5000 Points When You Buy 2 or More Gift Cards 150.00 or More!

[Sunraven]

what does the 2250 CC pts stand for?

I'm thinking to do this with SPC coupon...!! :D

5000 bonus pts + 1500 reg pts + 8000 SPC pts = 14500pts! Hooray!!

Holders of the Optimum Credit Card earn an additional 15pts per $1 spent.

So $150 x 15 = 2250 extra pts.

That's a good point, but I'm not sure if I want to buy 150$ in Tim's cards at once!

So you can buy GC's with a Credit card?

Yes. Unless the store owner/manager put a sign at the cash register advising them not to accept credit cards as a method of payment for gift cards. Each SDM store has a different owner and they can make up different rules. Most of the stores in my area have no problems accepting credit cards when you want to buy a gift card.

Just my guess but I think you could buy different companies gift cards so long as it totals $150 to get the bonus points.

Sweet - I was planning on getting gift cards for my nieces this weekend for their Christmas and Birthday gifties. The bonus points for me are a sweet incentive to visit SDM once again

[Zonny]

I buy GCs every month for my bus passes, will probably buy them early this time to get the points.

Here in Halifax, I know of one SDM that will not let me pay for my gift cards with a credit card. But the store I regularly visit will.

Apparently bonus points will be added only if you pay cash. Credit cards cannot be used.

Sounds great to me

here is the fine print from the SDM website...the points won't be awarded until Nov 19th...I guess you can't even use a debit card...

That's too bad. I won't be buying as many cards as I wanted.

Actually I read that (bold) as meaning the points they're telling you you'll get are only based on your purchase - if you use the SDM MC they award those points separately (MBNA does it).

For the second one, I think they mean that you can't use a gift card to purchase another gift card; by "financial card", I have no idea...best guess would be that you couldn't use a "vanilla MC" (which they sell) to purchase more GCs.

Does that make sense?
