Do it yourself supermarket checkouts

Save On doesn't let you donate points? I didn't know that. Why the change? I have lots of cards too. Save On, Petro Can, Esso Extra. Used to be a big fan of all the cards, but it is getting to be too much now. Card madness.

[Geoff]

Plus I discovered I have an HBC points card too. Can get points on all the Olympic merchandise I buy at the Bay at Woodgrove. And a fair bit too, such as on the $8 Olympic pins. Expensive, but I am a collector too, and only buy them there on my Woodgrove trips. Discovery of a new card I forgot I had. Yet more card madness.

HBC cards work at Zeller's too. You can trade the points for cash card too. 80000 get you $10 I think.

[Geoff]

That's right HBC cards work there at Zellers too. I have always used them at Zellers in the rare times I shop there. I just recently learned I can use them at both places too.

HBC cards can be used at the bay, zellers, home outfitters and esso.

[Geoff]

Esso too? Does it have to be for gas purchases or gas and otherwise? And you can use either the HBC Cards or Esso Extra? I have both.

[shara]

I believe it can be either but you can use their credit card there as well. I haven't done it in awhile.

[Geoff]

Thanks. 3 cards to choose from. Well 2 for me, as I don't own and don't want a credit card. More incentive to use the cards at Esso and the Bay.

[Geoff]

Thanks again. Learning more about the many cards in my wallet.

I have a lot of cards but dont' carry or use most of them. Shopper's optimum? no thanks. Safeway (not here!) I use save-on and hbc mostly. And quality foods because it's on my key chain lol
