Shoppers Drug Mart Optimum FAQ and Q&A

[olivercat]

Thanks Peachies, I am going to learn this stuff, but, I will probably be 90 by then!

No you wouldn't get 20x on 1500. You would get 1500 plus 20x on the price of the product.

Can anyone tell me if SDM sells either ipads or laptops. I'm in desperate need of one and would like to redeem points if possible. If so, are they good quality? Price range?

I don't believe they sell Apple products, but they do sell other tablets and some laptops. The laptops are usually lower end ones. I bought one there three years ago. Still works fine. Redeemed for a tablet for dh there two years ago, and happy with it.

That said, they don't have a good return policy for electronics. If you have a problem, you have to deal with the manufacturer. So far, we haven't been burned by that policy.

Is the optimum points system down? Did not get my points today.

"Do my points expire every year?
No, points are carried over. However, points expire after 12 mths of inactivity."

This was said in the OP's post. Does inactivity mean not using any of the points for anything? Does activity such as earning more allow you to keep them?

Also in regards to SDM points is it correct to say you only get them for the amount you spend before tax?

I am just trying to be sure about certain things cuz I may spend my points on Nov.19 despite it not being the bigger redemption day. I have reasons ... :S

You need to have purchased something with your optimum card in the past year to keep it active. And it is before tax but they never round up ie 5.99 is 50 pts.

What about this environmental handling or disposal fee they mention? Is this still a thing?

Depends on your province but in general, yes, there is a fee levied on electronics everywhere

Some stores allowing the use of the $100 SDM Gift card, given as a promotion for buying an Xbox One S or PS4, towards the purchase is bull. It should be all stores or no stores. I thought last year they stopped this from happening. Also why are people able to use 15x and other person coupons with an item that is promotional? I was told last night at my store this was not possible. There is no consistency at all with the SDM program and I went from being happy last night to pissed off after seeing all that others were getting today. I really didn't need a $100 SDM Gift Card to hold onto and I sure as heck don't think personal coupons if allowed to be used in situations like this should be different for everyone. It is a special sale day so everything should be the same for everyone. I am totally pissed off.

So yeah the question is what the heck is going on?

Can I buy gift cards to other stores when redeeming?

I have a question regarding a Shopper's coupon that i had from a magazine. Coupon said $25 off on any purchase over $75. There was no other restriction listed. I went to do my redemption and my subtotal came to about $175. The store insisted on applying the $25 before i could do redemption. That meant my total was not about $150 and they would not let me do the $170 redemption. I had to add more merchandise i did not really need. I had hoped to use the $25 to bring the final total down.

Anyone else have similar issue?
