SDM - Tell A Friend Event - April 5 & 6th

[chococrazy]

SIGNUP INSTRUCTIONS - we are no longer accepting email signups as of April 4, 12:09 AM EST!!! Please log into MSN Messenger and add the following to your contacts list:

rfdsdmgroups@hotmail.com

When you are added, you must message the admin the following:

1. Will you 100% shop April 5th or April 6th?
2. RFD user name
2. Shoppers Optimum card (last nine digits)
3. Email address
4. MSN Messenger address

Once you message, you'll be messaged the link on a first to message, first served basis. Once we confirm you are at your computer, you must have at least 20 minutes consecutively. If we respond to your signup message on MSN and you do not respond within 15 minutes, we will move on to the next person but will notify you in the chat window.


There is an SDM event on April 5th and 6th! If you register, you will obtain 5,000 Optimum points if you spend $20 or more at Shoppers or Pharmaprix. (Note the exclusions, listed below).

This is also a referral event, which has changed from the way it used to be structured, but still can be organized. Basically, each referral nets someone an additional 5,000 points, up to a maximum of 50,000 (e.g. 10 referrals).

So what will you get from joining this? If everyone in your group buys $20 or more, you will receive 5,000 points from Optimum, plus 4,545 points from your group leader (50,000 points / 11).

PLEASE DON'T JOIN IF YOU WON'T SHOP. If you discover between now and then that you won't be able to shop, please email sdm@spendingsmarts.com and let us know so we can let someone else in the group take your place. Note that when you do this, you are no longer considered a member of the group.

The fine print: *Points are issued according to the net pretax purchase total of eligible products after discounts and redemptions and before taxes using a valid Shoppers Optimum Card®. Excludes prescriptions, products that contain codeine, tobacco products (where applicable), other Shoppers Optimum Bonus Points™, stamps, lottery tickets, event tickets, transit tickets and passes, electronic gift cards, Life Experiences® packages, pre-paid phone cards and Shoppers Home Health Care® locations. Offer applies to photofinishing services that are picked up and paid for on Saturday April 5 or Sunday April 6, 2008. Not to be used in conjunction with any other Shoppers Optimum Points® promotions or offers. A maximum of 5,000 points will be awarded to the registrant that shops and makes a purchase of $20 or more on Saturday April 5 or Sunday April 6, 2008. An additional 5,000 points will be awarded to the registrant for each direct referral that shops and makes a purchase of $20 or more on Saturday April 5 or Sunday April 6, 2008 to a maximum of 50,000 points for ten (10) direct referrals. A maximum of 55,000 points will be awarded per registrant. Both the registrant and referral must register online before shopping and spending $20 or more at Shoppers Drug Mart on Saturday April 5 or Sunday April 6, 2008 in order to receive the bonus points. The additional points will be awarded to the registrant's account by April 11, 2008.


Note that it is more advantageous to sign up family using your own referral rather than making them part of the chain.

Let's say you have two cards (yours, and your spouse's).

Signing both up using the group method:
- Each card receives 9,545 points = 19,090 points total (this will be less if someone in your group doesn't shop)

Signing one up using the group method, and then referring the 2nd card yourself:
- Card that's part of the RFD group = 9,545 + 5,000 points for referring card outside of group = 14,545
- 2nd card that's outside of group = 5,000
- total is 19,545 (455 more per card you register - plus if someone in your group doesn't shop, this only affects one card, and not all of them!).

***IF you have friends/family cards that you want to register for the event, FOLLOW the instructions in www.spendingsmarts.com/sdm/tut after you register your first card from your group leader's referral link!!!!

Important things to note:

1. You MUST be able to shop on either April 5th or April 6th!!!!

2. 4,545 referral points are NOT guaranteed. That being said, we expect everyone that signed up to shop!!!!!

3. You will ONLY be allowed to sign up one card per group. The reason why... it is more advantageous to register these extra cards yourself!!!!

4. If after signing up, you realize you cannot shop or participate, please email us to let us know and we can assign someone else to your group in your stead. ***If you're signing up friends or family, you should only sign up the ones that you will know for SURE will shop. It will mean less points for you if you sign up a friend that does not end up shopping.

5. If you have privacy issues with giving us your Optimum card number, please do not join us this time around. Note that no one (other than chococrazy, Cyanne or 3weddings if we need it!) will ask you for your password. If anyone does, please let us know right away.

6. You will HAVE to retain your SDM receipt to prove that you shopped. You will also be responsible to obtain the receipt of your friends/family. If the group leader does not receive the maximum number of points (meaning that someone did not shop) you will HAVE to submit/email this receipt to them as proof before your points will be transferred! No receipt = no points.

[chococrazy]

Results are in!
anyone who did not shop, please confess to retain our goodwill. We will find you out anyway.
if you had issues with SDM that might have led to your group leader getting credited, inform us so we can help.

WE NEED GROUP LEADERS!!!! If you're interested, please check out http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?p=6644498&postcount=424

Finally, remember that you must register AND email your group leader telling them that you have registered within 24 hours of receiving the email. IF 24 hours has passed and you have not registered OR you have not emailed to say that you have registered, you will be BYPASSED and someone else will be added to take your place. NOTE if you register, and do not email, you're out of luck.

[coldpower27]

This is exactly what I have been waiting for, looking for a group ASAP.

[Davesgirl]

Ha ha too funny! I just got the email and was coming to post about it too! I'm totally in whenever you start taking names :lol:

[chococrazy]

What I would suggest people do is:

1. Find your Shoppers Optimum card. Yes, you must have it PHYSICALLY with you to join the chain. The cashiers will not key in your card number if you don't have the card.

2. Check your balance. Make sure that you can log into the site - if you can't, you won't be able to sign up when we give you your signup link.

[1226]

I'm in. Where does the max 9,545 points come from?

EDIT: Oh I see, it's not a straight chain.

[goldcap]

count me in. this is fun.

[mgronqui]

I'm in! Keep me posted!

[batman007]

I'm also in, can you keep me posted on this? thanks !

[hardywang]

WOW! Count me in:D

e-mailed!

[chococrazy]

Do NOT click on Bestoffer's link. You will not get any extra points!!!!!! Reported to the mods.

We will keep everyone posted by posting to this thread/modifying the first couple of posts. :)

[lebanesekid]

IM SO EXCITED:

Chococrazy, I can get put into a group, and then refer people on my own right? I will PM you to get signed up when you start doing this:D

[zrepiV]

Wow, I'll be sure to keep looking at this thread cause I'll be in for sure :)

[mahjongmaniac]

I'm surprised that this went out already! There's no competition :) . What's most important is that the RFD family is made aware of Hot Deals! In my defense, however, I did post this (in a roundabout way) in the thread on the Petro Canada event. ;)

[wayne4616]

Sign me up!

[kayoko]

count me in~

First time, read the FAQ. Should be okay, but will check back for details!

[3weddings]

RULE #1.......don't click on ANY links sent to you by ANYONE else!!! Wait for the team to get you signed up

;)

Whoo hoo...more shopping!!!!

[chococrazy]

IM SO EXCITED:

Chococrazy, I can get put into a group, and then refer people on my own right? I will PM you to get signed up when you start doing this:D

Please do not PM me... my inbox is nearing full and I will probably keep it that way so I don't get massive amounts of PMs from people asking me to sign them up!!!!

The process is this: there will be a group leader, and 10 people signed up underneath them. The maximum number of bonus points any one person can have is 50,000 (hence 10 signups * 5,000 points). We will do all the work to get these groups of 1 group leader + 10 people organized.

Part of the FAQ:

Can I sign up my family and friends?

A. Yes, but keep in mind it's actually advantageous for you to sign up your card in the group, and then refer your OTHER cards yourself!!!!

Let's say you have two cards (yours, and your spouse's).

Signing both up using the group method:
- Each card receives 9,545 points = 19,090 points total (this will be less if someone in your group doesn't shop)

Signing one up using the group method, and then referring the 2nd card yourself:
- Card that's part of the RFD group = 9,545 + 5,000 points for referring card outside of group = 14,545
- 2nd card that's outside of group = 5,000
- total is 19,545 (455 more per card you register - plus if someone in your group doesn't shop, this only affects one card, and not all of them!).

We received your heads up and had a few discussions about it before the SDM email was sent. Any amount of notice is VERY much appreciated!!!!

Yep, I'm definitely in this one.

[Hot Like Wasabi]

I'll post the flyer items and prices mid-next week for ON (the front page at a minimum) so everyone can plan their purchases.

[neo1973]

I am in. Thanks OP!

[Lost4ever]

I was a group leader during the last event. Would gladly do it again this time around.

[iconicrocket]

The last one went so smoothly, I want in again.

3weddings was the lead for my group, great job!

[Fenian]

Count me in once this gets rolling, sounds like a great deal!

Fenian

[Mendesb]

Im in too!

im assuming i should delete the past 2 addy's on msn and add the new one shortly!

[Aj23]

I'll be in for this! One question though, how many points do you get as you get below the group leader?

[lovetoshop...hatethebills]

Hi I'm In when can we start referring others, this is the first time that i actually get to participate usually i go ahead and sign up myself and later see this chain.

[shoppingx]

a suggestion, did you guys form a leader's group to max points last round?

like

top leader (leader1, l2, l3...)

leader1 (member 1, m2, ...)
leader2 (member 1, m2, ...)
.
.
.

have fun

[jshebib]

Yes, we did do something like that :)


I'll be in for this! One question though, how many points do you get as you get below the group leader?

If everyone in your group of 11 shops, everyone will receive 9,545 points.


Hi I'm In when can we start referring others, this is the first time that i actually get to participate usually i go ahead and sign up myself and later see this chain.

Don't worry, we will start signing up people either tonight or tomorrow. We want to get everything all organized first before we start - it makes for a smoother process and less mistakes!


Im in too!

Yes, you might as well delete any of our past MSN addresses that you may have... we won't be reusing any of those.


I was a group leader during the last event. Would gladly do it again this time around.

We had a great success with our group leaders, and will call on the same group leaders again! Note: if we ask you to be a group leader, you will need to give us your Optimum card number and security information so that we can log into your event page and check to make sure your counts are going up. I've lost count on how many chains we've run - if we need additional group leaders, we will ask you, no need to volunteer!

[Punira]

This sounds really fun! count me in

Im in, just dont know what to do other than spend $20 on april 5th or 6th. Would gladly hear the details to help myself and whoevers in a group.

[3weddings]

Sounds good. I will be available again if you need me.

Hey don...good to see you! :D

[fod]

I'm like to join in as well.

Thanks.

[wpooh888]

I'm in too please !

[Necrosis]

Missed the last $20 event but have done the other chains - count me in for this one! Thanks!

[mself084]

im in! definitely IN :D i havent participated yet

[Oscar11]

count me in as well :)

[chococrazy]

Can someone confirm that those in Quebec have received the email from Pharmaprix as well??

[scottyboy2k5]

me and my 4 family members are in :) thx

[MartinaC32]

I'll post the flyer items and prices mid-next week for ON (the front page at a minimum) so everyone can plan their purchases.


