Thanks for the heads up. I got that $10 credit on the gift card buy from a month back so I couldn't resist.
One more thing to add. They currently have 4% cashback bonus on your 3 categories for the first 3 months. It's definitely a good credit card to have. Time to buy bestbuy and amazon gift cards on groceries
Seconding this. If you don't carry a balance on it, it's a fantastic card. No tap-to-pay though.
God damn. I have $170 in Shoppers points burning a hole in my pocket, but outside of the improved 3D, almost no desire to actually get a N3DS. Still so tempted.
Anyway, I was wondering what was up. My neighbourhood Shoppers has a little case at the front of the store that they fill with their scant electronics offerings. This week, I noticed four or more Xboxes and PS4s up there. Definitely unusual stock levels for this store in particular.
This will be mine, thanks for the deal!
The credit card has tap & pay unless you meant their debit card which currently don't
Are you sure? Hunh, it's possible that I just got used to not tapping with the debit card.
Maybe disregard that, guys.
Yeah. I already got this card last December and I had been doing tap & go since. You were probably thinking of debit.

I buy a n3DS XL for regular price, then EB has a deal for the n3DS XL with Hyrule Warriors for the same price, then Best Buy puts it on sale for $200, now shoppers puts it on sale for $180.
How many times must I return this damn console?! Lol

I actually want a New 3DS, but Shoppers Electronic stocks are very unreliable.
PS4 one has the original soundtrack.
I never played any version of it before. Final Fantasy 9 was the last FF game that I played. But for $20 and having that extra $10 Amazon credit, ehhhhh why not? Maybe I'll start it up sometime this summer.
ebgames.ca seems to have the playstation vr bundle up for pre-order for those who missed it...

No. That's considered a cash advance, and most CCs will charge 21.99% annually on that.
I'm assuming that Tangerine card is a CC as well. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Online bill payment or transfer from whatever chequing account you have. Anything you would've used your debit card for, charge it instead to the credit card and then pay it off.
1. Open a Tangerine chequing account ($0 monthly fee)
2. Or, create a payee on your bank account
3. Print off your bill statement and go to a bank.

I just complained, they upgraded the order to priority shipping and gave me $10 promo certificate. I'm not really in rush though so I will wait.

There is no cost or effort to list on Amazon, so people just list at ridiculous prices to see if someone bites. They aren't selling at those prices and Amazon fees are even more than Ebay.
And I see the same units listed over and over on Kijiji.
cool, thanks guys
I probably shouldn't bother tho. like what are the chances of me getting approved when I'm a broke college student who makes fuck all each month? yoo thank fuck for holidays. what else, my bank did offer (so I didn't ask for it) to raise my credit card limit to $4500 from $1000 like a couple weeks ago. I said sure. good idea, bad idea, too late now. they probably thought I had good spending habits on my card before I went back to school. now I don't buy shit unless it's something I really, really, really want. there's a metric ton of shit I'm clueless on
I went to the bank last week and they said I can get 10000. I said no. Lol.
Credit limit increase? Why lol?
shit man with respect to my earnings, I don't plan on changing my spending habits at all. l had my old limit of 1000 and used only 300 a month, what difference does it make when I use 300 with a limit of 4500? that was my thinking
Yeah. I do use my card a lot more but I think they offered it because I had my card for a long time. I don't need 10000 just yet.
It's worse to use less % of your max isn't it?
It's actually better this way because the ratio of how much of your limit you use impacts your credit rating. I believe if you have <70% free for most of the time it positively affects your rating, where as if the card is almost at the limit most of the time it negatively impacts the rating.
1. So increase it regardless, you never know when you might need it.
2. No, the opposite. It's healthy to keep a low ratio.
Nope. It is much better to have a low utilization rate. If the % is high, they could be a red flag to your credit score.
I've sold stuff on Amazon before. Things have sold at ridiculous prices quite a bit. People do bite. I think the type of consumer on Amazon is perhaps richer or lazier than eBay members. Maybe I was lucky a few times I dunno.
I'm having the greatest amzon CSR talk ever
I'm laughing my ass off
Nikhil: Hello Fularu!
My name is Nikhil. I'll be glad to assist you today.
Me: Hello Nikhil how are you doing?
Nikhil: I am doing great, Fularu.
Me: I'm doing great thank you, and I'm glad you're doing great too! Srping in on the way ;-)
Nikhil: Yes Fularu! Excited about that.
Me: It's still cold though
Nikhil: Hahah.. you know actually I am located in India and it is already hot here.
Me: I know
I hope to come visit India one day, your country sounds amazing
Nikhil: Yes Fularu.
It is absolutely amazing and also kind of crazy. You should visit India.
Me: One of my aunts lived in New Dehli for 3 years and one of my brothers was in Locno (I believe?) for a year
So definitely ;-)
Nikhil: Nice to know that. Yeah it is Lucknow.
And both are insane places. The crowd, the places and the culture are great!
I live in the southern part of India though. New Delhi and Lucknow are in the north region, but I have visited both the places.
Me: The south? Like near Goa and provinces like that?
(Sorry my knowledge of India is rather limited, my apologies)
Nikhil: No worries at all, Fularu. It is great that you know places in India.
Goa comes in the west. I am located in a city called Hyderabad.
Me: Sounds interesting
Exotic name for me (to be honest) which makes it sound even more awesome
Nikhil: Hahah.. You should come down to Hyderabad if you get a chance when you are in India.
Me: I most definitely will!
Nikhil: But I must warn you, be prepared for spicy food.
Me: Eh, no worries, I'm from the mmiddle east, we like our food spicy
Nikhil: Nicee..
I love spicy food too.
I'm laughing my ass off
nah, don't sweat it bro

Soooooo that's how you get all those crazy credits? You player!
Seriously, I really like most of the Amazon CSR I talk to, great people in general!

I can't seem to find an option to cancel my Best Buy pre-order on the order status page. I ordered two items, one of them has shipped, and now I want to cancel the remaining item. How do I do that?

Beeing polite, nice and understanding of them goes a long way
Once one item has shipped from BB you can't cancel the order online. You now have to either contact them or wait until the other item ships and return it to a store.

Send email through the contact us part of the site, put order #.
Ask politely to cancel X item from the order.

Sadly they do. Source: the million of games without original box/manual at the bottom of every respective console rack
You lose $1 on the value I think and they won't work with trade in promos but that's it.
Something weird happened with a return I just made to Amazon, and I'm wondering if anyone's seen something similar.?
By the tracking number it says that they 'attempted delivery' to Amazon today, that they were unsuccessful, and now says 'item available for pickup'. I doubt Amazon is going to hoof it down to the post office to pick up my return, so does anyone have any suggestions?

Happened to me before, they "picked it up" the next day and refund went through.
Thanks guys
Glad to know that it's not a one-time occurrence. I'll keep an eye on it and if I don't see any movement tomorrow, I'll give support a shout.
Heyyy all. I'm cross-posting this from B/S/T with the hopes someone can help!
Any Canadians here with a Shoppers store nearby that has Wii Points cards?
The exchange rate --> America makes it so that I can get these at a discounted price for once. If you're in Canada and your local store (doesn't have to be Shoppers, any store would be great) has some I'd like to ask you to purchase them if it's convenient for you, and I will compensate you for your time. I'll only need the code off the back so no shipping would be needed.
I'm a Gold Buyer/Seller so please contact me with confidence. Thank you!
(I'm also eager to buy any Wii Points card for NA region at a discount.)

I thought Nintendo cards were country specific (IE if I buy points in the US I can't use in Canada and vice versa)?
