Somewhere inbetween all that I got a little bored one day, and noticed that Shoppers had the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1" Tablet on sale for 269.95.. Regularly priced at 379.95.
Unfortunately I didn't have a 20 times points offer to combine with the redemption weekend... so I had to wait until wednesday, and I recieved a 20x points offer.
269.95 x 1.13 = $305.04 - redemption of 170.00 = $135.04
I preloaded a gift card with 136 dollars with my shopper Mastercard..... 136 x (10+15 points) = 3400 points.
And got 20x points on the before tax amount of 269.95-170= 99.95 x 200 = 19990 points
For a total of 23390 points....
200 my average redemption / 95000 * 23390 = $49.24 in points.. lets just say 50 bucks.
So my actual Out pocket expense on a $379.95 dollar Tablet was 135.04 - 50 = Just $85.00
I love shoppers!
Also worth mentioning the tablet actually rocks... Takes crap ass photo's however, but with the 50 gigs of cloud space it came with and since I use a Samsung S4 phone i was able to set it up, so all my photo's taken with my good phone automatically get uploaded to the cloud and are immediately viewable on my Tablet, or computer, or at work for that matter. And if i want to laze around in bed and watch a bit of netflix before bed, I can now. Also Sure as heck beats squinting at my S4 and trying to read articles on Quantum Computing and other varies interests... I can put reading glasses off longer now. lol
Okay peace out.. and love to all.