Next week's flyer is boring in my opinion LOL


I wasn't part of the last chain but I shopped. I'd like to sign up for this chain if possible. Thanks

[digdoug]

I'm in too. maybe you should post in the OP what the sign up procedure is? :)

[skyc280]

is the chain starting officially now?

quite confusing with everyone reporting they are in, anyway I am in too:D

[theastroboy]

I didn't participate in the previous $20 event, but this time I will. Probably not as good as the old $50 event, but spending $20 sure is much easier than spending $50.

[starla88]

i'm in as well!! :D

[chococrazy]

OK.. no need to post that you are IN! Instead read the first two posts - the signup procedure is there.

We needed a bit of time to get organized. We still need a bit of time to organize the groups now, but if you are interested you should FOLLOW the instructions!

FAQ has also been updated: www.spendingsmarts.com/sdm/

Finally, you should watch those first two posts.. you will see who the group leaders are and if you've been assigned to a group!

P.S. starla88 wins the award for the quickest fingers!

[Kwyjibo]

My mom and I would like in on this. Count us in for two.

[don242]

My mom and I would like in on this. Count us in for two.

Take a look at the setup for the event. It actually makes more sense for only one of you to join the group and then referring your mom yourself. You actually both come out ahead compared to both of you being in the group.

[Hot Like Wasabi]

I'll post the flyer items and prices mid-next week for ON (the front page at a minimum) so everyone can plan their purchases.

I forgot to mention that there's another promotion going on the week of April 5th to 11th. Buy $20 of LB products and get 10x points. Good way to boost your haul even more!

SDM Ladies: You're recommending that we only sign ourselves with the RFD Group and then start our own group to maximize the points? But if one cannot get enough people to be in that group, wouldn't it be better for, say a couple, to just register with RFD?

Also want to say thank you for organizing this.

No, they are recommending you sign up as part of the RFD group but if you have any family members or friends who are interested it works out to your advantage to sign them up yourself instead of also including them in the RFD group.

Here is why:

1. You sign up in RFD group and get 5000 pts for shopping + 4545 pts from the RFD group (assuming full participation) for a total of 9545 pts.

2. You sign up 2 family members under you. They each get 5000 pts for shopping, you get an extra 10,000 pts for the referrals. Now you can give each of them 4545 pts which will give them a total of 9545 pts each as well (equivalent to being in the RFD group) but now you still have 910 pts extra (10,000 - 4545 - 4545). Divide that 910 points between you and your 2 family members if you want.

So by signing up your family members and friends yourself AFTER you are in the RFD group you actually come out ahead slightly than signing up all your friends and family as part of the RFD group. It does not matter how many people you sign up under you, whether 1 or 10, you still come out ahead that way.

Additionally since only you would need to sign up in the RFD group, you reduce the workload on C&C since they just have to get you signed up and then you are on your own to sign up your friends and family.

Hi Everyone

I am new to the Forum although I have been lurking for awhile...

I am an avid SDM optimum fanatic and would love to take part in this and will send an email as instructed by OP only problem is I don't understand what this means:

3. RFD Nick (very very important, this, along with the email you used to contact us, is how the group leader will be contacting you)

If anyone can halp me out I would appreciate it. I feel silly for asking as I am sure it must be something simple...

[Cyanne]

Thanks Don. Basically what is happening here is that by having family members in the group, you'd be sharing the 5000 points for referring them with the rest of your group. If you refer them yourself, you get to keep the 5000 points.

I went out last night, which OF COURSE meant that's when the event went live. LOL. Luckily Chococrazy was here, who was more than capable of handling it. We both have experience with the particular set-up now, so we should be good. Group signups should start today.

Sure! Your RFD nick is "mollymama". We often get emails from people who seem to assume we automatically know who they are. Sadly, that is not the case. Then, they'll ask "did you get my email", or some such, to which we have no idea. So tell us your (RFD) name :)

But for someone who does not intend to form a group, wouldn't it be better to just register, say, the 2 family members with RFD - that way, they both earn points as opposed to only one of them getting the points?

Sorry if I'm still missing the point (no pun intended) but I think earning the extra 5000 points for referring someone will be disadvantageous if the person you've referred will not have anyone to refer, right?

The point of only registering one person using RFD, and then you yourself referring your family member, is that you would get about an extra 500 points. If you both used RFD to register, your friend would get 4545 points from RFD, and 5000 points for shopping; the same would happen to you. However, if only one of you registered through RFD, and the person who registered on RFD referred their friend, the RFD registrar would get 5000 for shopping, 4545 for being referred on RFD, and 5000 points for referring the friend, while the friend will get 5000 points. You can then give your friend either the 5000 or the 4545 points, so they benefit as well. One of you will get an extra 455 points for only using RFD once.

Scenario one gives a total of 19090 points (4545 X 2 + 5000 X 2)
Scenario two gives a total of 19545 points. (5000 X 3 + 4545 X 1)

Look closely at the numbers and you will understand. It takes a bit to wrap your head around it sometimes. These things always confuse me initially as well.

In the end you will see if there are 3 of you (you and 2 family members) you will recieve a total of 28635 pts by all joining the RFD group. By only one joining and then referring the family members yourself, you will receive a total of 29545 pts. Not a big difference but it is a difference plus you cut down on the work required by C&C.

Edit: Sorry lebanesekid, you pretty much answered this already.

Hi, I'm in QC and yes, I've received the email for this secret event. :) It is in the same email as the Petro Canada promo.

[3weddings]

Thanks Cyanne,

Since you are not joining a chain, you will have to wait for your email from Shoppers, it will have your link in it. It's at the bottom of the Petro Canada email that hit the masses yesterday.

[Cyanne]

Thanks Cyanne,

But I will be signing up myself and not going through the chain. Can you post/pm me the link?

Thanks.

There is no chain here, there are groups. If you can't wait I will pm you a link, but realize you won't get any extra benefit (besides the 5000 points SDM gives you) from it unless you're part of a group.

[bitsdoo]

Got the link...thanks.

One more question. If I'm signing up my family members and want to get them involved in the chain what's the best way to do it?

Here's two scenarios.

1.
First sign myself up.
Add my 6 family members under my card.
Then they can branch out and get their friends.

or

2.
First sign myself up.
Add first family member under me.
then add second family member under the one I just signed up.

I don't think it would matter points wise...other than the first scenario would put me closer to the 10 friends sooner.

Thanks.

It depends. If you want to keep the points for yourself, then do 1. If you want to share the bonus points amongst the family members, do 2! Note that in this instance, the last person wouldn't get any extra bonus points.

[bitsdoo]

Thanks choco/cyanne.

Basically this is just the set up for the family. Beyond that everyone will get their friends to sign up to get to the 10 friend mark, all their friends will shop and spend the $20 on the weekend.

I guess really I just want to maximize points for everyone and make sure that everyone gets to be at the top of a chain with their friends under them so they can max. points.

Cheers.
Bits

[seb33]

The way that I do it is to sign up my friends and family all under my card and then I transfer the 5000 referral points to them after the event. So any friends and family that I sign up all get the full 10000 points! Its not much work after the event to do all the transfers. If I refer more than 10 than I start another 'tier' with my sisters card. Its a great nice thing to do for your friends and family

[Punira]

If I signup with the RFD group can I still sign up and refer my gf with the SDM email link?

[don242]

If I signup with the RFD group can I still sign up and refer my gf with the SDM email link?

Yes, sign up with the RFD group and then refer your gf by sending her a referral link after you have signed up. Once you ahve signed up you will be given the option to send out a referral then.

You're only suppose to use your own Optimum Card at any point in time but there are no names / signatures or anything of the sort associated on the card, so giving it to your husband to shop won't be a problem.
Just make sure they shop!

[alanbrenton]

----
Signing both up using the group method:
- Each card receives 9,545 points = 19,090 points total (this will be less if someone in your group doesn't shop)

Signing one up using the group method, and then referring the 2nd card yourself:
- Card that's part of the RFD group = 9,545 + 5,000 points for referring card outside of group = 14,545
- 2nd card that's outside of group = 5,000
- total is 19,545 (455 more per card you register - plus if someone in your group doesn't shop, this only affects one card, and not all of them!).

Looks interestng, how much in $ is 9,545 points worth? 19,090? I tried to search for the word "worth" but didn't come with any hits within the thread. I don't have a SDM receipt with me handy so I can't tell from the top of my head. Thanks.

Couldn't we get extra points if we buy a gift card before April 6th as there are points for buying one.

Then we use our gift card for at least a $20 purchase on April 6th or 7th. to collect more points.

[Cyanne]

Thanks, so it's about $30 -- pretty good deal for spending $20.

huh? for spending it's up to 9545 points, worth $19.09 at the highest redemption level. If you mean more than one card that's more than $20.:confused:

[alanbrenton]

19,000+ points if people you refer all bought $20 worth of products on those days. At least, that was my understanding.

[DaVibe]

Quite honestly, I don't think you can put a real "worth" of points, since the amounts get better as you go up ...
Some break it down dollar-for-dollar or break it down according to the closest amount (so say $10+) ... while others consider it a little bit in the big pot towards 75,000 :D

[don242]

Errrrrrrrrrr, now how do I refer friends and families?

Once you are signed up in the group through the referral you will receive, then you will be able to login in to the event and send out your own referrals to your family and friends. You just need to wait until you get signed up first then the process for referring others should be more clear.

There is one question not answered: What about multiple $20 transactions?

Suppose you spend $20 or more in one store and then spend $20 or more in another store later. Or you come back later to the same store and spend another $20.

I am assuming SDM will limit this promotion to one transaction per card holder?
Otherwise the points will really add up.

They track it by the card so you would only get the promotional points once.

You only have to spend $20. Really, it should be.
I don't even know what I'm going to buy (I have nothing in mind) but I know I can probably pick up some Q-Tips, toilet paper, paper towel, a case of Coca-Cola and some milk and butter. Sounds like $20 to me.

The last two events, was in Ontario, One in the rest of Canada, were also 20$.

[ryalee]

I just sent an email with my info! Thanks :)

[canadiankorean]

When should we expect the referral email to be sent?

[Cyanne]

When should we expect the referral email to be sent?

We have email from you not quite 1/2 hour ago. I don't know what else you sent to who when. Theinstructions were to email sdm@spendingsmarts.com. Now youll have to wait for us to update again.

[zrepiV]

WOOO group 3!

I'm gonna check my PM inbox and e-mail once in a while :)

[Cyanne]

When should we expect the referral email to be sent?

I said don't expect it before tonight. Signups are easy in this configuration. Organization is hard.

[Mei Yee]

Yayyy! I sent email to address in first post. Thanks again Cyanne, Choco, 3 Weddings and everyone who is chipping in and answering each others' questions. What a terrific bunch we all are!:D

[chococrazy]

Thanks for everyone's patience!!!!!

We think we have things under control, and will begin a slow controlled process with one or two group leaders to make sure everything is OK before we let the floodgates out :)

We'll start with don242 and 3weddings to make sure everything is OK before we get everyone else on board.

IMPORTANT NOTE: the group lists are subject to change so do not be alarmed if someone else other than your group member emails you!!!

Finally, remember that you must register AND email your group leader telling them that you have registered within 24 hours of receiving the email. IF 24 hours has passed and you have not registered OR you have not emailed to say that you have registered, you will be BYPASSED and someone else will be added to take your place. NOTE if you register, and do not email, you're out of luck.

When you get your referral link, check the date and time stamp to make sure that you have NOT missed your 24 hour window - to be safe, read ALL of your email to make sure you have not been bypassed before clicking the link.

