No they don't ...but London Drugs does & they also stack coupons @ LD

Thanks.. It'd be way cool if they did price match.. Lol.. Is there a "norm" for PMs? Is it only on selected stores?

You can PM at Walmart & Zellers! I've been doing both, but since I got the VIP SPC card (gives you 10%off) I've been shopping at Zellers more, lol

Someone posted also that CT will PM & give you 10%off in CT $$$

Yes Canadian Tire Price Matches + Gives you 10 % of the lower advertised price in CT money which is great .

I try to take Wal Mart flyer + Zellers flyer ( No longer Canadian company ) to Canadian Tire to PM .. so that I can give business to a Canadian company + get 10 % extra in CT money .

I believe the CT money 10 % extra bonus after the PM is only given if you pay by debit or cash , if you pay by CC I think they only PM the product without giving you the extra 10 % CT money

Ok, so a awhile back, a rep was at SDM asking customers to sign up for the Optimum-Mastercard card.. He went on saying that it's free and you're obliged not to pay anything.. Just use that card as your regular optimum card.. And upon signing up, you have a bonus of 15,000 points and every $ you spend gives you 25 points..

Is anyone here with the Optimum-Mastercard card? Is it true that there are no fees?

Pardon my ignorance, really new to this.. TIA for all inputs..

It's true, there's no fee!!!

It's true, there's no fee!!!

Thanks.. I was just confused because on the SDM website, I thought I read something about fees..

Oh no, so is it only me who's using the regular optimum card and you're all using the mastercard one?!

I think you use both to get more points .

You show your regular optimum card + pay with your Shoppers M/C to get more points .

The Shoppers M/C is just like any other M/C & can be used everywhere else like at other stores too .

shhh! I don't use it. I have one, used it to do a balance transfer but I don't use the card. Their credit card rules are a little absurd. But you can't tell anyone. They may revoke my SDM guru status!
