Kellog's AA Promotiom - Now Hard to Find
 

I'm starting a new thread because I am finding it harder to find cereal with the AA promotion coupons. Other promotions (or none at all) seem to have taken over. I checked here in Manhattan and last weekend in Jewel and Dominick's in Chicago.

Anyone else notice this?

Tons o' boxes with the coupon on them in the Seattle area...

seattle is awash in the coupons on Kelloggs. Rarely on sale though and not worth it to me unless the really cut the price.

added: Look at that....2 posts, same message, from seattle, in the same minute!

Safeway here in the Bay area has many boxes - also Crispix on sale 3 for $5, http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif limit 3 http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

I picked up a case of crispix last week for this reason...GREAT price (normally about $4 a box) and the certs. They just have to scan 3 at a time and pay, and then scan three more and pay. They're usually willing so long as it's not busy...late at night is good.

Lots of boxes at several supermarket chains near Boston, though no Corn Flakes (the only kind that usually sells for much under $3.50 a box). I'll have to see if anyone around here has Crispix on sale too.

BTW, johnndor: there are a lot of "Bay areas" in this world ... out here, we think we're in one too! It's like in sci-fi novels where the natives of every planet call it by their equivalent of "earth." Good thing your info identifies which one you probably meant! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

...meant to be humorous..

Having lived in SF I not only know of which Bay Area he speaks but also can attest to the local insistence that it is the ONLY bay area. I really enjoyed travelling in California and pissing off the Souther Californians by referring to SF as "the city" they knew very well which city i meant, and hated me for it http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif As I recall, when the now 'golden state' basketball team played in SF the jerseys said 'the city' gotta love geographical elitism like that http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif I do know that Boston thinks of itself as a 'bay area' as well (not to mention the bay state) but I would hazard to guess most americans would go with SF when they hear the reference, just as when they hear 'the queen' there is an automatic assumption that it is Liz II.

However, "The City" refers to New York. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

*runs away very fast*

Sometime last week, Jewel in chicago had a 3 day half price sale on ALL Kellogs cereals, and I found boxes with the AA coupons. since they were out of a couple I was able to get rainchecks. It was nice to be able to get a variety -no corn flakes for a change. Not all the Jewels had them.

There are tons of Corn Flakes with AA miles on sale in Grand Rapids. Just passed a huge display of them in the local grocery store yesterday afternoon. A few weeks ago, another grocery store in the area had the large cornflakes on sale for $1.37, all with the AA certificates. And they had a truckload of them. Too bad I'm not collecting AA miles!

These cost about $2.00 a box in the Seattle area. Assuming a charitable donation takes place at 28% bracket that is $1.44 per 100 miles. Is this worth buying 800 boxes for 2 free trips to the Northeast of Brasil?

myriad and SJC AA:

You're both wrong! The "City" is Manhattan, and Manhattan alone. No ifs ands or buts!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plenty of boxes in the Inland Empire area of Southern California. Including Corn Flakes.

Price is no object; I would be eating the cereal anyway. Cheaper is always better, just not a criteria here.

I wrote to Kellogg's and told them to never terminate the program. In exchange I promised to never eat Post or General Mills cereals again.

Miles = Loyalty.

P.S.

Bay Area = San Francisco

The City = San Francisco http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Manhattan has been "the city" WAAAAAAAAAY before SF was little more than western wilderness.

It has been "the city" since it was New Amsterdam!!!

Safeway's Crispix is not on sale anymore, and the boxes they do have have another promotion on them - maybe the free watch? Should have bought more while I had the chance.

Has anyone heard anything about those curious-looking codes - NG78-WDV7-BPFM-JRB -we were supposed to cutout that appeared in some cereal boxes?

Bajan
The codes are part of another promotion for kid's toys and stuff. If you have some that you are not using, I have a friend who has been saving them to get toys for her kids for Christmas. She would really appreciate any help, so lmk if you are feeling especially generous.
Thanks

Did I miss something HERE?

