There was a coupon a little while ago that I think was circulated to Plus members for 10 000 Shoppers Optimum Points, valid until Jan 29…

Nevermind, I just found the coupon and read the fine print:
“Not to be used in conjunction with any other Shoppers Optimum Points promotions or offers.”

I was also wondering about whether or not the 10,000 bonus points coupon could be used… I have yet to find where I put it, but… lol!

This is perfect timing. The Sunday/Monday specials are all baby things I need to buy soon. I’m already back to 75000 points even after buying a Wii in December. I love SDM!

McMinsen is very clever (hodari — in Kiswahili — new word for you buddy!!)

Anyway, why not just use the buy $50 and get 10,000 bonus points coupon which the Optimum Plus people got? I think its valid till Jan 31, 2010! Mind you, with that non-plus members may be playing russian roullette in that they may get nothing.…. ??

What age does SDM consider to be senior??? At Zeller’s it is 55, I am sure different stores have diferent ages as well.

A few things to remember… the senior’s discount (20%) is good only on regular priced merchandise, not sale stuff. The coupon bonus available to a senior is probably one of those SDM coupons that has a relatively short expiry date, so pay attention to that if you get one. Also, those SDM coupons act as a coupon on your next purchase and may not count towards a minimum spend if you were using it in a bonus points event down the road. I think there was at least one person that used one of these SDM coupons during the “Tell a Friend” event and it screwed things up because it didn’t actually count towards the minimum spend because it was a “coupon”.

If you happen to have $100 or more of shopping to do, it might make sense to split it into two $50 transactions to see if you can get this deal (7000 points for $50 spend) twice. Note: “Maximum 7,000 points per offer regardless of total dollar value of transaction.” This all can still be a good deal, just be aware of some stuff!

afshi — When you buy an SDM gift card you get regular points only, not bonus points. The purchase of a gift card (whether SDM or for another store) does not count toward your $50 purchase.
So you can purchase a $50 SDM gift card and get 500 pts, then use that same gift card to make your $50 purchase between Jan. 23–25 to get the bonus 7000 pts. For a total of 7500 pts.

I thought from a thread in the Deals Forum that gift cards are excluded? I need to know asap! Thanks
