Thank you for doing that! I didn't know if you knew off the top of your head :)

I've never seen them overlap, normally the one expires before the other begins but has the same or similar items.

Buy a $250 or $300 Gift Card and get "10 %" back.

• If you buy a $250 GC, you will get $20 additional added to the balance. This ends up being 9.25%. Not the 10% that they tout, but it is still better than most would get in a bank! Ending balance of a $250 GC purchase should be $270.
• If you buy the $300 GC, you will receive an additional $30 added to the balance. Ending balance of a $300 GC purchase should be $330.

What you have to do:
1. Go to the customer service desk @ your local Shaw's location.
2. Ask to buy a GC (one of the price points above). No tax form or refund check is necessary.
3. Spend wisely!

There's a limit of $1250 that you can purchase in GC. (not including the bonus amount).
The additional bonus amount (either $20 or $30) can not be used for the purchase of alcohol, fuel, tobacco, lottery tickets, dairy products, prescription drugs, or additional gift cards.

Heather, when I was at CS the other day I read on their stand up display that a shopper can buy a maximum amount of $1,250 in GC's.
But as I am looking at the flyer, there is no mention of it.

I got a gift card and the bonus today! I was the first to ask so they used me as practice . . . took about 10 minutes as they weren't sure how to do it . . .

they should ring the full amount (what you are paying and the bonus) so either 275 or 330 and then when they use the code to put in the bonus it will subtract the bonus amount from the cost of the card.

They were a little confused but we figured it out on like try #5!

As for the limit, the sign in the store says you may buy 1250 worth of cards (plus bonus) and they do ring in your rewards card when they do the sale so its a per reward card limit . . .

I'm planning to get a couple more in the next month before the offer is over since I know my grocery budget for the year will have me spending a bunch more in shaws before the year is over!

While I was there I used my new GC to get the Corned beef deal - I haven't had to buy potatoes in about 2 months now thanks to this and the last time they did something like and the HC soups

Shouldn't the ending balance be $330 not $300? Just want to be sure what to expect when I send hubby to the store.

This may sound stupid but I'm confused as to how they can put restrictions on the bonus portion. How will they enforce that if its just on a gift card?

My only concern is the dairy products part. I buy a lot of milk so I dont want to mess it up.

[PollyG]

Does anyone know if we can buy these gift cards by credit card? or we have to pay by cash or debit card?

Thanks,

There was a sign up at CS when I went to get one and it said you can pay by cash, check, debit or credit card. You'll need a photo ID for check or credit card. HTH!
