Hi heavenly hash!
I hope you see my msg before going to sdm. I wanted to talk to you about your comment you made on my thread....
If your coupons say that points will be awarded at a later date then you wont get any points at all if you use these coupons while redeeming points. But if your coupons don't mention anything about points to be added at a later date then you can easily use these coupons while redeeming points. You will get the points right away.
I see you mentioned that you have a "12000 pts wus $50". I believe these points will be awarded on the 2nd of April or 14th of April. Sdm guys dont give these points if your base points are zero.

Hope this helps, and let me know if you have more questions. I learned about optimum points from awesome SC fellows and now i am passing this info to others.
