Awesome, Spend 50,000 points and get up to $65.00 off (regularly $50.00) is mine.
Going on a grocery run

Guessing once a year - it's not the norm
We use to have a thread on RFD keeping track of these events, not sure if it's still active

Either at Black Friday or Boxing Day or both. I can't remember which. So, you'll have to wait until at least November.

Yes, once mayyyyyyyybe twice a year. 250K for $400 is a Black Friday and/or Boxing Day type of deal.

I think the next time they might have it is for Black Friday. Waiting for it as well for the Nintendo Switch (OLED).

Once a year and usually only during Black Friday.

Yawn....Another no fanfare redemption. SDM really needs to promote a greater selection new electronic merchandise if I am going to spend my points (other than for groceries). SDM, get your lead merchandiser to be more creative...

Thinking about getting an apple pencil 2 to pair new ipad pro with 100k points redemption. Is there better deal out there for apple pencil ?

My fiance was able to find $300 in cosmetics alone... these bonus redemption events are like Christmas for her.

I think its because they want you buying and redeeming for their cosmetics. The good brandname electronics have very little markup (which is why they fill their stock with crappy bluetooth speakers and cheap headphones).

what's there to really buy at shoppers for 200k points?
I mean in terms of eletronics, i find brand new switch lite for 190 on kijiji sometimes, in that sense it's not even worth redeeming the points for it lol.

Sometimes the laptops are a decent deal, as long as you are just looking for something simple. I cashed out for $300 at one bonus event and also got 20x the points on the remainder of the price to be paid in cash. Worked out into a very affordable laptop for the kids.

I have nothing to spend that many points on at Shoppers, the 6 x 710mL bottles of coke that go on sale every weekend expire in 3-4 months
Not that i have that many points at present

Consoles. Sometimes redeeming points is better than buying from 3rd party. Also, games (mostly Nintendo 1st party)

Forgot: SDM started carrying the Bose 700 so could be a good use of points

I'm not sure if I should be posting this quite yet because I want to be able to find a copy for myself in-store and not have thee RFD effect make it go OOS on the first day. But for some reason I've already started typing this reply, so here goes. I usually only spend my points to buy switch games / accessories. I've bought most of my games this way and also my pro controller. Well, the first day of this bonus redemption event (July 16th) happens to fall on the same day as the Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword HD remake for Switch is released. Since I never played the original on the Wii I'm for sure going to pick this up if I can find a copy in store. and not have it cost me $80. Might have to buy a second game to redeem 100k points for 2 games.

I guess there’s no Airtags at SDM yet ?

No idea if they're even going to be carrying them honestly.

If they brought them in I'd hope they also bring in the 4-pack.

Wait for 40% points back, that's the best deal if you have 400k points.

It's effectively 240k points for 400$

Anyone doesn't know what to spend on, get a girlfriend, easily spending 200k on cosmetics and skincare products. If you don't like girls, maybe get something for your mom, she will be happy.
