I don't have the answer but I know last year's gift card event was from Nov. 10 to 16th. Here's hoping it will be the same this year.
yeah, it's been sometime in November the last 3 years, im waiting for it too. Im actually on my last gift card from last year's promo, I was expecting to use them up much earlier but it hasn't been a good summer for lottery tickets, I just won't buy so many gift cards like last year.
I'm waiting for this one too---- I like to buy up a bunch of LCBO ones so I can buy my Christmas wines and SDM ones, obviously!!
i can't remember the totals. is it spend 150 in gift cards u get 8000 pts? my memory is bad and i don't want to search.
i guess my memory isn't that bad after all!
Anxiously waiting for this promotion again as well. :)
Thanks everyone for sharing infirmation on the GC bonus. I didn't participate last year but knowing I can get LCBO GC at SDM I'm super excited for this event!
I was curious to what all this GC promo was about so thanks for the clarification - sure hope sdm runs one again soon. In the past did it include any and all gift cards that they sell? This is exciting :icon_santa:
Last year I got a variety of: Petro Canada, Club Penguin membership, Home Depot, SDM, iTunes, Home Hardware, McDonalds, Playstation, Old Navy, Bon Apetit and Xbox. The Petro ones I bought for myself and most of the others I gave as Christmas gifts or used to purchase gifts. I love this promo! All of the cards listed in the Gift Card Mall on the SDM website are included.
Just be very careful to insist that the cashier scan your Optimum Card. I had a long battle last year when I bought $150 in GC along with a clearance score of some Life Brand swiffer-type sheets . I'd put my Optimum Card out for her to scan while I got my wallet. I didn't check until I picked up my bag and my card only to see she HADN'T scanned my card. Cashier said "Don't worry, you don't get points on gift cards anyway and your other stuff would have only been 200 points!" Can you believe it? She scanned the card with the transaction receipt after the fact so I got the 200 points easily enough but the GC bonus points were a headache that took three calls to resolve.
I'm still psyched up for this year's promo because GCs are great for both buying gifts and giving as gifts. I also pick up GCs for restaurants we'll be using over the holiday season, helping to manage our eating-out budget a little bit better while also getting points!
Check with your Shoppers about their policy when buying GCs - some will let you use a credit card to do that and others won't. There's nothing worse than planning on a credit card purchase and then being told you have to come up with the debit amount right then if you're kind of tapped out on that account!
good advice
i went last year and made the girl swipe the optimum card. she said a customer came in teh day before and purchased 3000 worth of gift cards and she didn't know about the promotion so she didn't swipe her card!