[zrepiV]

Alright, I'm a bit confused... I've read over the website and the FAQ and I got a question and need some clarification.

When you get an e-mail and a PM from the group leader giving you the referral link, you sign up and then verify with the group leader right?
Or do you have to wait for shoppers to e-mail you about the event and you have to register, THEN go to the referral link?

[Cyanne]

Do NOT sign up using an SDM email!!!! You'll get no bonus got that. Only register through an invite from you group leader.

The group leader will email you a link and instructions. Sign up through the link she sends you. Then email the group leader to say that you have done so. Your "verification will have been seeing you group leader's name on the email confirmation page, and then getting the two emails from SDM. But you must tell your group leader you registered or he won't be able to credit you with it.

May I make a suggestion. After the group leader sends out the referral, update the second post, saying that groups referral has gone out, so that we are forewarned to look for an incoming email.

[chococrazy]

Yup, I'm updating that post. REMEMBER: The email you're looking out for is NOT coming from Shoppers, but from your group leader!

The incoming mail won't be from shopper's. It will be from your group leader. If you get an email invitation from shoppers, do not click it!!!

Chococrazy / Cyanne / 3Weddings ...

I sent an email yesterday at 1:23pm (and again tonight) to SDM@spendingsmarts.com and I didn't see my name assigned to a group :cry: I know people who sent email today are already there ... :cry:

[chococrazy]

Chococrazy / Cyanne / 3Weddings ...

I sent an email yesterday at 1:23pm (and again tonight) to SDM@spendingsmarts.com and I didn't see my name assigned to a group :cry: I know people who sent email today are already there ... :cry:

We had to do a bit of shuffling around, and as a result, a couple of people MAY have been bumped up. It was easier to just grab names of people that we didn't have assigned to a group yet. At the most, it was two people. We are also identifying group leaders and bumping them up as well, since we are being choosy (the role has some responsibility and obviously we need to ensure the people we choose are trustworthy and will distribute the points!)

We are sticking to the relative order that you've emailed. Note that it's a daunting task to organize all of you in groups of 10 and get all the information your group leaders need to sign you up!!!

Remember, too that there is still a full week left. I don't expect to sleep until 2 AM tonight doing the chain. Please bare with the little hiccups that happen and don't worry, we'll get you signed up (as always).

PLEASE do not resend your signups... this means that we will have to start searching to ensure that we don't assign someone to two groups.. and more shuffling around. Give us 48 hours to get you into a group (for now). I'm hoping by the end of tomorrow, our turn around time for putting people into groups will be less.

Thanks for all your hard work. I just thought that my email was lost since my Outlook acts up sometimes. :o

[Octavius]

By the way, just thought I'd mention how appreciative I am of you ladies doing all this time and time again.

Chococrazy, Cyanne and 3Weddings, you gals are awesome ;)

[3weddings]

I am just support....if you saw the work that Choco and Cyanne put into the website, the Leader emails, the FAQ....amazing. They impress me time and time again!!!

[careyy]

i am guessing buying a $20 shoppers gift card will not work?

[Cyanne]

i am guessing buying a $20 shoppers gift card will not work?

No, not as your $20 purchase. Though you can use a $20 GC to make you purchase on those days.

[Octavius]

i am guessing buying a $20 shoppers gift card will not work?

No, it will not.

You can buy it AND THEN use it on 20 bucks worth of stuff (before tax) during those days in order to get an extra 200 shoppers points...that's what I'm doing.

Just buying the gift card itself though will not qualify for the purposes of this chain/promotion.

If you're trying to think of what to buy...I think there's a list that was made up that outlining a number of common things that people bought.

[Hot Like Wasabi]

If you're trying to think of what to buy...I think there's a list that was made up that outlining a number of common things that people bought.

I'll also be posting the items from the April 5th flyer mid-next week to help everyone plan their purchases.

[protectivedad]

Great work. Worked like a charm, I hope . . . :)

[rogue]

Sign up complete.... the links were bang on ....with reference name matching what was in the email....thanks again.

Wouldn't hurt to review the fine print as well. It would suck to spend the $20 and then find out that you didn't reach the minimum because some of the things that you purchased were excluded from the program.

*Shoppers Optimum Points are awarded based on net (purchase price less discounts) pre-tax purchases. Shoppers Optimum Points are not awarded and may not be redeemed on cigarettes and tobacco (where sold), gifts with purchase, bus tickets, passes, pre-paid phone cards, electronic gift cards (excluding Shoppers Drug Mart gift cards), lottery tickets, lifeEXPERIENCE packages, products purchased in the post office, delivery charges (where applicable), bottle deposits/returns (where accepted), bill payments (where accepted) or charitable donations. The collection of points for prescription purchases may vary by province and is governed by provincial governments, provincial regulatory authorities and third party insurance plans. Discount applies to the full purchase price (excluding taxes). Shoppers Optimum Points cannot be redeemed on prescription drugs and products that contain codeine.

[don242]

Group 1 is up and running. Four confirmed signups already.

[jsinb88]

Thanks for all your hard work. This is my first time joining in a RFD SDM referral chain. Hoping to bump up my Optimum points to the top level again. Last time my wife and I used it to buy a lifeEXPERIENCES package.

Unfortunately we can't purchase those any longer :(
I have bought so many in the past, I miss that aspect!

My three groups are rolling, just a few more people and we're done!! Good Stuff!

I think you mean including SDM gift cards. As in the purchase of gift cards doesn't count for bonus point events and you can't redeem for them.

Nice catch! I copied and pasted directly from SDM's site...I should pay attention to my own advice and read the fine print! My previous post applies to normal situations (i.e. you get points for buying SDM gift cards), but as Cyanne mentions NOT for bonus point events.

Very minor typo ... There are 2 group 23 in post #2 :!:

Fixed! OK.. that may be the last of the emails that get sent out. If you haven't gotten one tonight, you probably won't. I'm going to send the rest of the night doing admin stuff. No worries though.. we still have a FULL week. Just keep checking emails at least once a day and you'll be fine.

[HammerTime]

Members of Group 12 have been sent instructions.

[kshep604]

Thanks to my group leader 3weddings and to Cyanne and Chococrazy for all their hard work. I'm now registerd in Group 3.

[mapleflag]

I've registered using the link from Group 7 Leader and emailed Deirdre per the instruction sent. Thanks to all the organizers.

[pepperMonkey]

Hi, just a note. I seem to be in both group 14 and 16...might want to take me out of one, unless I can get double points ;) (yes yes, I know that's not possible ;))

[Trym]

I've registered with Group 7 and emailed group leader DeirdreF. Many Thanks to organizers for all your hard work!

[Dungeon]

Just a note whether your a group leader or someone in a group. If you use gmail check in your spam folder as thats where i found the invitation.

[qiao]

Thanks for your all excellent job! I have seen my nick name in the group 23 since last night. But I haven't got either PM or email so far.Is it normal? I am wondering if I still need more patience to wait for a PM or email...

[CheapDude]

Got the email and registered. A big thanks to those organizing this event.

Yes... have more patience. There are a whole slew of people that haven't been added to the 2nd post...! We're working on it. Check back later tonight.

did you check post #2? you're in group 15 - your group leader hasn't sent out the invites yet

[Cyanne]

Hi there, I emailed a couple of days ago and never received a PM or an email back...can you let me know if I need to resend my email?

Thanks.

Please don't.

Read the FAQ (http://www.spendingsmarts.com/sdm/),



Q. I sent you an email. Did you get it?

A. If it didn't bounce, probably. We won't have time to respond to each question, but we will update the groups list as soon as possible, within 24 hours at latest. Check the first posts of the thread on Redflagdeals.com for updates.

And if you did as instructed and checked the second post of the thread, you would have seen you're in group 15.

[hellabella]

Thanks again ladies, for all your hard work! And thanks also to the group leaders!

actually, excluding would be right i think.

" ... points not awarded to.... electronic GCs (excluding SDM GCs) ..."

so in other words, you don't get points for any other GCs purchased at SDM, w/ the only exception of SDM GCs, which you'll still get 10pts/$1

[suoxin]

I am in group 6 but still didn't get the email instructions. PMed the group leader last night...

Edit: My bad. I provided another email account... I got the email. Thanks!

Sort of. HWL was quoting from the site, but talking in the context of this event.

To unconfuse this:

You do get regular points on SDM GCs
You do not get bonus or 20x points on GCs.
GCs do not count as part of your $20 purchase for this event, or as part of your purchase requirements for any other promotions.
You cannot redeem points for GCs.

Sounds like someone in your group registered a family member or friend through your referral link instead of sending them their own invite. Nothing can be done now. In the end you an only be responsible for the 10 people supposed to be in your group.

Before you make a post stating that your name isn't in a group make sure you SEARCH the first page of this thread for your name. There are a LOT of names there so my suggestion is to

a) go to the first page
b) click on EDIT in your browsers toolbar (generally on the very top...File, Edit, View..etc )
c) Scroll down to FIND
d) When the box pops up, enter the name you are looking for and and click find next. This will search for the name name on that page for you. If you are in a group it will show you where.


These instructions are for INTERNET EXPLORER. I do not know about other browsers find feature. Maybe someone with knowledge of other browsers could help here too?

**Edit**

These instructions work for FIREFOX as well except the box won't pop up at you it will be on the bottom task bar. Everything else is the same.

These ladies have enough work to do as it is without pointing out exactly where your name is in the LONG list of groups. :)

Thx, ladies.

FYI.. I'm shutting down for Earth hour at 8 PM EST. But I'll be back up a little after 9 PM EST.

Organizers
Seeing that group 7 already has 11 people registered, should I be placed in another group? Not sure if that's easier especially since I have not received the invite yet.

Hi, not sure if I am doing this right but I would like to join the SDM chain. I sent the e-mail but I don't know how to access that link to see where I am on the chain? Does anyone know?

Keep checking post #2 in this thread. Once you have been added to a group, your name will appear there. Once a leader is assigned to that group, they will email you the instructions.

I know choco is signing off momentarily, as am I. I am pretty sure Cyanne is gone already. Enjoy Earth Hour!!!!

Update on group 14 and 22. Green are registered, red are not.

However in group 14 I have an extra registered that did not send me an email confirming they registered. So if your name is in red and you have already registered, please email me back to confirm your registration. Thanks.

Update on group 14 and 22. Green are registered, red are not. However in both groups I have an extra registered that did not send me an email confirming they registered. So if your name is in red and you have already registered, please email me back to confirm your registration. Thanks.

It is REALLY important that if you register from your group leader's link, that you email them back RIGHT away telling them that you have registered!!! Failure to do this means that we will kick you out of the group, and sign someone else up. Yes, we'll do this even if you have registered but not emailed the group leader!

Also note that the link given to you by your group leader should NOT be used for anyone else (your friends or family). You will not receive any bonus points since we've already assigned 10 people under your group leader. Follow the tutorial instructions (http://www.spendingsmarts.com/sdm/tut) for those extra cards.

Group leaders, if you notice this happening please email, MSN and PM the people that have not registered yet to find out who registered without emailing. Also remember to check your spam!!! I know several of you have requested extra names to replace those that have not responded... I will do this late this afternoon/tonight when I get back.

Cyanne and I have some prior things to do today, so I'll be back later tonight. We're doing pretty well.. remember that the event is six days away.

