Alright all you PC Optimum gurus, help a Duck out please! Just noticed on FB that there is a bonus redemption weekend coming up and I need some very clear instructions on how to work this to my benefit (i can do AM math in my sleep and work magic with that rewards programme but this one continues to baffle me )

I have enough point to do the middle option in the example, so does that mean I pick up $140 worth of stuff (assuming i can actually FIND that much ) grab a loadable Disney Gift Card and ask to have $140 put on it? or however much i want so long as it doesn't exceed my actual purchases??
Will I earn points on items that are either on the shelf or loaded to my card (I'm crossing my fingers I actually GET some this week ) or is this just a case of redeeming points?
yay these events are the best!
yes, you’re on the right track. spending that much $ at the drug store takes planning! here’s some suggestions:
- stock up on vitamins/medicine you like to have around and that has a long expiry
- toothbrush heads if you use fancy toothbrushes
- razors/razor heads
- sunscreen (check expiry dates though—at this point in the year I would be thinking about next summer. Or if I were The Duck, a Disney trip!!)
- some shoppers have good electronics sections. Headphones, video games, DVDs, etc)
- not big ticket items, but it can help to add some basic grocery items to your cart
- fertility-related products (pregnancy tests, ovulation tests...this is more general info for anyone else who is reading!)
like with AM cash miles, your pre-tax total has to be 140$ before the gift card. some cashiers will let you put it all in one transaction, others will make you split it into 2. either way, redeem 100000 points for 140$ worth of stuff, then buy a 140$ gift card. i know some stuff is more expensive at shoppers, so you could always offset extra $ you have to spend by getting a lower $ gift card.
as for points...you should earn any specific targeted offers or bonus points on specific products. you won’t earn multipliers (like 20x the points if you spend 50$).
phew. make sense? let me know, because the kiddo is napping so i have lots of time to explain more
