Shoppers Drug Mart Optimum FAQ and Q&A

I got a personalized offer for 8000 pts wus $40 in baby stuff. Can you use this coupon more than once???

I'm pretty sure the wording says one time only. But I've never actually tried it multiple times.

I need some help with my old brain. I want to get the Flash & Go tomorrow and get the 20x points; it's on sale for $179.99. That's pretty good right? So I should get 2x $100 SDM gift cards first because you get points wub a $100 SDM gc? Have I got that right? I remember learning about points for the $100 SDM card on SC, but cannot find the thread. Good grief getting old sucks.

I don't know if the price is good or not (but please, do let us know if it works!) - but you can either get 2x $100 GCs, or just load $200 on a GC first (I believe $200 is the max you can load). Either way you'll still earn the 10 points per dollar for buying the Shoppers GC first.
And for reference sake, you earn points on any Shoppers GC amount - it doesn't have to be a $100 GC, it could be a $10 GC

Ok.. I have VIP coupon for baby.. 3000 for pull ups.. Says one per purchase.. Can I print off 4 of them and use in the same transaction to het 12,000 points.. Coupon says one per purchase

[nalaric]

I don't think you'll be able to use 4 in the same transaction. Did you try it?

Hi guys, I have some questions I hope you could kindly inform me about!

So, I received 20x wus $50 and 20x on any face cream coupons. Can I use them together, as in the bonus points on face cream would be added on top of the total bonus poins, or would only one be counted? The 20x wus $50 has a later added date though.

Also, would these coupons work if I do redemption?

Thanks a lot for your help!

You can use the face/lotion one with the redemption but not the 20x because it is not added immediately it wont work

Ok Seasoned SDM guru's. I have a question about senior promos (my father just turned 65). I understand the 20% off is regular priced items only. Does this work:
Spend $190, $100 of which is regular priced, so $20 off. Total $170, pay with 95k points?
Does it have to be HIS card, since he's the senior? or can it be my card, as long as he's with?
Any other good senior tips?

[Anna Michele]

I would think it would have tobe his card but ypu can just transfer the points over to his card

I didn't know people ask questions about sdm on this thread too. Nice thread!

I bought a Nexus 7 a couple of years ago - took my father with me, got his senior discount (just pretended it was him getting it), redeemed with MY card (the cashier did ask if it was his and I said yes, but she didn't check and I've never gotten around to signing it anyway), and then redeemed for $2xx off (it was a boxing day special). Paid $45.xx after all the discounts and taxes

And for reference sake, a lot of stores have the senior age at 55 - at least the stores in my area do.

I'm having another question regarding usage of personalized coupons. It is so confusing and I heard there has been a lot of changes lately so just wanna make sure I can actually use them and not having the points removed later.

So I received a $20 off wus $75 coupon and also a personalized coupon that is 20x bp wus $50 (added later). I'm wondering if I can use them together, as after $20 off I still pay $55 at least.

Thanks a lot for your help! Really appreciate!

Hi - my online OPTIMUM profile has my email entered correctly and YES check off to get offers/emails but i never get any emails/coupons from them. Not in my junk folder either. When I log in I see my points and everything else. If I try to click on the "subscribe to offers" link @ the top right it just takes me back to log in where I enter my (saved) password over and over again. Any ideas, anyone have any tips? I want my coupons too! I've been trying to fix this for the longest time and have been hesitant to post as I am no good with the search function and though maybe it's been asked before but can't find it/ haven't had the patience to go through hundred-page threads.... Thanks

Yes, both coupons will work together - as long as the cashier is willing to scan them.
