What is the point of getting an SPC card?

[marstec]

I bought an SPC card for my daughter because she likes clothes from American Eagle and Gap. I'm finding it difficult for her to use it for any discounts because a lot of stores have the restriction of regular priced items only. She is a clothes-horse, so I strongly encourage her to buy sale items.

We were at Rexall yesterday and she was buying a few toiletries (on sale) and was not able to use the card. Are there any places that take this card without restrictions?

I mostly use mine at zellers...... You get 10% off your bill..... regardless of sales or not... also- you can use it as well as coupons.... you can also use it at the restaurant..... I would say i save about 100bucks from zellers in a year...

Zellers is 10% off regular and sale price. The Source is 10% off regular and sale price. I don't use it anywhere else, so I'm not sure. Check the restrictions on their website. They say what the deal is at each of the qualifying stores.

if you go on there site it will list the stores and what you can save

I love SPC I find I am always able to save the more money than the price of the card! Food, Clothes!

i agree, i think the reason my brother didn't get one is because the stores he normally shops at only give it on reg price items, and he buys stuff on sale (god bless him). Just out of curiousity, how much are they? And do anybody know of any clothing stores that accept it on sale items too?

[lilkaiser]

They are only $9.00.... So as long as you can save $9.00 in the year.. it doesn't hurt to have one!

Okay Thanks!

I did look at the stores and restrictions before buying her the card. I'm not sure if it's a good value for her, she has yet to use it on any purchases. I sure wished we had the card last year when we bought a leather jacket for her at Danier!

I got one free when I filled my taxes at H&R. The only time I've ever used it was to get a discount on shoes from Aldo.

The only other time was when I tried using it at Bentleys once about two weeks before the expiry date, but they wouldn't accept it because they kept saying it was expired already.

Marstec, I really miss this card (SPC VIP). I miss my deals at Zellers, Burger King (salads) and at Harvey's. On the positive side, we are eating less fast food.

Shwa Girl,
Is it for anything at Burger King? That might work, although my daughter lectures us about eating fast food (but she doesn't want to be left out when we are eating it!).

I like expensive stores too, but as a student you need to get the cheapest stuff possible to survive. Seriously, an SPC card helps you a TON! Sometimes you can get discounts on groceries like at Sobeys, and Zellers. Or when you need last-minute interview clothes, you can pop by the mall and gather up an outfit with your SPC card. It's really useful.

I think it's 10% off any regular meal combo (excludes the daily deals).

It is usable on American Eagle sale items. 15% off at Gap on regular however that usually brings it inline with whatever is on sale so still not a bad deal overall.