Post #2 is looking like the bulletin board around christmas time. I understand the green and the red, but what does it mean when it is black (bold) versus black (normal)? And I am guessing that yellow is reserved for replacement group members?

Post #2 is looking like the bulletin board around christmas time. I understand the green and the red, but what does it mean when it is black (bold) versus black (normal)? And I am guessing that yellow is reserved for replacement group members?

LOL. I like my colours :)

Black bold means that the group leader has reported the person has registered

Orange means that the group leader has reported the person as not having registered

Black normal means that we haven't gotten a report from the group leaders yet

I'm in the middle of updating those from group leader reports.

PLEASE people.. check your spam folders - especially if the second post says that youve been emailed instructions!!!

Again, people... please read the FAQ. We're getting silly questions emailed to us that are in the FAQ. Keep in mind Cyanne is going to school full time, and I work full time... AND the fact that we end up giving up a lot of personal time to run this.

- DO NOT send your signup email twice
- DO NOT sign up if you're not going to shop
- DO look at the second post of this thread to see if you've been added to a group yet (give us 48 hours to do so)
- DO look at the second post for the status of your group
- DO read the FAQ if you have a question
- DO post to the thread if the FAQ doesn't answer your question
- DO contact your group leader first before involving us

RTFM (or in this case RTFF):

Q. I just registered. Why does my status page show 0 friends registered?

A. If you are a group member (one of the 10), registered under a group leader, then you will ALWAYS show up as 0 friends registered UNLESS you refer a friend or family member yourself. Group leaders will have at least 10 friends registered. More information for the group leaders will appear on their FAQ.

Each group leader has 10 direct referrals under them. This means that the group leader will receive all of the referral points which they will then distribute equally over all 11 members of the group.

The straight chain you are suggesting can also work but is a lot more difficult and time consuming to setup for the amount of people who sign up for this event and the difference in points is minimal with the straight chain vs the the group method.

[can2000]

Thanks Don for the explaination!

[don242]

Thanks Don for the explaination!

These events are always a little confusing at first glance. It always takes me a bit to wrap my head around it but once you have it figured out it is quite simple. The great thing is that chococrazy and cyanne have these things down cold and are pretty good at figuring out the optimal way to get the most out of it for everybody and for keeping it as fair as possible for everyone involved.

[BestOffer]

Do NOT click on Bestoffer's link. You will not get any extra points!!!!!! Reported to the mods.

We will keep everyone posted by posting to this thread/modifying the first couple of posts. :)

Thanks again ladies...I've just sent in my email and will look forward to hearing from you!

:D

[screamy]

did i post something wrong? if i didn't remember wrong it was the image of the event and the link i got to register for the event...

I think they said that because if you use the link, you can't use the RFD registration...meaning you'd be on your own in terms of getting people "under" you.

[alesto]

Sent email earlier today. Waiting to see what would happen next. Me is not the biggest fun of SDM, but cannot skip the deal.

Yes, it was reported and removed because if people signed up under your link they would not be receiving bonus points. Next time, read our signup instructions if you want to join!

The straight chain you are suggesting can also work but is a lot more difficult and time consuming to setup for the amount of people who sign up for this event and the difference in points is minimal with the straight chain vs the the group method.

That is all very true. It does require a little less work this way (though it's still a lot of work!), and we aren't limited to doing one signup at a time. So there's more time. But perhaps most importantly (and mentioned in the first post I believe) is that this way spreads the risk around more evenly. Since you don't get points for multiple levels of referrals anymore, in a straight chain if the person beneath you doesn't shop, you get no referral points at all. In a group it's evened out. We're definitely crazy for doing this, even more than before. Donations for the last two events were almost nonexistent, and we don't personally get any benefit from this.

You DO realize that Choco works full time, right? And you DO realize that Cyanne is a full time student, right?

If you followed the instructions, did what you were asked to by your group leader, then rest assured your group leader has done their part and confirmed that you did not mess up your registration. The fact that your name has not been marked bold does not imply at all that you have not been registered.

I myself only contacted those from whom I did not hear.....and I allowed much more than 24 hours!

Please people allow these ladies to do things their way...it's a proven method and they have lots of experience. I bill myself as anal and analytical, but Choco and Cyanne beat me ten fold!

That being said, donations to them for this personal time they have given to assure you the best reward are always appreciated. Please don't take advantage of their generosity!!!!!

We have more then three days left!!! There is absolutely NO reason to worry!

There is time....don't worry

[protectivedad]

There is time....don't worry

Yeah, there is time, but will the organizers have enough patience to put up with all the asinine questions and complaints about not receiving emails, etc? Will they get so fed up that they say ENOUGH?

Now, that is what ah_rain should be worried about.

Just from some of the questions, I'm wondering if they can't read the first posts, can't follow directions, will they even be able to find a Shoppers to shop at?

[chococrazy]

Had a crazy day of work, expect to work on the chain all night. Any questions that are in the FAQ, I'm just going to ignore because it's not worth my time.

Very valid point...I know that it's become a thorn in their sides firsthand.

I think from here one in, if a post doesn't say:

I read post 1, 2 and the FAQ but I still don't know the answer:D

Not only that but there should be a twit filter which automatically blocks them from being registered :) . I guarantee that would cut down on the dolt questions.

Of course that would be just more work :(

I have all the faith in the world that they'll manage this sign-up as well as they have the other ones...but I know that I have been checking my email repeatedly today because of the 24 hour turn-around time, which is new.

Maybe that accounts for some of the "twit" factor...I didn't want to miss out by not responding in time and getting bypassed!!

Anyway...people don't read instructions, ever...LOL.

Is anyone having issues login to SDM optimum points page? I just checked my points balance yesterday and it was fine. And today when i try to sign up by logging in, it's not working at all. Then I tried to check my balance, it gives me an "ERROR NULL" page.

And then I try to call and the automated system says my card number cannot be verified. HUH?

Ok I did make 3 returns to shoppers in the last week, did they cancel my card cuz i made 3 returns?

Sorry to disturb you. But I am still not in the list yet. So do I need to send the email again? I saw in the previous post that it is better not to do so but I am afraid the email got lost somehow. :(.

I really appreciate the job you have done here. It really takes a lot of time and good heart too. Thanks!!!!

How can we make a donation?

[Cyanne]

How can we make a donation?

The card number for this is 887076721.
http://www.shoppersdrugmart.ca/english/optimum/transfer_points/index.html

Also, I know I appreciate donations to the MS society of Canada: http://www.mssociety.ca/en/give/default.htm, and chococrazy supports this as well (thank you Chococrazy). Last year she participated in the MS walk for a cure (as well as the breast cancer run for a cure--that's chococrazy :D). I was diagnosed with MS almost 8 years ago, and thanks to all the research that's been done, I am still fully capable of organizing groups for SDM events! LOL. whoo! Let me know if you do this.

[mollymama]

I would like to challenge all of the participants in this event to donate 5 to 10% of the points they recieved directly from this sign up to the organizers.
Lets think about this for a second. You give a tip to say thanks to your hairdresser, to your waiter, for your coffee etc. and you paid for this service in the first place!

Cyanne and Chococrazy have offered us a way to accumulate points that we would not have otherwise been able to get if not for their hardwork. Take a moment to give a little something back.

Please see Cyanne's post above for instructions.

[twg]

I sent my email as per post #1 on March 31st. Reading post #2, I do not see my name in any of the groups, despite it says that the groups are accurate as of April 1st.

Should I be concerned at all ?

I sent my email using my gmail account whereas the email I provided is actually my hotmail, did that confuse things perhaps ?

thanks for all the efforts, I agree with the last post, I think we should ALL donate points, I would personally be willing to donate 10% of my expected return.

Yes... if you read her email, you would see in point 2 it says:

2. You should be at a page that has your Optimum number and your name on it. On the fourth line it should say

Please delete people's names in posts... I dont think that info should be made public on the forum.

Check posts #2 & 3 on the first page of the thread to see where you are.

It's different this time around, rather than sending emails themselves to advise that you're signed up, chococrazy & cyanne have designated "group leaders" who will be emailing you.

(I was confused too, because I was looking for an email from one of them and didn't think to check there at first.)

Don't forget to check your "junk" folder!

:)

edit: I just looked, and it doesn't look like you're on there yet, my apologies for the advice above if you'd already looked...I don't know if you emailed the sdm email address to tell them you wanted in or not, but I know that I had to do that to tell them I did (instead of just posting in the thread).

Quick question that may already be common knowledge: Are manufacturer coupons considered a form of payment or a discount? For example, if I buy $21 worth of stuff and use $5 in coupons, does that count as spending over $20?

What about those $10 Shoppers coupons I got for spending over $50 a few weeks ago?

Thanks very much.

Thanks very much.

The terms specify your total must be $20 after coupons. I know nothing about the SDM coupons, wasn't even aware of them. I imagine it depends how they're processed. If they're processed as coupons, with a -$!0 on your receipt, then no, they wouldn't count. If they're processed like GCs, a methos of payment, then yes.

[Zula]

Hi All,

I have a side question too!

Are you able to redeem Optimum points towards a gift card like Best Buy or Shoppers?

Thanks!

[can2000]

Hi All,

I have a side question too!

Are you able to redeem Optimum points towards a gift card like Best Buy or Shoppers?

Good question. If yes, we can redeem the GC when an even comes (like extra $50 VS $150 points redemption).

You do get regular points on SDM GCs
You do not get bonus or 20x points on GCs.
GCs do not count as part of your $20 purchase for this event, or as part of your purchase requirements for any other promotions.
You cannot redeem points for GCs.

Is my head spinning around yet?

Alright people.

It's Thursday night, and we're finding that the response has been overwhelming. We didn't think we'd get this much of a reaction... but we're close to hitting 50 groups!!!

We've been asking some of you to be group leaders, with varied success. We need just a few more (see post #2 for the exact number!) to ensure that everyone on RFD that wants to participate can :)

If:

- you want to be a group leader
- you will DEFINITELY shop at SDM on April 5th or 6th
- you do not have any friends or family that you have sent your link to, or will be sending your link to
- you are at LEAST a member (three or more circles under your user name)
- you can give us your card number, and login information (password, postal code or birth date)
- you want to be registered NOW instead of waiting (only if you're still on the waiting list)

We'll do the signups for you (since we're doing them on MSN now). Then, once SDM rewards you with your bonus points, you will distribute them amongst your members!!

Note that people who have already signed up with a group can STILL be a group leader!!!

It's actually pretty simple.

Let us know by emailing us at sdm@spendingsmarts.com

Don't forget to purchase $20 gift card first (earn regular points), and use that GC to pay for your purchase that day.

- you want to be a group leader
- you will DEFINITELY shop at SDM on April 5th or 6th
- you do not have any friends or family that you have sent your link to, or will be sending your link to
- you are at LEAST a member (three or more circles under your user name)
- you can devote a bit of time later tonight to send out emails to your groups, and a bit of time tomorrow to tell Cyanne and I who did not email to say that they registered so that we can give you new names
- you want to be registered NOW instead of waiting (only if you're still on the waiting list)

We'd ask that you keep track of your members for the next 24 hours, and then let us know who hasn't registered or emailed. Then, once SDM rewards you with your bonus points, you will distribute them amongst your members!!

Note that people who have already signed up with a group can STILL be a group leader!!!

