SavingSmart with Great Canadian Rebates

Great Canadian Rebates is currently offering a rebate of $10.50 to join the MemberWorks-SavingSmart membership.

So what is MemberWorks-SavingSmart?

SavingSmart is a shopping club that provides a 5% discount on gift cards/certificates for a variety of national retailers and restaurants, as well as exclusive members-only online savings. Each time when you purchase gift cards from SavingSmart, it will automatically give you the discount.

What retailers are included in MemberWorks-SavingSmart?

You can purchase followin retailers’ gift cards from SavingSmart:

American Eagle Outfitters, Au Vieux, Duluth,Birks, BLOCKBUSTER, Canadian Tire, Casey’s, Certigard Labour Discount, Certigard Maintenance Service Package, Chapters, Cineplex, Coles, Crabtree & Evelyn, Cyberflowers.ca, Designer Depot, East Side Mario’s, eBags.com, Fruits & Passion, Golda’s Kitchen, Home Outfitters, HomeSense, Indigo, Linens ‘n Things, Olive Garden, Petro-Canada Preferred Price Card, Red Lobster, SportChek, Sports Experts, The Bay, The Keg Steakhouse & Bar, TipTop Tailors, VistaPrint, Watch Station, Winners, Zellers.

Among these retailer, what I really like the most is the CanadianTire gift card, as I can use it at the CanadianTire Gas bar. If I am buying the gift cards using my 2% Amex credit cards, I am saving 7% of gas each time. That is just sweet. Also, Zellers is a good one. If you combine the gift card discount with SPC card (SPC offer 10% off for regular and sales items at Zellers), the rebate is even bigger, 17% off!!!

Is there any limit of how many gift cards I can purchase each time?

No, There is NO limit to how many gift cards you can purchase per day or per retailers.

How much does it cost to join SavingSmart?

There is $9.95 monthly membership for SavingSmart. Currently, it is offering 15-day FREE trial. And Great Canadian Rebates is giving $10.50 when you join. So, you have 45 days FREE trial. Since there is no limit of how many gift cards you can purchase each time, you can just grab all the cards you want and then cancel the membership. However, if you buy regularly from the retailers above, I do recommend to keep the memebership because after you cancel, you cannot join again.

Have you joined before?

Yes, I have joined the same kind of membership before. At that time, it was 20% off the face value of the gift cards with a limit of 5 cards each month for each retailer. But that kind of membership is nowhere to find now.

How do I join?

If you decided to join SavingSmart, you need to sign up for Great Canadian Rebates first. Then, do a search on SavingSmart. Click on the link to the SavingSmart website and sign up from there. It is currently the only way to join SavingSmart. There is a bonus of $25 Petro-Canada Preferred Price Card being offered if you join now.

So, have fun shopping
