Can you guys explain this? I have a Google Play balance but when I go to checkout with a Nest Aware subscription, I don't see it as an available payment method. I only see credit cards available.

I'll refer to the other guy specifically for nest aware. I'm currently paying some level 2 subscription and Google one subscription with my Google play balance but I don't have nest

Not SDM, not without cashier assistance.

Offer also available at No Frills.

Any idea as to how many times you can claim this offer? Is it a max of $500/transaction?

Fine print states limit of $500 for Apple and Google play gift cards in a single transaction.

Yes but can you do multiple $500 transactions and still get the points?

Figured it out finally. Unbelievable stupidity from Google.

You need to use a Android device to be able to pay the Nest Aware subscription with a Google Play balance.

This option wasn't available when I tried it on the web and also on my Apple device but was available on an android device (old OnePlus 3 that I previously used)

Idea/solution came from: https://community.stadia.com/t5/Payment ... /m-p/48449

Not sure. From the fine print, I understand that you only get points for the first $500 spent and not on subsequent transactions. This only seem to apply to Apple and Google play gift cards. I guess we'll find out when somebody purchases multiple $500 gift cards and report back to see if they received the additional points.

Shoppers seems the best to get gc's since they take Amex no?

Just to confirm, you can see the bonus points right away before purchase if you buy from Superstore?

And you can do this at self-checkout?

Yes and yes based on past experience.

Rookie question: Can I use Apple gift cards for the full purchase price of a device, including taxes? So if I'm spending $1,003 tax-included at the Education store, I should be able to use 2x$500 Apple gift cards, and put the remaining $3 on my credit card?

I don't know about all SDMs...but the SDMs in our area show the bonus points before checking out on the self checkouts....so YMMV?

Only place I go for PC optimum stuff is shoppers for this reason. Amex is so much better for points.

The best place to get giftcards would depend on the type of credit card you have. If you have one of those credit cards that pay 4% or 5% cash back on grocery purchases, the best places would be Superstore or No Frills because they count as grocery stores. SDM don't count as grocery stores.

Can also pay for Disney+ through your Google account for those without an Apple device/account.

Yes, points will even show up on SDM tills but it's not like it is at RCSS / No Frills IMO.

For the sake of RFD, recommending grocery stores over SDM for viewing points on the register.

Can confirm, last time I bought GCs at SDM (cashier, not self checkout) it showed a completely wrong amount of points on the screen lol. The correct amount was on the receipt though.

Ah gotcha.. Crap then. I'd go to Loblaws but they don't accept amex so screw them old school cashier it is!

Friendly PSA: Remember you can only load up $2k to your Apple ID balance.

Offer will also be available at Provigo starting Thursday (page 6 of the flyer).

Could not find it in the Maxi flyer.
