Huge thanks to mydusty for this tidbit!
This week if you purchase a Shoppers Drug Mart “Students Shop and Spend” Gift Card you will get 5x the optimum points. This gift card is basically the same as the regular Shoppers gift cards but you can put any amount on it and not just the set $25, $50, ect. And you don’t have to be a student to redeem them either.
For all you Optimum gurus out there that buy the gift card to use for your own shopping so you get the extra points this is a great time to max out the points even more. Woohoo bonus points!!
Awesome! Will definitely be picking one of these up!
k so can I buy a $75 student card and get 5x the points…
buy $75 fragrance (was going to anyways) and get 10,000 bonus points, plus a $10 sdm card for spending over $50?
Yes, terra. That’s the beauty of using your Optimum rewards card creatively!
I like the way you think terrarankin!!!! Great tip!
woo hoo, going tomorrow for this GREAT deal!
Thanks for clarifying that u don’t have to be a student to redeem.
And if terrarankin uses a Shopper Optimum Mastercard to purchase the student gift card then that’s an extra 15 points per dollar on TOP of all that.
Out of curiousity, does this apply for the province of Quebec? Thanks!
u cant get a $10 shoppers drugcard if u purchase $50 in student cards because cards are excluded…am i right or am i right?
sampler10: u cant get a $10 shoppers drugcard if u purchase $50 in student cards because cards are excluded…am i right or am i right?
You’re probably right. I’d check the fine print for you but I threw my paper copy of the flyer out.

OOOPS!! Probably not. Double check the days that each of those deals are valid. I think the 10,000 point deal was Sat/Sun. The $10 sdm giftcard deal is on Mon-Fri.
The $10 sdm offer starts on Monday, Sept 28, whereas the optimum points for fragrance/makeup purchases is valid only on the 26th and 27th. Looks like you’ll have to choose one or the other terra!
Darn, oh well, i went and gor the cologne last night and I ended up getting just over 15,000 points. cant complain!
