Maybe they didn't at RCSS, but Shoppers and 7-11 definitely do charge tax on top -- for 20% SDM, it's still a deal, but the RCSS deal would have been better if they don't charge tax.vancityguy0 wrote: ↑ No they don’t. Here’s my receipt.
Thanks OP. I switched to credit card this month after my Stack Netflix promo expired and it really hurt to start getting dinged for taxes. This saves me the 12% + I get 10% back in PC points.
Hoping the 20% SDM promo (10K PCO for every $50 spent) comes back before my GC credit runs out.

Actually they do. Movies and TV are classified as telecommunications services which means they're taxable even as a gift card.vancityguy0 wrote: ↑ No they don’t.
Nope. That's why I'm on the internet arguing with strangers. If I had anything better to do I'd probably be doing it.Do you not have anything else to do rather than argue with strangers on the internet

It really depends on the type of gift card.vancityguy0 wrote: ↑ This is the same as picking up *any* gift card from Costco - spas, barber shops, restaurants - they all sell services, but the Gift Cards have a fixed value. This is why you are charged the absolute sale price for these at Costco and not taxes.

Other way around mate- it’s Netflix that should be charging taxes, so they should be deducted from the customers account credit at the time of Subscription renewal.death_hawk wrote: ↑ Actually they do.

RCSS is just incorrectly not applying taxes. Don't tell anyone though.
Also someone tell Netflix to add a book.

Now I actually wonder if Netflix is charging PST too.vancityguy0 wrote: ↑ Other way around mate- it’s Netflix that should be charging taxes, so they should be deducted from the customers account credit at the time of Subscription renewal.
Apple charges it when something is purchased from their App store and so does Microsoft & Google.
Yeah this could get complicated.Netflix currently doesn’t and they’ll probably have to change this at some point.

Assuming you'd be redeeming the points/shopping at Superstore again (or Shoppers, Loblaws, etc.), which would be case for essentially everyone, then the points can be viewed as straight cashback. You'd spend $60, get $6 back in points, and so this is equivalent to spending $54 (aka 10% savings). It's as if you got handed $6 cash in your pocket right after spending the $60, assuming you'd be going back to Superstore (or any other Loblaw-operated store) at some point later to redeem the points for whatever you want to buy (whatever you buy afterwords with the points is really irrelevant to the initial transaction that got you those points).
