There is a clerk at Uptown who told me what Krazytwacy said. He is fantastic to deal with too. Think his name is Erwin or something similar to that.

I agree about the gc -- the points are automatic. But I have seen a lot of cashiers who didn't know how to ring up a gc. Re: the coupons - the manager rang me up on the weekend and I used 3 coupons and he barely looked at them :)Quote:

You just use someone elses card. I doubt they would restrict how you shop its how they make there money.Quote:

This is their response to my question about Points being earned on PURCHASING GC's...
You are NOT supposed to be earning points on GC PURCHASES
and NOT earning 20x on the GC Itself purchases either.
I'm sure it will take some time for all the stores to get on the train for this.
But I know my local Store already has... :(
Unless there's a policy change happening, I think that person just didn't know (I've had cashiers tell me you don't earn points on GCs, encouraged them to try it and they were surprised). If we weren't supposed to be earning points on GCs, surely they would have fixed it ten years ago?Quote:

Update! I emailed HO, they sent me this and gave me a bonus 4,000 points. I still think I'm done with that particular location though.
"In response to your inquiry, we do not have an official corporate-wide policy against purchase gift cards for personal use. We apologize for the difficulty you encountered using your gift card and for and for any inconvenience that this may have caused.
Your comments and concerns are important to us and we have forwarded them to the store for internal investigation and consideration. As a goodwill gesture and an added apology, we have also credited 4000 points to your Shoppers Optimum card, which we hope you enjoy redeeming at any Shoppers Drug Mart location."
These reps know nothing, They told us free product coupons counted. They need to check before they post.Quote:

I purchased 5,000 $ in GC last year during the promo for GC and always use them to buy everything in SDM, even stamps, lottery tickets, bus tickets, and OTHER GIFT CARDS (Best Buy, Subway, Tim Horton, etc)Quote:

I know the one at Polo Park is inflexible!
Wish me luck and I'll let you know what their soup~de~jour rules are...
Lucky you wonder if I could do it. I can try I really have not seen it written anywhere its something I just learned from here.
So glad you got something for all your trouble! Sometimes it pays to complain!Quote:
