Yes they have 3DS xl but the inventory at each store is different and they have a habit of not having all their electronics out, so you should call and ask them to check before you go in.

Shoppers does carry it, but only some of them. In Ottawa I have found most on the east side of town have them. (I didn't check the west) IE: St. Laurent Mall has it, Ogilvie did not and had no idea what I was talking about when I asked them a few months back. (these two locations are within 10km of each other)

You might be lucky enough to find a bundled one but usually they are the standard Blue/Black, Red/Black, Black/Black. The best combination deal is 20x points when they are on sale for $159.99 which last happened in mid July. Still a decent deal. You can also get a game or two at the same time which would give you more points and if you or your family uses Shoppers for other shopping when you redeem points, (best to redeem during special events) you will get even more value.

no. he meant buy a gift card of $200 + whatever tax amount you have to pay on the 3ds xl. that purchase will give you 2,000+ points
then, use that gift card to pay for your 3ds xl on 20x promo day which will net you 40,000 points

so in total, you're going to get 42,000+ points instead of just 40,000.

getting a gift card of the amount that will cover your purchase and use that GC to pay for it is the best way to maximise the points you're getting

You're aware that Nintendo just announced a new hardware revision of the 3DS, right? I realize that for a birthday timing might be an issue, but this is a pretty bad time to buy a 3DS.

Me too.

I've only been collecting points since last fall and I've saved about 8 x 95,000 (of course I don't HAVE that. I've cashed them in as I've saved them)

I've been combining the weekend deals with the emailed coupons. I don't start shopping unless the savings are OVER 20x (ie discount coupons with 20x, or 8000 pts for $30 purchase, or 18,500 for $75 purchase)

I often get to where the value of points and discounts and gift cards back (ie SDM, Tim Hortons, Petro Canada) are almost equal to my purchase cost.

I especially like MIRS so I can get points and then get my purchase money back.

I would hold and wait on 3ds xl. They are coming with new model 2015 with 2nd analog nub, better cpu, and extra buttons. Plus there will be games like Xenoblade Chronicles exclusive to new 3ds...

At least you know for sure you are getting that extra 2000 points...unlike those update your contact thing for free 2000 points that they say you are getting it 2 months later, but never happened.

I've been lurking awhile in these SDM threads and it all seems interesting.

What exactly do you guys buy during these promotions and with the accumulated points? I don't need any PS4s or similar items that some have suggested.

I tend to look for electronics (camera, tablet, laptop, PS4, etc)

I've read that other people spend them on makeup, perfume, etc. My wife wants an electric hair thing (flattener, curler, or something) next time.

Often they don't use up all the points so I also get groceries and general drug store things at the same time

I've been thinking about buying an electric toothbrush for the longest while. I may just take the plunge
