Shoppers Drug Mart 25% off when you spend $50 on regular price items(Mar 8th)

So assume I have a purchase of 227$ before taxes.
25% off brings my total to 170$. Can I use 95,000 points to bring this total to zero?

Or is it the other way around:
Total of 227$ less 95,000 points (170$) brings my total to 57$.
25% off 57$ brings my OOP to 42$

If it is scenario 1, that is better than the 200$ redemption deal on Saturday...

Can someone confirm how it works?

I don't know but you could try scenario one and not tell them you plan to use your points till after the 25% coupon comes off. You can always cancel the purchase.

[mrskoka]

Yes you can do that BUT 25% off on regular prices only so depending on sale items and your shopping list Saturday's redemption may be better.

Coupon states discount may not exceed $50 at the bottom. So it would be $177.
That being said, I've found that the discount does sometimes go over the $50.

Wouldn't it be best to buy at least $200 of regular priced stuff. Then you would get the $50 ($200 * 25%) discount which would subtotal $150 and then get additional $20 of whatever you wanted (sale or regular price) to come to $170. If you are buying regular priced items it looks like you come out ahead if you redeem on the Friday. Basically getting $220 worth of stuff for $170 but only if $200 of your stuff is regular price.

I hope that I can buy the 3DS on Friday with this coupon and my points! OUr DD has been BEGGING for one for her birthday! Thanks SDM!

So the system can distinguish between reg price and sale items and apply the discount only on reg price items?
I assumed the system was dumb and would just take 25% off the total... SDM is too smart to me.

Also you get an extra 10% for seniors with this

What does this mean?

[uanoor]

I think system can distinguish, as when ever we buy any sale item, it is mentioned on the receipt beside that product and also mentioned at the end you saved $20 or 25 what ever.

I think it's scenario #2. On fine print it say 25% off purchase of $50 or more before taxes and AFTER redemptions. So you would redeem $170 from using 95000 points and whatever is left over would have 25% off applied to that.

The coupon reads save 25% ...after redemptions

[chabinator]

I bought a nexus tablet with 25% coupon and redemption a couple of months ago.... I gave first the 25% coupon and after I redeemed

270$ -25%= 202,50$ - 170$ (95k pts) = 32,50 + 30,35$ (taxes on 202,50) = 63$ it's weird because the conditions on coupon were defenitively not respected..... and they were aware of the 50$ maximum rebate, but gave me 67,50 rebate

That would be a nice bonus! Where did you read this?
