From March 20-26, you can get 5,000 points for every $50 spent on Happy Him or Happy Her giftcards at Shoppers.

I took advantage of a similar PERSONAL offer on December 5, 2020 and spent $500. The offer was 10,000 points for every $100 spent on Happy Gift Cards. I think many people got this offer. I'm in West and my offer was for Shoppers but some people had offers for Superstore.

I didn't see the points on my receipt, so I used live chat on the PC Optimum app. The pereon said points would be awarded in 4-5weeks (or something like that). When I noticed the points still haven't been awarded, I inquired again and after a lengthly chat, the person asked me for proof of the offer.

Does anyone have a copy of that offer? Similar to the one I pose here but for Shoppers. Many thanks!

Can you search RFD for our mentions of the promotion? Often personal offers are loaded to RFD as well.
Someone else likely participated, hopefully someone can help you out.

I hate when they do this. It's their promotion, look it up.

Thanks! The Superstore one was the one I found. There's one for Maxi I think. I'm surprised I couldn't find one for Shoppers. I saved the offer to my phone but deleted the screenshot when my phone storage was running low. When I used live chat the first time, the answer I got made me think they had access to my pereonal offers, so...now I know I should keep important pictures like these Grimacing Face

Has anyone else had issues with using Bay gift cards online? The agent told me an error applying the gift card during a purchase caused it to get depleted.

I have had all kinds of issues with Bay gift cards both online and in store. I haven't shopped there now for over a year but I have stopped buying Bay gift cards. It seems that they always tell you to physically go in-store to customer service to get it sorted. Who has time for that?

Yes either their gift card system or their website is buggy. Luckily their agent was able to sort it out over the phone. However, I will definitely be avoiding Bay gift cards in the future.

You're lucky. After wasting a lot of time on the phone with the agent, I was told to go into the store to get things sorted. I thought the Bay was supposed to be a "big" store. Sheesh.

Is this only applicable to the $25 cards or can I get 10% off a $50 or $100 card?

Think it’s pretty clear in the wording ... it’s 10% Off a $ 25 Gift Card
(Not off a $ 50 or $ 100 GC)

So the question really is ...
CAN YOU BUY MULTIPLE $ 25 GCs ?

Or is it a one per Customer or Transaction thing

As you took this screen shot from the flyer
I suggest you go back there and look for the fine print
(Might not be on the same page)

In any case if nothing else flyers usually say that the Store has the right to limit quantities purchased of anything in the flyer
So YMMV depending how the store (franchisee ) you visit wishes to apply the offer

Food Basics are real sticklers when it comes to promos (O find) and you have to literally purchase the card they have mentioned (suffered this recently).

If you're going to try something else, make it your first card. Their system shows the discount immediately.
If it doesn't come up, you know it didn't work!

Guessing, it won't work.

Yep, as @DaVibe mentioned, it has to be the Uber $25 cards.

And, it looks like you can buy more than 1 on same receipt ... Not sure if their system has a max.

See partial receipt below for 2x $25 with $2.50 discount each.

Love the fact that can add to UE Account immediately after purchase!

No you can't buy a gift card with a gift card (online at least) in store might vary IMO

I did that a few years back at Best Buy with the now closed Koodo new phone loophole. Bought 2 iphone 6's got 400 best buy gift cards per phone and walked over to checkout counter and cashed them in for vanila pre paid credit cards...Note: there was a fee per transaction but I was fine with that.

You may want to email them to confirm ... But it looks like the answer is no.
They are no longer on the website, despite this small image error

You just use the card as a credit card there and it should still work. I've used it since they were removed.
