It says right on the terms and conditions for the promo, 185,000 cards will be circulated. 2,700 will have 50,000 points, 6,300 will have 38,000 points, and 176,000 will have 18,500 points. If stores run out, then you get 18,500 points. Its essentially the usual spend $75 get 18,500 points but they are trying to be original by making you scratch a card to reveal the 18,500, rather than just handing it to you.
Can't wait for this event!! I've been saving up a list of things I need for a promo like this!
Irish Spring Body wash - get 2 get 1000 points, plus use $2 coupon on each one, plus scratch 18500 points.
16 x 2.99 = 47.84plus tax (counts as $75 purchase according to the computer)
Total points 26,500 worth approximately $40
Price comes to less then $1 per bottle and makes great gifts for christmas and donations to your local shelter or food bank
So I just went in to my local 24 hour SDM, spent 75 dollars used coupons like I usually do and I got the 18500 points, plus 790 reg points, then she asked me to flip the top and revealed I won 18500...however she stated this was an additional 18500 points that would be added on Oct 2nd? This makes no sense to me, did I read the flyer incorrectly? If this is accurate people are going to be racing to spend 75 dollars....they have some good deals. I got the Kebler pie crusts, mug cakes (kept my 1 dollar off coupons glad I did) and the shirriff pie fillings ( great for thanksgiving baking etc ) , then got some Jamieson vitamins used coupons, got some Nexxus shampoo travel, the Finish quantum for the new mail in rebate offer, Europe;s best veggies, some candy etc....it was super easy to spend 75 bucks! However, my actually cost including tax was 47.07 - the 8.72 , makes my total in the end come to 38.35!
I was just wondering did 18500 points show up on your receipt automatically? Did she scan the 18500 point? ON there website it sounds like they just credit you the difference later if it is more than 18500 "Cards that reveal a reward value of more than 18,500 Shoppers Optimum Bonus Points will be awarded the difference between the points revealed and 18,500 points to their account by Tuesday, October 2, 2012. The 18,500 points will be awarded at time of Eligible Transaction."
The Shoppers in King City has those things I am told. Not too far from you. :)Quote:

The first one, my points didn't show up. The second store they did. It seems there is a coupon scanned on both.
Anyone else????
so points will show right away or will be added after?
and if i will use coupons will the cashier give me card with points?
The points should show up now.
I called HO today, coupons (2001) do count towards your total (I paid less than $50 OOP both times).
So do you just ask the cashier. For the scratch card after coupons?
I just waited until the cashier told me the total and scanned the promotion card than I gave her my coupons.
I wasn't able to use my coupons to reduce the total (ugh!!!) The cashier rang it in, I met the $75, then I gave her the coupons (code 2001), not realizing that she had to scan a bonus card, then she said now you don't meet the $75 so she couldn't scan the promotion card, so she said she could reverse the coupons and give them back (I was getting All Bran cereal for free so this was frustrating - $1.99 less the $2 coupon + $4 off Olay that was on clearance <<schwing!+and more!). The cashier asked her supervisor who confirmed that it won't work. Then the cashier kept saying I can't scan it or they will 'yell' at me, so no matter how much we tried that's all she kept saying !!! I wasn't even planning to do the promotion but they had some things on sale and lots of manager stickers (free cookies!), I would have been close to $60 already so I picked up a few other things (ok I'll calm down lol) OMG I was so ticked (maybe this should be in the rant section lol) Anyway, hubby wrote to HO, doubt it will help but I hate the way Shoppers is so inconsistent it seems with how the rules regarding how coupons are applied. <<< I feel better now, well not really but give it time I'll get over it......
Would someone tell me what the "coupon code" is that showed up on their receipt for the 18500 points...please!
If you were at $75 before taxes, you would have got the points on your receipt anyway. Chances are slim that you would have got any more from the promo card based on the odds.Quote:

Today I purchased just over $75, used about $35 in coupons. My receipt showed I received the 18,500 points. The cashier said my total was below $75, I explained to him that I purchased over $75 and so I got the points. He was amazed. He then said he should have scanned the promo card before the end of the transaction. He told me to peel it and if it was more than 18,500 points then he would refund what I bought and re-do the transaction. I only got 18,500 pts so he didn't need to.
