Several years ago when the Ipod Nano was that tiny little square with a screen, they were giving one for redeeming 16-19000 points (can't remember exact amount) The product was around $160 in stores I believe. They were excellent little presents for Christmas. Also we have redeemed 50000 for an Ipod Touch, another present, and 29000 for a Tassimo when they were first coming out and sold out everywhere. Last year I think they were giving iPads for around 119000 points. They also occasionally clear out items but you have to randomly check the website for those.
Aside from those 'specials', I have always found the better deals to be the $20 Purdy's card, 8000 points (great just before Christmas for those oops forgot a gift times) and the 29000 points for $100 Jim Pattison Toyota (other dealers as well).
If you're big into collecting points, the flyer as well as tags in store advertise bonus points for buying certain products.
