i stopped in before work this morning and put my points towards a switch lite. yay for the bonus redemption event!
Or a big ticket item.,,,like a video game or some techy gadget. If the hubby wasn't so picky about what type of smart tv he wants...I would maybe...just MAYBE use all my points to get him a smart tv!
Last year...we purchased our boys the Nintendo switch and a couple of games, and some extra accessories...and we only spent 40.00 out of our pocket. We cleared out most of the points...but I really didn't want to have to spend X amount of dollars on another gaming system. So everyone won on that purchase!
I need 18000 points to get to 130000 for the redemption event. Online purchase takes longer to post points so I am thinking of getting the OLG gift cards. What are the participating lottery retailers if they can’t be used at Shoppers, Loblaws, Shell and Petro Canada? The convenience stores? What about the retailers in the malls? TIA!I posted this on the wrong thread earlier. Guess that's what I get for having so many threads I follow.....
Bought the Lotto gift cards this morning. What I didn't realize is that you get 10,000 points for a $50 spend for the rest of the week. That's what showed when I bought them so I had to go to customer service to get the other 2000 points. They were not aware of the offer but gave me the points anyways.
Bought $200 in Lotto, got 48,000 points. BIL will get $100 for xmas, DH will get $50 (he buys one lotto ticket a week so that will last) and the other $50 will purchase scratch tickets that are gifts for others. This, for us, was a really good buy.
I have used mine at a Smoke/convenience store in the Pickering Town Centre with no problems. Also used it at a little convenience store. Not even sure if I haven't used mine at a Sobey's store.I need 18000 points to get to 130000 for the redemption event.

I thought someone bought one for a Loblaws gift card deal and said it couldn’t be used there a while ago. But yes, the website doesn’t mention Loblaws.I have used mine at a Smoke/convenience store in the Pickering Town Centre with no problems. Also used it at a little convenience store.

Edited to add it doesn't say on the website that they can't be used at Loblaws.
From website.
""All lottery gift cards can only be redeemed at more than 8,400 participating lottery retailers. Note that lottery gift cards cannot be redeemed at Shoppers Drug Mart, Shell and Petro Canada. ""
I JUST used mine to buy one of those scratch gift packs for a gift and I did this at our corner Circle K store. I know I have used the gift cards before at Shell so not sure why they say you can't. Don't know about Loblaws or Shoppers but I would think any place that sells OLG should take them. They just scan them on the OLG machine. Makes no sense that they wouldn't.I need 18000 points to get to 130000 for the redemption event. Online purchase takes longer to post points so I am thinking of getting the OLG gift cards.

I once bought one at Shell for a promotion and tried to use it there and found out it couldn't be used there.I thought someone bought one for a Loblaws gift card deal and said it couldn’t be used there a while ago. But yes, the website doesn’t mention Loblaws.
My 10000 points don’t post. They told me I had to wait till Dec. 27.I posted this on the wrong thread earlier. Guess that's what I get for having so many threads I follow.....

My niece tried to purchase 2 $25 cards and was told the deal would only apply to $50 cards, that she could not break it up. She had get a refund and go back and get a $50 one.I bought 2 $25 OLG gcs but the points don’t show on the receipt. Should I chase?
No, send in a missing points request now. My points showed on my receipt right away. Are you sure your Optimum card was scanned? I only asked because once my niece purchased the $50 one her points didn't show either and she questioned it. The cashier said they would show later. She argued that and it's when they realized that the cashier didn't scan her Optimum card. There should be no waiting on this one.My 10000 points don’t post. They told me I had to wait till Dec. 27.
There are only $25 ones available. And I was told there’s no refund. I just send in an inquiry. The promote says every $50 and doesn’t say just $50 gift cards. Very unclear.My niece tried to purchase 2 $25 cards and was told the deal would only apply to $50 cards, that she could not break it up. She had get a refund and go back and get a $50 one.
Having said that, I would certainly put in for missing points. It's really not all that clear in the ad. You have nothing to lose and 10,000 points to gain.
