Rebuilding my points

[helina.lewis]

So last weekend we had redeemed all our points. Leaving us with only 300 points making me feel happy for all the free stuff but naked because of the lack of points. So with a bunch of coupons in hand, including some for bonus points I went to Shoppers. I hated that you had to spend the $75 instead but it all worked out okay. So here is what I got. Included in the final points total is also the points I got from 30 softlips through the week.

2x Royal TP 3.99 each-$2 coupon
2x Simply Food Wings 9.99 each (1500bp+2000bp)
4x Royal Tissue .49
4x KD .99each- 2 bogo coupons
2x raisin bread 2.99each
7 x Old Spice Deoperant - $9 coupon
1 Old Spice Body wash free with deodorant
3x Satin Care free
6x secret free
2x eggs 1.99each
3x oral b toothbrush free

I won $10 on a scratch ticket, so got 500 bp when I got new ones.

I used $40 in coupons and left oop$59.67 It was funny too bc the cashier even was stressing that I wouldn't get the points. I told her it was okay I understood. Her face when she saw all the points was priceless

In total I now have 43,698 in points again. That was also bc of the 20x on all the gillette, oral b, secret, ect. So before Christmas I could easily do another $85 redemption if I want to.

Way to maximize your points at Shoppers! Hopefully no more feelings of nakedness

hey//hoping someone can give me advise..I ve never collected optimum points but after reading all the redemptions last week-i was determined on Saturday to get in on this. So my total amount of items was 97.00 //i used coupons of about 40.00-50.00 and my oop was a total of 45.00. What puzzles me is I thought I would be in for alot of points but only got a total of 11000 points. I went to customer service and they said because I only spent 42.00 I couldn't get them-does this make sense? I was thinking of calling-I had a lot of old spice and gillette as well....looking to find out if this is right or not? The cashier scanned the card at the beginning of the transaction-did i do something wrong-I had it all planned out and was so disappointed

I think your final total cruella has to be above $75 after coupons. I think anyway.

[FallenPixels]

cruella, do you have your receipt?

Can you tell us what the base points are and if any of the coupons show the code 2002

[FallenPixels]

I think your final total cruella has to be above $75 after coupons. I think anyway.

Nope, my total was $40ish and I got the points but it depends on the type of coupons (FPCs do not go towards points) and whether any items are non pointable (stamps, GCs, items with codeine etc)

[kellyanna_99]

Fallen pixals..I didn't know that! Still new to this, this was my first concerted effort at points, so I was paranoid to make sure the bill said $75 at least..that is good to know!

[FallenPixels]

Yes, I have got it down to under $20 before using the $9 wub3 P&G coupons and got points. You just have to know the codes they use for coupons to make sure they type them in right to allow the points to go through. It makes it so much more worthwhile when you can get it down low and get points

[cruella333]

hi yes I saved my reciept...8 of the items said code 2002//5 said code 2001-total amount of items was 97.00
my receipt said 500 regular points
5500 product bonus points(i think because of the gillette/old spice stuff) and the actually i read this wrong i see the line that says TOTAL points earned was 6010...i thought it was 6010 plus the 5500 so this is even worse. I feel really ripped and if I was only going to get 6000 points I wouldn t have spent the money. Do you think its worth a call? Do you think the cashier messed up or is that not even possible?
not sure what to do....

[cruella333]

also//if i returned the items//how would i get my coupons back? I am very very new to this//and i thought i understood how to do this but think i really don't! how do you know what code they should be using?

[cruella333]

i used 2 fpc//one for 13.99 and one for 4.99//so my total should still have been over the 75.00 just by like 1.00! I didn't know about the fpc's though-thanks for the tip and i did not buy any stamps etc that are not eligible
