PS4 and Tablet at Shoppers - Sweet Deal!!

[Poobah]

Erg this post is a mess.. But here it goes.

Why oh why, did I wait till June of this year to join the Shoppers Optimum Club? Never again will I ever buy a gaming console, tablet or X technological gadget anywhere else but shoppers. I just made both my kids dreams come true, well they will when Christmas finally gets here. The best thing is, it barely cost me anything. it goes something like this:

Son wants PS4 Bundle
Daughter wants Samsung Galaxy Tab 4

PS4 = 449.99+5.00 = 454.99
Tab = 189.99+1.50 = 191.49
Subtotal of 646.48
Tax =84.04
TOTAL with tax = 730.52 (ignoring the fact I bought about 70 bucks in food and liter)

Optimum Points break down....

7300 Base points - Load Gift Card with Shopper Credit Card
10950 Points - Bonus Credit Card Points (not shown on receipt but debited to card monthly)
6460 Base Points - When Spending Gift Cards (Can't get bonus points on taxes here.)
122740 19x 6460 points (20x bonus promotion)
_______

147450 TOTAL Points worth Between 300 and 400 dollars depending on promotions you choose to use. (lets just say $300 and low ball it!)

Now the fun part.

My wife (who knows nothing about optimum) agree's to pay 50% of The Total $730 / 2 = $365 Back in my pocket... Does this make me naughty?

or

$730 Out of my pocket
$365 Back in from my Dear Wife
$300 Back in From Shoppers Because they are amazing.. Thank you.

Which means for the lovely sum of $65 dollars I just went splits with my wife on my kids dream Christmas presents. (and if I choose my promotions wisely, I can get that to zero.)

Gota love Shoppers eh?

Hurrayyyyyy! You got it! I was hoping that you post your brag today. I was getting impatient to see your points.

you did awesome! And dont ever tell your wife about your optimum card. Just keep getting her part of the bills. Lol.

HAHA! It was much fun, and goodness no... We must keep this a secret at all costs, preferably hers.

The only downside, is I still have not got my personalized coupons this week. I fear I'm being punished due to my thriftiness?

Maybe use some of your points to buy your wife a nice gift of perfume or high end cosmetics and then your wife will think you are awesome and help butter her up if she finds out about the points

Wow, I never tough of doing this that way. Thank you for the lesson as I have to buy some kind of gaming machine(I dont know nothing about that) for my Hubby for XMass. My son will be helping me on that one. I sure hope to do as well as you.

I suggest the same thing as Scouponer:

Great shop!!! That is exactly why I only buy my gaming "things" at SDM too!! Amazing job!! Thanks for sharing

Great shop!

I don't often shop at SDM these days, but DS has been asking for a Nintendo DS. We've never bought him a gaming thing of his own, and he's been a pretty good kid lately, so we decided we'd buy one (although I have a bit of buyer's remorse, thinking i should have saved it for Christmas). I shopped around, all the stores seems to be $129 for the 2DS, but when I saw that SDM had 20x times the points, that made it a much better deal. I got $30 in points back from the 20x promo.

I didn't buy a GC to pay for it this time, they've been total arses about it in the past (more than once I've been told I can't do it), so it wasn't worth the hassle for another 1200 points.

My DS wants a 3DS too but haven't quite decided if it will make Santa's list yet...

I have had that problem with cashiers and GC's too but I ask them to just humor me. Works every time and they are no longer surprised.

I'm evidently missing something... Stouffer's Pins? What do you mean?