On the recent AA monthly fflyer newsletter (at the end with promos listed), it mentions that the 100 mile COUPONS for the kelloggs promotion will be on the boxes only until 12/30/00 but these can be redeemed through the following year of 2001. Is this a clarification/change? I understood the promotion to last through 01 for the coupons, while supplies last. Big news to me. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Sure, Mercedes, e-mail me your address and I will pop them in the mail for you.

Bajan,
You are a prince!! I have sent you an email

Here in Southern California, thre is a coupon in the newspaper for $1 off the cereal in Sundays, paper making it almost free when doubled !

Here in "the City" (aka Manhattan), only Kellog's Complete cereal has the AA promotion in the chains I regularly shop. All of the other cereals which formerly had the AA coups now have a Disney cruise promotion.

I believe this promotion is on the way out. I am going to be sure I have no orphan coups since I understand they must be submitted in batches of exactly 5.

Well, I just found them at $1.25 (Corn Flakes) and after donating them it is a net cost of $.90 each or $.009 per mile. Since I bought 400 boxes (yes I know but it was fun making up stories each time I went through the check out with 100 boxes http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif), I figure my next trip to the beautiful beaches of NorthEast Brasil cost me $360 and lots of hungry people have breakfast.

Opa!

Safeway in the metro DC area has Corn Flakes on sale till the 19th (50% off the 18 oz. size). Now let's hope there are a few AA-marked boxes still around...

Shop and Save in Chelmsford, Mass. (north of Boston) had 13 different kinds of cereal with airplanes last night, if you count variations (like raisin and strawberry Mini-Wheats, or three kinds of All-Bran) individually. No Corn Flakes, though. Cheapest was Crispix at $2.99, not a bad price if you like Crispix but still 3¢/mile.

Well in Charlotte they never put the "right" cereal on sale. I sure miss the double and triple coupon and other deals of chains out west like Safeway, Von's, etc.

The AA boxes are becoming rare here, indeed. You can still find them on the "premium" cereals. I have resigned myself to eating my normal MiniWheats and clipping the certs. No PG action here, but what the heck. If I could find a DECENT sale/price reduction on Corn Flakes I would buy a crate and donate to the food bank, but no such luck.

Lots of boxes at Farmer Jack in the Detroit area. Wish I could afford 400 boxes!

I have been taking advantage of this promotion... Since I haven't been able to get these cereals on sale, I have been bidding using Priceline and paying around $2.20 a box (Complete Bran Flakes and Mueslix)...

I have not seen it on any good cereals. Doesn't Kellogs realize that true mileage addicts eat cereal with sugar in it or at the very least something you can say without thinking of your grandparents.

Come on Cap'n give out some miles!

I have to admit I was worried when I sent in 380 coupons good for 38,000 miles. Sent them by mail on Sept 14 and they all posted on Sept 29. Incredible! Now to practice my Brasilian portuguese.

Thanks to the person who posted the info on this promotion.

How did you know that the cereal would have the special certificates on them? Once you bid and find out what store.....they might not have the miles promotion on them. I know they were hard to find in Houston. Were you able to specify that you would only purchase boxes with that marking?

They had hundreds of boxes a few weeks ago at a store here at $1.69/box. I bought 14 boxes of Corn Flakes today @$1.49/box to top off an account for a ticket. There are about 70 boxes left. A couple of hundred Bran-something cereal at 2.49/box are there also.

Me, too, please. I know I cut some of them out and think I know where I put them. Thanks.

By bidding on Priceline, it is a bit of a risk. But my local A&P has the marked boxes for almost every Kellogg variety. (With Priceline you actually pick up what you bid on at a participating store.)

I think I will bid on a lot more boxes...because $2.20 is cheap for cereal...and $.022 per mile is a great deal, especially for AA miles!!

I just logged on to Priceline, and a memo dated today announces the end of Grocery and Gasoline Priceline discounts; sorry fscher and das to burst your bubble. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif
