Sandwraith Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Previous bricktobers at TRU had SOME discounts. Would be a major disappointment if nothing happens all October this year.Yeah i think there was a %25 off Monster Fighters sale plus the Bricktober set last year that i can recall. Quote
speedsausage Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Yeah i think there was a %25 off Monster Fighters sale plus the Bricktober set last year that i can recall.Yup that's correct. I ended picking up the whole theme on that sale last year minus HH. Quote
lobo1969 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Yeah i think there was a %25 off Monster Fighters sale plus the Bricktober set last year that i can recall.Sure was, I was getting VC sets for more than 25% off because I was pairing the sale prices with flyer coupons for one week Quote
Veegs Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Sure was, I was getting VC sets for more than 25% off because I was pairing the sale prices with flyer coupons for one weekThose were the good old days...TRU was also pretty good in the spring (albeit with rampant abuse of the cineplex codes) but the last bit of summer and the first week of bricktober not so good. If there are no sales for week two I don't know if I want to bother grabbing the second set. I ended up going back to TRU last Friday and paired RR with DA two times, but now my store has no JW (unless a restock hits...but seems unlikely), and what else looks like solid investment or quick flip at MSRP?

tacsniper Posted October 7, 2015 Author Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Those were the good old days...TRU was also pretty good in the spring (albeit with rampant abuse of the cineplex codes)Hey I spend a ton of $ in TRU during that period! I bet their executive team did not mind seeing the revenue chart during those months. I am sure TRU did not mind the rampant use of the $10 code or they would of put a stop to it much quicker. And yes, they can change things fast if they are losing money. Prime example when limit 3 for any lego sets kicked in after the huge discount error on their eBay store with no limits.

Stragus Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Those were the good old days...TRU was also pretty good in the spring (albeit with rampant abuse of the cineplex codes)?The cineplex code combined with the various 20% sales was fantastic.I do feel a little bad that this $10 off $40 coupon wouldn't scale as $50 off $20, $200 off $800 and so on. TRU ended up paying a lot in extra shipping due to the multitude of tiny orders... Quote
tacsniper Posted October 7, 2015 Author Posted October 7, 2015 Sadly there was a limit of 10 per set during that error. You def had one of the best deal haul of the year! Quote
Vodium Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 I got 10 of every set that had the error. Haha. Was pretty much buy 1 get 9 free. Quote

lobo1969 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Meh, I want to see some cold hard discounts before blowing my airmiles cash Quote
tacsniper Posted October 8, 2015 Author Posted October 8, 2015 Does anyone know how to redeem airmiles cash for TRU online? Quote
Sandwraith Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Does anyone know how to redeem airmiles cash for TRU online?You have the purchase e-vouchers from the airmiles site for TRU, they are pretty much e-giftcards. Quote
lobo1969 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) You have the purchase e-vouchers from the airmiles site for TRU, they are pretty much e-giftcards.And drawback of this is that you can only purchase $10 or $20 denominations and the TRU website only allows you to enter 5 giftcard/ voucher numbers per transaction. So when it comes to airmiles cash on TRU.ca you can only spend up to $100 per transaction (but use CC for any balance over $100). My next few purchases will be fairground mixers at $100 airmiles cash and $70+ in real dollars under this scheme. Edited October 8, 2015 by lobo1969 Quote

Maybe I will settle with a DO for half price =D Edited October 8, 2015 by tacsniper Quote

Brickson Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Great 2 days to buy. 7x air miles. Free joker poly and bricktober train set.Hmm, at 1 mile per $40, or 1 mile per $5.7 @ 7x, and 100 miles per $100 gift card, that is looking to be equivalent to be equivalent of a 17.5% sale? Can anybody confirm?For what it's worth I placed 2 orders over $75 and didn't get any Bricktober bonus poly or anything, le sigh, I could try again... Quote
Hansolo55 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Bricktober set is in store only. TRU $10 airmiles cash rewards cost 95 airmiles each. 1 mile for every $40 spent at TRU, so even with 7x the airmiles there's not a ton of value just in the airmiles. The real value is in the bricktober set and the joker bumper car poly. The airmiles bonus is just icing on the cake. Note: my TRU had a full Jurassic world restock in store, all sets available!

seapotato Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 You have to spend $40 at TRU to earn 1 mile. But redeem 95 miles to get a $10 TRU gift card. Without any promos, you'd have to spend $3,800 at TRU before you can even redeem for that $10! 1 Quote
