Is it realistically possible to get 45K points in 2 weeks?

[natynat]

So I'm at the $125 level for the mega redemption. I reaaaalllyyyyyy want to make it to $250 so that I can actually get my family Christmas gifts this year . Is there a way of getting 45K points in 2 weeks? If anyone is interested in trading points, I have lots of FPCs, replacement vouchers, and similac cheques that I've accumulated from trades and what not. I really want those points Tips? Can I stop dreaming, or do I not give up?

its definitely possible if you take advantage of the 20x event this weekend... but you'd probably have to spend 200$ lol
unless you find products that have bonus point, then you can spend less. i think there is some brand of shampoo or something that had 500 points on them in the flyer. check it out gl

well alot of things would have to come into play i think.. coupons, rainchecks, enough money to make the limit of a 'set' amount if its say a 20x day, purchasing BP items or ones with extra BP WUB2 or 10/20x on some products. or if your lucky having one of those rare coupons SDM mailed out to certain customers i was not one of them to which you'd get like 16,000 points etc when you buy stuff. not sure of all the details.
good luck hope you can reach your goal.

they will not give you your points back..instead they will give your money to you in the form of a SDM gift card

Sharkie, so will be just the reg points in the form of sdm gc which is $175.00 or $250.00

IF you were to but 1 of the Biotherm that has the 20000 pt bonus you would also get 20 x the points on top of that.
So $75 x 20 = 15000 pts plus product promo of 20000 pts gives you 35000 pts The just add odds and ends to bring it up to 45k

[MrsSunshine]

$75 to get $60 back?? is that right??

There are a few products in this line that are btwn $65 & $75 ea.
So yes it IS possible... BUT like the 20x the Biotherm promo ends Sat.

Do you have one of their credit cards? If you've got the older ones from mnba, you'd get additional 5 points per dollar purchase. Probably too late to get a new credit card, it typically takes 2 weeks and another 2 for the points to be credited. But you can open an account with RBC and get 50,000 points right away.

exactly. do this 5 or 6 times (if you buy SDM vs. something else). I spend at least 300$ per month in gas, so doing this type of transaction would be easy for me - 2 months and my gas cards are gone, so its not like I am holding onto cards forever. Or, lets say you were just about to head over to future shop and buy a 1000$ flat screen. You'd buy the gift cards first, and you'd have 56000 points just like that.

Another idea if money is tight is to simply stick with the 125$ redemption. Its actually not all that much more '$/point' when doing the 250 vs. 125.... The ones that don't make sense to do are the redeem for 10$ amounts...

if you bought something for $250.00 they will give you that on a gift card
