[merged threads] December 1st MEGA Redemption Event

[Tbites]

I think they mean they have the flyers from last year.

yes

She wasnt asking you to predict, it did sound like you had an early flyer
we may have to start bribing saving moola

I just like to spend my points at this time of year not because the deals are that great but because it allows me to stock the cupboard and leave me the money I would have otherwise spent on household needs on Christmas expenses instead.

Me too! I've been stocking up big time on household/pantry goods & baby supplies (plus the pig & garden produce in the freezer)....hoping that by the time Christmas & Baby (Jan) arrive, I'll be fully stocked and be able to get through winter buying only perishables: Dairy, fruits & veggies That would be great....but we'll see what I end up with!

I'm sorry if my statement about last year's flyers misled either of you, that certainly wasn't the intent. Either way, I'm glad we got 1 false rumour out of the way.

I'm itching to see next week's flyer posting but I almost pity Jamcoupies & SavingMoola.... Ooooh the pressure

me too

These are the redemption levels just given me by Murale (in Montreal):

134K points = $300
95K points = $210
50k points - $105

Murale (in Montreal) will begin offering the redemption on Nov 29th to coincide with their 4th(?) anniversary celebration, until Dec 1 (as Doda mentioned in an earlier post). I would assume it's the same levels for SDM but don't know for sure. I do not know if SDM will be doing the redemption on just Dec 1 or both Dec 1 and 2.

I know people are going to be disappointed - I am too. Don't shoot the messenger, please

At least the $300 tier is good for anyone after a big ticket item. Less $ OOP.

[momgoneawol]

So lets me see if I did 2 redemptions
2 x 95k = 190k points for 2 x $210 = $420
2 x 134k = 268k points for 2 x $300 = $600
If I transfer 95k in points to hubby's card I can do 3 redemptions
3 x 95k = 285K in points for $630
so an extra 17k in points for $30 more.
I don't have any big ticket items to buy which is better the 95k value or the 134k value. Decisions, decisions.

I'm not going to shoot you, but I am disappointed

I believe the best value for points is pretty subjective. It really depends on what a person/family needs and if those items are at better prices at other times of the year. There's no point in me spending 95 000 points on groceries at full price if I can get them at regular redemption at 1/4 the regular price .

This will be my first mega redemption. I only started colecting points a few months ago. I didn't really have any until I bought Gift cards and 2 xboxes. Now that I have enough points I'm having the same struggle. Do I just hang on to them, spend them this weekend (because the flyer has some good prices on things I need), or save them for mega redemption and possibly have no good sales that weekend?

[FallenPixels]

Murale dont have the same promos as SDM, still holding out for SDM proof

[Bubbelinchen]

134k for $300 would be awesome(i want something that's almost $300 so i would have to pay tax only),better then 95000=$210 only. i have my fingers crossed. (but 95000 for 250 would be the perfect deal)

[bargaincoupon]

I just looked back to last years promotion for Murale and they had the same promotion as Shoppers last year in December. I hope its not the same this year.

k someone please help me out. i think ive lost all ability to calculate lol cuz something doesnt make sense

regular redemption:
170$ / 95,000 pts = 0.0017
whats we"re hoping mega is:
250$ / 95000 pts = 0.0026

what the gossip says:
210$ / 95000 pts = 0.0022
300$ / 134000 pts= 0.0022

so the more points i spend (i.e 300$) redemption, the value of my points stays the same?
