Depending on how much you spend, the 18,500 bonus on $75 (promo running all week) is a better point multiplier than 20x.

I agree, for smaller purchases around $75 the 18500 bonus offer is slightly better.Lone_Prodigy wrote: ↑Depending on how much you spend, the 18,500 bonus on $75 (promo running all week) is a better point multiplier than 20x.

So value of gift card is now deducted from the total price? Cause I've called in twice and they tell me I can only get points on 323 and not 398 because of the gift card.

Why is buying a PS4 Pro at regular price with 20x the points a hot deal? Isn't it better to wait until PS4 Pro goes on sale and then use 20x (which seems to come around frequently?).
or couldn't you plan this even better:
buy $75 gift cards separately and get 18,500 points on each gift card.
then apply gift cards to ps4 pro purchase with 20x coupon.
So if PS4 costs $525, then you buy 7 gift cards which gives you 129,500 points ($200 value?)
Then you buy PS4 with gift cards and you get 105,000 points (525x10x20 = $170 value?)
So basically you just got yourself a PS4 Pro for $155 ($525-$200-$170).
edit: don't think you can get 18,500 points on gift cards =/

Tries using the coupon from the text message, their system wouldn't scan, but the coupon registers on the receipt as "coupon 21748". Hoping they didn't mess things up and I see my 20x points on Dec. 16th. Got a total of 13590 points today, of which 10000 are bonus points. Got the Xbox mine craft edition with the $75 gc again.

Is it guaranteed though that one can used gift cards towards the purchase? Legally we should be able to, but if they don't let you at time of purchase and it's a time sensitive promo then you may be SOL.

So are you ever able to get mad points when buying a shoppers gift card? (other than the regular 10 points per $1)?

Nope, no bonus points on GC. They saw you coming down main street.
Best deal for a PS4 Pro is to get 20x points. I suspect most ppl are waiting for a bonus offer to come along with these either a GC, or a sale.. maybe boxing day deals?

Did the bonus points from 20x coupon show up on the receipt? Or does the bonus get credited later?
Just bought $40 (grocery, nothing exciting), got the coupon scanned, but I only got the regular points shown on the receipt.

The points gets added to your account on Dec 16th. On mine there was a coupon # referenced on my receipt. Did your coupon get scanned or did the cashier have to do a manual entry?

Yesterday evening I earned 56925 points, isn't that supposed to be 75800 (379 x 10 x 20 coupon) ?
Update: I called the Optimum hotline and they will transfer the complete points to my account by December 16th

Question, for those who made a purchase at sdm on Dec 6th and used the 20x point promo from the phone text, did you guys see the points in your account yet? I have not.tyrrell wrote: ↑For those still interested in getting this exact deal.. Shoppers has a texting promotion where you can get 20x the points today only.

Sign up and they will send you a coupon.. The gift card for the XBOX One is still going as well.
Good luck
