SDM - National Optimum Redemption Event (Mar 15/16)

[turkishdelyte]

**BORROWED**

There will be a nation-wide Optimum redemption event on March 15/16. The redemption levels for this event will be:

Points Reward Value
3,500 = $5
7,000 = $10
15,000 = $25
30,000 = $75 (Reg. $55)
40,000 = $100 (Reg. $75)
75,000 = $200 (Reg. $150)

Time to use up those points from the last 20x event!

SIDE NOTE: For those of you who have a minimum 40,000 optimum points and are looking for some REALLY good deals this would be the time to redeem. You can pick up some GREAT Digital Cameras for $149.99-(40,000 points) $100= $49.99 + tax gets you a camera for $69.49 TAX IN (they charge the tax BEFORE the discount). I am referring to two models, the SONY W55 and the CANON SD1000....both are awesome cameras and apparently people are shopping EARLY trying to find these cameras NOW and returning them next week and re-purchasing.
I personally purchased one of each a couple of weeks ago at the BONUS points redemption and redeemed 75,000 points for $200 off....so I paid $138.98 FOR TWO GREAT CAMERAS

hey i have a questions......still at 40,000 + level i think im close to 50,000 should i just wait for the next time they have the redemption reward thing or should i just use it for next week.

i am thinking of buying that digital camera but am in no rush

[turkishdelyte]

honestly, the cams that are on sale are clearing out....and fast! People are spending hours a day calling different SDM's trying to find different models....I saw a posting on another site that the Canon SD1000's are in stock at fairview mall, we went tonight to pick up another to give as a gift If you're in no rush there are some new cameras that aren't as cheap (as they are coming in with new stock)....i.e there are the Fuji z10's (I believe and they're not all that new either) that are going for $199.99....so if you wait to stack up some more points (75,000) and wait for a BONUS redemption day (75,000 points=$200) you can get the camera for like $26.00 because they apply the discount AFTER taxes. So you use your 75,000 and get a camera for dirt cheap...OR you can get a camera that is just as good, if not better, that are being cleared out for some REALLY good prices....i.e the Canon SD1000 is being sold for $149.99 now and the regular price at shoppers is $229.00. Its upto you, if you want a cam now, I say go for it, find a shoppers that has the cam you want or wait it out till you get the 75,000 to get $200 off.....

Hope that helped....
