HBC rewards when Zellers becomes Target

[sarajk]

People also seem to be forgetting they DIDN'T BUY ALL THE ZELLERS!!!!!!!

[jessep13]

And she knows this because?

This is how rumours start and spread

Because she called Zellers to find out. of course you can still use the points at other places like the bay but not at Zellers . And I dont go to the bay so i needed to use my points or else it would have been a waste for me. just trying to help. Not trying to turn this into a huge thing. Might be helpful for some other people who dont go to the other hbc friendly stores.

not to mention you can also switch your points over to Air miles as well.. so in addition to still being able to use them at the other stores. it does give you another option.. and they are only turning a portion of the stores into Target.. they haven't stated yet what they are doing with the rest. *COUGHIKEACOUGH*.. would be nice

My understanding is not all the Zellers locations will be Target
Store, they will remain Zellers.

[robbiii]

Yes, they did acquire all the Zellers stores, they are not changing all the locations to Target stores

[Poirot]

They should give HBC points at Fields Dollar Depot and Fields.

[mulock]

Not sure, but I have begun raking in as many of those 10k, 15k, and 20k point offers that I can

I do know one thing(just found this thread today)that ALOT of the rewards are now gone that use to be there I just keep redeeming because you never know. Was really sad to see M&M Meat shop gone.

I think people are confused... Target only bought the leases to 120 stores (I think it's 120). There are in total 190 Zellers stores in Canada. What Target is doing is they are going from store to store to see what stores they want to keep, and what stores they want to sell.

So, they will get to choose 120 stores. They will then decide which stores will be changed into Target or sold. The remaining 70 stores are still the property of Bakers the company that owns Zellers now, and they will remain as Zellers stores.

HBC rewards will still be valid at the the Bay and the stores that remain a Zellers.

You could just go into an actual Zellers store and redeem your points for that GC or any other GC that they sell and if you buy a GC for another store other than the HBC ones ( The Bay, Home Outfiters or Zellers) you earn points on them

I talked to a lady who works at zellers and she said there not shutting down all the zellers locations, but a majority of them. just hold onto your point until you know zellers near you is going to be converted to target, or just use them at the bay.

[anisa]

It is only common sense. You will lose your points when they switch over.
That does not make her fact a rumor.

no one will lose their points. unless the HBC family all goes boobs up in the same moment, you will not lose your points into thin air.

[hollyquaiscer]

I read that at this point they believe that nothing will happen to the point as HBC point are also part of the Bay, and also some Zellers stores will remain and others will become Target stores.

I think that zellers doesn't know what is going on,i overheard the cashier talking to an older man and i think that is what he was asking when she said she doesn't know what is going on,for now it's just business as usual. I did not hear the man ask the question but afterwards he asked how the target stores were and she said they were just beautiful,lol.
