Zellers: YMMV? Bonus 30,000 HBC pts: buy 4 Crest @$0.74 ea

[kiiaal]

Zellers has their own P&G Brandsaver type coupon book out at their stores.

In addition to the various coupons, they're advertising a promo (no coupon req'd, just an HBC Rewards account) offering bonus 30,000 HBC Rewards Pts (worth $3.75 in a GC) when you purchase ANY 4 products from these participating brands: Iams, Bounce, Pringles, Puffs, Bounty, Always, Tampax, Gillette, Secret, Old Spice, Pantene, Crest, Olay and Cover Girl.

Participating products must be purchased in the same transaction between Sept 6-30, 2008. There's a picture showing a selected number of products.

So Crest toothpaste 75ml (not pictured, regular kind, not the premium) sells for $0.74 each. Buy 4 for $3.34 (incl 13% tax) and you'll get $3.75 back in pts if it works.

UPDATE:
Following worked for me (but pts were adjusted manually)
4 Crest 75ml $0.74 ea
4 Pringles pm'ed at $1 ea (DEAD as No Frills sale is over)

Heh heh. I thought the same thing. I don't think it's as good.
If you buy 400 Crest at the reg price, you'll pocket only $41
With SPC 10% discount, you'll pocket $74

Anybody want to try? Let us know how it goes!

Just read the fine print. Didn't say 1 offer per account either!

how did you hear about this?

Why is paying with a gc better?

[Bakalack]

Thanks OP!

how did you hear about this?

Zellers publishes their own "brandsaver-type" coupon book in parallel with the P&G Brandsaver.

This 30K pts offer was advertised in this book. The book can be picked up at any Zellers.

Why is paying with a gc better?

If you use an old GC with a balance, then essentially you're paying $3.34 from your GC and you'll get $3.75 back on a GC (= 30,000 pts). You actually profit from it.

Do I need a special coupon? How can I make sure that the points are credited?

Do I need a special coupon?

No (see my original post)

How can I make sure that the points are credited?

IME, these pts are automatic and will show on receipt.

Again, this promo is not tested. I will try it out for kicks tomorrow morning.
Will post.

Hey OP,
Quick question. I just read through the Zellers flyer and noticed that they advertize the Pringles Select, which aren't the same as the No Frills ones.
Anyone seen the complete details of the Zellers offer?

I just looked at the ad again in that coupon booklet. What I typed in the 1st post is pretty much word for word.

BUT there's a picture of various products so I'm wondering if it's limited to the products shown in the picture?!?

It's not clear. So again, I must stress this is NOT TESTED. Do NOT buy 400 Crest!!!! Maybe buy 4 and return if it doesn't work.

Don't do what this guy did at SDM thinking there was another L'oreal type promo but with Gillette products:

BTW, there are $0.64 cans of IAMS pet food so if this is included in the promo, then you'll pocket more $.
