I used points to redeem a Dyson hair dryer and paid $300 after using the points. I got 20X on the $300 and earned about 90000 points.I didn't think you could redeem points and earn points on the same transactions...can someone chime in here who has done redemption events?
What are #SLAM offers? I've started noticing them on my Superstore advertising but can't really figure out what they are.
Was sure you clever peeps here would know!
That is awesome!!!! Good to know about earning points and redeeming. I would love one of those dryers...but I had purchased an expensive Chi dryer when I was managing at one of the hairdresser wholesale store. So it will last me a few years yet...unless I give that one to the dd as she LOVES it and always asks me to travel with it to her house so she can use it lol.Ok back from Shoppers and one happy wife.
Dyson 499 plus tax, redeemed 200000 bonus extra 100000 so 300 off
personal offer of 10000 points for every $30, so $200 left to pay, awarded 60000 points. plus additional 2985 reg points.
So yes you can double up these offers, but you get the bonus points after the others have been taken off. So just on the ones you pay outright for.
Did I say wife is very happy now.
Well, I think I finally got the dh to understand about " cashing out " our points into cash.
After we were done shopping on the weekend, as we were driving home...he was asking about the amount of points we have. So I asked him how much he thought that was. He was unsure how much there actually was. So when I explained to him how much $$$ we had in points. After I explained that we don't need the money for free groceries as we have a set budget for those....but that I would like to redirect the funds from the " free groceries " to " cash " to put towards our fun fund or trip money. I was pleasantly surprised when we agreed. So hopefully over the next few weeks, we will be redeeming some of those points. I want to redeem them quickly, as it's quite high and I don't want them stolen like others in here have had happen.
So now when we are planning our next trip and I pull out the envelope with my " cash" from redeemed points...I won't have to explain the whole process again lol.
There is a method to my madness
I signed up for the PC Mastercard during one of the deals where I got 100,000 points for signing up! I haven't even used the card other than one time to obtain the points, but heck yeah I'll take a free $100! The credit card I regularly use is a BMO Air Miles Mastercard, so I'm having a hard time deciding if I should switch over to the PC one.Like for you,DH finally understood the process last week. We’re now getting a PC Mastercard to increase our vacation money!
This board seems like the best place to ask about the best strategy for what I want to do: purchase a Nintendo Switch from Shoppers Drug Mart with my PC points. They cost $399. Obviously, doing some of this doubling up on deals is the best way to go, and I'm not too familiar with that. But what is the best basic deal? It's usually when they give you points back for a large redemption and not when they give you extra $ off for a redemption, right? You guys are the experts!
So we have done this exact thing last christmas. Then just recently did with the Dyson hairdryer. Wait till you have at least 200,000 points. Then with a month there will be a bonus redemtion, where you will get 300,000 worth of points for your 200,000, sort of like a free $100. But then if you wait, there should be also a 20x points or personal offer come in at the same time. Ours was 10,000 for every $30 spent. This applies to the remaining balance. So in your case the extra $99(tax not included), So you would spend 200,000 points pay out of pocket the $99 plus the tax on the 399, and get back 30,000 points.This board seems like the best place to ask about the best strategy for what I want to do: purchase a Nintendo Switch from Shoppers Drug Mart with my PC points.

I saw the offer on Black Friday and was so upset I wasn't close enough to be able to do it! It was such a great deal. Unfortunately, we can't wait that long again. My son wants it for his birthday in October, but we'll likely just get it as soon as a really good deal becomes available. We're close to what we need in terms of points now.I saved up for a switch last year. (the switch lite, but the same principles apply!)
I always kept a running list on things we needed for the house, and I bought them when shoppers had the points multipliers (like spend 50$, get 20x the points).
Then I redeemed my points on black friday. If you want to wait that long, it’s the very best redemption event of the year. Otherwise, about once a month shoppers does events where you get bonus $ off at different redemption levels. The highest level is 300$ off when you redeem 200,000 points. So to get your switch completely free (just pay the taxes) you would need 300,000 points on a redemption weekend.
Have you also made an online account? You’ll get personal offers for points on specific products. Some that you buy all the time, others that the algorithm picks for you? A second category is usually not great, in my experience...but you can get a decent return on stuff that you do actually purchase.
This is very helpful! Thanks! I'll keep checking for redemption events, because we're almost there in terms of points. Although the last time I checked at the Shoppers that usually carries the Switch, they didn't have any! This might be my biggest problem now, haha.So we have done this exact thing last christmas.

Just call the store ahead of time instead of driving around. There are only 2 stores in the gta that sold the dyson. I could do it online for the redemtion. But would not get the bonus points that was an instore bonus.so depending on the bonus you might be able to do it online.This is very helpful! Thanks!
