West only - Rexall has a great deal - buy 2 Adidas or Playboy body wash or spray for $5.49ea, get 800 Aeroplan Miles!
For the East people - they have the same deal, but give 80 Air Miles.

Actually 80 AMs is a much better deal than 800 AE miles. I can get a short haul ticket (YYZ-BOS-YYZ|YVR-YEG-YVR) for about 900 AMs while the same ticket using AE miles will run 15K.

Yeah. That's a good point. On both the in-store purchases and the flights. Maybe this isn't worth it, unless you'd be buying this stuff anyway
I actually just realized today that I hadn't booked transportation from YOW-YYZ on the 23rd. Tango fares are a little expensive (but ~$93 on the 24th). I could use 675 Air Miles and $61 for WestJet (I never think of checking Air Miles), or 10k Aeroplan miles and $65 (and much wider selection of flights with IKK).
Probably going to do Aeroplan, simply because I have so many miles, the status offerings are nice (I'm going to have one or two checked bags), and I don't really feel like paying $190 for a Tango fare when I don't even need any miles.

No limit - just limited by the store inventory, a lot of Rexall stores are small.
This would have been a better deal the past weekend, they had a spend $50, get 500 bonus Aeroplan.
The 'sale' is on for 2 weeks.

I believe with Rexall, if you redeem 95 Air Miles for $10, you get back 25 miles (until Dec 24). So might be worth picking up a few of these and dropping them off at a homeless shelter.

Our deal out here was 100AM bonus for a $50 spend so that was an even greater bonus in favour of AMs. And yes, you could also augment that by using 95AMs as cash (if your account is segregated) and get a 25AM rebate, so actually spend $40 and net out 30 AMs. IIRC the 25AM rebate was a one-time "bonus" meaning you'd have to decide between doing it at Rexall, Metro, Rona or Shell.

For us Vancouverites if you don't want the product just take it on skytrain with you and pass it on to any number of the stinky foes that are on there daily. There's even a cartoon but the name escapes me.

Thanks for that clarification. Used this at Metro last week, but not at Rexall. Just received an e-coupon offering the same spend $50 earn 100AMs for tomorrow and Thursday only, so I can earn 125AMs while spending $40 cash and redeeming 95AMs for a $10 credit and the bonus 25AMs. Maybe $13 of that spend is worth earning another 80AMs. And of course the regular 3AMs for each $15 spent.
I'm on the email offers list for Rexall, so this offer may also be available for AE miles for westerners over the next two days too.
Just checked my AM account and the rebate has already appeared:
16 Dec 13 METRO HEAD OFFICE BONUS REWARD MILES +25
11 Dec 13 AIR MILES Cash Reward CONF# 69041881520 -95
