I really want to use my points (75,000) before the changes take effect in July, and I would really like a Wii. Unfortunately, I will be out of town on Saturday and I will have to wait til Sunday.
Does anyone have any advice on still getting a Wii on Sunday? Are they usually sold out? Will stores let you do layaway or buy one with cash early and return it and get it with points on Sunday?
I've only ever redeemed once before, so I'm bit of a newbie Advice would be appreciated!This thread is currently associated with: Shoppers Drug Mart

Check if the where you are going has a Shoppers then buy the Wii on Saturday.

SDM has so few wii's that they do not do layaway, it is very competitive to get items like this during redemptions, especially bonus ones. I would suggest to get someone else to pick it up for you early on Saturday, otherwise I think your changes are slim to none.

Yes but how many got their Wii's and laptops at the last Bonus Redemption event?
AND How many people are sharp enough to know that the redemption levels are changing next month--luckily here we have half a dozen SDM's around--but here's a question from a still relative newbie--if an SDM is open 24hours, would the Bonus redemption (or any other day specific promotion for that matter) start at 12:00am, or is there some other time that is standard ???

I don't know how many?
We drove to 5 SDM's last time to get our wii fit plus, it can be done, I am just saying don't expect what you want to be sitting on the shelf for you because electronics sell out quickly.
Ya if it's 24 hours, I think midnight still applies the same way.

Sorry I mistyped--there are half a dozen here in town (uniquely Thunder Bay, Ontario--the only place (I think) in Canada where METRO cannot award Air Miles, but that's another story for another thread). So I'm gathering that the Wii Fit (another 99.99 as I read the flyer) will mean a person will still wind up spending bucks to get the whole package if that's what she/he wants (given limits on points and redemptions, etc.). BTW would a points redemption count as a purchase for base plus point purchase purposes??

No you don't get any points ( base or bonus ) when you redeem points for merchandise .
However if you have PLUS status yo get some points back as a BONUS( kickback ) when you redeem points @ a certain level...I thinkyou get 5000 pts back or 10,000 pts back or something like that when you do a 40,000 pts or 75,000 pts redemption...not sure of the exact details as to how many pts you get back for PLUS members when they do a redemption.

Just like I said yesterday, strolled into my SDM at 1015 this morning--people were buying food, but saw no electronics in their carts, figured I was SOL, but then meandered over to the electronic section--two display boxes sitting there, no lineups/fights--so I went to the cashier--got a BLACK one (apparently just released). Easily done--now I gotta figure out how to hook it up--maybe it'll help my golf game--anyhow got a cashier that knew what was going on, and that helped. So after the 75,000 points--net cost 9.99$ plus regular taxes...WOOHOO!!!

I went in to my local shoppers and asked for a Wii and there were at least 5 in the cupboard. I got a black one and my hubby is currently showing off his mad bowling skills. Yay!

I got the Wii kit (with Wii sport and Wii sport resort) at one shoppers and redeemed for Wii Fit (plus some perfume and sunscreen) at another shoppers. All in all the whole Wii set up cost me less than 50$.
