I believe some of South Africa is slightly beyond the next zone distance wise from London, but BA gave a discount and prices them in the zone below (I believe 7 to 6?)

just saw this 10 min before our nearest insurance store closed. Luckily we made it. Don't have time to go tomorrow.

Congrats!
I didn't end up getting anything as I couldn't figure out what I wanted/needed, but of course now that it is over I have a huge list!
I am looking at a surface pro and maybe will wait until February to see if anything comes up like a 10/$! That would be amazing!
Note to self: make list of things to be purchased through estore@:-)

Just noticed a interesting double dipping opportunity at Sobeys (NB):
I always buy NB Liquor gift card there, since the liquor store is next to the grocery store, thus getting twice the MR points on my Amex Gold.
Sadly, you don't get Air Miles for GC purchases. But I was delighted to notice that my $50 purchase allowed me to get 5 Jamie Oliver stamps because of this promotion currently running: http://betterfoodforall.sobeys.com/jamie-oliver-knives/
I was aware from the T&C that Gift Card purchases were not considered grocery purchases, but it seems the system still allow them (my receipt was explicitly showing the 5 stamps earned, and the GC was my only purchase, so definitely not a human error from the cashier).
Nothing crazy, yet an excellent surprise — this loophole might be convenient to top up my stamp balance next February.

Last Nov/Dec when Sobey's was with Aeroplan you could get bonus Aeroplan miles for buying a Sobey's GC. It was a few thousand miles too. While I found out about the promo too late ( I bought 3 $100 cards on the last day of the promo) I believe you could buy a Sobey's GC with a Sobey's GC. Not sure if anyone tried it but it would have been something neat to try simply hanging around Sobey's all day turning over the same $100.

I know someone who renewed their insurance yesterday (Nov 2) and was able to pay by MC.
No where can I find any news / press release on ICBC's website about this either.

I was autoplan and they told me in person that it's company policy starting Nov 1st. There might be individual counters that don't follow this (yet) but that's what I was told.

A few years back I reapplied for my biz card when my CIBC card got sold to TD. It took 2 months to get the card and they needed proof of income. It seems things have gotten easier.
I'm quite surprised they extended it given the churn bait this card is. Maybe we are just a really small part of all card applications? Aeropesos are not free after all.
