At Home & LifeStyle programs: gift cards 20% off!

antelope · 发表于 2005-7-11 23:17

What is it about: you join the program, and you can buy the gift cards (GC) of many stores at full price, and get 20% off at the beginning of the next month. The stores include futureshop, bestbuy, staples, the bay, zellus, winners, petro canada, canadian tire, chapters and many more.

So technically you get 20% off your purchase in these stores when you use GC. There is a membership fee varied from $99.99 to $155.88, but the various mail-in rebates seem to cover it.

Caution: the process is a little complicated. The program first came out in USA and seemed to come to Canada last year. There are some complaints about the company which runs these programs on the internet if you try google. But the discussions in redflagdeals.com seem to be good.

Strongly suggest you read ALL post in the following link (there are 2200+ posts in that thread, be prepared!), especially the first one and the links in it. Unless your potential savings can justify the time you will spend, don't jump in.

My personal experience:

I subscribed lifestyle through allposter.com and at home through vistaprint.ca. Already bought quite a few gift cards, and have not met any problems yet. Typically if I order GC today though telephone, they will be delivered to me the next next monday. They mail out GC using purolator letter if the overall amount is more than $350 (take one business day to Edmonton), and use regular letter if it is less or equal to $350 (probably take 4 or more business days). The mail-in rebate forms I got well cover the membership fees, but it is not the same to all subscribers, so you may get less or more than I do.
