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

[$avvy$hopper]

Yet they do friends and family events, and do encourage people to transfer points to their friends and family, even on their own facebook page. Then say never share your number with anyone or transfer points. Well which is it, transfer points with friends and family or transfer points with no one??
Am I wrong, but in order to do the friends and family events do the people you are involved in it with need to know your number?

No they wouldn't need to know your number. All they'd have to do is register under your invitation (which has your SDM# embedded but not shown) and then shop. SDM will give you the points based on how many friends/family shopped. The reason the numbers were shared for the SC groups is so that the bonus points earned are pooled and then distributed to all who took part. make sense?

It seems emailing them got nowhere. I'd just talk over the phone. I'm offended they used the word "scheme"

Like I said I was probably wrong..

I think now that they have admitted to a computer glitch they need to reimburse everyone.

I also really think that the few who started blaming Crispie Creme immediately and tarnishing her name in mass pms and threads when there was never any solid proof should consider apologizing to her.

Thanks, Sally.

Although, I hope for apologies - sadly, I don't think I will get any. ... But, I still have hope that those who were quick to act can admit their wrongs.

No apologies as of yet, but we'll see what happens.

I don't know why it turned out the way it did...I did not give out my number for trades as the points were given by me as a raok to another sc'er ...wow I feel I am being accused of wrong doings...the situations were similar except I was giving not taking and yes I gave the number out but that was from the TAF event here...

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I meant from their point of view given the reasons given to other SCers

[tjthemanto]

I am super happy I got all my points returned plus extra points for my troubles

Here is what they told me and could confirm :

my points were taken .....

they can't tell me who took them....

they can confirm there were some computer glitches...

they do look at sites like SC
They are aware of ppl trading points...

What really made me ** is the person I was talking to is a member here on SC ....so she is aware about trading ect....

In the end under their privacy act they can't reveal WHO or HOW my points were taken......so for me this situation has been resolved and all is good

Good for you ..hopefully all the other SC'ers also get their points back soon just like you

Not all were computer glitches. Mine wasn't and neither was Jezzebelle. We were told that.
And as I have said I am not one of the ones who targeted you publicly or privately so I have no need to appologize.
And for the others who are still missing their points ( mine have still not been deposited, but I am anticipating they will have been) they are probably waiting to hear the details of their particular situation.

In my case I know my points were emptied from my account by someone. Not a computer. Hopefully SDM will find out who soon and deal with the person. But we will probably never know at SC who it was.

Oh, I know you weren't one to publicly/privately attack me, Hollyhill. Never, at any point in time was I referring to you. Those who did, know who they are. What I find even more interesting is that several of those who did in fact ambush me didn't have their SDM accounts compromised in the first place.

Even though not all were computer glitches, the audacity for a group of people to ambush another person without any proof/evidence - is still, in my books, wrong. Would you not agree? Albeit, I know it's upsetting to lose something you have worked hard for, however if you don't carry the burden of proof to PROVE that the alleged person did it, what good are your allegations to begin with?

.....Still waiting for those apologies.

[wendymac]

CrispieCream: I wasn't one of the people who attacked you or a person who is even involved in having their points stolen. BUT I do want to say "I'm sorry" for any emotional distress this obviously false accusation has caused you. Please stay on the Board as a valued member and someone I hope I can trade with, joke with....all the "withs" in the future.

As I read: most people who lost points only said: thye got points roak from you. Did not say you are the one stolen the points. they try to find out a clue. If I was the one who lost points, I might do the same (But I would not do it after this happening).

Why and how you can ask them to giving you apologies? I guess it is one of reasons why you did not get any apologies (only my guess).

If you ask apologies, I think it is not right time. If you keep asking, I feel bad about it. Honestly!
In the future if the fact says that you are not the person to steal the points or steal the informations give to someone. Your name will be more brigter. people will respect you even more.

I feel your pain, but they have much more pain in their life. Such as:
1. have to keep work to support family
2. fight for the points back with SDM. hopeful or hopeless?
3. tears in their heart for no money buying Christmas gifts.
4. .......
5. ........

I hope that this shread is helping people to get their points back and hope SDM improve SDM opitmum system that may protect our points. not fight for apologies.
