Combining Shoppers Optimum Coupon and In-store Bonus Points

I have been saving a coupon for 8,000 bonus points if I spend at least $75 at shoppers. One day I read in the newspaper that it is 20x the points that day if you spend $50 or more. I figured, if I can claim both the coupon and the in-store bonus points, I could reach 95,000 points easily. I headed to a store near our place after I got off form work. I made sure I had $75 worth of eligible items before taxes. I asked the cashier if after qualifying for the in-store bonus points I can still use the coupon. The cashier said if the register accepts it, then it should be good. So the cashier tried and sait the coupon was accepted but I had to wait for a week before the points will be credited. So I went home feeling happy because of the transaction. A week has passed and I did not see the bonus point added to my rewards points total. So I called customer service to find out what happend. The customer service agent told me that both coupons can't be used at the same time and if I do, I will only get the in-store bonus points. Too bad!
