Skincare purchase advice

[d.ot]

I just received a 20x the points wus 25$ coupon for Wednesday.
I think I can combine it with a store skincare 20x the points promo (?)
If it all works, I stand to earn 39k in points (I would do a 50k redemption to minimize my oop).
My question -- with Mother's day coming up, as well as the beauty event, would it be worth holding off for a better offer?? Or perhaps wait for a beauty redemption? Any advice would be appreciated!

There are a lot of product bonus points (you didn't say what you are buying or how much it is) and manufacturer coupons that can also be used. I think 40x plus gc 1x is a great deal.

I am looking at a 99$ Strivectin gift set. So combined with the 20x skincare promo and the Wednesday 20x promo, I would receive 40x the points. I am not aware of any manufacturer coupons, but if any are available, I would love to know!

If you bought a $100 gift card before purchasing the gift set then your points would be worth $89.10 at the highest redemption level.
The company is offering the same set for $89 with free shipping.
I think you found a very good deal.

Do we know yet whether you would get these new points coupons (5 days after using) ... when you redeem points? I have a feeling that we won't get them now....

I was told that pc #1 will not work. Coupons 2-7, only the ones with bonus points for a specific product will work with a redemption.
I've been watching to see if pc 1 worked for anyone, nothing yet but maybe too soon. Maybe by Thurs or Friday?

Yes that's right. Today i called sdm and asked if i can combine my pc #7 (15x on any quo lip stuff) with my wednesday offer "22000 pts wus $100". She said that i can combine both coupons. 15x on any quo lip is product bonus points and 22000 pts is total purchase points. BUT I can't combine my 8000 pts on any skincare (pc # 1) with my wednesday 22000 pts offer.

confusion:
then i told her that there is also 10x pts attached to quo lippies on flyer. I want to use my 15x pts on quo lippies with 22000 pts wus $100. Can i do that?
she as sure that i will get my 22000 pts but she was not sure if i will get 10x (flyer points ) or 15x (my coupon) pts. She was not sure if i will get 25x pts on quo.
does anyone know for sure what's going to happen?


my evil plan:
buy $100 sdm gc.
buy $100 quo lippies, use my 15x quo lippies coupon and 22000 wus $100. If i get 25x $100 then i will get 25000+22000+1000(gc pts)=48000 pts.
almost free stuff right there!

My question. If your first personalized coupon is 20x Wu's $50. You want to buy a $80 product. Can you do a $30 redemption and get 20x on the remaining $50?

Almost free... But you are going to need to buy more makeup storage. Lol. Search Zahara lipstick towers on amazon.com...

If she assured you that you would get the 22,000 coupons for the pc, it stands to reason that you would also get the 10x and 15x points, since those are added immediately....sounds like a great plan to me Amira! If I could wear some of the lip colours, I would be all over your evil/genius plan!!! :D

Although no one knows how new sdm coupon team have changed the system, but seems like now they truly mean what they write on their coupons. So if we go by their rules, our subtotal before taxes, deposits etc and after redeeming our points should be $50 minimum to qualify for that 20x coupon.

But how about giving them a call and get a clear answer?

When i called them yesterday i got an impression that this new team is very well educated about their coupons as compared to the previous team/system.

O my god! I am feeling very big butterflies all over my body. Lol. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

Worst case scenario: i will get only 10x lippies flyer pts and 22000 coupon pts,
Middle case scenario: i will get 15x lippies coupon pts and 22000 coupon pts,
Heaven: i will get all the pts. Lol.

@jsmile
That lip stick tower..... too expensive! And no pts offer on it?
And all the quo lip stuff is selling for $12 each. So i can buy only 8 lip sticks (4 for me, 4 for my mommy), and will spend $4 on chocolates to bribe my hubby. Lol.

@amira84 , last week when I used my 16k wus $60 one day coupon, I bought shiseido skin cream with 10x on it and oral care toothpaste with bonus points and both were awarded right away so you shouldn't have any problem with the 10x on your lip products.
