Question - Perfume Gift Cert. & Points

[BCcheapMom]

I was given the Shopper's perfume sampler with gift cert. for any of the enclosed perfumes - I've never had this before. Does anyone know if this will still earn points?

Someone already paid for the giftset, now you just have to go "redeem" the certificate for the perfume...so by that logic the answer is no. Points would have been issued to buyer.

I've bought these before, and earned the points when purchasing. Then earned when redeeming (was a gift for the wife). YMMV, but it has gone down like that for me - I was suprised.

Thanks to both of you - I didn't think I would get standard points but I was thinking it might qualify for product specific or category specific offers - I think I'll wait until Valentine's Day when we see lots of fragrance offers and see what happens - points are obviously just some icing on the cake!

@ BCcheapMom: Wow! I guess it wouldn't hurt trying to redeem on a 18500 wus $75 then and if you happen to have a personalized offer that's like double the points for you (from a gift).

You don't get points on $0 transaction which is what your total will be when you redeem your voucher.

I think I've done it before a couple years back. Got points when purchased and points when used voucher.

IF:
purchase $75 perfume sampler set, get 18500 points
redeem $75 perfume voucher, get 18500
use personalized email 20x, or 8000 wus $40 ect.

That's almost free. I don't get it.

Maybe it depends on the store or how cashiers ring it through??

I've received a few as gifts and have never received points when redeeming for the free perfume. I did ask once but they said since the person who bought the sampler pack already received the points I wasn't eligible for more points.

Good luck! Please post your findings. I'm curious now that others have said its worked for them.

If that works, I am so gonna purchase the mascara sampler.

K - I'm thinking the only way it might work is if there are bonus points attached with a specific brand or category so I'll wait until I see something like that and let folks know!

[LimeFizzy]

The only way I can see it not working anymore is if they changed the code on the new fragrance samplers so people don't get the points on the redemption part. Every year they have new samplers...maybe they caught on?

I've never received my points for a perfume voucher...There are instructions on how the cashier is to ring it in, there is NO WAY you will get points. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who has, its because the cashier didn't know what she was doing.

It is a PLU voucher, I always buy them when I am buying one of the perfumes included for the bonus samples but only get the points once
I usually redeem the voucher when there is bonus points on the particular perfume and do get those points.
Since the coupon will leave you with a $0 balance (if entered correctly) you will have 0 base points so 20x will give you 0 too

Eaxactly, you don't get points on it. It's not a "loophole."
