50 x point question

[skat]

Spend $75 OOP on Cover Girl in 3 seperate transaction... Plus use the max number of coupons in those transactions 4 x $3WUB2 and 4x$1WUB1 Covergirl... This will earn you 136500 points.. and $60 in PetroCanada Discount (cents off per litre)......

Did you mean $25/ transaction *3 transactions = $75 OOP ?

You dont get $60 PC discount (in fact you get none) if you do $25/transaction because you need to spend min $75 for each transaction to get a PC discount card.

No, she means 3 x 75$ transactions!

Alright I'm a new coupon-er but I've been long obsessed with my Shoppers points.
Is there an FAQ somewhere on maximizing gains with them?

Haha I thought so! I am just surprised that she wants to do 3 times $75 only on CG products, that's a lot!

[MrsSunshine]

actually skat.. probably wouldn't take much of CG to get to that amount... some of their products are a little higher priced.. foundations etc..

Exactly!! I don't know how I can stop myself from doing the promo! It is to appealing... even to a person that goes through very little makeup.

This thread is confusing me and I thought I knew SDM points LMAO

KellyC its just the downtown Toronto ones in the PATH system that start the promo Friday because they get so little traffic on Sat, their flyers still say Sat on them, they just put signs up in store. I have not heard of any other SDMs locally who do this

Anne & Fallen Pixels I have a question since you two seem to have this nailed. I have a 10000 BP w/u spend $50.00 promo becuase my bday is this month. I am not planning a redemption but I was thinking 25.00 of covergirl & $25. of groceries to get to 50.00 to use the bonus. Does that seem risky. (it does not say cannot be combine) TIA.

Is it 10,000 bonus points WUB anything? Or cosmetics? If it's 10,000 when you spend 50$ on anything, and doesn't say anything about not being combined, then you shouldn't run into any issues with them scanning the coupon. I'd say you're good to go!

My flyer says spend $25 on covergirl and get 50times the points!

[FallenPixels]

Lilo, I know several people are combining the bday coupon with the promo

Then do 4 transactions redeeming your 50k points (in alberta we get 50% back)... and for each redemption you will get $101 worth of beauty stuff...(if you max out your coupons again) and a $20 Petro Canada Card.

Here comes my questions: To get a gas card is to spend $75 after discount and redemption and before tax right? So there is no gas card in the above case? I can only get a gas card if I buy $175 worth of stuff - 50k points = $75?

I just want to make sure that I understand the redemption correctly. Freefreed's idea is very good, and make me rethink the whole shopping list again.

And yea! It's one hell of a promo!
