Up to $100 off $250 Sporting Life purchase in store and online

Deal Link:: https://www.sportinglife.ca
Price:: $250
Savings:: 40%
Expiry:: December 24, 2020
Retailer:: RBC | Ampli

Updated Dec 11:
Thank to @noproblem for the link to deal with Ampli for split shipping: https://ampli.ca/blog/uncoded/all-about ... pping/amp/
-------------------------

Updated Dec 9:
Here is a thread for 50% off for selected brands using SINGTAO code: sporting-life-sportinglife-some-brands- ... o-2428044/
Code is dead but if you call customer service and mention about the code, they will provide you another unique code to use until Dec 13, again YMMV
-------------------------

Check your RBC Online Offer.

RBC offers $50 credit statement on $250 purchase at Sporting Life (YMMV) and Ampli offers 20% (to max of $50 credit) which is also $50 on $250 purchase.

If you link a RBC credit card with Ampli, you will get $100 off $250. It worked very well last X-mas and I recalled people were able to use a discount code for another 20% from Golf Town online to maximize the benefit. Gift card and some brands are excluded from the term and condition but YMMV. Some people got the credit from buying gift card but was asked for the receipt later. Brands exclusion is a joke since RBC nor Ampli can verify it.

If you dont have a RBC credit card, you still get $50 off $250 from Ampli.

My Ampli deal is spend $250 and earn 20% cash back to a maximum of $50. Not Spend $250 and earn $50. So YMMV, unless there are multiple Ampli deals out there.

Edit: 20% of $250 is $50, my bad.

Thanks OP! If you want to buy a brand that is excluded, what worked for me last year is buying a brand that qualified for the credit first. Then wait 60 days and try to return it for a full refund on a giftcard. You can then use the giftcard to purchase the brands that are normally excluded from sale.

If you have a RBC Avion card, you can get 3x the RBC reward points. This should be able to stack with the $50 statement credit. You have to load both offers on your card before using, then connect with Ampli for the additional $50

Can Ampli and RBC even know what you're spending it on? From what I understand, they'll only be able to see the charge and amount spent on your CC but not actually what you purchased.

Agreed last year Toysrus I was able to buy a bunch of giftcard though the offer said I think exclude gift cards.

So why specifically 60 days? The offer mentions that the statement credit should appear after 30 days.

Sporting Life had a policy where any returns after 60 days cannot be issued back to your credit card, but they will give you a credit on gift card. I noticed they've removed this blurb some time this year, but I was still able to return something a few months ago to a gift card and it was past 60 days refund period.

What's the RBC reward points conversion ratio, to say, gift cards? Or what's the best conversion to do?

Just FYI, last year when I tried this with the purchase of a Canada Goose jacket (one of the excluded brands), Amplii put a hold on my credit stating the reason for the hold was that it was a "large amount" that I was claiming and requested a copy of the purchase receipt. They would remove the hold once they received the receipt and reviewed it. Needless to say, upon review, the credit was denied as it breached their terms. This didn't happen to many others I knew that tried so it might just have been random sampling. So YMMV

I bought the Fitbit Versa 3 for $344 - $100, I think that's a pretty good deal. The Versa 2 is on sale too for $200, add a pair of Saxx and you get both for $150 or so

Not a surprise all these premium brands are excluded. They want to keep their premium brand image and not be part of a sale once a month or more.

Arcteryx isn't sold in Sportchek or Atmosphere anymore mainly because that brand was not excluded from the "code only" 70% off deals, which are basically glorified employee discount (cost+x%) sales.

True employee discounts were fine for Arcteryx but when you open that same deal up to a wider audience as Sportchek does for Triangle member or specific groups, it bypasses the intent, so Arcteryx pulled out of selling items there earlier in 2020.

Same would go if Sporting Life puts these brands on every promo they have; the brand's dictate when and where they have sales and would simply pull out of offering through that store.
