Shoppers Drug Mart Optimum FAQ and Q&A

[annedougherty]

I did my first redemption yesterday, what a rush, lol. Anyways I found out you cant use an exclusive coupon (I had 3,000wub $10 food or snack), and 1,99 cheerios (worked), plus redeem your points...the computer bumped out my 3,000 exclusive offer.

Congrats!

Great job! thanks for the info

You hooked now? Nothing beats a Shoppers Redemption. I did over 10 last year, and at least that many this year, and it's still a rush! Free does feel good

Oh INDEED I'm H-O-O-K-E-D! HA! The best was I checked out the clearance section and saw rice on for $1 so I looked threw my coupon holder and the stars aligned cause I got Four FREE rice bistro! Silly things I get excited for.

It's not the diabetic meds but the over the counter supplies - test strips etc that would count as regular purchases and qualify for the points .... but it doesn't sound like the insulin meds would apply.....

Correct, insulin is prescription but the strips, needles for insulin etc count

I have a question...I should know this, but not sure.

I'm redeeming $170 today.

I know my big personal offer won't work, but what about...

* vib?

* 6 weekly personal product offers? the ones for bp

* store product bonus points? like buy any advil/1500 bp

Trying to get some points back from individual products. Will get $170 after mfc

Thanks!

bonus point coupons will work but not something times the points (5x, 10x, 15x etc) coupons.

Just goes to show that you are human and rational like Moi.....it's the little things that matter, as opposed to the fluff and pretentious

Thanks Anna Michelle and nalaric.

Worked out very well. Got 15410 points on ($178 - $170 redemption). I/m going to have to pay more attention from now on. I think I've been missing out on maximizing points when redeeming.

Huggies pullups - $11.99 - $1 mfc - $2 snap
3000 vib points + 3000 Huggies bonus points

big boy wipes $2.99 - $1 mfc
2000 vib

life brand gummy vitamins $15.99 x 2
1250 points personal offer + 1000 wub2 store bp

No7 facial wipes - 4000 wub 2

Have another 4000 store bp but not even going to figure it out what they're for.

Need help figuring this out, before I call sdm.

Returned and item for $6.49. 1433 points removed from account.

Original purchase was
710 base points
16000 wus $60

No other bonus points attached to this item. Just a regular shop day.

How many points should they have removed for the return?
I think maybe 60??

[annedougherty]

16 k wus 60 is 267 per dollar. They actually should have taken 1732 not even factoring base points. They don't just remove base points, they remove the portion of bonus points for that item as well.

Thanks. I was hoping that since $71 - $6 = $65, that I would still be well over the $60 spending threshold to get the full 16k.

Yeah, doesn't seem fair if you are returning something and the cost was above and beyond the threshold. Just another way to deter people from returning things I suppose.
