This is in response to the poster who asked how to cover your tax with coupons.
Easiest way to do it is to figure out how much tax you will end up having to pay and use that same amount of $ in coupons. So when you make your list you don't substract the amount of the coupon off the price of the product.

Example: Spending $170. Let's say $150 of it is food on which there is no tax and $20 have tax; so $20 x $0.15 = $3 in tax. In that $20 you have three bottles of shampoo for which there are $1 off.....so that $3 pays your tax.

Important thing to remember, is to have $170 before your coupons (redeemable product). Then have them enter the points you are spending, then hand over coupons to help cover the rest (tax and deposits). When they start entering coupons, the system won't let you redeem any points any more.

@nalaric - so then @Bargain Seeker's way will work if you have them take the points off first before handing over the coupons? Because when I read her post I thought, no you need to spend $173 to get your full $170 redemption value.
Ok, so you're saying if the total is $170 + $3 tax, it will take off the $170, then you can hand over the $3 in coupons to cover the tax? Did I get that right? If so I'm going to plan to do this!
I think this is something new since they changed the system earlier this year/late last year - can someone confirm?
Thanks

Yes exactly

I followed this for my 50k/$85 redemption. My taxes were just over $8 and I had $9 in coupons. But my pre-tax total was $86.xx. So my total was - as the manager who checked me out said - "a whopping 46 cents!"

Plus I'm getting 75c back from a CO51 offer -- sweet

Thanks to everyone for posting and confirming this info!

I added 3 Tim Horton's Kcups to my order so that I will get the $10 Gift Card too.

I saw 30,000 points adjustment added to my account, looks to me that's the redemption bonus points. Anybody else also got the points?
