Regarding the Recent Shoppers Drug Mart Optimum Points Events - Please Read

[carlyincanada]

I've only been in store 2 times since Dec 03, lol to get a few things before Christmas & milk/eggs last week...been living off our stockpile mostly anyway!!

I used to shop 2-3 times a week so maybe my store will take notice!! Until they response to my email/letter than I'm holding onto my dollars or spending them elsewhere (ie NF dollar sales!)
Thanks for everyones support it sure means alot to me!!

[Jezebel]

I have bought a few things like my perscriptions (they deliver)but am not there as often (like Carly LOL)multiple times a week...I think it helps that I don't need anything .....

I`ve stuck to only scripts...since the mega...but supplies are running low...sure hope SDM does the right thing and returns the points.

[Decaf]

I almost stopped shopping at SDM since the MR. Only spent about $20 there since.

[MiaowTheCat]

I've spent a total of $12 there since Mega LOL. Bought one pack of Ibuprofen once 'cause I really needed it ASAP and today, the 2 for $5 Pepsi packs 'cause we didn't want to spend $1.50 on one can while we were doing errands I'm kind of bored with them and also too worried to keep a large balance of points after seeing how they scr*wed so many ppl over and didn't fix the problem

Slowly but surely SDM WILL notice a drop in sales, whether January is normally a slow month or not. Stay strong guys and gals that are participating in not buying there.
Join their silly Spin To Win game, win free stuff from them, that is it. lol

Yup, still avoiding them

Still no news. Sorry. The owner/ pharmasist is on Vacation. And I just haven't had the energy or time to deal with it beyond waiting for him to be back. I moved our prescriptions to safeway. The pharmacy there has great service and the bonus airmiles are great. Who knows it may eventually add up to a trip. Dreaming of hawaii right about now.

Thanks for all your amazing support. I do plan to go in and raise some more hell. I figure after a while the owner will really miss me and might get off his duff and demand SDM to do something about the fiasco!

Air miles has lots of things you can buy with your points - various small appliances, electronics, gift certificates for grocery stores and gas stations, retail stores. Hope they add up fast for you! And their online site is password protected if you do anything related to your account.

I haven't been going there much either, mostly just to get prescriptions.

I just read the whole thread about this and had no clue.

Just curious... when was the Tell-a-Friends event? Was there one within the last few months?

I just checked my points and luckily they are still there...

[destiny9]

Ya, two of the cards that I was going to consolidate have zero balances. I have some left over points on a third card (forgot my old cards at home, busy with home renovations and sale) had some points left, so I am going to get to the next level and redeem them, and then I am done with SDM.

The last TAF event was in January 2011. SDM only did it once last year.

Thanks - I participated in that one... thought there was one recently that I missed out on and that people had thought contributed to their points loss.

I buy milk from SDM still because it's the cheapest in my neighbourhood. I've been getting my cold medicine and vitamins at Rexall
