GIFT CARD PROMO CONFIRMED!! Nov 9 - 15

[chillys-willy]

$50 iTunes and App Store gift card was on for $40 at target this last week. This is the second time for this promo in the last 2-3 months. I just saw the signs last night.
i guess that works out way better then the SDM deal if anyone is looking to buy the ITunes or App Store GC.

Same deal at RCSS this week in the flyer. Think I will buy one there.

It was my understanding that you could purchase SDM GC's only, with a credit card. I've been doing this for years, but my store does not allow the purchase of any other GC's with credit card. Ask the store manager.

I'm going to just go with 2 x $75 SDM GC for the 9500 pnts to use for the next few 18500 wub $75 events. As a side not I've never had any issue at any of the shoppers around me about using my cc for any gift card purchase. $ is $ to them

[CrazyQT]

Do not take the chance using a financial card/SDM gift card to make these purchases. It's not up to the store whether you get your points or not. Be safe and use debit or cash.

GC Promo confirmed - same deal as in prior years. 2 cards totalling at least $150 = 8000 pts.

I just went to purchase $150 in gc at my shoppers and was told that since it was over $100 i could not use my credit card! when did this begin?

[The_Scarecrow]

Got my $450 in SDM GCs and used my RBC CC no problem.

[travelgeek]

no problems using a credit card here either.

why debit but not credit? aren't they both issued by financial institutions?

[krazytwacy]

Does anyone know when this gets awarded. I didn't see it on my receipt. Thanks

So I did the promo, unfortunately I brought my DH along. Couldn't get all the cards I wanted. Hubby didn't want Petro Canada even though they had the save 5 cents/L deal. He only wanted Chevron but settled for Esso. I got a mixture of Tim Hortons, Subway, iTunes, Starbucks,Winners, and Esso. Cashier had no idea of the event and said I wouldn't get any points for GC's. Had to show her the flyer. She also wouldn't do my last transaction ( I did 3). I was like," excuse me, I want those ones too." Paid by debit. Next year doing this by myself.

I was informed at one of the SDMs where I bought $150 in GCs that there was no need to swipe my Optimum card as it doesn't apply with GCs. I explained that SDM has a GC points promo this week. She told me that there has been an internet email scam and that you can't believe everything you read online. I asked her to humour me by scanning my Optimum card.

What I should have said was "Well I read it on Smart Canucks so it MUST be true!"

[Shwa Girl]

Cashier had no idea of the event and said I wouldn't get any points for GC's. Had to show her the flyer.

Now, that's really bad. If the promo was something mailed to SDM customers - then I would understand the cashier not being aware.

But, if it's in the flyer, that's really bad. The cashier should at least know what is in the flyer for their own store!

[RMurp007]

My cashier didn't know either. I showed her the flyer and she thanked me. However, the Petro 5 cent off a Litre of gas cards all expired on Dec. 31, 2013, so not so great as Christmas gifts.

Got my cards yesterday, went to a large Shoppers Drug Mart to get the best variety. Got:
1x $25 LCBO
1x$20 Sunbway
1x$25 Shoppers
4x$15 Tim Hortons
1x$25 Tim Horton

worked out to be $155 and I now have most of my a lot of my christmas shopping done! $15 gift certs are for teachers and bus driver and the rest for my hubby's side of the family .
