I have a preorder for Shoppers, its hard to decide whether I pick it up on Tuesday, or wait until later in the week to hopefully hit a point redemption offer.

Curious...what is the typical black Friday redemption deal?
Black Friday last year was redeeming 250K for $400. which is a 37.5% discount. 40% points back is the best single redemption offer period.
Last year black Friday I was able to get a ~50% discount but I don't think it works anymore. I was a PC insider member and for some reason the online website gave me points back on an order in which I was redeeming points on bonus redemption. I bought $470 (including taxes) worth of stuff for $235. See attached photo.

I had this offer last week so it is YMMV indeed. From what i found, this would be the best deal in term of any redemption offer. You dont have a limit of how many point to redeem unlike those 300k for $450 where u are max out at that point.
For example using 500k points to redeem, you get $500 but u only need 300k point (500k * 0.4 = and 200k back to account). so this is literally 300k for $500 worth.
The only factor is black friday there will be more items on flyers that you can redeem for if u find stock.

Is your statement accurate? I would assume you would need the 500K points to redeem them, and then you get 200K back. If you only had 300K points, you would not be able to redeem for $500? Or.... does it work the way you indicated?

You would need 500k to redeem. I don't think he's suggesting you only need 300k, he's just showing total spend. At least that's what I took away.
So weird. I got the 40% back offer that ran from last week Friday to Sunday, then I got the same offer as OP posted and now I have the same offer coming up in 2 days lol. I used to never get these offers anymore. I think shoppers is really trying to get me to use my points before the BF deals.
I'm unsure what to do for when to pick up my xbox - I have a 20X point offer for Wednesday so do I pick up my xbox pre-order Wednesday or wait to see if a better offer comes in. I plan to use 500K points towards the purchase.
