Aeroplan and Quaker

When I went shopping last week I bought some Quaker oatmeal. It was only when I got home that I noticed that it was a box where I could register for the 10 free Aeroplan miles.

So, I went to breakfastcentral.ca, put in my Aeroplan number and last name, put in the pin that I found on the inside of the oatmeal box, and asked for the miles to be deposited immediately in my account.

I found the miles were deposited two days later. The breakfast central website says that miles are deposited twice a month so you may have to wait up to 2 weeks to see them.

Altogether a painless experience, though I still think that 10 miles is not really enough to sway me to buy a Tropicana or Quaker product.
