SDM free $20 GC with $50 purchase on April 16-17

[eBuddy]

Shoppers Drug Mart is supposed to be giving out a $20 gift card with a purchase of at least $50 this coming weekend, April 16-17. The usual exclusions will probably apply, e.g., prescriptions, products that contain codeine, non-pointable items, stamps, transit tickets and passes, event tickets, electronic Gift Cards, Life Experiences packages and Shoppers Home Health Care locations.

This is ideal for those who can buy $50 worth of necessities. It is like getting $70 worth of products for $50, or 29% discount.

And why exactly doesn't SDM participate in @Home?

That would be like 49% off

Thanks for posting - is this confirmed?

What about using points to purchase $75 worth of stuff. Will I get the $20?

excellent question redeeming points doesn't earn points, but how about GC

The way it stands right now the rule is that the stores are not to give out the gift card when you redeem points bringing your total below $50.

Actually you do get points even when redeeming your 34,000 pts for $75 of stuff

I just did it tonight and got 300 pts when redeeming for $75 at the SDM at Elgin Mills + Yonge St. in Richmond Hill

how about buying the daytek home theatre system at 50$ then getting 20$gc

Please check your receipt. The 300 points are probably product bonus points or if you had bought $75+30. When I redeemed recently, my regular points was only 50 instead of 750+.

As a supervisor at shoppers for 3.5 years+ I can fill you guys in:

You only get points for anything you pay for

So in this case, if you ended up gaining 300 pts, that means you must've spent $105 + tax.

Explanation:
Keeping in mind that you redeemed 34,000 points ($75),
this brings your subtotal to $30 ($105-75).

Then, 10 points per dollar = $30 x 10 = 300 points.

Yes, it's too bad that SDM, Wal-Mart and grocers have refused to have 20% discounted gift cards. However, SDM's recent promotions have turned out to have higher discounts: 29% this weekend & 31% from 20x Saturday. The best ever promotion was March Multiplier, when I got a much bigger discount.

And why exactly doesn't SDM participate in @Home?

Uh-oh guys....They're on to us...

sw1ft, let head office know we need more bonus points....and shoppers should stock more electronics so we can use the darn points!

[g man]

Any limit on how many giftcards are available per store? Last time they ran the PetroCan $10 GC promo the place I went to had only 1 left at around noon and the clerk said when they were gone they were gone, although you could try another location.

If you're a shoppers employee... and get the employee discount on your purchases... can you still get the $20 GC if your purchase total exceeds $50?
