SDM Optimum Point Program - Optimizing

[Cheesecake]

I am thinking about calling back and complaining about how he handled the call.

If you are not happy with the way it was handled you should.

We made a major purchase at Shoppers Health Care before Christmas and I thought I would add more info to our Optimum knowledge base!!!

Purchases made at Shoppers Health Care do not count as base points toward Optimum Plus...they are awarded as bonus points and can take up to five business days to appear in your account (or longer if the staff member who enters the points is on holidays!!)....

Kind of disappointing about the Plus status...but points are points...

Thanks for that. It's good to know. I will file that away in my encyclopedic memory!

Happy New Year!

It used to be worse they would hand you a piece of paper for 500 points I think it was that amount no matter what you bought and you had to get the 500 points added on at the regular Shoppers Drug Mart.

so today I was at SDM and asked to purchase a 25 GC and then buy some stuff. the cashier told me I wouldnt get any points for making the purchases on my GC. I read on here that you do. (Needless to say I didnt purchase the card and just bought some childrens tylenol on sale and used my coupons.)
How do I explain that without sounding rude?

[baggypants]

You do get points for purchasing a SDM GC...someone on this forum just says (sorry can't remember who!!) "Just humour me"...or someone else said they just buy something small at the same time (like a yummy chocolate bar) as the GC...

Froggiestyle, You buy the GC for XX amount & they scan your Optimum card & you get regular points for that & you use the GC to buy your items & get points for that sale...
The cashier doesn't know what he/she is talking about!
I've had some tell me this & then we do it & they are amazed!

Try try again!

to be honest, i never got a card because of this confusion.....lol. there are some things i am great at, but getting the ins and outs of this card looks like swahili to me!

heres to hoping i get the hang of it someday...lol

Hey, I speak Kiswahili.

The language is Kiswahili - the people are Swahili - language of the people is Kiswahili.

Jambo = Hello
Habari yako = How are you?
Mzuri = Good

See - not so difficult is it? Neither is the ins and outs of the card

Thanks kindly!

It seems that each cashier has their own rules.

I just bought a SGC, I got the points no problem but the cashier told me I couldn't pay with a credit card it had to be cash or debit.

I was told by this cashier that I could not buy an AMEX GC at the Westdale SDM with my SDM GC or credit card either!! It was such a piss off!

how many bonus redemtion days in a year?

Not enough!

At least a couple, maybe more. We never know for sure when they're coming. I'd bet there's going to be one soon. (keeping my fingers crossed)
