I have 215000 pts currently on my card. I have redeemed over 100.00 so far. Until just a couple weeks ago I only had the option to shop at Independent. Now that no frills is on board, I'm hoping to rack up more points alot faster.

I don't have many just shy of 19, 000 as I redeemed $20 Thanksgiving weekend! Trying to save, save, save for Christmas gifts!
Be careful abt shop at no frills. Since last 3 transactions. . I didnt get any points. Still havent got the points inquiry answered.
same happened to me need to send email each time.
ok just tell me, you have 2 pc plus cards like 2 SDM optimum card right? so receiving 2 sets of offers. But can you redeem those directly from that cards without a PC debit or credit card? or must need to connect that to a pc debit or credit card? Now my husband has PC credit card and I have a supplementary card and we r receiving offers on dh name. If I get a PC plus card for getting 2 sets of offers, for redeeming points I think I have to connect it to our credit card and it mean one account. Just confused how we can get 2 different sets of offers. Only start using this program when it came to nofrill.
I finally got a spend $30 and get 3000 points that did not expire on the weekend. I work on weekends and always shop on Monday. I needed to do a large shop so with my fav app I was off to no frills. Spent just over $200 and got over 20 000. I have just over 215 000 points and I have redeemed $120 so far. I redeem for meat that is on sale since it is so expensive.
We don't have a pc credit or debit card they are not connected. We can redeem points from the card alone. If you connect both to your credit card then you will only get one set of offers. I would connect one card to credit card and have one unconnected so you get 2 sets of offers.
That is what I do. I have $110 on one card and $230 on the other. And I have redeemed for $100's this year already
Yes. Have to jump on mark down meat when I see it. Bought 8 whole chickens awhile ago for about $1.78 lb. Lean beef for 99 cents a pound. I bought 45 lbs! It's long gone. Brought homemade burgers to pool parties often!
You can definitely redeem with a PC Plus card - you just can't get a Loblaws (or Loblaws affiliated) GC using the PC Plus card. You need the PC credit card for that. Just be careful when redeeming....you can't get PC points when 'paying' with PC points.
It can be confusing at first, so hopefully I didn't contribute to more of that!
I only have the PC Plus card (no debit or credit account with them), so I can't speak to the perks or limitations of their bank linked PC points system.
DH has 143000 pts on his card and i have 136000 pts on my card. Saving these pts for christmas time. We dont celebrate christmas but we love that time of the year. The celebration feeling in every mall/store is so fascinating! :)

Not sure, I'm at 4500 points...so I still have a ways to go before redeeming. This is the information I have gathered from various posts on this thread. Changes to this program have been made in the last few months - people used to be able to redeem for GCs, but this practice seems to have stopped.
You can still redeem points for GCs if you have a PC M/C linked to the PC Plus point acct. Not with PC Plus card directly. I think the reason it still works using PC M/C is because they combine both PC Plus points & PC points earned using PC M/C from inside and outside of stores related to Loblaw/RCSS. If they want to stop points earned from PC Plus and allow regular PC points from redeeming for GCs, then they have to change the system to do that. I don't think they want to make PC M/C users mad so they would stop using their PC M/C outside of Loblaw stores because they can't redeem their regular PC points for GCs.

Thanks for confirming @a_1_a -- I dont do banking with them, so I dont know the ins and outs with respect to points program.
I think you also need to be careful with tax-free events. I tried to redeem 30,000 points on a purchase just over $30 at a tax-free event, but they said I could only redeem 20,000. I guess they consider the taxable items to be discounted by the amount of the tax but that you're still actually paying the tax, rather than it truly being the case that the items are tax-free. I had a spend $30 get 3000 points offer recently, and I was careful to make sure I spent enough over the $30 to make up for any tax discount I would get, as I suspect the offer would not apply otherwise because of the strange way they apply the tax discount.
Has anyone submitted a missing point inquiry in the last 2 days and has not received any response from PC Plus yet?
I went to NF yesterday and was unable to take advantage of my 3,200pt offer for Purex toilet paper because my NF location does not even carry the product. Talk about frustrating. I can't go to another store to try there because my community is too small.
I had a similar problem both when trying to earn points at a tax free event, and to spend points. Spent $406 before tax. Had personal offer for 10,000 WUS 50, so was to earn 80,000 pts. ON checkout, it would only give me 60,000 pts because the way they apply the discount on no tax days actual reduces your pre-tax amount. To fix this, they manually applied 20,000 pts for me. I then went to spend $97 and use 90,000 pts, and it would not let me, so to remedy it, they gave me a $10 gift card to use on my purchase, and used the 80,000 pts it would let me use, because even they felt the way tax savings reduces your base amount was unfair.
Guess I know never to shop with points or for points on a no tax day again.
