Aug 28th & 29th SDM Promo

[sarajk]

I had a sneak peak at next weeks flyer.

The weekends promo is a mystery gift card when you spend $50.
I THINK It said the cards where $10, $100 or $1000.

I do know the lowest card was $10 and the highest was $1000.

There is 2 day sales (Sunday & Monday) I don't remember them so they obviously weren't good deals for me!

The TomTom is on sale all week for $99.

Sorry it was too early, I can't remember anything else!!!

Thanks! Would love to win a $1000 GC or even a $100 one. Lol.

[MommyMelanie]

anyone know if you can combine those gift cards. So say I do 3- $50 trips and get 3 cards. Can i Use all 3 of them on a $30 purchase?

[sarajk]

If its an actual gift card you can probably combine it.
I doubt anybody knows till they read all the fine print on the actual card they are handing out.

Wow, thanks for the heads up! LOL can`t think of anything I need tho after redeeming for $300 But I`m sure I will think of something by then! haha

Thanks for the heads up! I'll put it on the blog closer to the date when we have more info.

Hi everyone, I found the terms and conditions of this mystery card business. Something to keep note on the $10 and $100 ones if you happen to win those I have bolded. So it seems like even if you get a GC that is not readable, then they will say it is still a $10 one.

Thanks for posting the info and odds of winning.

Now that I know that the odds of winning anything more than $10 is 0.27% makes my odds of spending $50 this weekend @ SDM..... 0%

Those are terrible odds even for the $100 GC. Not worth it for me.

Did anyone shop today?

[thien_nga]

Yes I did, got 1 surprised and it is $10!

[coley3]

Is it worth it to shop tomorrow or wait until next weekend for the 20x event. I am fairly new to the whole Shopper's thing. Never redeemed before and have 30,000 points so far.
If I spent $50 on next Saturday how many points would I get???
Thanks for helping out a Shopper's Newbie.LOL

[MommyMelanie]

10,000
It would be worth $10 too. So I guess it depends if you need tomorrow's sale items.

10,000
It would be worth $10 too. So I guess it depends if you need tomorrow's sale items.

Actually, 10,000 points are worth anywhere between $12 ($10/8000points * 10,000) and $21 ($200/95,000 *10,000 on Bonus redemption).

Also, keep in mind that you get 20x points on $ off coupons (i.e. $2 off Purex) but not necessarily on FPCs (depends on how the cashier rings them in. You're not supposed to get points.)

I redeemed last weekend so I won't be going to SDM today. I've also been saving my high value coupons and can't wait to use them next Saturday!

[coley3]

Great. That does help. Not sure if I am going today or not. I'll check out the deals. There is stuff I want but don't think it will add up to $50.

Thankyou so much for helping me.

$10 GC seems to be an okay deal for spending $50, 'specially when you do the Sunday/Monday sale items!
