SDM Bonus Redemption Dec. 8th & 9th

[DaVibe]

Canon's are by default much more popular than Sony's...well, probably the most popular brand in digi's right now. And Nikon's coming in close second in DSLR's. Besides, Sony isn't really known for the digital cameras, though they are competent enough. Just like Panasonic and Casio's.

At Shoppers Drug Mart, Canon's and Sony's are probably the top cameras, even over Fuji's believe it or not. Why, I have no idea. (At least in my experiences)

Yes, I spoke to the store supervisor, and we read the sign together on their front door, but she said she couldn't do anything without the manager.

That's a load, EVERY cashier is suppose to know how to do that. And if anything, the CASHIER supervisor, not a store manager.
That's just idiotic. I'd complain to head office. The store doesn't have their act together, clearly.

It's posted on the front door, as well as at the cash registers. It's there for a reason.

I was told NO on the Xbox cards, which are hanging with the pther GCs. Could be because the Wii cards are sealed in a blister-pack, and don't require activation at the cash. The Live and MS Points cards must still need activation, even though the code is covered with a scratch patch.

Yes, I believe that's the reason. It's like purchasing an item as opposed to a GC, so it works. Bought 2 this evening

I think I went to 4 different SDM's today to find the store that had a bit of everything I wanted ... and I still ended up doing seperate redemptions at 2 different stores.
It's a crazy way to shop, but I wanted certain board games, certain Wii Point Cards and then gift sets (perfumes) I could buy wherever for the most part ...

I was all over the city today but definitely worth it in the end

I wanted the Canon Sd1000 camera but they did not have it at my local store.
Anyone get one? How come all the Canons were gone but lot of Sony Cameras avalailable. Don't people like Sony Cameras?

probably due to Sony’s proprietary Memory Stick ... too $$$ for some.

I'm curious, i bought the hc28 sony camcorder but the place i bought it forgot to take off the 279.99 sign.

I bought it but they said opps we forgot to take it off its 299.99 do u still want it?

i didnt ask for a SCOP cause 1 didnt see the sign (so didnt know if shoppers does it) and 2 cause the sign did say "until dec 7".

so if it actually says until dec 7 i cant really say anything can i?

despite that the sign says the sale date is over, you should still be able to get them to apply the SCOP and get the $10 discount....

Got a pretty good haul this weekend!
Spent $200 on stocking stuffers, groceries, and some household necessities (timed it so i would run out of toilet paper, paper towels, toothbrushes, and deodorant for this sale :P). Also spent $100 in points on a digicam (Sony W35) for a xmas present. Wish the screen was bigger but can't complain for a $100 camera after bonus redemption that took amazing photos in store with no flash at night

YES! I went back today and spoke to a different, very competent 'Store Front Supervisor'. She rolled her eyes when I told her about the other supervisor and she said 'I don't know what those people do here on the weekend.' Then she told me that yesterday's supervisor should have dealt with it and that there was no need for the manager to get involved and that she would speak to her about it when she came in later today. I was also able to easily return my duplicated item.

One thing I'm not sure about re: SCOP-- I paid $12.99 + tax for the SCOP item. The lady gave me $10 in cash, but the code she entered for the register was '2004' I think, it ended in 4 for sure, and it rang up as -$11.40. I asked if I should also get the $1.14 and she said that it was just the $10 and she was not sure if she had the right code or not. And then I just left.

Are you supposed to get the tax back too? When people get free items under $10, I don't think they pay the tax.

[nanirina]

Yes, they will just return the item to your original method of payment (for the taxes, for me they put it back on my AMEX)

For me, for the past several times, they always put it back onto a GC, which is kinda annoying even tho I paid the taxes with my CC. It was way easier for me to lose track of a GC.

I went to Queen's Quay's beauty boutique and redeemed 2 sets of $200 and still had another 75K points left. I think I must have burned through 500k worth of points over the past year at Shoppers. The cashier was so shocked at how many points I have and he kept on saying I should spend it all!!

I think I got myself enough face creams to last a year or two.

The cashier must have been so exicted at how many points I had because he accidentally packed some stuff worht $20 or so into my shopping bag that I didn't buy. I realized that after I got home but I think I"ll just keep that So that's kinda an extra for me.


Also, he got the perfume sampler deal mixed up. He thought that I can get the free perfume and the 20K points. So he gave me the full size for free and scanned in the 20K points. The 20k points scanned. But will shoppers head office take it away after?

I'm glad they had that reaction, it's good and bad to hear that type of thing.
Hopefully the manager speaks to that particular person but as well as the entire store staff.

Today, I saw the Canon SD 1000 is down to $229.99; a savings of $20 from $249.99.
So, with the points redemption of $200, you would have only pay $30 + tax.
Unfortunately, the store I went to was OOS of the Canon SD1000. This was the only camera on the whole shelf that was sold out. Lots of Sony available though.
