Thanks!

There is a similar thread for this somewhere, what I would like to know is, I'm planning on spending $200 at Sears, can I buy 4 $50.00 gc and get 400 air miles? Thanks...

I can't make out the fine print on the scan. Some promotions do it differently, but the usual rule is one transaction per day per account. If that rule holds, than you should be able to buy 4 $50 Sears gift cards over 4 days, and then use them to gain Sears points when shopping at Sears. I am planning on doing a similar thing for Marks. Work boots are in my future, so I am hoping to pick up 3-4 $50 cards over as many transactions/days as necessary.

(Marks usually has a once-a-year promotion near the end of November where they give you back (I think it was) 10% of the value of your gift card purchase in bonus gift cards. Combine with a good 50% promotion, or the 15% for things which never otherwise go on sale.)

Gift cards also won't count toward Metro's weekend buy $95 get 95 AM promotion. On the other hand, the double promotion and not-too-bad sale prices do give a good excuse to shop at Metro this weekend.

Thanks for posting. This is a good deal but I wish they expanded it to all GCs.

thanks Talia, I was hoping I could do 4 Separate transactions on the same day..I don't live close to a Metro and it would be an inconvenience to go 4 days in a row.

I tested this. You can buy multiple cards at the same time and get AM for all of them. Some Metros have a limit on maximum gift card purchase with credit cards (mine has a limit of $200), but you can always split up the cards into multiple transactions. The cashier even recommended it.

I too bought a Keg and Sears card in one transaction and got the Air Miles for both. This was good timing for me as our girls party is at the Keg.
