My redeem 100,000 HBC points for $20 victory

[couponkristin]

Ethics aside, one of my room-mates went home for Christmas for 3 weeks and she got an HBC points flyer in the mail. There was a small piece of tape holding the pages together but (after some bending and snooping) it was clearly some adds and coupons that would be expired before she got home. I took it upon myself to borrow them from her.

They were like the coupons in the forum right now (for HBC bonus points) except they didn't say "spend $20/$30/$40" they just said "with any Zellers/Bay/Home Outfitters purchase". I used them as follows:
30,000 points for purchase at Zellers- $1.47 on Hotwheels (40%off)
30,000 points for purchase at Zellers-$0.77 on Hotwheels (40%off)
50,000 points for purchase at The Bay- $0.98 on a Christmas figure that was 30% off the clearance price. (my aunt has a village of these suckers)


Total spent- like $3.25
Points earned- 110,000
REDEEMED 100,000 POINTS FOR A $20 GIFT CARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! I have to figure out how to sign up to receive the coupons next time!!!

[zameluzza]

wow nice

[couponkristin]

I want to know why I didn't get the coupons myself! Maybe because she never uses her card?

[GottaLoveFreeebies]

I just got mine about a month ago....still figuring things out....

[couponkristin]

I just got mine THIS WEEK!

[twdollie]

i haven't gotten my rewards card yet and it's been over a month

ahah hopefully ur roomate doesn't mind u jacking her coupons..LOL even if they were expiring before she got back.=D

I didn't get those in the mail damn that deal was sweet!

[Aliciax]

OMG thats so cool! My dad just throws his HBC envies and doesnt bother opening.. grr gotta give him a call to see if theres any more !

[babygonnermann]

I have had my card for years, and I have NEVER received an envie from HBC?!?

[couponkristin]

She doesn't care, she 'shares' all my stuff! lol

[myguppy]

lol "ethics aside"

Great job!!

[nv_jenn]

I love the ethics aside part too.. If they are going to expire before she gets back I am going to use them for sure too... whats the point in letting her have something expired?

[harbie]

Do you only get those coupons if you ahve the credit card or does it still come if younhave the HBC points card only.

If it is for the credit card I better get one!

Was this today that you redeemed for $20 for 100000 points ? Lucky because my Zellers says that promotion is over...

[CraftyLady1024]

I think you have to have the credit card, to get these special offers I got the odd offer when they had the two tier system with the gold card points card but no longer.