It's actually pretty simple.

Let us know!!!

[sweety2004]

opps. I still dont understand.. . Could the grop leaders himself to be referred by his sponse since it seems there nobody refer the group leader in the group?

[cechlin]

wish i was 18

[willy]

wish i was 18
Why ?

[chococrazy]

Group leaders MUST be at least members. Sorry - no newbies. There's too much at stake to allow a new member to do it.

Group 39 - your group leader who did not respond within 24 hours has been replaced. A new one has been emailed your info. Hopefully you'll get your link soon!

[bullet]

ive been reading all over and i still dont get how to become part of this? can someone tell me what do i need to do to be part of a group. id like for my gf to particpate as well.

[tvwatcher]

step by step instructions are in post #1

[Necrosis]

I usually go in the nite before to buy my GC, but have bought the GC right before the main purchase! The clerk always wonders what I am up to ;)

I'll have to remember to do that this time. Might as well maximize those points!

Edit: What exactly does it take to be a member? Is it a minimum post count?

[chococrazy]

Yes, minimum post count :) That being said, we have asked some people who haven't reached member status yet to be group leaders if they've participated in a lot of our chains before.

OK... some news. Since we're getting down to the wire, we will now be doing signups through MSN Messenger. (we can no longer wait 24 hours for group members to respond).

We have a list of people that emailed their signups before we switched over to MSN. I'll be emailing these people to sign them up via MSN for the rest of the night (probably til about 1 or 1:30). After that, I will be posting the MSN id in the first post - and at that point, it's a free for all.

[digdoug]

hi, choco. I've registered and e-mailed my group leader. Just to confirm that the e-mail wasn't lost, I'm replying here. I was moved to group 31, pk_girlo's group. thanks.

[MartinaC32]

Don't forget....This weekend is also 10X the points if you spend $20. pre tax on LIFE BRAND products. That's IN ADDITION to the 5000 points you'll get for spending $20.00!

I can not remember the exact dates for this promotion but I think it's Apr 5 - 12. It should say on the website. I'm too lazy right now to include the link. Sorry.

[hellabella]

Also 10X on certain cleaning supplies! Mar22 to April 18!
Happy shopping everyone!

[hellabella]

Alright people.

It's Thursday night, and we're finding that the response has been overwhelming. We didn't think we'd get this much of a reaction... but we're close to hitting 50 groups!!!

Hi,

I just got the referal e-mail for Group 36, but the referal name is different from the Group Leader name. I just wanted to verify that the e-mail I received was in fact from savvy_mom.

Thanks!

i am out of group 43???:confused:

[DaVibe]

If you guys are doing the "I don't know what to buy" for $20 even, I would just be willing to shop around in the store and give your time to do that.
The stores have rolled out the spring and summer goods ... a lot of neat items that you probably aren't even thinking about when you walk into SDM.

Cleaning mits, cutting boards, under-bed clothing storage, candles, lotions ... they've even rolled out a 10-cup coffee maker this year.

Just look around!

[tasamy]

Can not wait for tomorrow!

Do they have the Gillette Mach 3 disposable razor?

I can buy it for $13 + 4L milk + 2 dozens eggs = $20. Then mail in rebate from Gillette.

Great success :cheesygri

[jehova]

Don't forget to purchase $20 gift card first (earn regular points), and use that GC to pay for your purchase that day.

You pay tax on the GC right? and you can use the GC to pay off the tax on your purchase on Saturday?

And also what kind of GC do you purchase, just the regular SDM one? On the SDM website -> http://www.shoppersdrugmart.ca/english/offers/special/gift_card/index.html it shows up as $10, $25, $50 denominations. So I'm guessing 2 x $10?

TIA~

[ellemea]

oh, i read the email again and msned my info again... waiting for response

things change so fast:rolleyes:

anyways thanks to the organizers

I usually buy the $25 one and just use the left over next time. Its easier for me at least

Hold on, I have her referral link, I'll PM it to you.

If you're waiting, dont worry. Cyanne is signing ppl up on MSN as fast as she can :)

MSN id still has not been released yet to everyone (just the ones that managed to get an email to us before midnight last night).

[chococrazy]

hi, choco. I've registered and e-mailed my group leader. Just to confirm that the e-mail wasn't lost, I'm replying here. I was moved to group 31, pk_girlo's group. thanks.

Sorry about that, she did report that you registered I just missed that email. The groups list post has been updated :)

[MartinaC32]

You do not pay tax when you purchase a GC. If you want a 20.00 GC you pay just that...$20.00. YOu pay tax on items purchased with the GC though.

Also, SDM has a reloadable GC so if you don't want to buy 2X10 or even a $25.00 GC ask the cashier for a reloadable GC and put whatever amount of money you want on it.

[darlee]

just missed the deadline of signning up thru email. shall i wait for the msn id to be posted or maybe give up of participating this event?

[ellemea]

WOW!!! that makes it even hotter...but may i ask where do u find that MIR? is it on the razor itself?

[Silv3r]

Hey what's the deal, Im no longer a part of team 43 and I haven't received any instructions from anyone to register (team 43 had no leader).
If I got emailed something to my hotmail / msg sent to MSN today (nothing received as of 7:30 AM this morning) I will not be able to check it until a few hours from now because my workplace blocks everything.

Is there a way to get a PM on here with instructions for registration? that would simplify things quite a bit.

Thanks

[tasamy]

Is there any way I can still sign up?

[don242]

Is there any way I can still sign up?

Yes. See the first post.

Since they are down to the end they are doing MSN signups so you need to wait for them to post the messenger ID.

[hardywang]

Is there any way I can still sign up?

Check you PM.


Except that you be part of the groups being organized here. This would be fatkinglet's own personal group outside of this RFD setup. Not saying he won't share the points but just to let people know.

Yes, that's the whole point why we are making group here.

[jrs101]

Sign Me Up Please!!!!!!!! Ty, Jrs101

[c5ho]

Check you PM.



Yes, that's the whole point why we are making group here.

Ok...so the MSN ID will be posted sometime tomorrow morning? Is there any deadline to sign up for this thing, according to SDM? As in, if I sign up tomorrow and then refer my family members, its still viable?

Thanks.

[don242]

Yes, that's the whole point why we are making group here.

I realize that. I was just making sure others were aware that this person was trying to set up his own group outside of the groups being managed in this thread by C&C.

[chococrazy]

OK people listen up!!!!

Cyanne is online right now signing up ppl that got in before the deadline. Soon we'll post the MSN id on the thread, so that those stragglers left can join as well. I'm insisting Cyanne take some time to grab some food, because I suspect she hasn't eated lunch yet.

I'm going to be online until very late tonight signing people up on MSN. I was up until 3 AM EST doing it this morning. Anyone posting that they have a referral link will be reported to the mods (because, as everyone knows, referral links are not allowed on the forums).

Note if you join under anyone else's link, as it was mentioned above - will not get you any bonus points.

[chococrazy]

As long as you sign you and your family members up before you shop, it's fine.

what's going on with my group ? Group 36... there are 3 people that we're waiting for responses and it's been over 24hours... I don't want to be in a group that only has 7 members...

Patience. They will fill in groups during the live msn signups. It also could be they haven't received an update yet from the group leader or they haven't posted the updated information.

I know metalman was looking for the link earlier and chococrazy sent it to him for the group leader so I assume that person had signed up.

[chococrazy]

Did you want us to bypass you then, and add someone to the group?

Sorry, that's a bit harsh. But still had to be said.

FYI: -IF- we didn't sign up anyone else to the group (not saying that's the case, since we can't do updates every couple of minutes!!!!) there would be 7 members, so 35,000 points.

Divide that by 8 people (includes the group leader):

35,000 / 8 = 4375 extra points.

[chococrazy]

I know metalman was looking for the link earlier and chococrazy sent it to him for the group leader so I assume that person had signed up.

Metalman emailed that he did register, I just have to confirm it with the group leader before the post gets updated.

[Octavius]

Seriously, wtf is wrong with most of you people? :mad:

Demanding this, requesting that, everything is about "you" "you" you".

I'm sure Choco and Cyanne are well aware of the issues at hand and that everything will likely be resolved before the shopping days without people like you barging in and demanding to be moved to a different group because only 7 members have confirmed their registration.

Everyone needs to remember that these girls are doing a whole lot of work here to benefit the RFD community. The world doesn't revolve around you.

If you're going to act like a three year old, don't join the chain and do your shopping on your own. Your whining doesn't help anyone - including yourselves.

Don't like it? Don't sign up and don't shop.

It doesn't matter if your group only has 7...6 of them may not shop...what then? You'll end up with a very small amount of points anyway.

Seriously, people need to STFU and stop complaining about something they're putting no time and effort into just to get an extra 4500 bonus points.

[chococrazy]

k, let's move on from this :) Cyanne is munching away on her lunch.. when she's done, I expect us to post the MSN id up on the first post!!! Please be kind to her.. no doubt she will get a flood of windows popping up. She'll do it on a first to message, first served.

Remember you have to message her:

1. Will you 100% shop April 5th or April 6th?
2. RFD user name
2. Shoppers Optimum card (last nine digits)
3. Email address
4. MSN Messenger address

IF you have to leave if she doesn't get to you, message in the window that you've left and that you will re-message to get back in the queue when you sign back on again.

We -could- have just said, that's it, no more registrations but we're going to be working through the night to get as many ppl as possible signed up. Also, if you have questions, PLEASE don't ask in the chat window.. direct them here and someone will answer them.

[WDmagic]

i msn Cyanne at 10am this morning. she told me i am the fourth person (in line i guess). it's nearly 4pm now. i still haven't receive a referral link. i will be leaving office in an hour & no access to msn on the road. what should i do?

Can you message her again? AND can you email me your MSN messenger address at sdm@spendingsmarts.com

Edited: just spoke with Cyanne, she says: "I asked if he was ready a bunch of times, and nothing!"

If we MSN you to ask if you're ready, and you don't respond... we're going to bypass you. You have to respond to our questions!!!!! We're not just going to paste the link in 10 windows and hope that you all register.

Message her again to say that you're ready, and she'll sign you up.

I have sent the message to sdm@spendingsmarts.com about those 5 questions, but not being added to the group yet. I guess I have to wait......

Chill out ... There's not a huge difference in terms of total points once you have more than 4 members in a group ... Let's take a look ...


# Tot bonus pts Bonus pts / person Diff from previous level
1 5000 2500
2 10000 3333 833
3 15000 3750 417

8 40000 4444 69
9 45000 4500 56
10 50000 4545 45

Adding the 8th person to your group, you will receive 69 more points ... but that's less than 1% of your 9400+ points ...

Now let's take a deep breath .... Exhale .....

You are 100% sure you've looked thru your Junk/Spam mailbox folders, right ?

[seb33]

You can log in again and click on the button to have them send you another invitation email. Just go back to the original email you signed up with and after clicking on register now you click on log in at the top instead of register. Could it be that Shoppers sent your confirmation and invitation to another email account that you have?

Yes. Go to http://www.shoppersdrugmart.ca/tellafriend and log in. You should come to a page that says "0 friends registered". OK.. what email does it say on that page??? Check that email address for your invitation. If you dont find it there or if you can't check that email:

1. Leave the browser open
2. Open a new window and go to http://www.shoppersdrugmart.ca/english/optimum/update_profile/index.html
3. Enter your info
4. Update your email address to one that you can check and hit Save (or submit, whatever the button says)
5. Now go back to your "0 friends registered" page and refresh the page... you should see the email address changed. When it does, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Send me the invite". It will send it to the new email address!

