That's the thing - it's on sale this week. The hoarders have come out. lol

$9. But given you can turn around and buy more with the points you just got.. well, it's a never ending cycle of points, and exploiting the bonus they had during the weekend.

 

[zroid]

Especially if you return the chocolate bars after spending your points :<

Let's move on from that...

 

[SickBoy]

So a question about the Optimum deal: do you have to buy each deal on a separate transaction? May as well stock up on some gum for my wife.

You can buy as much as you want in a single transaction.

I did the chocolate thing this morning, I was surprised they still had bars left. Got the 8000 points and some candy. Just once is fine with me. I checked some other Shoppers later today and they were all cleaned out.

 

[RS4-]

Provided that the SDM you go to doesn't limit you.

Which is something that should've been in effect day 1.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Seems like a good deal. I spend $90ish on chocolate, get $220ish worth of bonus redemption points = Wii U plus lots of Halloween candy for $90?

This... is a really good idea. Is this deal still on?

 

[zroid]

Points deal is on until the 23rd, but the chocolate 2/$4 sale ends this week I think.

 

[isny]

Ima stop by the Rideau one in the morn before class Stump. I'll text you and let you know if they have any chocolate left after I hit it up.

 

[MrBambinoDent]

So I see the 2 for 4$ in the flyer but I can't understand how you get all these extra points. Could someone explain this please?

 

[zroid]

It's advertised online, and sometimes in-store. Just buy the goods and you'll get the points, pretty simple.

Oh ok, thanks. I may check SDM tonight : )

 

[iphys]

I've already eaten 1.33 of my 4 chocolate bars -- might have to see if I can get some more tomorrow, lol. Gotta go back to complain anyway, because it showed the 8080 points on my receipt with my card number and everything, but my account balance said "unavailable" and after I went to another Shoppers to get gum, I noticed the 8080 points from my chocolate run were never actually credited.

Waiting at Dundas futureshop to do the trade 2 for NHL 13. Wanted to do it right away since one of my trade in games is NHL 12.

Did you get it done? Some people are having serious issues at RFD. Apparently the trade system is down. I requested my In-store pickup at 7am hopefully they fill it soon.

Just got it. About 6 people behind me in line. Got the Stanley cup edition. Glad I didn't wait til lunch.

Edit: guy behind me got the last 360 special edition.

Yeah, I don't think people realize how well NHL sells up here. If I get stuck with the regular edition I won't be too upset but I have a feeling they aren't filling my in store pickup because they are selling to the people who lined up first.

Daaaamn. I hope there are some good crappy games to trade when the list updates!

Oh god, they're seriously doing that?

Somehow I had a feeling... now I've gotta rethink what to use my $20 off $39.99 coupon on (if anything). Hmmmmm...

Changes on Fridays.

Just got back from Future Shop. Didn't have any problem with the trade. There were three other people at my location picking NHL13 that I saw, but no one else using the trade deal. I don't think there were more than half a dozen shoppers in the store total.

Really cheap PS3 NHL 13 CE + $10 credit towards any $19.99+ game in October. Good day so far.

 

[The Elite]

According to RFD Yonge and Dundas is all sold out of the CE already.

 

[MrBambinoDent]

So about SDM how do you get 220$ worth of points if they list 170$ as the maximum you can get With 95000 points.

Special redemption days where you get extra money for the same amount of points.

 

[theosi]

Had no problems trading in NHL 12 and batman Arkham city for NHL 13 CE at the st Catherine store in Montreal. Felt like robbery. Bunch of CEs there for both systems.

I don't understand why people buy the same hockey game every year since 1996...

 

[SSReborn]

I just picked up my preordered copy of Tekken Tag 2 at EBgames and they told me that the price actually dropped on the day of release. So right now its 49.99 as opposed to the 59.99 it would have cost normally. I got the difference back on a gift card. If anyone's interested in the game they should check it out.

New features, roster updates, keeping up with the online community.

I hope Twisted Metal is still on the list.

Anyone trying to do a trade of NHL 12 today at FS should go right away. Apparently it's a typo and will be removed soon.

Is it one day only? I'm too lazy/tired to go today, so I hope not.

 

[elty]

Just FYI:

I was able to return without receipt to Walmart. They asked me for the transaction date, credit card number and the item and found my transaction number in like 5 minutes.

Also not all of us are buying every year. I'm just now updating from '09. My copy is in the mail now to be delivered, and Canada Post predicts it should be today.

No complaints about FS shipping here, that's right on time!

Has anyone seen that no one in the stands is actually watching the action? I know it's a randomization routine but I would really think that at least 50% of those faces should be looking down at the ice at least.

I'm not completely sure about that I would call them and check this was in Toronto btw

Same price on website but it looks like some kind of sale. I'll call my local store.

OMG, Shoppers is doing a Sunday/Monday special on the Cadbury bars next week: 2/$3 but with a limit of 4. Also, Ritz for $1.79. This is from the Ontario flyer on SmartCanucks.

These are deals I can get behind!!

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I'm still waiting for Ritz and Co. to go back down to 2/$3 but I guess that'll never happen again. Same with Ruffles/Sun Chips at 2/$3.

Price-protect the Cadbury bars!

 

[zroid]

at this point, Shoppers really just doesn't even give a fuck

If it's a Leafs game most of them should be on their Blackberrys.

I feel like I should bring back my bars on Sunday and ask them for price protection. lol

The one above is the better game!
