I find that pharmacist's statement hard to believe because to the best of my knowledge, prescription drugs are ineligible for those bonus points events at Shoppers. We spent nearly $20K in medication costs there since Jan 1/13 to now, and we never got bonus points on any of those meds - just the regular bonus points. So I think that pharmacist was full of crap with his statement - he said these people were holding back their heart meds so they could get them during bonus points events and get mega points, and again, I think he's full of it. The only thing we got bonus points on during bonus events was OTC stuff - for example, 10x the points if we bought a certain brand of vitamins (Life). Never for prescriptions.
But perhaps Street Pharmacist can qualify it further.
