Are we able to collect points when buying a Shoppers G/C? I vaguely remember being able to do this at one point. Theoretically then, could you use a Shoppers G/C to buy a Disney G/C?
You only get points on Shoppers GCs if they have a special offer going. that doesn't happen often. As to purchasing a Disney GC with a Shoppers GC the answer is no. I asked that same question once when Shoppers had a deal on their GC's.Are we able to collect points when buying a Shoppers G/C? I vaguely remember being able to do this at one point.

Well, it took me ages to get around to searching this post out. I got a No Frills email today that says TOMORROW (Wednesday, March 13) you can get 4000 PC points for spending $10 on Cadbury chocolate. Since the Hazelnut Dairy Milk Chocolate bars are my go to to stash away, that's just 5....or maybe Cadbury mini-eggs.
It is nice that they give you offers based on what you purchase. We often get points for things we shop for weekly like veggies and deli meat and snack items. I have had them also try to give me the offer, but it's on something that is on sale...so then you would have to buy 2 or more. Here is an example. I often buy Nutrigrain Bars for the one son for school lunches. They will give me an offer of get X point when you spend 2.00 but they are on sale for 1.98. I will have to buy 2 in order to get the bonus. But I have also then saved that offer for the following week...so that I can maximize it when they are full price. But that's only because the bank account allows me to do that...some years, it has notI guess they noticed I did groceries last week at Fortinos, as this week I have a 17,500 pts for every 175$ spent. Normally I just get Shoppers offers, so this is great! In total, I have 28 offers.
I'm not sure if we covered this, but can I redeem points and still earn points at Shoppers? I know I can at Superstore/Loblaws.
I'd like to do the 20x/$50 event, but I'd also like to cash out 50,000 on that offer.
Not at Shoppers. Loblaws lets you, but Shoppers did not give me my points when I redeemed. I was told it was because my redeemption of points brought my purchase under the $50 thresheld spend amount needed. Cashier ended up bringing a Manager over to void my purchase; put my points back on; and then rang the purchase through again *without* my redeeming any points in order to get the points for spending $50.
I went in to my no frills and grabbed $10.65 of chocolate and got my 4,000 points! Making my list for $50 for Saturday now too.Ooooooooooo that's a great offer. I'm not a chocolate person, but I do LOVE the mini eggs. The Easter Bunny has been known to give this Momma ( with her name on it ) a big bag of those just for her And I don't like to share those ones lol. I think I would be going to complete that offer. That's a pretty easy one.
My experience is that Fortinos/Loblaws round UP, so you only need to buy that one box at 1.98 to get the deal...but Shoppers does NOT round up, so you have to buy 2 boxes...or that's what I've noticed...It is nice that they give you offers based on what you purchase.