Agree. They put a lot of effort into these events and they put a lot of effort into making them fair and making sure that mistakes are minimal. When these events started a few years back, chains were formed but it usually ended up to the benefit of the few. C&C work hard to make sure it benefits everyone as equally as possible The amount of time they put into these is just crazy.

I hope everyone shops tomorrow or Sunday and does their part so all this effort isn't in vain.

As someone mentioned up the thread it is in today's flier spend $20 on life products get 10X the points. Also some food items buy any 4 get 1000 points (granted, probably overpaying more then the 1000points are worth)

[c5ho]

Thanks C&C! This is my first time doing this, thanks for all the hard work!

[secret-_-angel]

From time to time what I do is

1. Purchase $20 gift card with my CIBC Optimum VISA

2. Use this $20 gift card on the same day and pay the difference with my CIBC Optimum Visa

Is this still okay?

Yea, you can.

[twg]

I didn't mean for my post to sound like criticism for the hardwork put in by C&C or anyone else that is contributing, but more towards the people that didn't respond within 24hrs.

I'd have hoped that people that want to be signed up would do everything they can to ensure that it goes smoothly without causing undue stress to the organizers.

No disrespect for the organizers and if taken that way, I apologize.

[Cyanne]

hi guys,

Well chococrazy's on now, so I just had time to catch up on the thread. Should I post our list of suggestions of things to buy again?

In terms of making the most of your purchase, I'd recommend stayig close the the $20 mark (before taxes, after coupons). For larger purchases there's a 20x event (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=563748&highlight=sdm+20x) coming up March 22nd, so I'd save those for that.

20$ seems really easy to spend to me. Her in Quebec, the price of milk went up everywhere except pharmaprix recently, and that is a large chuck of it right there!

Coupons? What coupons?

Also, I tried registering earlier on MSN but i didn't get a reply yet and then i was out for the evening. I just sent another MSN registration. Should I just wait to hear back in the morning? Thanks for all the hard work!

[MartinaC32]

Holy crap that's a lot of people signed up. I hope everyone is able to shop and not just signing up thinking they may or may not shop.

It's a lot of hard work on behalf of the organizers to do all of this.

It might be wise in the future to decline anyone that tries to sign up for a chain that said they would shop this time around and didn't without a valid explanation.

Happy Shopping today everyone!

Thanks again to the organizers and my group leader!

just back from shopping!:cheesygri
it was soo easy to fill $20 with cleansers and vitamins. On the 'buy $50 or more' days I always have trouble getting $50 worth of stuff.
Plus, they still had easter chocolates left and they were marked down even further.

[dealgini]

I have a question. I saw the flyer and they say you have to spend $20 on Life Brand stuff. So can I buy anything for $20 or only Life Brand stuff?

Thanks! I've done my $20 worth of shopping. $9.99 of it went towards my freebie Mach 3 disposable that I'll get rebated. It was much easier to spend $20 than to spend $50.

You will not see any of the bonus points on the receipt for this event. They will appear in a week into your accounts. The referral points will appear in your group leader's account later as well at which time they will divide them up.

If you buy $20 of Life brand today and get the 10X points, those will show up today on your receipt.

I'd take a look at your receipt again if I were you.

You're supposed to have AT LEAST 200 points from a $20.00 purchase (pre-tax) on eligible products.

If you've only got 180 points...it means you spent less than $20.00 before tax on eligible goods for this promotion.

Assuming you shopped properly (I don't see how you could have for only 180 points) then the 5k will show up in your account in a week...

Check me off for spending $20 ++ today. Receipt saved

[kayoko]

Okay so referral points appear in a week's time. My question is, does it just appear as a total sum or is it nicely written out like bank statements?

I've got my own set of referrals (maximize points!) so I was wondering if there's anyway to differentiate between the RFD chain's points and my own chain's points? Or do I have to do some math in the end?

p.s. Shopped my $20. couldn't make the $20 LB bonus though =(

i did my shopping today, 35 bux before taxes. even thought im running on a fever, i still went to do my shopping.

[skywalker]

I just shopped $25+ goods. But at the cashier she gave me a new Optimum card to replace the old card.
And in the recepits still shown the old card number and points balance.

Will this cause problem and trouble?:(

I just check the points balance online, but old card shows 0 and can not get access new card # online yet.

I've had three cashiers so far attempt to change my old Optimum card with a new one. Each time they said "Oh, you have the old Optimum card...I'll just go ahead and upgrade that for you".

I tell them absolutely not and that if they ever wanted me to shop at Shoppers again then they'd let me keep my current card. Oftentimes, they just give it back to me and leave it be...another time a cashier told me it was mandatory for me to upgrade (BS), I then demanded to talk to a manager. At that point she just scanned my card and gave it back to me and she told me that "eventually" I will be forced to upgrade my card.

I thanked her kindly for the warning, grabbed my purchases and my old Optimum card, and walked out.

I absolutely refuse to upgrade to the new card...so long as my current card still registers in their system (unless they're willing to give me like 5000 points for switching) then I'm going to keep my old card.

Shopped this morning. If anybody in the north toronto/thornhill area is looking for stuff to buy, the bathurst and centre location had an amazing selection of Easter chocolate on for great prices. I was able to get some REALLY cheap lindor Easter eggs.

[dealgini]

I am in group 15 and I shopped for $20.xx dollars (before taxes).

[twg]

well, i looked at my receipt again, and it turns out one of the items that was suppose to be 12.99 actually scanned in at 9.49 due to a sale. When I asked the cashier for the pre-tax total, she told me 21 when in fact that was the POST-tax total.

I guess I'll be going back to shoppers to buy more stuff, this time $20+ for sure... sigh... at least the items i bought were on sale.

You could just bring your items back and return them, then re-purchase them. Tell them that you were told the pre-tax total was 21.

[protectivedad]

The terms specify your total must be $20 after coupons. I know nothing about the SDM coupons, wasn't even aware of them. I imagine it depends how they're processed. If they're processed as coupons, with a -$!0 on your receipt, then no, they wouldn't count. If they're processed like GCs, a methos of payment, then yes.

This is actually not correct. The wording is pre-tax total after discounts and redemptions. A "manufacturers" coupon is not a discount it is a form of tender.

Most manufacturers coupons are entered using 2001 code on the cash registers which does NOT effect the pre-tax total. For example, on MANY of the 20x events after spending $50 I have spent $50 - coupons to come in under $50 and still receive the 20x automatically on the receipt. The key is that although I've spent $48 in cash the regular points still say 510, for example. I have had this conversation with MANY cashiers when they told me I wouldn't get the points, only to be surprised when I did.

The "catch" to this is if you use a "free" product coupon the cashier will enter is using 2002 code which DOES reduce the "pre-tax" total. In this instance the bonus points will NOT be given and neither will regular points.

Now, in my opinion the Shoppers system is treating the free product coupons incorrectly. They are a form of tender, with specific conditions. Just, like cash, visa, gift cards, etc. I have called them after using a free product coupon and had them give me the points, but since the system doesn't recognise it, I won't suggest it.

I think the SDM coupon is the "voucher" they switched to instead of the gift card for the "buy $50 get $10 voucher, buy $75 get $20 voucher".

[mapleflag]

I tried to pm my group 7 leader (DeidreF) with cc to chococrazy, Cyanne & 3Weddings to let DeidreF know that SDM changed my Optimum Card to a new one. Since it was my old Optimum Card # that was registered with the RFD group, I think I will need to shop again using the new # in order for Deidre to get the points for our group. Can anyone confirm if this is what I need to do? I tried to reach SDM but couldn't.

Anyway, I included the new # in my pm but it came back saying chococrazy's quota has been reached. Would the others receive my pm?

Thanks,

Shopped this morning....bought some groceries which was easy to hit $20.

Could someone clear up the confusion.

From what I've read the 5000 bonus points will show up in a week or so and if everyone in the group shopped, the 4545 referral points will show up as a web transaction after they're allocated to everyone by the group leader - is this right?

[don242]

Hope this is ok - if not please pm me - so will shop again tom!!! No bonus nor referral pts showing - understand these should show up within the week.


Looks like you spent enough. The 5000 points will show up in approximately a week. The referral points will follow shortly after. When the points arrive, be patient for the referral points. They will get divided up but it will depend on if everyone shopped (or owns up to not shopping) as to how fast they get distributed. When the time comes I will be sure to keep everyone in the group up to date on the status of the distributions.

You could just bring your items back and return them, then re-purchase them. Tell them that you were told the pre-tax total was 21.

Ya, that's exactly what I did. I added one more item so I'm now $20+.

Wii Points Card should count, right:?:

Check your reciept closely for the extra points for life brand.

My daughter didn't get any bonus points for buying the life brand bio life toilette paper.
The manager had to give her points for that one. He was nice he gave 2000 points for 3 packs.

group 42 - I've done my shopping today - just to make sure I got above 20 dollars I even bought a bag of maltesers (!). Got a whole bunch of ragu sauce and some life brand soup for 99 cents. Will go back tomorrow for the 2.99 vaseline lotion...

[hellabella]

Did my duty! Spent +$20 pre-tax, life-brand bonuses included! Thanks so much chococrazy , Cyanne, 3weddings, don242 and all the other group leaders!! Awesome job people!

[mmhassa2]

Did my shopping for group 19...Total came to $20.45 PRE Tax.

Just a quick question it shows that I was credit 200 points for the purchase BUT I bought Electrasol Washing detergent and it said about receiving 10X points....but seems like it didn't show up on my balance...so do these points also show up after a week or do I need to go back and ask them to add the points?

[twinstars318]

Got an extra 2000 points spending the $20 on Life brand products + credit card points. Thank you organizers and GL.

The easiest way is for the group leaders to put the names of their groups up and highlight the names that have shopped.

Please remember to email your group leaders that you have shopped.

Great Work Leaders. I went to the Laurleaf / Steeles (Between Bayview and Leslie) location today and picked up 20 (and a few cents) +tax worth of stuff.

The good thing was that they had a clearance table with 90% off. So I managed to not only save LOTS -- I managed to get a nice chunk of points (From this promo).

Cudos!

I believe it would work.
Many people recieved bonus points for buying life brand items.

[ah_rain]

bought 28.24 before taxes.....

does anyone know if i can do a refund at a different SDM which is not the original location (SDM) I bought my stuff?

[salt_26]

i lost my optimum card which i regisered.
i was using it at shopers and the cashier forgot to return it to me . called the SDM location and they said they return them to the head office . they get tonnes of them and they send them back to head office.
called 1800 shopper and they said they have not received my card from the store. However, they can transfer my ponts to a new card. i would have to get a new card , call customer service, and they would tansfer the points.
unfortunately i could not call CS on time to transfer the points as they closed at 8 pm on saturdays.. so i cannot shop now as i do not have my card physically

please suggest what i should do?
i have old optimum card number. Am i able to add the points manually (without having the physical card) when i shop today? Then i could have those points transferred over to my new optimum card? thanks

[MartinaC32]

It depends on a few things

a) What is the product?
b) Was it on clearout?
c) Was it seasonal clearout?
d) Does the store you're returning it to actually sell that particular product?

