Possible Money Maker in Points: Help Please!

As I was browsing through shoppers this morning I came across a potentially great deal!

There is an Optimum bonus points offer for Loreal... buy 3 products get 3000 points

There are $1.50 coupons off any Loreal hair product on the shelf

There are tubes of a restorative serum( forgetting the actual name right now) for $2.99 which had the bonus point tag on it

Breakdown:

2.99$ x 3= $8.97
+ Tax= $10.14
- Coupons (3*$1.50)= $5.64 and 3000 bonus points

This past weekend 95k points was worth $200 (200/95000 = 0.002105263 per optimum point)
Which means that at that redemption level which is a little higher than normal would be 3000 points would be worth $6.32

Since we paid $5.64
and get $6.32 worth of points
We are UP $0.68

A regular redemption we would only get $5.37 per 3000 points so you would want to wait until a 'special' one

Would this work? The offer is until the 26th.. and 20x points event this weekend which might be the perfect time to take advantage of this offer!

I was considering with the Loreal purchase too and would combine with 8000 pts with $30 spend (would make more money). BUT, I have tooooooooooooo many hair products:shock:

The coupons say one coupon per purchase so they would only let me use 1....the cashier did offer to do them in 3 separate transactions for me.....

Doesn't 1 per purchase mean 1 per item? You should be able to use 3 coupons for 3 items, 6 for 6...

I per purchase is per item One per transaction is a whole transaction or one per customer.

I purchased 6 products but I only got the 3000 bonus points once. Is this correct or should I be able to get the 3000 bonus points twice since it is 3000/3 products

I believe you should receive 6000 pts because it is store offer not personal offer.
