I had the old system down pat, but this new system there will be a trial and error period!! I liked it better when you got the points right away..I bought most of my items knowing I was getting the points, now I go to the cash and try different things until it works..my cashier's are very nice, they're learning to. I call SDM for info but they're not right sometimes..I was told I have to spend $40.00 after all manufacturer coupons and personalized coupons were used. But I spent $41.00 used all coupons it came down to $31.00, I calculated because of the personalized coupons I needed around $2.00, grabbed a bread came up to $33.00 and the 4000 pts coupons came back..redeemed points paid the difference now I hope I get the 4000, will keep you posted!!

Thanks Amira, I love my SDM!!!

SDM had the Cadbury, large chocolate bars on sale for .99 cents plus they had buy 4 get 8,000 pts so you paid $4.00 and got $10.00 back, then you use your points to buy the chocolate bars, so you never had to use your own money, you got free chocolate bars, got points plus made money..this happened for about 2 days until they realized their error..then they changed it to 1 per card, some people were able to get great deals on this promotion...

What? Sdm gave free chocolate last year? Why? Was that some type of promo or something else? Can you share some details if you remember?