If you do a refund on the portion spent to obtain the 5000 bonus points you will also not receive them if the refund takes your pre-tax limit below $20.00.

The cashier has to scan your card. They are not allowed to manually enter your optimum card. There is no possible way for YOU to manually add the points. It has to be done through a cash register.

You could get a new Optimum card and shop with that one. Then call 1-800-Shoppers and ask them to transfer your old points to your new card. Then once that is finished explain to them that you joined the secret referral event and maybe they can trade your old number for your new number in the referral chain so that YOU and your group leader get the 5000 bonus points.

Hope that helps.

In any case I would get a new card and shop with it spending at least $20.00 and then work with SDM head office about the secret points. If you don't shop tomorrow they can't give you 5000 points. It's worth a try.

[salt_26]

i dont have the physical card. i could get a new one today and register the new card for the Referral Event by contacting Cyanne or Chococrazy.

This is what I would do. In the morning go to the Shoppers and fill out a new form, and check off that it is a replacement for the lost card. Then I would ask to use the phone to call the 1-800 shoppers number. They can set it up so that the information is moved over immediately (within 40 minutes or so). Then I would shop and purchase the $20+ using the new card.

Later in the week, say Wednesday, call the 1-800 shoppers and make sure the information for the promotion has been properly transfered.

As long as the original shoppers card has been signed up for the event, you should have no problem getting the points and have the referrer get the points.

[Cyanne]

i dont have the physical card. i could get a new one today and register the new card for the Referral Event by contacting Cyanne or Chococrazy.

Because you've already signed up for this event, this actually isn't too difficult to fix at all. As protective dad said, it's quite quick and easy to get a replacement card. You don't even have to worry about filling out the form, you can, but it won't actually be necessary. Get a new card, then call 1-800-shopper immediately and tell them you need to transfer your account to this new card because you lost the old one. Unlike when you try to get a new card activated for online use, they won't give you any trouble doing this. They'll likely say you can login within an hour, but you can use it right away. ALL your account information, including your event registration, should be transferred to the new card. No worries :). I'd probably call before I shopped, to be safe, but that can be done in the same trip.

LOL... Basically what protectivedad said :D Only you should be able to log in online within the hour.

"If you are a new Shoppers Optimum Member, your profile information may not
have reached our online system yet. We still want you to be able to take advantage
of the Tell A Friend Points Event, but unfortunately you will not be able to
participate in our referral program."

There are a few different ways to post pictures on RFD. The way I know is opening an account with photobucket.com (it is free).
Upload your photo to photobucket. Then it will give you 4 choices to put it on RFD. The choice you would need is the img code.

It normally takes a few weeks to be entered into the online system. Unless you can get someone at 1-800-shopper to add you manually, you're out of luck this time, for the referral.This is pretty last-minute. They probably will give you your 5000 though. That's the same message people with new cards used to get when these events involed 20x points. They could get the 20x, but not be referred.

[caliente]

Only earned 210 points today!?

I thought you were supposed to get 5000 today from shopping, and then 5000 bonus points would go to the group leader on April 11th.

Dangit, you're right. closed Sunday. Ok, I recommend doing this: get a new card, and mark it as being a replacement. Shop with the new card. Then tomorrow, when they're open, call and finalize the transfer. It's not ideal since you'll be shopping before the transfer is made, but I'd give it a 90% chance of working since none of this is processed until next week anyway. You can always talk to a rep to push it through if there's trouble. You won't be able to log in with the new card right away for sure. It's a waste of time to even try.

Does anyone know if you have to sign up referral first before shopping? or can you shop then sign up referral? I didn't know my dad was going to shop but he ended up shopping. I signed him up after he shopped. Should I do a return and buy back?

[salt_26]

u need to register your card first before u shop. otherwise they wont know whether to give u the bonus points
technically your dad can return the items and buy them back if he registered his card .

Was there the fine prints indicate that the item with bonus points would not be counted into $20.

Check your receipt see if you get bonus points, if your purchase is slightly more than $20 then SDM might NOT qualify you.

Was there the fine prints indicate that the item with bonus points would not be counted into $20.

Check your receipt see if you get bonus points, if your purchase is slightly more than $20 then SDM might NOT qualify you.


BONUS POINTS ARE FINE! You can take advantage of multiple offers. You can't take advantage of multiple offers TOGETHER. So say one life brand product has 500 bonus point. And the purchase of $20 of life brand products gives you 10x points. What you'll get is 10x points PLUS 500 points. But you won't get 10x500points+10x points. The offers can't be used together.

shoppers never fails to make my shopping experience frustrating on these special event days :mad:

the cashier processed my order and charged my credit card before i was done buying all my items... she thought the last two items i placed was the customer's behind me... she cashed me out at $14.46 subtotal

so i had to wait until she called the supervisor to refund everything to my credit card and repurchase all my items plus the missing two items

anyways... heres my purchase

post selects $1.99
kellogg special K bars 2 for $5.00
dove deodorant $2.99
christies wheat low $1.49

THEN I used my Mom's, sister's, daughter's and another card for purchases of $20+ each. Boy am I rolling in points or what?

AND I coughed my way through the whole shopping experience. - ha ha

BY THE WAY, I DID NOT HAVE MY DAUGHTER'S CARD, BUT THE SUPERVISOR TOLD THE SALESGIRL THAT SHE COULD PUNCH IN THE NUMBER SO THAT MY DAUGHTER COULD GET THE POINTS. YAYAYYAYAY!

[pepperMonkey]

Strangely overspent. $28.xx before tax, $30+ after.
Yeah, bought some unplanned items ;)

[lorax]

group 25
I overspent also, I thought I would need to spend some time to find something I wanted. Took me about 30 sec. before I started to overspend :o

[HammerTime]

You do get regular points on SDM GCs
You do not get bonus or 20x points on GCs.
GCs do not count as part of your $20 purchase for this event, or as part of your purchase requirements for any other promotions.
You cannot redeem points for GCs.

I think I may give it a shot and try to redeem points for a SDM GC the next time there is a redemption event. I know it will likely be unsuccessful but the fine print does appear to suggest that it is allowed:

*Shoppers Optimum Points are awarded based on net (purchase price less discounts) pre-tax purchases. Shoppers Optimum Points are not awarded and may not be redeemed on cigarettes and tobacco (where sold), gifts with purchase, bus tickets, passes, pre-paid phone cards, electronic gift cards (excluding Shoppers Drug Mart gift cards), lottery tickets, blah, blah, blah.

[Trym]

Group 7: Done my part.
Cheers

[3weddings]

So does this mean every one of us shopped in those groups (more specifically, group 4, the group I'm in ;))?

Have I ever let you guys down? hehe

I REALLY overspend on dh's card ;)

You should have seen the cashier....I confuddled the world out of her!!
1) Buy $50 GC (comments that no points for it, I set her straight)
2) Buy hubbies half of the basket using GC
3) Put my purchases on counter (use remainder of GC and debit)

[deep]

Good to see my group checking in (yay 45, yay 45).

How sad that this kind of activity is perhaps the most exiciting thing to happen to me today. Maybe it's time for some heroin.

[manytwos]

Purchase pre-tax $21.xx, group 20

Thanks protectivedad for explaining the coupon thing. I was wondering why I paid $21 and got 260 points on the receipt. And the code 2001 is RIGHT there.

Once again thank you C&C and others for organizing this.

You mean they switched you from the burgundy card to the white one? I've had to fight with cashiers to not change it on me during the big referral chains in the past. They say it shouldn't affect anything, but I personally prefer not to take the chance.

:cool:

[Chew300ZX]

Group 30, shopped Sunday night, spent $21.70 pre tax. Milk was on sale and the place was pretty much raided, no skim left, I had to buy .5%, not that there's much of a difference.

Thanks!

[mapleflag]

I made a purchase for $20
but the problem is, I switched over to the new card before I made the purchase..

now I dont even know if it will count towards the referral bonus.. Can anyone shed some light?

The same thing happened to me. I pm'd the organizers with my new # (chococrazy's mailbox was apparently full and I don't know whether the others got my pm. I also emailed Group 7's Leader).

SDM Rep does not think the referral points will automatically be given. He said the one who referred me will have to call them and provide my new # when s/he finds that points are missing for the group.

[mapleflag]

:cool:

I did not want them to do this either, but the cashier/asst.manager insisted all the info will be transferred to the new card.

Hopefully, he's right and the SDM Rep was wrong in saying the referral points for the Group Leader will not be given automatically and s/he will need to call in the new #.

[zenith]

You poor thing Chococrazy! Get well soon. I know how you feel. I was/am sick - no fever but hacking cough and sore throat and ears like you would not believe - 'tis the season I guess. Keep well all you RFDers out there! ;)

[suoxin]

and earned 210 points... I am in group 6:) .

[Cyanne]

To be honest, though I've been saving all SDM-related emails in its own folder, I haven't been paying much attention to shopping reports. I'm sort of hoping all group leaders get the max and there's no need. If not though... then we'll have to investigate. Those reports will be very handy, indeed. Thanks to those who reported and especially, shopped. Classes ended for me yesterday (still one exam), so I'll get right on it when points are awarded. IF anyone didn't shop, we'd be much obliged if they'd just confess and save us all a lot of trouble.

For those who are wondering, points should show up in your account by this weekend. Group leaders will be able to see them here:
www.shoppersdrugmart.ca/tellafriend/
or
www.pharmaprix.com/tellafriend/
(just showing off my own cleverness;))

the rest of you, unless you referred someone on your own, won't see the number on your page change at all. When you check your account balance, however, there will be an extra line: "promotional bonus points". which will say 5000 (more if you referred others). See you folks then!

[xansmommy]

We're currently performing maintenance on our server. (on sdm link), wonder if the points earned will show soon?

Laura

[don242]

Well the points earned are showing up for the event now.

Group 1 - 50,000 earned so all 10 shopped

Group 14 - 50,000 earned so all 10 shopped

Group 22 - 45,000 earned so 9 out of the 10 shopped

The points are not in the optimum account yet (probably Friday) but SDM posted the points earned from the event.

[aquafina sucks]

Good news!

Groups 32 & 33 everybody shopped!

Thanks don242 for letting us know that the points earned have been updated. We'll just have to wait for the points to be credited to our accounts.

[clove-2000]

Referral points earned are posted on the event page when you logged in. Only the group leaders will see the points for the referrals (unless you referred people on your own).

The actual points however are not in your optimum account yet. SDM said they would put them in on Apr 11. So until then you won't see the 5000 bonus points nor will your group leader have the referral points yet.

Group 4 50,000 points earned :cheesygri I do however have a problem....I have 11 members registered in this group. Please note, that I will only distribute to the 10 that signed up under this program.

WTG participants....when the points are deposited, I will distribute them

[3weddings]

Point earned showed in the Referral Login page, but still haven't deposited the point in the account, correct?

Correct, this will likely occur tomorrow.

[Hot Like Wasabi]

For those who weren't aware of it, there was a change to the way points are distributed for the Optimum program:

http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=566659

All points which aren't a multiple of 10 are now useless to individual card holders. In other words, if you have 25,249 points, those 9 points now have no value since SDM is now awarding points in multiples of 10.

