They vary a lot even between stores local to me but most carry LCBO $50 at Xmas

[Insane]

Mine has subway and mcdonald's and some pizza chain. They really, really vary from store to store. The best thing will be for people to go into their store and check out the selection.

[Poirot]

There is also Dairy Queen gift card and lottery gift card

[PurpleBunny89]

If my stores have Tim Hortons and Home Depot I will be set. DH is always shopping there!

I would love to be able to use the SDM cards to then buy the Visa ones so I can use them everywhere but there is no way I am paying a fee every time I use it.

Around when was the GC promo last year?

So you can purchase any combination of gift cards for any stores adding up to $150 to get the points?

So if I want Shoppers, McDonalds, Esso gift cards, it doesn't matter which I purchase?

I won't be putting more than $10 on a gift card from now on. Mom had a $300 GC (not SDM) that was defrauded by someone in Vancouver and it the store a week to investigate. They did give her the money back in the end but she was worried in the meantime that she had lost all this money. My advice: keep the amounts low and on separate cards

You actually pay the fee ($5.95 I believe) when you buy the card. So a $100.00 card is $105.95.There isn't a fee charged every time you use it. There is an additional fee if you haven't used it in 7 months from the date of first purchase.............but I can't imagine not being able to spend the whole card in 7 months. LOL

Yes - that's right. Example, last year I got 2x $25 tims, $50 ToysRUs and $50 SDM in one transaction and got the points.

[lizamarie]

wow dairy queen never seen that one b4....I hope the gift cards promo comes back

[teverett]

So with the promo you're allowed to get any of those gc's listed? Including the prepaid credit cards? If so I could definitely be participating this year.

[teverett]

Another question for the veterans. Are you allowed to purchase say 3- $50 Vanilla MasterCard's. Get the bonus points then turn around and use the gc's to purchase more gc's? Or say a $150 Mastercard (don't even know if they sell that denomination) plus a smaller gc then use the $150 Mastercard to purchase another $150 in gcs?

How does SDM make money on this ?

I don't think the other retailers pay SDM enough commission to sell their gift cards in SDM
