Regarding the Shell offer -- i think part of the confusion is that there have been (and still are) several overlapping offers that seem to differ from one area to another. There was one that gave 10 miles on top of whatever else you got, then the one that gives you whatever the multiplier offer is, yet another one on coke products, one for car washes if bought in bulk, the lists that are out on the Shell website are confusing and incomplete, signs get posted (or not) at stations and then not honoured ... NOW throw in the problems some are having with certain locations refusing credit card payment for gift cards and a person can get a tad twitched!
That wording has been on the Rexall email coupons for almost 2 years now (yeah i actually did just scan thru this thread to find my first comment about that wording
) and they have been stacking with minimal trouble (i now know which store i need to avoid if i want to stack!) I hand over any and all coupons i have, flip thru the ones on my phone and ask the cashier to please scan all of them figuring that if it works, great, if not, oh well. You obviously can't complain if the miles don't post due to what appears to be very clear indication that they will not combine but it's still worth trying!
) I worked for BMO before retiring and there were several accounts that were suspended for doing just that. BMO used to (years and years ago) offer an AM for each purchase at a AM retailer. A few people caught on and would purchase items separately to maximize the payout, mostly from Metro. There's small print in all the contracts (AM's accounts and BMO accounts) that cover the fact you are not supposed to play the system. We all do however they have the right to suspend or cancel accounts. Doesn't happen often but it does happen.
I've looked in three different stations this week and there is nothing grocery related in my area except Shoppers. Funny, while I was standing at the cash in the grocery store on Sunday I thought that I should have gone down the street to the Shell first and got a Visa card.....going to do it this weekend for sure.
