How To Get away with 25000+ points at SDM this week

[zealot1205]

Okay My thread title is inspired by How to get away with murder which i have been devouring just like house of cards

This week , I am planning to maximize the Optimum points earned on some purchases i have been meaning to do for a long while . We have 18, 500 points weekend coming up and I got 20X on $50 or more in Text and Scratch offer . I have 56K points residue from last beauty bonus redemption

In the process of researching on how to get the most points, i stumbled across lots of optimum offers which have not been discussed
and I thought of sharing my knowledge and calculation process with you guys.

Things on my need list
1. CON air curl secret - Regular shoppers price $119.99 , Bonus points 5000
2. Nexxus HC and shampoo -Get 10X The Shoppers Optimum Points^®* when you purchase any participating Nexxus product valid till march 27
3. Mens electric shaver for BF - no points - Phillips shaver regular price 59.99 dont know price this weekend yet

-----Things i do not need immediately and can be filler items----
John Freida Luxury Voluminous , John Frieda Frizz ease Forever smooth Serum

Here is how I intend to shop :
On Tuesday , march 10th 20 X WUS 50 I shall Buy :
1. Curl Secret curler - $119.99 - 120*10*20 = 24000+ 5000bp = 29000 bp
2. Nexxus hair conditioner -( 2 units)$12.99 each - 13*20*10*2 = 5200 bp - will use $8 coupon
3. Electric shaver - $59.99 - 60 * 20 = 1200 bp
----------------------------------------------------
Total 205.96
coupon -8.00
redeem -85
----------------
112.96 (more than 50)
Total points earning potential: 35,400

Hi Zealot. I might be mixed up, but the text offer is for Tuesday only, and the other offer is for the weekend only. Don't see how they can be combined.

Hi Zealot. I might be mixed up, but the text offer is for Tuesday only, and the other offer is for the weekend only. Don't see how they can be combined.

Which other offer you are talking about? I guess she was talking about 20x wus $50, redeeming points and buying products with product bonus points attached to them. Right @zealot1205 ?

The nexxus coupon isn't $8 off one product though?

Yes @annedougherty just noticed the wording on that $8 coupon so confusing!. I will sure buy the shampoo to go with the conditioner, use the coupon and claim 2 *$3 cashback on CO51 using bf's and my devices.
Follow up question the nexxus hair care products are on an ongoing 10 X instore March promotion
Will I get the 10X on top of 20X on the Nexxus purchases or just the 20 X for using my 20X WUS 50 coupon ?

[zealot1205]

I love it how you combined all these fantastic deals and make it work in your favour. I love to do the same thing, in fact i do these type of calculations EVERY WEEK. Lol

let us know if it all works out as you have mentioned here.

I sure will Amira! Learned from the guru , hope this disciple of yours is worthy of your admiration

Zealot1205..Thanks so much. I was reading it that both can be used on same day.
Went back to read more carefully and now see what you are saying.
Thanks again.
