If you’re shopping at the Moonlight Madness tomorrow, chances are you’ll spend $40 or more. Might as well earn some Airmiles while you’re at it. I believe that if you’re not signed up for automatic (Airmiles) redemption, the 40000 HBC Reward points just stay in your account. Can anyone confirm this?
Also… at Zellers… their flyer is advertising Classic Monopoly for $2.99 when you buy the newest version of certain Hasbro Board Games (such as Monopoly), which are “U Build” style. That would be a fast way to get two birthday or Christmas gifts taken care of (for two different kids in two different houses)… and save a stack of $$ on the second one… all while collecting extra air miles points!

Tried to print the coupon. Not only did it not print but now I have a “Printing Page” pop up box stuck on my computer screen that won’t go away. I’m pretty sure I’ll have to re-start my computer to get rid of it. I’d advise anyone else to think twice — are 20 Airmiles worth a possible virus?
No its not a virus, its advertised well.
I printed mine with no issues.
Do you get HBC points if you buy gift cards for other stores at Zellers? (I’m not even sure if they have GCs there, but worth to ask) Thanks!
Just remember:
If you convert HBc/Z points to AirMiles you lose 50% of your purchasing power.
A very bad deal!

I got this email yesterday but it was spend $50 get 20 Airmiles, no mention of HBC Rewards. Hmmm…
operabob — I agree. That’s why I’m hoping that if you’re not signed up for automatic redemption then the points stay in your HBC Rewards account. 40000 HBC points are worth $5, while 20 Airmiles are only worth $2.50 (if you were to redeem a $20 GC to Metro for 160 Airmiles, for example).
Yes Yes Yes!!! The points stay in your acct if you don’t have the airmile card like to the hbc card. I have used this coupon with no lost points in the past. Thank you so much for sharing!!!! Thanks to you and my babysitter I’m using this one tonight:)
I agree that it would be great for the points to just stay in your HBC account instead of changing to airmiles, but…it does say right on the coupon:
“Terms and Conditions
You must be signed up for automatic redemption to receive this Bonus Offer.”
Carrying handbags is not only necessity for women but it always helped her enhance the style statement. Since 18 th century, ladies handbags had been a common concern for women and now it has been converted into an entire industry.

It’s true that for gift cards the value of Air Miles is less in this instance. But if you look at reward options that have a better cents per mile value like buy one get one free movie tickets (Empire Theatres, Cineplex) then the value of 20 Air Miles can jump up to $7 or more. Using them for flights can sometimes give you better value than gift cards as well.
