Shoppers Drug Mart Canada Bonus Repemption Nov 28 & 29!!

Posted by & filed under Canadian Deals & Coupons.

huge_89_449173And the day that we’ve all been wait­ing for, Bonus Redep­tion Day at Shop­pers Drug Mart!  The big day will be Novem­ber 28 & 29!  For all of you who have reached the max­i­mum num­ber of opti­mum points this is the day to spend them.  On Bonus Redep­tion Day your redep­tion amount increases.  So if you have 40,000  points you get $100 (extra $25) and if you have 75,000 you get $200 (extra $50) to spend!  This is a fan­tas­tic day to do a bunch of Christ­mas shop­ping, buy your­self a new cam­era or stock up on free food and other nec­ces­si­ties.  You can’t beat get­ting more free items can you?  And don’t for­get you can still use coupons to max­i­mize your purchases.

I don’t think I’ll have nearly enough points to make this Bonus Redep­tion Day prac­ti­cal for me (I’m pretty new to Opti­mum points), so I’m going to keep sav­ing them up for the next one.  I can’t wait to see your great pur­chases in the brag section!

Huge thank you goes out to kato for the heads up on this great event!

    I have 40,000 pts and I tried to get a $75 SDM GC last night with my opt pts and they wouldn’t let me. This is a good deal, but im pretty much stocked up right now for the winter.

  3. andreakralj

    This is a great deal! I save my points up all year and cash them in for Christ­mas ‘loot’.….

  4. Jessica

    I was just won­der­ing if I have 15,000 points can I cash that in for 30,000 points or do I have to have the max­i­mum num­ber of points like was stated in the message?

  5. SandraY

    Does Shop­pers Drug Mart have the bonus redemp­tion day only before Christ­mas or do they have it a few times a year?

  6. Kim

    Ok, so what am I miss­ing here?

    To me SDM has always been on the expen­sive side and I only go there when I absolutely have to (ie– Kid’s fever at 11 pm & out of Motrin). So how are you rack­ing up all these points with out spend­ing and arm and a leg when just gen­er­ally buy­ing stuff?

    I’m really curi­ous about this as I would love to save up points and get some­thing great!

    Kim, Shop­pers has good deals in the fly­ers I find. The two day spe­cials are usu­ally awe­some buys. The milk, eggs, butte,r and bread are the same price as every­where else (or cheaper when adver­tised) so I get them there to earn points. I also shop when they have the 20x the points events (When you spend $50). Although I didnt shop yes­ter­day cause there wasnt enough good deals for me to be able to spend $50. I usu­ally redeem twice a year.

    Kim,
    Lots of peo­ple wait until 15x or 20x the points days to buy things. Some­times there are also coupons for bonus points on cer­tain prod­ucts sent to your email if you’ve signed up to receive emails from them (they are posted on SC too most of the time).
    Other prod­ucts can some­times have their own sep­a­rate bonus points for buy­ing a cer­tain amount of them.
    Another great thing to do is on the 15x or 20x the points day use coupons. I have found that you can still get the bonus points even if you use, say, $10 in coupons mak­ing it under the min­i­mum spent. Make sense?

    I’ve been wait­ing for this too. I have over 100,000 points right now so I’m going to see if I can get $300 worth of stuff.

    The best part is now that I’m an opti­mum mem­ber, I get more points back when I redeem the points I do have.

    @Kim: I too only buy stuff on sale unless absolutely nec­es­sary. I also use the extra bonus coupons in Glow mag­a­zine and shop the 20X days. It’s amaz­ing how quickly I rack up the points.

  10. Kim

    Thanks for the information!

    I guess it’s my own fault for just auto­mat­i­cally toss­ing the SDM flyer when it comes in with the assump­tion that they are pricey. I’ll give them a sec­ond look now and sign up for the opti­mum card.

    Thanks again for tak­ing the time to train a “newby”!!

  11. armaan

    I have 39000 points and i would like to add 1000 more within next few days? do you know the best way to get 1000 points within 5 days?
    How many gift cards i habe to buy to get 1000 points?

  14. Polina

    Buy 4 Her­shey Christ­mas Cellos($2.49 each) get 2000 bonus points!!!

  15. Treya

    K can some­body explain some stuff for me.

    1.What’s the max you can reach in points?
    2.Can you redeem two points totals in one order?
    Like 2 x 75,000 pts in one order or would I have to do 2 orders?

    Thanks a bunch!

  16. Sheila

    Hi Treya, there is no max # of points you can reach, but you can only redeem 75,000 points at once, and if you want to redeem more, you’ll need to do it in two transactions =)

    I’m SOOOO excited for this, I already have a list of things I want to get =)

  17. The_Scarecrow

    Lili.… I tried to redeem my pts for a gift card last night and they said I can’t.

  19. star84

    I’m extremely excited about this! I have over 80,000 points right now so I’ve been wait­ing for these bonus redemp­tion days. I’m look­ing at get­ting the Wii : )

  21. Sheila

    I think in BC, it won’t be. It tra­di­tion­ally has been lower in BC, like get $180 instead of $150 or something.

  22. S j

    I am quiet dumb at this . Can some­body pls sug­gest whats the cheap­est way to get 2000 points to reach the 40, 000 points mark . Thanks !

  23. sharp1

    Take a look at Polina’s post above. 2000 points for under $10 is really good.

  24. Dinglehopper

    I only have enough for the reg­u­lar $25 redemp­tion level… would there be a bonus for this level or would it just be $25?

