Second item will be entered as 2002. You will get points only for the first item.

Is this the case for FPCs too?

No points for FPCs.

I recently used a bogo coupon for Windex and no points awarded for the second item.

Can anyone tell me if the 20x also applies to over the counter meds? (My daughter has lice and I need to get another shampoo treatment)

NOt sure if they consider that as prescription medication or not ..most probably they do & you might not get 20 X pts on them if you need a doctor's precription for it & if your drug plan pays for it

I find it varies from cashier to cashier depending on their interpretation. But it should be 2002.

Yes, your mom can transfer points to you.

Thank you for posting this! I never thought to transfer my mom's points now that she doesn't use her card anymore!!! Bonus 6000 points in my account! woot woot!

[lucy16076]

Even with some crabby cashiers, SDM has to be the best deal out there! If a cashier is grumpy, just smile & politely ask that she not worry about the points, & simply process your order. No need to aggravate her anymore than she is by you simply getting great deals from her employer!
If you are helped through with a polite cashier, tell her so & enjoy the savings!
Shopping with coupons is meant to be played like a game but always fun & exciting!! I smile politely & simply love getting the deals...no need to brag...just to smile as I walk away with more money in my pocket because I took the time to read this blog, research the store policies & organize my shopping trip!
Happy shopping all & to all a good night

Hi!

I was wondering about the "bonus point coupons" that we get extra points on. Where I live there are around 10 SDM in the area. If I purchase one of these items that gets 1000 bonus points at each store(with a separate coupon at each) Would I get 1000 bonus points at each store?

Thanks.
