How to Submit a Buy X, Get Y Free Promotion

Need to setup a new BXGY promotion? Submitting a request is a simple procedure. Here's a step by step guide:

Step 1: Download the BXGY Submission Form here and save it to your computer.

(Note: Requests submitted without a BXGY Submission Form will be rejected until a form is submitted.)

Step 2: Open the BXGY Submission Form in Microsoft Excel. There are seven (7) columns in the spreadsheet:

• [A] Buy X (Article #)
• [B] Get Y (Article #)
• [C] Start Date
• [D] End Date
• [E] Description
• [F] Buy X - Sellable Intent
• [G] Free Good Value ($)

Column [A]

This column is required 100% of the time. This is where you specify the X (buy) item in your BXGY promotion.

Column [B]

This column is required 100% of the time. This is where you specify the Y (free) item in your BXGY promotion.

Column [C]

This is where you specify the date to kick off your BXGY promotion.

Column [D]

This is where you specify the date to end your BXGY promotion.

Column [E]

Please give us a brief description of your promotion.

(Ex: Receive a free Milwaukee Mitre Saw Stand with purchase of a Mitre Saw)

Column [F]

Please provide the Sellable Intent of your X item. This is important for us during the promotion setup process, as we use specific messaging on the PIP determined by the Sellable Intent.

Column [G]

Please provide the retail price of your Y item during the specified start and end dates. This will display on the PIP so make sure it is 100% accurate.

Step 3: Sign into your account on the HomeDepot.ca Digital Promotions Portal and click the "Submit a request" button in the top-right corner of the site. 

Step 4: Under "How can we assist you today?", select "Promotions" from the drop-down menu.

Step 5: Under "Promotion Type", select "Buy X Get Y Free (BXGY)" from the drop-down menu.

Step 6: Fill out the remaining required (*) fields on the request form and attach your BXGY Submission Form to the Attachments bar at the bottom. If you attach the wrong file, simply click the "x" to the right of that file's name to remove if from your request and re-attach the correct file.

(Note: The Attachments bar has a 20MB size limit.)

Step 7: Once the request form has been filled out, click "Submit" and your request will enter the queue. You will be sent a confirmation email that your request has been received with a ticket number, which you can use to track the status of your request.
