be careful! I know because I have tried different variations to maximize offers with redemptions.
You will NOT get personalized bonus points for any amount of redemption $ value. You must meet the spending threshold above the redemption amount.
examples:
16000 wus $60
spend $65 - $60 redemption = $5 over redemption amount = NOT meeting spending threshold
16000 wus $60
spend $125 - $60 redemption = $65 over redemption amount = IS meeting spending threshold
If it has worked for you to redeem points equal $ to redemption ($60/$60) then you shopped at a test store.
TEST STORES
Really cool transactions are happening to different people and all the posts are wonderful. Be very careful when trying the same transactions.
examples:
*gift card $ value applying to personal offer spending thresholds
*personal offer points being awarded immediately at purchase (no delay)
*redeeming equal $ value of purchase and still getting large personal points offers (22000 wus $100)
When really great transactions are happening, it DOES NOT that you or I will also receive the great points even if we do the EXACT transaction on the same day, with the identical offer.
Some stores are identified as TEST STORES. Points awarded immediately, bonus points on redemption amounts, points on gift cards.
Be careful, this is NOT the new norm. System has not changed across the country.
These transactions are ONLY happening at the test stores.
Mine is NOT a test store, so I will NOT be receiving the 16000 points x 2 shops I've been waiting for. I just followed someone else's shop and got very excited that how could I pass on this deal?
I am NOT complaining, I just want everyone to know to not expect the same offer to work at your store.
7 PERSONAL OFFERS (previously fri offers, now Sat offers)
have NOT been cancelled
delayed because of trial weekend, 2 day personal offers
WILL be coming after the weekend personal offers (so Sunday or Monday)