  25. Tara

    For those need­ing some last minute points:
    Start­ing on the 28th as well.….

    5000 points for pur­chas­ing a $100 AMEX gift card.
    2000 points for pur­chas­ing a $50 AMEX gift card.

    There are fees to acti­vate the card:
    * $4.95 + applic­a­ble taxes for a $50 Gift Card
    * $5.95 + applic­a­ble taxes for a $100 Gift Card
    * $6.95 + applic­a­ble taxes for a $200 Gift Card

    THEN USE THE AMEX CARD TO PAY FOR YOUR PURCHASES (CARD CAN BE USED ANYWHERE, DOESN’T HAVE TO BE AT SHOPPERS!) :)

    **FYI, Start­ing Novem­ber 28: Wii is on sale for $199, Sam­sung Blu-Ray Player on sale for $199**

  26. mcminsen

    The AMEX gift card can be used any­where? Or any­where that Amer­i­can Express cards are accepted? How about Costco?

  27. Suzanne LeBlanc

    I got my Opti­mum Card a long time ago and I am just now start­ing to see the poten­tial. I too only buy things on spe­cial at Shopper’s. Thanks so much for the shar­ing here! I am slow to learn but I am get­ting there.

  28. carlycanadian

    Thank you! I reached 77,000 points on Sat­ur­day! Bought a Sony cyber­shot cam­era (the pink one) for Xmas gift!($164.99 plus tax, it includes case, mem­ory card, recharge­able bat­tery thingy & CD & plu­gin thing for com­puter!) Bought a GC 1st for $200 & got 2000 points then used the GC to buy cam­era! Got over 34,000 points! Thanks for the tips SC!
    I use bonus coupons as much as pos­si­ble for stuff I use any­ways & buy gro­cery deals when on sale at SDM & use the 10,000 bonus coupons when they are posted.…this will be my 2nd redemp­tion since I joined SC in May! YAY! :)

  29. tammysyb

    Happy, happy, happy–I have 109,000! So I’m going to redeem 75,000 for 200.00, then take the remain­ing 34,000 plus the bonus 10,000 from the first redem­tion (I’m Plus) to get another 100.00. Great for Christ­mas time! Does any­one know if there’s any big deals for Sat­ur­day on cam­eras or any­thing like that? Do they have the GPS this year?

  31. Vivi

    Just called SDM cus­tomer ser­vice and the bonus redemp­tion is only $170 and not $200 ($200 is just in lim­ited areas only). That’s not good!!!!

  32. Lesley

    A TIP to those of you plan­ning to pur­chase a Wii. (we did last Christ­mas) Be sure to call your store, say Fri­day evening, to make sure they have some in stock! I live in Ottawa and had to call 4 stores before I found one with Wiis in stock. Then, make sure you get there before the store opens on Sat­ur­day. My hus­band went 1/2 hour early and there were 4 peo­ple already lined up ahead of him — and they all wanted Wiis! The store only had 6 in stock and they were gone in the first minute of open­ing. Good luck!

  34. Chantal

    I got a Nin­tendo DS at SDM for 99.00. That’s a way bet­ter price than Zellers or Wal­mart has it. And, I find the milk there to be the cheap­est of any gro­cery store. They do have good sales.

  35. Nikki

    I did this last time it was on. All you need is a min­i­mum of 40, 000 points to get $100 in prod­ucts– you cant get gift­cards with it though. But it was right before my hus­bands birth­day last time and I was able to get a nin­tendo ds and nin­tendo wii for redicu­lously cheep— I think all I had to do was pay the taxes!

  37. Ashley

    I hate that west­ern canada is get­ting shafted with only a $10 or $20 bonus. I remem­ber a few years ago when the bonus on redeem­ing 75000 points was $100!! That was like heaven! A $250 shop­ping spree, lol!! Oh well.…$20 extra free bucks is still $20 bucks I didn’t have before

  38. mcminsen

    When the SDM execs decided that BC and some other provinces would get a lower bonus redemp­tion level they attribute it to their mar­ket­ing plan. My neigh­bour­hood is sat­u­rated with SDMs (6 within walk­ing dis­tance), so they are dom­i­nat­ing the mar­ket here and don’t need to be as com­pet­i­tive. Oh well, more SDM clear­ance racks for me to keep an eye on. :-)

  39. Ashley

    Is that why?? That sucks!! I have two avail­able to me in a 100+ mile radius so I am def­i­nitely NOT sat­u­rated with choices!!! Either way there is noth­ing that could make me stop col­lect­ing, I love my shop­pers points! lol

  40. The_Scarecrow

    I went to my SDM 1 hr after open­ing and they still had 3 Wii sys­tems and no one in the store. Im def­i­nitely going to save my pts for this next year… only 34,000 pts to go or spend $50 3 times dur­ing the 20x the pts events.

  41. Sheila

    My neigh­bour­hood shop­pers had started their pro­mo­tion on the Fri­day, and extended it to Sun­day. I was so happy because some of the stuff I wanted was lim­ited edi­tion, and appar­ently when I called in ahead, they said it was the last one so they would hold it for me. Of course I imme­di­ately went and grabbed; while I was there, the lady told me that other peo­ple had asked for it after I called, so I’m glad I called early.

    I’m in Kingston, ON and there are SO many SDMs, prob­a­bly one every few blocks. There are 3 within walk­ing dis­tance of my house, so I’m not com­plain­ing, there are lots of stuff to choose from!
