Alright, but be warned... They won't know what the hell your talking about. So first have them scan your optimum card, then have them select gift card as if you were buying one, but then they press "f1" to select "top up". Then you swipe your gift card, and tell them how much you want to "top up".
haha

I am all about the personalized coupons, manufacturing coupons, deals and hunting the flyers every week. But i think a lot of people don't do it because it takes a lot of work. I enjoy doing it but not everyone does. There is a cost factor and that is time. For example, a friend who doesn't have dependents, works 60hrs a week and doesn't have a lot to shop for and pursuing a doctorate would rather just go to the store when he has time. Going thru the flyer, matching up to coupons and then making sure to be over $50 takes work (that I find worthwhile but others don't.

This is true...I had an optimum card for years and never used it or paid attention to it. Then when I was recuperating from surgery and had a few weeks off with nothing to do but surf the net all day, I discovered the Smart Canucks forums and realized what I was missing! Now I make the time for it, but before I never would have because I didn't know what it was worth.

I can't afford NOT to shop at SDM! Today I bought Estee Lauder skin care products for $110 -- may as well buy them at SDM, because they are the same price everywhere and never go on sale. I had a personalized coupon for 22,000 bonus points when spending at least $100. Then, the wonderful associate told me that I would also get 20X the points for spending at least $75!!! Plus, I used my SDM MasterCard, for an additional 15 points for each $1 spent. In total today, I spent $124.30, including taxes. I earned 45864 points. The only thing I could have done better was to buy $125 in gift cards first, for an additional 1,250 points in store, plus bonus points earned on my SDM MasterCard. But, I will remember to buy a gift card on Friday, (thanks for the reminder!!!) because today SDM sent me another personalized coupon for 22,000 bonus points on $100 spend, and the associate told me that the 20X the points continues through Friday. I will spend another $125 (buy gift card then use it to buy Estee Lauder) and get 48,989 points. My two-day total will be spent $249.30 ($124.30 today and buy $125 gift card on Friday) and I will earn 94,853 points. I will hold off for the Beauty bonus redemption of spend 80,000 points for $200 of product. Will get back almost 100% of my spending in free products!

Are you talking about me? I don't have dependents, I work 50-60 hours a week in a chemistry lab and I am getting my doctorate next year! LOL
But I still make time for my SDM planning and trips! I look forward to Friday not because it's the weekend (I'm usually in the lab most weekends), but for the personalized coupons!

LOL I don't even have to look at other people, I just look at my household, particularly my brothers. One bro used to coupon but he quit because he cannot find FPC and see 'no benefit' in using dollar-off coupons. My dad and the other bro would never use the coupons, optimum points or pc and its not like we are making a million-dollar a year or something. Some people just don't like savings. Some people do not even know how to use coupon but does not want to learn either...ok I am a 'bad saver' too, I guess, because I never save 100% :p...p.s. I got three bros.
Last month, my [evil] bro 'burnt' [long story] $145 in one occasion and $250 in another...lets just say he is a money-burning machine. My mom was telling me 'if you don't help us save money, we will go bankrupt' HA

Anyone else have a CANDY CANE SDM card? Scratch and sniff!!!! It will be my re-loadable until the end of time... Or until it no longer smells and they come out with new smelly ones LOL.
Just a heads up reloadables can be loaded to a MAX of 200$. Tried 250 once and the system wouldn't take it.
Any card without a denomination written on it can be reloaded. It's way better for the environment then buying a new card every week before you shop. All Smart Canuks should have one in their wallet!Keep Smiling!
