Others can correct me if I am wrong but I thought those coupons only work for one single item, i.e. you buy $75 worth of chips, you still get only 200 pt + 25000
I thought the whole point was that those offers are available for Shoppers as well as Loblaws, No Frills, RCSS, etc.mkl38s wrote: ↑ Others can correct me if I am wrong but I thought those coupons only work for one single item, i.e. you buy $75 worth of chips, you still get only 200 pt + 25000
update: oh, that offer is for groceries (Loblaws, RCSS, No frills, etc.) I don't think they work with Shoppers. Shoppers have their own offers and theirs only work for a single item
Item bonuses are on top of "amount spent" bonuses. "Amount spent" bonuses do not stack, in my experience anywaymkl38s wrote: ↑ Others can correct me if I am wrong but I thought those coupons only work for one single item, i.e. you buy $75 worth of chips, you still get only 200 pt + 25000

SDM's perspective was not the same as yours. Redeeming at 95k / $1.79 per k may have been regular for you, but the overall average was more like $1.50. So they probably valued the 18.5k at ~$27.75, not $33.10.

Used to be common to see "Get 18500 Optimum points for $75 spend"... which were worth $33.10 at regular 95000 points redemption.
We knew the change from Optimum to whatever would devalue the points being earned but now we have a number.
While I am also disappointed about the devaluation for those of us who always redeemed at the higher tiers, that has to be weighed against the advantages of being able to redeem smaller amounts without devaluation and being able to redeem at stores (like RCSS and No Frills) with a lowest-price-match policy.
No... Have you seen the new PC Optimum app? All the offers are shared.mkl38s wrote: ↑ Others can correct me if I am wrong but I thought those coupons only work for one single item, i.e. you buy $75 worth of chips, you still get only 200 pt + 25000

750*20 is 15000 points so I guess the 25000 points is better unless you're buying something over 125 bucks?
25,000 points on $75 is slightly better than 20x points (which would get you 22,500).
Ok so per the website, at SDM you get 15 points for every dollar spent now. So a 75 dollar purchase at 20x is 75*15*20 which is 22500, less than the 25000 deal offered here.
In theory (and in practice, for me anyway) you can load the 20x coupon, because the Shoppers system will always use whatever available offer generates the most points. So if you bought $85, if would apply the 20x coupon, but if you bought $78, it would not.Cocopuffs43421 wrote: ↑ Ok so per the website, at SDM you get 15 points for every dollar spent now.

A purchase of 84 dollars or more at 20x is better so if purchase between 75-84, then do not load the 20x coupon.
Sell them on kijiji and load more! lolAllenWayne wrote: ↑ Son-of-a-gun this is a good deal but after last week’s 15000 pts WUS $100.00 at No Frills, my list doesn’t add up to $75.00 and I’ve already bought a year’s worth of Bounty brand paper towels and the like.
