$10 Shoppers Gift Card from last promo

[MunS]

Hi

I received this during the last promo a couple of weeks along with Ultimate dining gift card for spending $75. This was the first time I did this as I also had another points promo of get 18500 WUS $100 loaded.

The Shoppers $10 Gift card has an expiry date of 13th August. Can this be used like a regular gift card/cash till that date? I mean if I have a "receive 12000 points WUS $50", can I use it to pay part of $50 and still receive 12000 points?

Thanks

These dated promotional gift cards reduce the qualifying total, so you would need to spend $10 more to meet your qualifying total (ie $50).

Thanks for your reply Saved me a call to customer service after I'd have invariably used it to reduce my total.

That's not good though. $10 GC at Shoppers is not nearly as valuable if it can't be used to earn points. I will treat it like $5 discount in future because $10 usually fetch me at least 2560 points, which I redeem for around $4.6-$6.0.

OK, we just experienced this situation so already had the answer. DF was using the $10 promo card to buy 4x$2.99 (=$11.96) Orange juice and he had a 2k wub $10 offer. Paid $1.96 after promo code, and he only received 10 base points, zero personal offer, so knew immediate the $10 promo card reduces qualifying amount.