For those that will be donating some points to Chococrazy & Cyanne, why not kick in those additional points? Worthless to individual members, but worth something if they're all combined onto one card!

[AmberMoon]

Just checked my link at it says 50,000 points earned so if thats correct it looks like all 10 shopped ( YIPPIEEE ) so once i get the points ill contact the girls and they will tell us how to do it

[don242]

Group 29
45000 total points earned
50000 total points possible

I am hoping Shoppers simply hasn't finished giving out the points.

I hate having to ask my group for receipts and find the liar :evil:

Maybe they all shopped but someone bought something that didn't qualify. If it comes to looking at the receipts pay attention to the number of regular points earned. Also once the points are distributed someone will not receive the 5000 points for shopping so hopefully that were will let you know. At least then you know where the problem is, then it will just be a matter of figuring out if the person didn't buy qualified items or if SDM messed up.

Hey guys, just finished updating the first few posts--for now. Please, anyone who didn't shop confess. We'll be a lot more forgiving if you just tell us so rather than if we have to track you down and find out anyway. Also, if you ran into trouble that might have caused problem let us know--we may be able to help. it's looking pretty good...

[angiek]

Group 15 and 19

Thank-you for shopping :cheesygri

[hellabella]

transferred points to c & c! Thanks again!

[Ilikedealsss]

Hi leader, any news for Group 34?

[ah_rain]

Thanks for such great thing.. got my promotional bonus 5000 =P
just waiting for the points from the leader now.. hehe *no rush* (grp 36)

just want to say thank you to all of you who are in the events..... Thanks again =) I am happy to join this chain the 2nd time ... =P

[Bastich]

Group 35 has been pretty quiet, but everyone appears to have shopped. Good stuff... will distribute points shortly.

:cool:

UPDATE: All points have been transferred. Thanks, group!

[jmalias]

Group 28 - Group Leader: jmalias - status: 50,000 points earned out of 50,000!!!

All points have been transfered.

Lets all meet at our local Harvey's for a free burger!!! :D

[deep]

Cyanne/Chococrazy: How do I distribute the points - I don't have the optimum card numbers...
Ditto!

[jpthornhill]

Group 20 - jpthornhill - Confirmed 4546 points has been transferred by group leader, thank you.

Also thanks again to C&C. Will transfer some points to C&C account tomorrow.

[Cyanne]

Ok, I'm up! I'm awake!

Dang SDM for transferring points early. Ummm... wait a second... I will update the first few posts now, and email the MSN group leaders optimum numbers. Please standby :)

[mollymama]

I would like to challenge all of the participants in this event to donate 5 to 10% of the points they recieved directly from this sign up to the organizers.
Lets think about this for a second. You give a tip to say thanks to your hairdresser, to your waiter, for your coffee etc. and you paid for this service in the first place!

Cyanne and Chococrazy have offered us a way to accumulate points that we would not have otherwise been able to get if not for their hardwork. Take a moment to give a little something back.

Please see Cyanne's post above for instructions.


Good to see some are making donations! I will be making mine as soon as points are received from my group leader.

Donations number is 887076721

In the meantime I have a question for sdm optimum gurus. When I check my balance this morning it looks like this:

Current Points Balance: 66,515
Next Reward Level 75,000
HEALTHWATCH 1,020
PROMOTIONAL BONUS POINTS 10,020

I got 10,000 points for shopping for myself and referring my husband so why 10,020? Though maybe something to do with my healthwatch point but it show 11,020 if this were the case.

[suoxin]

Group 6 leader, any updates? thanks

[jsinb88]

Group 15 and 19

Your points should be in your account. Each person recieved 4545 points

Thank-you for shopping :cheesygri

Thanks Angiek...confirm that I have received the points. The organizers and the group leaders did a fantastic job.

[worldgirl]

Group 8 - Group Leader: worldgirl - all points have been distributed!!!

Group 9 - Group Leader: worldgirl (mom) - all points have been distributed (except kutie1205 - I've sent you an email requesting your card number)!!!

Thanks again!

[3weddings]

Just a gentle reminder....

Don't forget to donate to C&C for their efforts!!! They deserve the points.

I think it would even be fair for each group of 10 to skim 5000 points off the top for their hard work before distributing to the members!! That's only 10% of each group members take!

[CSR]

Group 8 - Group Leader: worldgirl - all points have been distributed!!!

Group 9 - Group Leader: worldgirl (mom) - all points have been distributed (except kutie1205 - I've sent you an email requesting your card number)!!!

[zalapski]

Any update on group 24?

Just checked my account and I have received the 5000 points but not the 4,545 points from our group 24 leader Majeus. What is the status?

Thank you to C & C for all your help in organizing this.

[mapleflag]

My Promotional Points for shopping using my new Card, as well as for referring people under my old Card# are now in my Optimum Balance. Proof that SDM keeps the old # with the new one ;)

If my Group Leader (DeirdreF) received all the possible points from Group 7, I would like to request that instead of transferring the points to me, my points should be donated to the organizers as well as to Group 7. Consider it my way of saying thank you, not just to the RFD/SDM Group but to RFD for all the savings I've realized since joining RFD. Hopefully, in a small way, this will make up for the fact I have not been able to post good deals, yet ;)

[Cyanne]

I am administrating Majesus' group for him, and he only got a total of 40,000 points out of a possible 50,000 :(. Consequently, I will be requesting confessions and/or receipts.

[crazybear]

Any update on group 6?

[Hot Like Wasabi]

Group 13 - 4545 points have been transferred to each of your accounts.

Chococrazy/Cyanne - 1090 points transferred to your account.

[vitaminJ]

Group 17 and 18 ... Points received.

Thanks Jade, got your email saying Groups 17 and 18 each got 50000 out of 50000! Congratulations to group 17! My sdm points show all my points except the referal points, so let us know when they're distributed Jade!

Also i suggest everyone send a point donation to the volunteers for their efforts. :)

Well that was a nice little test of the SDM Optimum system!

That is very kind and generous of you, I have donated 2745 (2/3) of your points to C & C, 200 each to our group and donated 1000 of my points to C & C. I have also distributed everybody's 4545 points to Group 7.

Thanks everybody!

Just PM and email each of them and tell them the situation. The non-shopper will probably let you know so you can figure out the rest.

I've transferred 4545 points to each of 10 recipients for my group 10.

They didn't all report to me they had shopped (only 2 reported) but I got all 50K bonus points.

I have done both your suggestions and twice already. Note that two members are newbies and probably don't have a clue how to respond to or use the PM system. Those two also have hotmail addresses so based on personal experience, I tend not to check my own hotmail very often and a lot of it gets filtered as spam or junk.

What more can I do to members who don't simply respond??? It's obvious they don't know the rules.

I am in group 6 and got 4500 as well. Thanks to the op and the group leader!

[passthatversace]

Quick question!

My total bill for the event was $29.02. If I EXCHANGE some of the items that I purchased for something else with a similar value (that is, my total bill WON'T drop below $20 after the exchange), will they take the bonus points away from me?

[jcipher]

Any updates on Group 27 - Group Leader: Necrosis (mom)? I've done my shopping last week and received the 5000 points bonus yesterday.

[don242]

Groups 1, 14 and 22. All points have been transferred.

[fatpiggy]

My early Christmas wish: God please update the first page so that I don't have to check this thread all the time!!!:cheesygri

[gr8dlr]

Noticed I got the 5000 bonus points....

I think we should make notes of those who signed up and did not shop as it deprives the others of their lost points. Perhap we should ban them from the next round or can we take points from them?

Thanks for all the RFD members who stepped up to help the community (Cyanne, Chococrazy, the group leaders etc - sorry if I missed anyone significant).

[zalapski]

All right fess up, who did not shop? Our group currently has the worst success rate.


Group 24 - Group Leader: Group Leader: Cyanne (friend - Majeus) - status: 40,000 points earned out of 50,000!!!
--2 group members appear to not have shopped!!!

[masterc]

OK here is an update:

Group 42 - The absent shopper reported right away, so no need to reply to the e-mail sent. Actually it was a card issue. I'm awaiting reply from Cyanne on how to proceed. Points should be distibuted soon.

Group 43 - check your e-mail and reply to that... If you were the one who didn't shop please let me know. It'll save us all these hassles.

Group 44 - all shopped, points transferred, except "toni" - check your gmail on a card issue.

Please don't reply in this thread or pm me. I don't want to sift through all these posts :D

PS... I'm not updating my earlier post, by bolding the names in the group.

[redmaple]

I received my points. Thanks to group 47 leader, c&c and op!:)

My early Christmas wish: God please update the first page so that I don't have to check this thread all the time!!!:cheesygri


To Fatpiggy:
If you are talking about Group 25 Fatpiggy, sezhian has to scan his receipt to Cyanne, and he says he will do it on Monday. So hopefully by Monday night or Tuesday, Cyanne will let us know about the points. Now breathe deep and relax! :)

[mollymama]

Received 4545 points. Thanks!

Have made a points donation to card 887076721 this morning. Included my "odd" number points as suggested by HLW.

Thanks again Cyanne and Chococrazy and Don.

My early Christmas wish: God please update the first page so that I don't have to check this thread all the time!!!:cheesygri

And my family keeps demanding my time too. Sheesh!
I've got 5 or six groups to distribute points for right now. Then I'll update. Hold tight.

Just received 4545 points from Group 25 team leader. Thanks to God and all the organizers of this event. I used 4 cards and referred 2 other friends (no personal gain). Spend about $100 including tax....Have enough detergent to last a decade...Enough milk to last until it rotten.

Just donate 545 points too.

Next time I will be ready to use 10 cards.

[Cyanne]

Any GROUP 26 news or updates? Thanks!

Group 25 transfers just completed. Necrosis is group leader for group 26. I haven't heard from him at all, and he hasn't been on RFD since Thursday. Hopefully he'll be back soon.

[shari2002]

[dswchow]

Ok... I just want to be absolutely sure I don't send any a second time. Chococrazy was handling it, but she got sick and I don't know if she's done anything:(. I'm going to give davibe a little more time to check his mail and give me permission, and then I'll transfer them. I trust no one needs the 4545 points in the next little while anyway, there's no bonus event going on. :D

[casio]

:( from group 24 and have already shopped, but looks like we need to provide proof of purchase

Just used my hubby's a/c to transfer some points to 887076721.

Did you transfer 5000 pts to each of the 10 people who registered under you?
It should be 10 + you (group leader) -- > 50,000 points / 11 = 4545 pts each... just checking.

Groups 42 and 44: all points distributed.
Group 43: 1 member not to report and 1 to re-send a pic of the receipt; points distributed to all others.

Just donated 1000 points to Chococrazy & Cyanne. Thanks for all your hard work!

I have received the points, thanks. I support the idea to share the points with the people that organized the chain. But where are the instructions? I do not want to read all 64 pages :cry:
OP, would you please place the instructions at the first page? I believe that it would increase significantly a number of people that donate.

the donation card number is a few posts above yours - #952 - in the bottom line of Cyanne's sig

all you do is do a points transfer to that card number

anyone in group 29 got their points yet?


I don't have the points yet either...
I think we were trying to figure out who didn't shop in our group (everyone is supposed to send their receipt to whatadeal)

Group 45 - Johnsonlynna and surrealillusion need to check in with me ASAP. If I haven't heard from you by Monday, your 4500 points are getting split between Cyanne and Choco.
