you spend on participating categories. Aeroplan miles will be earned across the following categories when shopping on Amazon.ca via the Aeroplan eStore: Apparel, Cloud Cam & Blink, Echo Devices, Eero Devices, Fashion, Fire Tablets, Fire TV Devices, Furniture, Handmade, Home, Kindle Devices, Kitchen, Luggage, Pet Products, Ring Devices. Categories for Aeroplan mile earn may change from time to time.

Please note that the following categories, as well as any others not listed above, are not eligible for earn of Aeroplan miles at this time: Arts & Crafts, Automotive, Baby & Nursery, Beauty, Books & Textbooks, Camera & Photo, Cell Phones & Accessories, Computers, Electronics & Audio, Grocery & Gourmet, Health & Personal Care, Home Entertainment, Home & Portable Audio, Jewelry, Kindle eBooks, Kindle Tablet Accessories, Lawn & Garden, Magazine Subscriptions, Major Appliances, Mobile Electronics, Movies & TV Shows, Music, Musical Instruments, Office & School Products, Outdoor, Power & Hand Tools, Shoes, Software, Sports & Outdoors, Tools & Hardware, Toys, Video Games, Watches, Wireless Accessories and gift cards.

You know what sucks? Finding something out way too late.

We spend $1000 a month minimum on amazon.

I literally didn't know I could have been earning miles. And now I find out it's not really possible anymore.

I am such an idiot.

This is a shame, as I earn a lot of points this way.

So basically most things no longer earn anything at Amazon.

Yeah, basically. There isn’t much left! And it seems like you will need to check almost every time since it seems that the list will change at times.

How would one interpret what item adheres to a particular category, too? Maybe an item fits better under "X" - rather than "Y". Glad I bought my laptop a few weeks back. Earned 8K, including the Diamond 3x benefit.

Doubt this is Aeroplan and most likely from Amazon. They have some pretty messed up commission rules for their affiliate channel (which the Amazon e-store uses to fund points). Best thing you can do is swtich to shop at Rakuten in the meantime for cashback and hopefully they will freak out about the loss in sales and Amazon will reinstate the rules.

Still ...... as I used them mainly for Amazon too :/
