Thanks a lot for the heads up dude. They have a 200k points for $300 event right now so I was able to redeem points to pay for 2/3 of the total cost (with tax) of the Switch!

Get "up too" $300. How do they determine the amount?

I think you're purchase (before taxes) needs to be over $300 to get the full benefit. Eg. If you redeem 200K points on a $260 order, you'll get $260 covered by points.

When you go to pay for the item, there is a drop down box where you can choose how many points you want to redeem. If you have 200,000 points, you can get $300, If you use more points, say 240,000, you get still only get the 100,000 or $100 bonus or $340 - so the sweet spot is 200,000 points to get $300. Of course, if you have the points but you don't have $300 worth in your cart, you won't get the max 100,000 points bonus. This is all pre tax. I had to pay $399.99 + tax less $300. In BC that is $147.99.

Does any Shoppers anywhere have the original non-Animal Crossing versions available? I want the Switch but can’t bring myself to buy that ugly version:/

I prefer the black version as well. So much that I'm waiting instead of buying this ugly thing.. Well, it's ugly for me... It's cool if other people like it

Why can we only redeem a max of $390 in points against the switch?
I have a $950 balance...

Increments of $10, pre tax. So max $390 in points for a $399 item.

Maybe I'm alone in this but I can't believe this doesn't come with the game. I'm sure it's a great product but man is Nintendo stingy with bundling games. I guess when they sell like hot cakes you can get away with it.

That being said it's nice to see stock starting to pile up a bit on these switches.

If I make two separate orders using the "redeem 200K points to get a bonus $100", does that mean I will get $200 added back in points?

I redeemed 390K points on the first order, then another 390K points on the second order. Was there a better way to go about this?

its convenient when you combine it with the bonus redemption. Although you miss out on the 20x the points (on the remaining total), which is what I did instore on the weekend (on the regular version).

Boom Boom Pow!
